[Drunk With Hate]

So, for the next 5 days all I am going to drink is water and I will not be eating anything. Let's see how this goes! Anybody with me?

[Zander]

good luck keeping whatever muscle tone you have.

I am so not in! My matabulism is so bad right now. I can some how probably eat 2 24 ounce steaks and not even be closed to fool. I already know that for a fact. Good thing I did because I got a free dinner:)

How about not drinking water for 5 days?

I'm with ya!

If you just drink water, and keep doing your normal activities, how much weight will one lose in those 5 days o_O

I'm going on a cruise in december and gotta get a 6 pack before it.... not going well right now, but it'll come.. :p

don't go on a liquid diet if you're trying to gain muscle..that should be common sense phool

[Tama Drummer]

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure water fasting isn't going to help you get a six pack.

Sit-ups, push-ups, and 6-inches off the ground should help.

You should've done that 5 days before Halloween, have you going as a skeleton.... Or Lindsay Lohan. >_>

[Daemon Bloodmaw]

Detox.

You do a fast first to detox, either with fruit juice, vegetable juice, or water. Some people only eat fruit and drink those fluids, some only drink the fluids.

Cleans your system out the longer you do it.

Depending on how you do it, your body won't lose too much muscle, and you'll feel much more energized after.

I did a 5 day fruit & water fast once, felt great afterwards. Was pretty lean.

I should do it again soon, just to clean out all the candy I've aten

[stinkydog]

sex....LOTS AND LOTS of sex...best 6 pack i ever had when I had a girlfriend ;)

[Drunk With Hate]

good luck keeping whatever muscle tone you have.

Water fasting for short quick durations shouldn't hurt you. Obviously you'll be more fatigured and all that. I doubt it'll hurt me anything further than that. We'll see though, I'll keep you updated.

*Waits for answer*

Isn't it amazing how until I answer.. you're wating for an answer.

Why?

Test of endurance, amoung other things.

You'll loose alot of fat, if that is what you're asking. Once you're done loosing fat though, as they said, you'll loose muscle. I'm pretty sure 5 days is good for me.

[Kreator]

Good luck. You should try mixing something with the water, like mercury, so you don't die or something. ;)

[Hellblazer]

When you get denied by the Guiness Book, you can cry to Jehut. I don't know why, but you can.

Hey ya know what else is a good test of endurance? Seeing how many amps of electricity you can take, or stabbing yourself in a non-vital place and seeing how long it takes before the hemoraging makes you pass out. Hey another good test of endurance is holding your breath under water until you pass out.

...oh, but those things are stupid and pointless... :rolleyes:

I would if I was a fat man. Though i'm already skinny enough. I'm 12 years old and I'm 90 pounds. Don't make fun of me :P

I will join you!


Seriously, I am. But I want to have the odd celary stick.

I don't think I can last 5 days, maybe 3.

Ohwell, I will start tomorrow!

:bigsmile:

[BigMan9878]

When i was twelve, i was about 75 lbs, i was anorex then, im fifteen now, and im about 134

[Daemon Bloodmaw]

Heh, I'd be with you in a fruit fast but eh, not right now. I like to start on a Sunday or so, skip through right to Friday & Saturday in case I have a date, break my fast then.

:cool:

[uniquinous]

It's very different. This isn't harmful.

Oh well in that case there are a ton of things you can do to test your endurance! Like seeing how long you can play tiddly-winks successfully for; or seeing how long you can ballance a poodle on your nose, or seeing how far you can run/skip/spin; or entering a dance-off; or how many 10 lb weights you can juggle; or eating nothing but peanut butter for a year; or never talking.

My bad.

[Drunk With Hate]

Oh sorry. For some reason I thought we were on the whole "Gonna be really bad for you" deal.

My bad.

yea, no.. but was there like an ep of his show that was about all-water diets or something close to that? or are you just talking in general

im pretty sure this isnt bad for me

[ko71991]

Ok. Well I am kinda curious too, you know, just in case I was ever faced ith a scenario where there was nothing else but water, you never know, so let us know how that goes.

[Drunk With Hate]

Will do :) Starts midnight tonight.

[ko71991]

I just realized I sounded kinda sarcastic.. But no.

[Jeffery]

Water fasts done over certain periods of time are not bad for your health. It is often thought to help "cleanse" the system.

The problem you may run into has to do with what your average caloric intake is normally. Dropping it to 0 if it is used to be much higher can trigger some nasty feeling side effects. You'll notice by day three that the "hunger pains" seem to be wanting to kill you. After that they go away for a while.

