A water fast is where you drink only water (distilled for me) and eat NOTHING. It is a practice that has been performed for thousands of years and I believe extremely helpful towards healing. The idea is that when we eat our digestive system takes up an enormous amount of our bodies total energy needs. By stopping eating the body now has time to use that unused energy towards "cleaning house" essentially. Many people have used water fasting to cure all kinds of ailments and DIS - EASES.
You can also see the blotches of psoriasis on my legs, back and stomach, I am hoping this water fast will rid myself of them completely....
I posted back in January of this year when I did a 31 day water fast, I ended up getting very sick from the effects of detox and had to stop, I had planned on going for 40 days. My weight when I started the water fast was 215 lbs and when I ended was 170 lbs. I am starting this water fast at 168 1/2 lbs and hope to get down to 148 or so depending upon how skinny I get (I am 5 ft 11 inches). My weight is one large reason I am doing this water fast but the other major reason is to hopefully get closer to ridding myself of psoriasis.
I put the video below in this post because even though I do not agree with all of "snake diet" thoughts, I do agree water fasting is EASY , EFFECTIVE and HEALTHY. He is a very good motivator and says lots that I do agree with so check him out if you do not mind PROFANITY, because he seems to love the F word haha. I'll make a post after I am done with after pics!
