Have you starved yourself for at least 24 hours?

Oh shit!

Thats insane!

Well, that scared me straight.

I did a three day fast once. Fasting can be good for you. You need to make sure you drink lots of water while fasting and pay close attention to refeeding. Improper refeeding can kill you.

Improper refeeding can kill you

thats only for people who have been on the brink of starvation, though?

I have fasted 12 - 24 hours many times for religious (Jewish) purposes.

I decided to starve myself on Wednesday from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM on Thursday (Yesterday)

I didn't have an appetite and there was nothing that could whet it.

And now...

I feel like doing it again every other day. Is that safe?

Thoughts? Comments? Concerns?

yes, it's called fasting.


I do it 2x a year for about 14 days at at time.

Feels great afterwards, but be warned you will feel like crap the first 2 days as all the toxin and crap in your body gets stirred up.

Google the "master cleanse" or "Lemonade diet"

 

[Looney]

Yep, every year on August 10th.

I've gone three straight days (ie: no food till 4th day) without food or water, and ran 5-6 miles each of those days. I was still in highschool and got into an argument with my mom and she was like "you get no dinner" and i was like "okay ZOMG i wno't eat then at all!".

i totally won

although on the second day after I ran we went to the weight room to lift a little...and my vision was clody with sooo many whit dots in front of me - i don't know how to explain it. I was REALLLLLLY thirsty too - and ont he third day i barely sweat when i was running and I'm the type who usually sweats a LOT LOT LOT LOT.

the second night was the hardest for me because I was so thirsty...i actually felt fine on the 4th day in so far as physical pain or desire for water was concnerned but I realized i was probably hurting myself at that time,but i just couldn't "feel" it... so i started with a very light soup and built up to regular food ( id idn't want to just toss heavy stuff in immediately) over a period of three days

oh:

does a muslim fast count? sun rise to sunset....ridiculously easy during the winter time as the days are short, but can get substancially difficult during the summer when the days are 10-12 hours each

You're supposed to fast once a month for 24 hours...cleans your body out.

Over a girl...

stop being an idiot.

Alright fine.

I'll stop.

There is no stopping. You just are an idiot. Not because you didn't eat - its actually neat to see how far you can push yourself. But think about how that sounds. "I didnt eat for a long time because of this girl this one time..."

I've not eaten anything for 2 straight days. Wierd the was the first meal I ate afterwards I puked. Go figure...

 

[NikolaeVarius]

3 days no food. Only liquids. I felt horrible

 

[lyssword]

a word of wisdom, after you fasted/starved for a while, start out eating really slow and small amounts, otherwise you might have some problems.

 

[jackace]

I remember hearing somewhere that fasting 1 day a month is actually good for your body. Allows your body to clean itself out or something.

 

[eLiu]

Whoopee, you went a day without eating... want a cookie?

I do it when my sleep schedule results in bad meal times. For example... go to sleep around 8AM, wake up at 4PM. It's so close to dinner time that I don't bother with lunch. Dinner occurs around 7PM. Then I go to bed at 8AM again, wake up at 4PM. So my next meal is around 7PM again... meaning I went 24 hrs w/o any additional food.

 

[SludgeFactory]

Not a big deal to go 24 hrs w/o food. Some people are doing a variation of it every day, for weight loss/recomposition or even bulking, and calling it "intermittent fasting."

There are no significant metabolic benefits of the 6-7 meal/day "b00st ur metabolizm bro" diets. Somehow I doubt that ancient man metered out his portions into 400 calorie meals spread throughout the day, carrying things around in an assortment of little tupperware containers and shaker bottles.

I went 16 days and beat my friend. We drank V8 amd juice and had severe IBS/runs. Competition FTL!

Safe or not, it's definitely lame as $hit. Get a life.

 

[Tiamat]

longest i've gone without eating is 12 hrs. There is no way my body would allow me to fast for any longer than that.

WTF? I've SLEPT longer than that.

 

[Mojoed]

Starved myself for 24 hours? No, I've never done that. However I've gone 24+ hours without food a few times by accident. Like oversleeping and forgetting my wallet, etc.

 

[TallBill]

No, that would be horrible. OP you are a moron.

 

[sjwaste]

I've got a shirt for you!

 

[ForumMaster]

eh i do that a lot. sometimes cause i forget to take food to school and just don't have time.
