Going to try a 3 day fast, 100% juice and water only.
Heard it does wonders to cleanse and detoxify your body.

I hope you consulted your doctor before going on this fast, otherwise, you can get really really ill in the long-run.

That being said, why don't you just get a collonic instead?

I doubt 3 days will make much of a difference.

You need some Colon Blow

Juice counts as food!

Really?
I know a few people that do it (that's where I got the idea from) without any supervision.
They feel great afterwards.

I've read 3 days alone is fine, but anything more than that requires supervision.
And what's this colon thing you speak of?

If you want to cleanse your body, drink lots of prune juice.

How does fasting cleanse the body? You are fvcking up your metabolism and CREATING toxins not purging them...

Man, people believe anything these days...

I don't think fasting helps the body that much (more likely to harm it), but it is importnat to some spiritual practices.

Juice makes you fat w/ all the added surgar. Go buy real fruit and eat it if you want juice.

Just ate. Eating again in 5 more hours. I don't eat breakfast, so I'm food free between 8PM to 1PM everyday.

LOL, what a crock :)

Longest I've gone is around 22 hours, which was the stretch between my last drink and feeling finally good enough the next day to eat something.

Fasting to 'cleanse' the body is total bollocks.

ive gone a week on just water, ham sandwish once a day, and tons of ciggarrettes. i did that for about 5-6 days, and then realized.... i NEEDED food.

i dont even know why i did it, i guess was just curious, i lost 25lbs in the process, VERY unhealthy.

i went from 180 to 155 in one week. :eek:

Oh yeah, all juice is going to do is screw your blood sugar good and proper. I imagine you'd feel quite awful from the constant insulin surges and spiking, plus at the end of three days you'll probably be so voraciously hungry that you'll binge eat. Net results is a castrated metabolism, loss of lean body mass, and nutritional deficiency.

Heh, yeah really. I prefer to get my medical advice from somebody with years of scientific and medical training not from somebody selling crystals and incense, but whatever works for you I guess...

I went almost two weeks after my tonsilectomy before i ingested my first solid food... Up until then, i think i ate jello possibly 2-3 days sporatically. The rest of the time i stuck to water.

Consequently, i lost about 15lbs :D

Heh, I'm surprised there was no mention about finding the 60 lbs of feces in Elvis' colon, which I saw on another website.

Try it, it won't be fun. You can't fix years of bodily abuse in three days of different bodily abuse.
