Re: First official water fast; planning for 25-30 days Help needed, opinions welcome


i broke the fast yesterday on the 4th day
i think it was because since i had been drinking juice or flavor watter, the sense of taste never went away,...

well I'm going to start today, but this time only water, i know it might be harder, but hopefully in the long run it will be easier.


Hi Hemmygurl :),

Yes it may seem intuitive to some that taste will make the fast easier, but in reality this turns out not to be the case since it keeps our appetite from going dormant.

some questions

how long does it take to go into ketosis?


This would be worth looking up to veryify, but i believe it is generally after about 30-60 hours... i know it is for me.

and one I'm in ketosis will the cravings go away? there is always great food around the house, sometimes i can't help it.

Ketosis is a powerful appetite suppressant, so there is a good chance it will... but this is not an absolute certainty in every instance.

also should i brush my teeth with toothpaste? i don't want to taste anything, nothing,...

It is recommended that we don't distract our fasting body with any tastes. Even more important is that we not give our stomach chemicals or anything else to digest which would include vitamins, minerals, tea or diet soda.

what do i do about the bad breath and what does the white coating in my tongue mean? it makes the watter taste horrible.

You can only do so much about your breath. The white coating on your tongue is evidence that your body is eliminating toxins through your tongue/mouth along with your skin, kidneys, liver, lungs and colon (am i missing any?). We can brush away a lot of the toxic mouth with water. Also, a byproduct of ketosis is that we exhale acetone (a ketone) and no amount of brushing can change this.

also I'm in Florida for now, can i tan during a fast? i know it sounds stupid i was just wondering.

You can! :). Sunbathing is highly beneficial and one of the healthiest things we can do while fasting along with lots of inactivity.

ill be drinking bottled watter,
i would love to hear from anyone, any opinions, facts, anything.


Distilled water is highly recommended as inorganic minerals found in other types of water are unassimilable to our bodies and are thus treated as waste and only add to our toxic load.

Best wishes for a great fast :).
