Keep up the high spirits and keep up the amazing work
28 day water fast beginning midnight 18th May
Day 2
Yaass Completed day 2! Now, comes the most challenging part - Day 3, 4 & 5. Iām really hoping this time around ,I get past this BIG hurdle and complete the fast. Iām feeling positive, Iāll make it this time.
For those who slipped and broke your fast, thatās ok just look forward and move on. This is not a competition; itās our journey of how many times we keep trying despite the many setbacks to get to our goal.
Well done ALL.

Everyone is doing so well. Itās so motivating coming here. Keep it up guys. Donāt give in to instant gratification. Think about the long term goals. Iām half way through day 3. Yesterday I had the mega headache from hell. I had to call it a day unusually early. Packed the lil ones off to bed at 8 and by 9 I was asleep despite the headache then woke up at 2! Just finished homeschooling phew . Fixing some lunch for my imps nowā¦
Headache from afternoon . Finding it difficult to cross day 1
Hang in there⦠It will get betterā¦
Timely reminder, thanksā¦

Happy Fasting All⦠Stay on track, do something else to distract yourself when the voice in the head keep telling to break your fastā¦
I just happened to start a 21 day water fast on Monday myself. Stumbled onto this forum looking for support. I was lost in the internet thinking that everyone knew about the benefits of fasting. I figured everyone did it. As I talk to more and more of my friends and family they all think Im completely mad. Seems that everyone I know believes that one day with out calories equals certain death. I needed to be with people that understand and accept that your mind, body and soul can truly benefit from a prolonged fast. Im so excited to be apart of this community.
Ive IFāed for over a year and OMAD/sober all of 2020. I call my nutrition plan Complex OMAD, not because its difficult to navigate but because if I consume a carb its a complex form of carbohydrate. I canāt live without beans, fruit, sweet potatoes or quinoa. My intention has always been to reduce inflammation and prevent chronic disease through diet/fitness. When I found out about the 21 day water fast I was all in. I thought that eating healthy would lesson the chronic pain, it has, but very little. Im trying this 21-28 day fast to try to reduce this pain even further. Im on day 2 now and feeling strong like most of you here.
Thank you to everyone that found the courage to post on this forum. I took me about 2 hours to write this because I have felt so unworthy of any ones attention. A big part of my journey is to deal with these feelings that have kept me from moving forward in life.
Ill be seeing you.
Awe Iām sorry youāve had a negative experience. But Iām glad you found us. Donāt listen to people. I personally donāt tell them that Iām fasting. The mass is ignorant about diet, lifestyle and fasting. People donāt realise that a major part of their lives is being led by capitalism and consumerism at the expense of their wellbeing and values. Also they apparently havenāt read Dr Fungās Complete Guide to Fasting , which explains the logic and benefits of fasting not only for people in general but also for the diabetic. May ask why youāre fasting?
Thanks for the concern,
My main reason for fasting is healing my self diagnosed leaky gut. I have so many problems in the last couple of years due to alcohol and coffee abuse. I was also a smoker for 15 years. My family has a history of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, ALS, Lymes, and CANCER!!!
I had to watch my father and grandfather melt away from lung cancer. MY aunt from ALS, An uncle from Lymes. Both grandmas from diabetes. I donāt think I know anyone that hasnāt been directly affected by cancer. Im not a hypochondriac but I donāt want anyone to have to watch me slowly degrade into nothing. Especially if I could have prevented it with diet and exercise.
As I dove into the deep end of the benefits of fasting I saw the mental benefits. Clarity, dopamine reset, neuroplasticity, and what it can do for depression. I was 100% sold. I donāt care if it doesnāt work in the end. The mental sacrifice Iām about to accomplish will definitely help with the depression and lack of mental focus. I cant afford a shrink or health insurance for that matter. What I can afford is water and a little pink salt. Ha
