Hi just wanted to drop by and say hi,
It's funny I researched water fasting and can remember finding this thread a couple of years ago, and here it has come up again during my new browsing.
I'm halfway through day one of my water fast now, it's 1PM and I haven't eaten anything since 10PM yesterday evening (I went to bed at about 1am).
I have been unwell past few days which prompted the reevaluation and pushed me into doing the water fast. It's 50/50 for me half my health and half for the mental conditioning and just deeper appreciation of life that I am sure I will get from this.
I'm currently 21stone, my plan is to follow this for 25 days, then start a 500 calorie a day diet. It's extreme but it's about time I did something and the thought of being able to survive for 25 days on nothing but water is a really powerful thought to me. If I do this it will teach me alot about myself and my body.
I gather from other comments that if you revert back to your 'normal diet' after a water fast you gain most of your lost weight back. Which is why I am going to start a VLC diet of 500 calories a day after my initial 25 day fast.
It was great to read this thread again, good luck to anyone else on this journey or thinking of starting it.
Have decided to chart my journey here:
