Fasting

Recommended Posts

How long is the longest you've fasted? Have you fasted from all foods and liquids or water only or what?

My mom fasts for spiritual purposes for days at a time....but mine is for medical reasons/absolute necessity......:S

Longest - 1 day...but that's just 'cause I had to do blood work the next day. I never intentionally fast unless I'm sick or required by the doc.
Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

I prefer 'slowing'. :)
The longest I have fasted, water only, is 3 days. It was to try to get my insides back on track and working better.

It worked, but good LORDY was it a nightmare. :( And it took me several tries to make it through the third day.

I do limited fasting during Lent, (I totally blew it this year though and I feel terrible. B|B|B|) not meats on Fridays, etc...

Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

I've heard that extreme fasting causes hallucinations:S

If I go to bed hungry because I didn't eat that day, when I wake up I will not ever be hungry again. As soon as I eat something, though, hunger falls right back into place.

Longest I've gone was probably 5 or 6 days after I got food poisoning somehow. Only thing I had was water, and had to struggle to keep it down or in.

Besides sickness, I've gone 2 or 3 days several times before, especially during college, because I'd be so busy that I'd go to bed hungry like I mentioned earlier, then not eat the next day or two because I never got hungry and stayed so busy I didn't think about eating.

19 days, water only... My homeopath convinced me to add one teaspoon of olive oil per day after about a week. Amazing how powerful that teaspoon full of oil was.
What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy
ones? -- Monday.
