Hate to resurrect an old thread but I’m pretty sure Enagic is only MLM in the US. It’s not so expensive here in Japan. I suppose it’s because they have to compete with Panasonic/Sharp/Hitachi, all of which have their own versions and some even with more plates and better results.   [End]

Really that was what my fast was about. Fasting and prayer. Some of those items like beets are harder to come by here in Japan. But I’ll dig around and see what comes up. I need to come up with a high protein juice. One that’s conducive to muscle growth without packing on all the fat. I’m hoping the yogurt would be good source of protein without bogging me down too much. What do you think PineappleHead?   [End]

I didn’t really think about taking electrolytes through the skin. I just added a teaspoon of pink himalayan salt over two or three days, then just a pinch as I felt I needed it. I went from about 240 to 170 which is roughly 70lbs. Since the week I’ve been refeeding I’ve already gained 10ish lbs back. I’m trying to bulk up on the muscle so I’ve been adding yogurt. I am however thinking about just converting into a juicing/smoothie diet for another few weeks. Let my body finish whatever it needs to do and continue with my praying. Any tasty juicing recipes? I just have a really stron ...

Well I completed my 60 day fast. And honestly once my electrolyte problem was solved I felt that I could have gone further but 60 was plenty. I wasn’t physically hungry but my mind was telling me I needed calories. Also had to replace a zirconium filling and didn’t really want to be fasting while I was going through that. (I get chipped teeth every now and then from kickboxing even with my mouth guard) ANYWAYS... what I’ve noticed after refeeding is that I have a slight, [VERY slight] numb feeling in my pinky fingers and to an even lesser extent ring fingers. It wasn’t there while fasti ...

Well so far I figured out that my biggest problem was lack of electrolytes. I started adding about a half teaspoon of Himalayan pink salt to my water over the course of two days and my problems cleared right up. I feel right as rain again and dare I say ... energetic. lol It seems that 50 days is the magic number but I’m back to my Kangen filtered water now until I start to feel the effects again. Also thanks for the breaking the fast pages. I’ll be reading them tomorrow. Have a great day all!   [End]

Congratulations, I’m right behind you on day 51 right now of my water fast and I figure I’m about where you are on the pounds lost. Although that isn’t my objective. I am always nauseas in the mornings. mostly because the mucus has dried in my throat over night and I can’t swallow without activating my gag reflex. I always feel better after throwing up though and start drinking water. The biggest problem I’m having right now is my reaction time is slowed. The closest I can compare it to would be like having a slight buzz from few glasses of wine but being totally sober and alert. No ...

I’m not a expert on fasting and my fasting experience is mostly for religious reasons. However I am a competitive athlete and that being said if I were in your situation I would be getting some form of protein back into my diet. In whatever manner you deem best plant based or otherwise. Maybe yogurt or tofu, something that isn’t going to rift too much with your refeeding process. I would be working hard to get those stabilizing muscles going again. If it is a dizziness issue, I get this while fasting but not post fast. I try to take a bunch of quick deep breaths to get my O2 up and that us ...

Thank ya kindly. I’m still going strong so far and haven’t really had any feeling of hunger. Also I still have a nice healthy layer of fat to draw from and I do have a quite a bit of muscle as well, although I don’t think it will come to that. I started this at about 240. Power lifers don’t care so much about body fat as long as we can push the weight. Maybe we should. I do start thinking about mineral/vitamin deficiency at this point in the game though.   [End]

I’m on day 40 of a 60 day, I’m starting to develop minor headaches in the frontal lobe area. While this is fast is not so much about weight loss, I am right at about my old fighting weight which is telling me that I’m starting to get to the older layers of adipose. Am I going through a second wave of detox? It’s nothing I can’t work through and the steam room helps a lot, but at the same time if it is a health issue I’ll break the fast. Also just on an aside my stomach is always feeling slightly queasy lately, like my stomach just isn’t quite settle. Again nothing major but I would be very ...
