   Oh wow if you’re going to do this for losing weight then I don’t know what’s the point. You will lose weight, though I don’t know how much.

   In a water fast, you’re going to rely more on saccharine sugar sweet drinks for energy (i.e. GLUCOSE, which is your body’s staple food). But in the long run, if you have too much glucose in your body, it will be stored in your liver and if you don’t use it up in time, it will turn into fats and in turn cause you to be fat.

   This is in the long run. If you do it for 1 or 2 days is fine but for a full week, there really is no point.

   You’ll also realise that your face may end up more bloated than usual because of the higher water content in your body.

   dont listen to anyone that says you shouldn’t do it. unless you have some medical condition you should try. the thing is you’ll probably gain all the weight back after wards that’s true. if your gonna do it i recommend do it for 10 days no more no less. 10 days is the full detoxification has been done. you’ll crave food like crazy you have to keep yourself busy. i only did it for like a day and a half cause my parents were catching on and about a week before that i was eating less to get myself ready. it does work but all the weight i lost i gained back. i can still tell you to drink and drink and drink water. if you dont feel like you need to drink water drink it. keep a bottle of water with you 24/7. its hard as hell but you can do it. get out of the house away from the kitchen and go somewhere where theres no food. you’ll get hunger pains and bad cramps.

   Interesting.

   I’ll share some of my own experiences of when I first tried a water fast.

   I got the little book "The Essene Gospel of Peace" Book I

   Reading it will motivate you. I’ll provide a link below.

   And I mis read it, thinking that I was supposed to drink only water.

   I was fresh off the Boxing Team in Europe and in great shape.

   In my first 5 days, I lost I forget how much weight but it was a LOT, and was so weak, in order to get across my room to get a book to read, I had to "drool off of the side of the bed", and crawl the length of the floor, to get my book.

   That was my first water fast.

   Later I moved into doing fresh fruit and vegetable juice fasts, and my last 3 fasts were for 39 days each, except for the last 7 days, which was according to the little book ( the only TRUE FAST I’ve ever studied, and I believe it’s the same fast Jesus did for 40 days and 40 nights ) which is nothing through the mouth for a minimum of 7 days ( you do enemas so you keep detoxing ).

   On a juice fast I’ll lose about 1 lb a day.

   Speaking of enemas, don’t even try a fast without doing at least 1 enema each day. I once knew a guy in Hawaii who was going to do an 8 day coconut milk fast. I asked him if he was going to do enemas, and he said "No." that he didn’t believe in that stuff. I warned him, but he didn’t listen. In 8 days the wrinkles in his face were so deep it was alarming ( a fast RELEASES the toxins in your body – if you don’t get these toxins OUT of your body they will only re circulate and STAY in the body, causing pain, misery and suffering . . . and make you look OLD.

   When I was in my 40s, and wanted to drop some weight to impress my girlfriend ( in her 20s ), I did a 39 day juice fast and went from 210 down to about 170. I know that sounds like a midlife crisis, but honestly, she called and asked me out first.