One thing you do want to avoid during this is any strenuous activities.

[ko71991]

Also, doesn't this mean you taking a wee-wee ever 5 minutes?

[Drunk With Hate]

Well, my usual calorie intake varies alot (probably from 0 to 4000, lol). Usually when I do this I quit by day three. I'll be sure to go the distance this time. I'll definitly take that strenious activity thing in mind, especially when working on my car. Manually removing tires is pretty strenious.

Also, doesn't this mean you taking a wee-wee ever 5 minutes?

YES! lol

[ko71991]

Yeah see, I've only had 3 glasses of water the past hour and I'm already sitting with my laptop next to the bathroom.

[Drunk With Hate]

lol, I'm thinking I'm gonna do 140oz of water a day. It's alot but I won't have a problem with it. Just the potty breaks.

[Ignition]

Getting hungry yet?

[Drunk With Hate]

lol, well today was my prep day. I drank water for the first half of the day and then ate a good meal. Midnight marks the start of the real fast.

[Ignition]

Well good luck as of 10min ago. I hope your not going to be doing any extreme driving while trying to surpres hunger pains

[uniquinous]

For some reaosn I just see more benefit of fasting one day and drinking a TON of water rather then fasting for 5 days on the same amount of water spread out....

The body starts using other fuel sources to power the brain after a couple days...

[Jeffery]

One day is not long enough for the body to run through a few cycles and get rid of toxins.
And yes, the body does turn to itself in order to find that fuel. And fat is one of the first sources targeted.

[uniquinous]

what kinda toxins we talkin bout zactly?

cuz proof of smoking too much weed won't leave your hair with just water ;)

[Bobcat]

When I am in a play Diablo weekend, I pretty much only drink water for 2 days. I simply don't feel hungry, and don't feel like going out to eat.

[Drunk With Hate]

what kinda toxins we talkin bout zactly?

cuz proof of smoking too much weed won't leave your hair with just water ;)

Just so you know, that last sentance was misworded. You said "Proof of smoking too much weed will not leave your hair with water." Take out the words "your hair" and it makes much more sense.


Anyway, I have nothing like that to hide. We're talking general toxins here, uniq. The things that every human in the world has. Didn't you know this?

[Ignition]

I'll agre with uni here this once. One or 2 days will probably do more good then a full week of it.

Oh I understand what you're getting at - but do you know what "toxins" you will be removing? No cheating now - no google - do you know?

[Pieface1337]

Its been half a day for me so far. No food, just water.

..I started chewing my hand.

I really doubt I can make it even a FULL day.

[uniquinous]

but at least you stopped your awful gas for one day :p

[Drunk With Hate]

Oh I understand what you're getting at - but do you know what "toxins" you will be removing? No cheating now - no google - do you know?

Not a clue.

[uniquinous]

Not a clue.

so erm... the entire reason you are doing this is... to test your endurance...

and you have no idea what the benefits or harms of it actually are? :huh:

Back in the day, on Animaniacs, there was a clip called "Good idea, Bad idea". Anyone ever see this? I always thought the useless stupid things the little stickman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Skullhead) did were hilarious! :)

[Pieface1337]

I gave up.

I had to eat.

[Punishment]

I'm at about 16-17 hours without food right now.

I want to see if i can go a whole five days. I doubt it, I want a quad stacker about now :(

Lol.

[Daemon Bloodmaw]

Lol, like I said guys. Do a fruit fast first, it's much easier.

Your body builds up toxins from all the sugar, processed crap, and other things your body eats that it isn't built to. There are tons of articles on it, just do a google search on water fasting or fruit fasting.

A 5 day water fast? No thanks. Maybe a 2-3 day as a test of mental strength, but no way for 5. Fruit fast is a good way to do it.

Especially if you're acclimated to junk food. Going cold turkey off junk food is one thing, but dropping straight from junk food to water isn't an easy feat. Not to mention, eating junk food after all would be a waste of your time. Trust me on this, after eating healthy for wrestling for 3 months straight (I had a handful of sweets the entire time, no pizza or fast food) and then doing a 5 day fruit fast, eating pizza destroyed my system.

Yes, you can go it. Because Emma Watson want you to do it.

I seriously double fasting is good for our body. Doesn't the Muslims fast for a month every year?

[Anarchy_United]

Upon reading this thread for the first time, I went into my kitchen, opened my fridge, pulled out a soda, got a preztal, and ate them both.

[Punishment]

Bobcat, They can't eat during the time the sun is up or something, though they can eat in the morning and at night.

For emma, I'll do this! lol.

I saw you mention that, thats what I am doing now.

I gave up with the only water for 5 days.

Woohoo, eating a stick of celary.

[Jeffery]

Yes, you can go it. Because Emma Watson want you to do it.

I seriously double fasting is good for our body. Doesn't the Muslims fast for a month every year?
Muslims fast for the holy month of Ramadan. From sunrise to sunset they may not eat OR DRINK anything at all.
The only exceptions are for the very young, very old, and the disabled.

At sunset many break fast by attending a feast or dinner held at local houses or Mosques.

The actual fast depends on the lunar cycle, so what month it is changes constantly. It slides forward by a couple of weeks every year, and lasts for around a monthish.

[Bobcat]

No water in the blistering heat?! I doubt how they can survive dehydration.
I was just reading an article about woman soldier died from dehydration to avoid from being raped...

[Bobcat]

A better way to test endurance is to see how long you can run without stopping. Or better, how long you can stay in a busy street naked.;)

Whereas only drinking water is a test of mental and physical endurance and those are one or the other.

[Bobcat]

Drinking water is a passive endurance. You can always watch TV or sleep to take your mind off the situation; while running is an active test of mental power.

Uhm.. I disagree. You can't take your mind off being hungry. That is why they tell you to eat breakfast to function well during the day. That is why meds like adderall and ritalin have the side effect of taking away hunger - in turn helping even more concentration.

[Daemon Bloodmaw]

If you'd all read my posts or the articles I link, you'd see the advantages of fasting :mad:

Putting my money where my mouth is.

3-day fruit fast.

Ending Friday because I might be going out for dinner & a movie, if not, I'll go 'til Sunday, complete the full 5 day cycle.

[stinkydog]

yeah, daemon, read the article, great insight. Drunk, gl with the fasting, just make sure not to overhydrate yourself, that could cause problems (overcleansing, not too sure where i heard it from, but I'm sure it is bad for you). Also, if you are trying to lose weight, won't your body retain water weight for a period of time?

[uniquinous]

http://www.freedomyou.com/fasting_book/detoxification.htm

Good read.Actually that's a horrible read, although the part where he gets into Jesus and religious BS is slightly amusing. Don't confuse science with faith. But honestly, let's look at this article. What "toxins" are removed from the body specifically? Where is it stored? The author gives a lot of vague directions but never says anything really. Let's look at the list he specifically cites as to what toxins are removed:

Ø Dead, dying or diseased cells - this happens every day regardless of fasting

Ø Unwanted fatty tissue - yes, because you're not eating, and still using energy. A much better way of accomplishing this is simply getting off your ass and going for a jog/walk/secks.

Ø Trans-fatty acids - same as above

Ø Hardened coating of mucus on the intestinal wall - BS. Water fasting will help sweep out mucus, this is true, but so will eating, and there isn't some old hardened mucus lining your intestines normally. Honestly... feel your abdomen. You feel hardened tubes of mucus in there normally? If so, see a doctor immediately.

Ø Toxic waste matter in the lymphatic system and bloodstream - I like how under the "toxins eliminated" section he lists "toxins" as an answer. What toxins?! The spleen and liver already filter the bloodstream. Is he expecting people to believe there are weird chemicals stuck within hemoglobin? What toxins is he talking about?

Ø Toxins in the spleen, liver, and kidneys - again, which toxins would those be? :huh:

Ø Mucus from the lungs and sinuses - back to the mucus. Ya know, mucus is a pretty good thing. It is our first defense and covers all mucosal membranes in the body. It's true tho - dehydration will lessen mucus production, cuz you got less fluid to work with!

Ø Imbedded toxins in the cellular fibers and deeper organ tissues - yet again, what toxins? What "deeper organ tissues" are we talking about?

Ø Deposits in the microscopic tubes responsible for nourishing brain cells - microscopic tubes, eh? Not too many "toxins" get to the brain, especially the larger chemicals people may encounter. This phenomena is better known as the blood-brain barrier.

Ø Excess cholesterol - this one is true. If the body doesn't have an intake of cholesterol to make things, it will just start breaking down its own cholesterol. However, there are many ways to accomplish this same result. For example, have a cholesterol free diet.

This is junk science. Unfounded. His last stated benefit is "gives the digestive system a rest". Our organs were designed to not need to rest. This is why we don't need to give the heart muscles a rest.

