Re: Embarking on monthly water fast -support and experiences more than welcome


Ok, so I was very black and white about stating that it will heal Cathy7's condition and that if she supplements she will return to same old habits.

First, if one is fasting on water only should not supplement. The reason for this is very simple. If a body thinks that food is coming in but does not, the stays in mode of digestion and the body stops the process of using fats, tissues, and other junk to convert it into much needed energy. If one is under-feeding with partial foods, which supplementing is, they rapidly go in malnutrition stage and starvation. Another reason is that digestion uses most energy in any of the processes in our body so why would one consume anything while fasting, it defeats the purpose.

Here in an exerpt from Dr. Shelton's book....

It is worthy of note that fasting is usually much easier than restricted diets. The fast produces less discomfort and the fasting patient is often the stronger of the two. Sinclair says that again and again he tried light fruit meals, "but with always the same result: the light meals are just enough to keep me ravenously hungry, and inevitably I found myself eating more and more."

He also says that on the "fruit fasts" he found that he "could live on nothing but fruit for several days, but I would get so weak that I could not stand up--far weaker than I ever have become on an out-and-out fast."

These experiences of Sinclair agree with my own. The fasting patient soon loses all desire for food--the patient eating an eliminating diet does not lose his appetite but does not eat enough to satisfy it; so, he is always hungry. I do not know how to explain why the patient on an eliminating diet is so often weaker than the fasting patient, but it is a fact I frequently observe.

I should have said that fasting is not a cure but mere house cleaning which could help over come bingeing, but taking supplements while fasting will make the body demand more food and will not help with bingeing later on. Sometimes it take two or more fasts to help extreme conditions.

I also said that Cathy7 should talk to a professional knowing her food disorder.

I will check out Dr. Moser.

Thank you for pointing out my error, but I don't intend to lead or set up any one for failure. My intentions are to help.

Peace.
