I wanted to try this water fast because I felt fatigued, stiff, and foggy headed. I wanted a better quality of life and feeling tired and sick all the time really sucks. I am a strong believer in all kinds of fasting, sometimes cutting things out of your life, or substaning from them can really benefit your health. Drinking only water was a never ending mental challenge for me.
Replace all beverages in your life with water is no easy task because almost everything beside water has caffeine, or sugar, both are addictive. Sugar and caffine are also diuretics which dehydrate you by expelling water from you're body, along with sodium which helps you retain water. My attempt at this water fast lasted 23 days. In my experience the first week was the hardest I craved coffee, pop, tea, juice, and alcohol lol. I wanted anything after the first day but water, and had a head ache most days out of this week. I notice how big of a vice sugar, and caffeine are. After about a week I start drinking more water without even trying. Drinking water became a routine, and I notice a difference revitivly fast. After the first week, water even tasted better, and really quenched my thirst. I had more energy, clearer thoughts, my appetite was better, my muscles were not as stiff, I felt stronger, and my skin was clearer an healthier looking than it has ever been.
The best time to drink water is first thing in the morning, consuming 8 to 16 ounces on an empty stomach. This will boost your energy from my experience, and doctor say it also flushes more toxins out of your body better, and speeds up your metabolism. Drinking 5 to 8 glasses of of water through out the day is also recommended to stay hydrated, and receive the full benefits. A glass of water before bed time can reduce the chance of heart attack and keep your metabolism boosted. Drinking more water can help you lose weight without having to change you're eating habits to see some results. Water is are life blood are line to life, the body consists of 70% of it, and most of us do not drink enough on a daily basis. I hope you try this especially if want to feel all around healthier.