Correct.How often do you do things without knowing the benefit or harm? And why is it you still haven't caught on why people call you a moron sometimes? :huh:

Whereas only drinking water is a test of mental and physical endurance and those are one or the other.So run naked - solves that problem :p

[Drunk With Hate]

yeah, daemon, read the article, great insight.

Also, if you are trying to lose weight, won't your body retain water weight for a period of time?

I don't need to loose weight, but yea.. I'll probably gain weight from this for a short period.

but.. the heart... dies?

I do things often without knowing anything. Really, it may hurt and it may help. I don't care. It'll do something and it sounds fun.

So run naked - solves that problem :p
That is another possibility.

[Daemon Bloodmaw]

I go by how I feel in this case. Not going to bother debating because you won't change my mind. I ignored the faith aspects of the article by the way. I've read a good number of sources that recommend it, sources I trust. So I'll keep on keeping on. :)

I felt stronger last time, my body will let me know how it's doing. Last time, fat pretty much melted off in five days on the fruit bit. Considering I don't have much, I was impressed.

In other news, my mom made one of my favorite dishes tonight forgetting I just started this whole shebang.

I'm out :p

Good news is, I'm still healthy and lean as hell. Stocked up on fruit for breakfast too, so I'll be returning to a more balanced diet than I've been on. One good perk.

[Drunk With Hate]

I'm restarting midnight tonight. Without really realizing it, I cheated the first two days. I was taking adderall I had scored from my friend.. and then I realized.. wtf is a test of endurance if I'm not enduring anything - such as hunger.

[Daemon Bloodmaw]

That is a good point by DWH. Fasting is a big test of your own mental strength.

Religious strength, mental strength, physical strength, whatever you're testing. We don't berate you for your silly little habits, whatever they might be :p

[Drunk With Hate]

Thanks :)

Considering I don't have much, I was impressed.The entire article is faith. There's not a scrap of science in it. It's not unusual for the placebo effect or a number of other things that can make people feel better. Whatever the reason, I'm glad that is the final effect for you. I'm not going to try to change your mind as to whether it works for you, but I will try to change your mind as far as the "science" behind that article goes - it's false.

EDIT: dirka you're not just a dirtbag when you're off drugs (or perhaps on a water diet). Either way, if you keep this up I might have to start liking you. ;)

[Daemon Bloodmaw]

So it's a bad article. It was easy to find on google.

Give me some time and maybe I'll find another one :p

It's got nothing to do with faith for me though

[mushroom_girl]

If you're going to go on a liquid fast, try the drink Naked.

It's 100% pure juice from Whole Foods, so it's organic with no chemicals or crap in it. And it tastes good! I used to drink it in the mornings and throughout the day when I got hungry so I wouldn't eat food between meals. I lost a good amount of weight. Only problem is that it's about $3.50 a single bottle, but you can get bigger containers for a decent price. So make sure you've got money before you go out and buy some.

Also, drink some pomegranite juice. That will help cleanse the system faster.

[uniquinous]

It's got nothing to do with faith for me thoughYou'd be surprised. People who think they are getting certain treatments *feel* the treatment whether they get it or not. Also, there's something to be said from on/off routines. For example, if you got a massage every day, and then suddenly you got nothing for two weeks, when you get that same massage at the end of the two week massage-fast (:p) that massage is gonna feel better then any other before it. Similarly, if you starve your body from the foods and energy it needs, when you finally give it those nutrients and energy, it's gonna *feel* amazing, compared to the state of lacking those things. Just my idea. Either way, if it makes you happy and feel good (and it's safe) - have fun.

If you're going to go on a liquid fast, try the drink Naked.I already told them to try running naked! :p

[mushroom_girl]

I already told them to try running naked! :p

OMG! It can be like a Naked-themed fasting-party! :D

[endless]

Wha?

...

Where?!

[Ignition]

Someting about fast naked people...

[uniquinous]

my college had nighttime (and sometimes daytime) naked running parties. As in, a group from the men's track team, or the women's track team would just go running. Not streaking across a lawn and then putting their clothes back on. As in, going for a run, in just socks and sneakers.

oh american liberal arts schools...

[Ignition]

Woopie I'm in an art shcool we dont get any cool stuff like that. I'd tottaly go.

[Lonely Tylenol]

the women's track team

Give me a moment to reflect on that thought please.

Okay, done.

[PSP Lover]

Cool. I fasted about 2 weeks ago, but just for one day. I really didn't like it.
