Hi,
I was just over in the fasting for weightloss forums and someone asked if Water Fasting had a bad effect on the heart.
The reply given was that after 3 days of fasting without supervision, you could have heart failure.
Is this true?
I would like to know how many people think this is true and what are the opinions everyone.
I really just want to see how many people are on the same page.
I am Water Fasting for 10 days and don't want to have heart failure if my potassium is too low. I have fasted before, but have stopped after 5 days, both times because my heart starts to race. And not just fast either, I didn't workout, I just woke up maybe 45 minutes prior and took my pulse because I could feel it and it was 105 bpm.
Does this make sense to anyone?
Please reply to me as I would like to do this for health purposes.
Thanks so much in advance,
Kelli :)

This is a reply to # 688,387I just completed a 27 day water only fast. I am alive and did not go into heart failure.
That being said my mother who is a nurse was VERY concerned about my heart. She kept saying that if I kept fasting that I would die of a heart attack. I don't know how true that possibility was, but in doing my own research I found some interesting facts about muscle loss.
Basically without looking up the information again to give you specifics, the most muscle that you lose is in the first few days. Then it really isn't that much after that.
I found the response I gave someone else who asked about that:

If you have a heart condition I would suggest talking to a doctor that knows about fasting.
I did have some interesting swelling and palpatations after I went off of my fast, but it went away after a few days. Besides I did a really long fast too.
Maybe a juice fast would be better for you to start with?
Good luck and I hope this was helpful info.

This is a reply to # 688,387Its really fairly rare for Water Fasting to affect your heart because of potassium depletion, however, it can happen. If you feel you must fast, then it is vital that you monitor yourself closely. A shorter than planned fast is much better than heart failure. Perhaps you would be better off doing more frequent short fasts and eating a clean healthy Diet in between. If you do have a potassium deficiency, then the raw fruits and veggies of a cleansing diet would benefit you. You might also want to consider adding 1 tablespoon of raw apple cider vinegar to a glass of water once or twice a day, cider vinegar is full of potassium and other healthful minerals.

This is a reply to # 688,390Nice to see your name back on the board.
I've not been feeling well, and as far as I can tell conventional medicine has nothing to offer me for my back, leg, HBP or hepatitis c.
I'm concentrating on getting healed as much as possible using Eat to Live. When I hit my goal weight, then I will reevaluate and see what I need. I'm in touch with Goldhamer and True North and he says if I get my weight all the way down to goal (which is lower than standard weight tables) then we can determine if I need a fast. He says the lower my weight the easier the fast will be on me. I guess I would go into his clinic and do it right and be under the care of the M.D. there to withdraw me from any drugs I still might be on.
I'm more and more convinced that to fast without having reached one's goal weight through proper diet is far less valuable. It's tough and I've got some pounds to go. Eating a lot of blended salads, fruit smoothies, and beans. It can get boring, but the weight does come off.
Hope all is going well with you. I've seen a few weird things and conclusions on this board but just don't have the will or time to respond. Thinking a Furhman type board with emphasis on diet and fasting might be valuable, but I don't have the initiative to put it together.
Prayers and blessings, Mike
P.S. My 19 yo daughter Natalie is having a rough time--Any prayer for her is appreciated.

Google AdvertisementThis is a reply to # 688,387I have never heard of heart failure due to water fasting. However I only fast 7-10 days on water. This maybe possible on a very long fast, I am not sure. I think the odds of it are probaly very slim.(like getting struck by lighting) but I am no doctor this is only my opinion.

This is a reply to # 688,387Hi Kelli! I'm not that experienced with water fasting, so maybe others will have some more advice for you...about someone dieing in 3 days while water fasting...I don't know, but it surprises me. Three days is a very short fast...I think I recall Joel Fuhrman (Fasting and Eating for Health), saying that almost anyone is safe to fast for 3 days.
Just listen to your body for what you want to do with the fast. If it's frightening to you, then you can stop, there's no hurry, you can always do it again soon. It's very hard to know what to do sometimes...but you'll be okay whichever you decide, and the fasting you're doing is helping your body. Congratulations!

This is a reply to # 688,394Thanks for the encouragement.........
I don't have heart problems, but needed to hear it from many people first.
I have stretched out my Water Fast and throughout the course of my hubby's hours at work (we own a restaurant), I plan on staying on and fighting every last whim.
I have done 2 5 days fasts with great results and eating mindfully inbetween. I am happy for that part too. I thought I would pile my head in a big whopping bowl of shrip and lobster, didn't happen. I only wanted good things, like my bidy was screaming out for them. Yay!!
I will take it one day at a time and see what will come from it.
I have never heard of anyone having heart failure either to this matter, but that doesn't mean that I won't take that in consideration.
I will have my raw apple cider vinegar, I had no idea that it was loaded with potassium. Now I do, thanks a lot you all for helping me with this.
It's funny how little household products can make you feel better. lol. :)
Anyways,
Thanks so much for all of your support and opinions through this.
Warmest Regards,
Kelli :)
