anyone out there ever do an extended fast or do the master cleanse? any smooth move fans? what are your fasting experiences?
I just did the master cleanse for 8 days, I was amazed at how much stuff came out of me. I sure feel healthy now.
I always succumb to cravings, so I am doing some parasite cleansing and bowel cleansing now before I do fasting sucesfully for mroe then a day.
I did a colonic a few weeks back & now I am doing research and trying to find the best weekend to do a fast. I want to do raw fruits & veggies for 2-3 days ,,,then do pure juice for 2 days ( weekend so I can be at home for the worst part of it) and then back to raw for 2-3 days. I have found alot of helpful info on the www.rawfoods.com bullatin chat boards. They have a juice forum and and a general forum as well as an archive. LOTS of talks about fasting on that site!
yeah i really need to check my schedule for a free day when i smooth move! phew! the master cleanse is pretty awesome. who knew such simple ingredients could clean you out so well! peace
this is off topic, and the same thread is in health... but I'll be kind... please bop over to health and answer the longer fast thread!!!! seems odd that long-term veggies still need to give the system a break...
i wanted to try and fast too, but it can be quite dangerous if done unproperly, and i always do things unproperly. so, yeah. :/
according to the book..it's only supposed to be a 3-day fast at the most. My best friend and I were online yesterday looking for info on the Master Cleanse. I'm getting my ingrediants next wednesday(payday) and doing it.and I actually cant wait. She has a friend who does it..and she after the first time she did it..not only did she lose nearly 20 pounds in 2 weeks....she was positively glowing. everything about her looked better. I was reading some websites and the whole idea of detoxing your body each month is brilliant.
keep us posted Otter! Pritam and I might buddy up (offer e-mail support and the like.) in July. PLEASE check out the fasting thread in health. He put some good links up, as did Ital.
fasting really clears not only my body, but my head as well. a long fast proves to be a really spiritual event for me. i'm just so much more aware.
i am pretty sure i am going to do the master cleanser this summer but im not sure if that is the one i wanna do and i heard that it has to be done a certain way. its kinda confusin, does anyone think that there are better cleansers and detoxifyers out there that would be better to try out for the first time? i wanna go for at least ten days and i want it to be successful and see what exactly it could do to make me feel better i also get terrible zits and blackheads and i thought this might help but that reason is far down the list for doing this could you help me out?
I did a juice fast for 2 months, and at the end of the 1st month, I had so much energy I competed in the Atlanta Stone Run (rollerblade race). I didn't win, but I sure beat all my friends. But 2 months is a bit extreme. I did it because I seriously needed to clean the junk out of my system & get a brand new body. Definitely you can feel the results in less than a week. This is juice fasting I'm talking about. Water fasts are a whole different ballgame. Although Gandhi could go for 2 weeks or more, I've only done it for 5 days max, and it requires loads of mental & physical discipline. Just remember "the necessity of drinking plenty of water, however nauseating or distasteful it might be." (Gandhi, from "Experiments with Truth") Good luck! And PM me if you're really serious about roto-rootin yourself.
for juice fasting...is it really important that you get the fresh fruits and squeeze them yourself? i m not sure if i have enough time for that and it seems like that would take alot of fruit to do has anyone tried the master cleanser and a juice fast and/or other fast? i would like to know which is better for the body and how to do them exactly...i really appreciate your help guys cya
nah 3 days is only a brief glimpse or introduction into cleansing ten days is a minimum for serious cleasnsing to begin 20 for something really incredible 40 for a full body makeover or whatever lol there's is also a cleanse called the nutritional fast that utlizes raw blended soups
