I completed a 3 day water fast followed by a 7 day juice fast about two weeks ago.

My experince is was the following :

I would not suggest to much excercise during the water fast as you are not putting any energy back into your body. On the second and third night of my water fast I was extremely tired and had to go to bed earlier.

During my juice fast I never had any headache's or other negative side effects. (I stopped drinking coffee three days before, used to drink about 7 cups a day). I slept between 5 and 6 hours during my juice fast.

The best advice I can give to anyone doing 10 day fasts is to follow the eating guidelines when going off the fast. I thought I was brave and started eating a lot more than suggested and had an upset stomach for the next week.

In total I lost 11kg (24 pounds) during my fast.

Currently I am following a Raw fruit diet and started running.It has been 2 weeks since the fast and my weight is remaining the same.
