A Former NFL Player Went On A 40-Day Water Fast, Lost 100 Pounds

[Pack Rat]

Last week, I fasted for 4 days...just water....some diet soda.. ...day 1 was hard....day 2 was easy....day 3 was ok......last day was hard.....when I got on the scale I lost 10 pounds.
the following week following my diet, I added 6 pounds back....that sucked.....but now Im averaging losing 2 pounds a week, no exercise. 1300-calorie diet.

I couldn't keep food down today. Stress and the Georgia heat. Gonna fast through the holiday and see how I feel.

Water and vitamins. Maybe soup but nothing solid. Body is making the call for me. Sucks cause I had a nice cookout planned.

You don't have to fast
Just cut out the bs
No fast food
No soda or juice
Drink only water
Have some fruit for lunch
Chicken and veggies for dinner
And walk for 30 min
You will lose weight

Some benefits most don't know, my half way gray hair went back to black, gained length and girth due to more blood flow, no more sinus problems , better gastrointestinal operation , skin looks healthier, finger and toenails needs cutting once a week

How long did you fast?

Hold up, this is all from doing the water fasting diet? Or did you do an all-plant diet? Shit, I wanna reverse my little gray beard hairs.

The gray hair claim is intriguing.

- Enemas (coffee enemas make you feel brand new during fast)

A coffee enema involves injecting room temperature coffee into the rectum. There is little evidence to support the use of coffee enemas, and they may be dangerous.

I didn’t know it was supposed to be room temperature. Had me using a colostomy bag for a month!

Man I was hurt. Stayed in bed all day. I'm starting anew today.

All I've ingested today is organic beef broth, water/metamucil, 2 apples, broccoli, and a multivitamin and vitamin C pill.

Dinner will be beans, maybe some carrots mixed in and more broccoli or spinach with onions.

Gonna eat like that til Saturday and see how I feel.

I have a co-worker who did this for a month and lost 40 pounds...

Did he look emaciated?

Just looked skinny in the face....

Yep he actually got lucky there. You could really screw up your body chemistry from doing that but he got lucky. If you have any vitamin deficiencies, do not do this 40 day thing.

he didnt really if you speak to your doctor regularly and get the right vitamines u good.

Yeah, that was the point of my reply. Even then this is still a little dangerous.

The scientific research is still ongoing and there pro & con viewpoints and yes if done incorrectly they can be dangerous.

Enemas have been used as a healing modality since ancient times. Hospitals still use them today. In the past, it was standard procedure in hospitals.

Coffee enemas are used in cancer treatment (gerson therapy).

A brother who had cancer convinced me to try it. He did a 30 day fast. He looked brand new, cancer was gone. I asked him how he was able to go so long...he used coffee enemas to help his body cleanse otherwise the healing reaction can be too much:
Hunger and cravings.
Headaches and lightheadedness. ...
Digestive issues. ...
Irritability and other mood changes. ...
Fatigue and low energy. ...
Bad breath. ...
Sleep disturbances. ...
Dehydration.

I'm the type that would rather die from prostrate cancer than have a doctor stick their finger in my ass. So this was not an easy decision for me.I not just reading off Google AI. This is experiential. I actually experience the effect of coffee enema when I could not take a fast no longer. The relief I felt, especially the next day, allowed me to continue for much longer. The longest I go is two weeks. I fast three/four times a year (with the seasons).

I am a licensed bodywork therapist who has had to study anatomy, physiology & pathology in the past. Now I am studying to become Physical Therapist and I have had to take anatomy, physiology & pathology again as requisites along with biology, chemistry, physic, kinesiology, etc. In short, I'm not just speculating & being opinionated. I am also well aware of the limitation of our healthcare system based on profit & treating symptoms. I recommend that you read & research as much as you can before doing a fast & using coffee enemas.
