What do you mean by 'fasting'? Are you not going to eat at all for 3 weeks? If so, that's ridiculous. You could literally die if you don't eat for that long, depending on your body weight. |

This is a discussion I am making on fasting. Anything you want to say about it, but mainly I am trying to learn about the different kinds and how to effectively do them. Anyone, whether you know about fasting or not, can join, this is a learning experience. If you don't like the idea of fasting then you can still join and voice your reasons why people shouldn't. If you do, all I ask is you keep it civil, no need to be rude. It doesn't have to be religious, or I'd put this in the religion section. |

If more people actually tried or learned about things before dismissing them, then the world would be a happier, more open minded place.

There are different kinds of fasts. The fasts where you don't eat anything at all usually only last a few days, but mine will be three weeks so I was going to do a fast where I limit myself to only certain things. I was thinking about only drinking liquids maybe. Here is the definition of fasting: |

i don't recommend fasting for the purpose of losing weigh as you'll most likely regain the weight perhaps even more as your metabolism will be slow. i did water fasting for about 5 days to cleanse and heal my body. the first few days were very difficult as your body feels very week. you loss a lot of weight within the first 2 or 3 days, your body feels colder, you feel dizzy at times. by day 4 or 5 my body felt totally cleansed. just remember coming out of a fast is very important. you don't want to say "ok, i'm done with my fast, time to order chinese food," that will kill your stomach. your body has to slowly get use to eating again. for example if your coming off a 3 week water fast you might want to start with eating one piece of fruit for the next few days then by week 2 eating one meal, then 2 meals by week 3, etc. start with natural foods like fruits and vegetables as it will be better for your stomach when coming off a fast. |

I agree with most of what Bro said. I don't "fast" on purpose, but I eat two big meals per day with nothing else; except that in my case I eat about 3,500 - 4,000 calories because my metabolism is super high; I have never been able to gain a pound over 135, and never cared to either. I also do a lot of martial arts, and still struggle to replace the calories that I burn (and get all the vitamins and minerals), but if I eat more than twice per day I feel almost sick; always digesting food. I like the feeling of keeping the tank empty for the best portion of the day, and since I stay up for about 20 hours per day and sleep for 10, it is a long period. |
