The post date is actually April,2,2008 so ha you were FOOLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I may not be that old but I have done this before and I lost 20 pounds in like 3 weeks. My mom was like “YOU GONNA DIE!!!!” I didn’t move much I just slept most of the time and played video games. I felt weak and stuff and it turned a young impressionable 13 year-old into a full out bulimic/anorexic…be careful oh! After the first 8 days your desire for food should diminish!

Fasting is also another step of diet. Muslims have season on fasting and they don’t even drink water for the whole day. But they eat after sunset. For Christians,as I’ve known, have also fasting but should avoid eating meat. So, fasting can be effective but you must eat a little protein for your energy. Just try it..and do a lot of experimentation.

I may be wrong but lets looks at some facts. Water fasting has been around for centuries. There are plenty of documented cases of people going 30-40 days on just pure water alone. When the body realizes that it is not getting any food coming in, it will shut down the digestive system (thus eliminating the hunger feeling) and switch to a process called ketosis which will start using mainly fat for fuel, and will conserve muscle. Most people never make it to this state because the “hunger” gets to them and they break the fast. Its a real interesting topic but I wouldn’t recommend doing it for just 2 days. You will mainly just cannibalize muscle and not fat, it is only after the first few days does your body switches to burning fat as its primary fuel, and ONLY if you are doing a water only fast, any caloric intake may throw this process off. (doctor supervision from a fasting specialist is recommender for long fasts)

I like to look at it this way. We forget that we are a part of nature, and nature is programed and designed to return itself to a normal state once the source of the problem have been removed. For instance the earth probably considers humans toxic. We come in, build on her landscape pave roads pollute the air and so on. If we were to become extinct tomorrow in 300 thousand years NYC would look like it did before humans developed it. The earth would return itself to a normal state.

In our bodies most of the processed garbage food we eat is toxic, it is loaded with cancer causing carcinogens that get stored in our fat cells to be activated at a later time. Our digestive system which runs non stop takes up a tremendous amount of energy and our body never has a chance to rest or clean out the damage. Once you stop introducing toxic food and garbage, your body can finally rest and start detoxing itself. It will take 20+ plus days for this to happen completely. You will excrete toxins out of your body in all places, your breath will smell, your tongue will be grimy, your skin oily. (does this sound familiar, it happens when you wake up, usually the only time your body has a chance to start cleaning itself out)

Anyways when the fast is done assuming you were somewhat healthy before with no cancer or anything, your body will be back at a normal state clean and ready to go again. I hope this inspires some people to do the research and take an open mind with it. People fast all the time, your bodies are designed to handle it. What were not designed to do is eat Big Macs and french fries. No wonder we have the highest health care costs and highest obesity and cancer rate in the world. We should all look in the mirror and blame that person for high health care costs, none of us take care of our bodies the way we should, not even me.
