Fasting? Have you ever tried? What’s the longest you’ve gone without food?

I do an 80 hour fast/cleanse three times a year. I always start the day of my dentist visit, love having the dentist clean feeling for days! Any longer I've read that the body starts attacking/eating muscles to support the vital organs. Anyhow on day one I drink hot lemon water, (stopped eating the night before) and that makes me almost shit in my pants! It goes right through me. After the first morning it's just water and that's it.

From my limited reading..... Fasting is Great, but one size doesn't fit all.. I wish there was an age chart with other things you could check off to get an optimal fasting time... The book I read even suggested only 12 hours, but that was one person's opinion in a very serious health condition..

Wonder if taking charcoal tabs during fasting can help enhance the detoxification process. Seems logical. Emergency rooms keep these on hand to detoxify those with alcohol poisoning.

You wouldn't need that cause the stomach is empty anyways.

Right next to fasting, is limited eating and only certain foods.... Fruits veggies and nuts high on the list..Again, we could use a chart -with lots of info..

Met a girl recently who was doing a 30 day fruit and vegetable only fast. She said she was a little tired but felt fantastic and light. I think that is too long to go without protein though.

Exactly once again proving my point for a chart with age weight etc...

Taking calm you can get it at super supplements is a magnesium powder you put in the water. You will be on the toilet all day. Clean you out real good.
