A 7 day water only fast cured my digestive issue I’d been having the past few years. I’m a trim dude with some muscle and fasting was a great experience physically as well as mentally. I’d recommend it to anyone but I’m sure it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

Fasting has happened for 1000s of years. Our body isn't meant to be a in fed-state all of the time. You're running narratives. Fasting is the best medicine. The only reason they are demonized, is because if everyone fasted, the poor food companies would lose money. Oh, and pharmaceutical companies like to prescribe medications instead of cleaning out your system regularly. Do your research, please. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition...ittent-fasting |

The sceptics are always so focused on telling people they are just fat and lazy. Fasting isn't just about losing weight it has a ton of other benefits. And people who fast from my experience are not overweight in fact the opposite it has become very popular within the fitness industry, making it easy to stay lean and achieve fitness goals. Since fasting I have improved my health suffer less headaches, train better and sleep better. |

I do intermittent fasting myself and have for years. I eat all my calories in an 8 hour window almost every day. I lift weights and maintain a fairly decent physique doing this. Yes there are some health benefits to this as well. I am talking about the benefits of these multi-day fasts and things like like "cleansing" with juice and broth for days. It's reeruned. Your body cleanses itself all the time. You don't need to restrict your diet severely for days on end. That's a fact and not a false narrative. |

I've lost 10 lbs recently by doing the Fit Father's Program. Basically I eat a lot of water. Smoothie around noon, sandwich at 3:00 dinner at 7:00.
I'm addicted to water now. |

I'm stuck at around a 65-70 pound weight loss when I want to loss a total of 90-100. I'm tempted to do another long water only fast to break below a certain weight level.

Which I found surprisingly easy. |
