I just broke a 5 and a half day water only fast. Wow. What an experience. I’ll definetly be doing more of them in the future.
that is amazing! come online sometime soon so we can talk about it. Im going to Ireland on Wedenesday for a week and I have a lot to tell you about Amsterdam.
woah. That’s intense. How did you… umm… not die? I thought you could only go for, like four days without food… obviously I thought wrong.
It’s a common misconseption.
In fact a lot of people fast for 30 or more days.
It’s all in the mind. I did it because I was eating when I was bored, or depressed or whatever. It helped sever emotional ties to eating.
Remember, the Atkins diet is the same thing as fasting; your body just goes into ketosis.
I’ll be fasting again in the future, for longer, hopefully.
Were you at all trying to lose weight, or was it for principle/spiritual/experimental reasons?
No weight loss was intended, however I did manage to lose a few pounds of excess fat.
No, my primary goals were physical rejuvination, spiritual growth, and severence from my prior eating habits (ie emotional eating).
