Re: Day 7 water-only fasting, exhausted - help?
Great thing you are fasting with water only to help your body and mind. Another great thing is you are 19 and doing fasting.
There are many posts on this forum and books that suggest that during a fast it is essential to rest, keep warm and have no stress. You are not doing all of that.
If I were you, I would take a few days off and get some energy back by resting and then only do desk work. No wonder you are exhusted. You may even harm your body by doing too much strenuous work, 11 hours is a lot of work. If you can telecommute, even better.
Drinking anything other than water will get the digestive system active without food coming in, IMO, a starvation mode. Digestive system is one thing that uses the most energy in your body. Why tax your body at the time of healing?
You definitely do not need to lose weight, do you?
If you must work, brake your fast go on juice fast .
Listen to your body.
