How can I stick with a water fast?
Q. I am doing this for three reasons: 1) to lose fifteen pounds 2) to end my binge eating disorder and 3) to restore my health and state of self-control. Please, no "DONT DO THIS!" I have decided that this is the only way.
A. I'm 16 years old and I'm currently on day 34 of a 40 day water fast. My motivation came from reading 'Fasting and Eating for Health' by Joel Fuhrman M.D. It explains water fasting in depth, what to expect, WHY you feel the way you do during a fast. It also lists the illnesses and diseases prolonged water fasting has cured, like asthma, eczema, chronic migraines, cases of cancer/tumors. It has also repaired damaged livers and lungs of people who have spent most of their life drinking and smoking.
Fasting is a powerful thing, but it gets a bad reputation from people who have been "brainwashed" into thinking meat is a good thing, or milk is required for your body to stay healthy. Also, from doctors who believe this is a "starvation diet."
Please note: You are NOT starving until you have about 5% body fat left. You feed off of fat reserves until there are very few left. THAT'S when you begin feeding off of your organs, and not a minute before.
This country is a business driven by money, not your safety. The FDA wants your money. The food companies want your money. Health care professionals want your money! They could care less about damaging your organs as long as they're furthering their business. Your doctors want to prescribe you medicine for your addiction, illness, injury, etc. because it makes THEM money.
Sorry for the rant, I just feel very strongly about this.
Good luck <3 !

How can i lose the weight that i gained binge eating?
Q. I binged a whole lot this month and i must have gained 10lbs, alot of people i know have binged for over a month and suddenly stopped and gone back to their normal eating routine and actually lost around 10ls in 2 weeks, how does that work? They don't diet or workout all they did was stop binging is that supposed to happen?
A. The body is always working for health and balance. It's an AMAZING machine. But like anything is complex in how it works and this can take a little time to get to know and understand.
One thing that will help is to focus on what you CAN consume rather than what you cannot.
Drinking more water will help in many ways and is worth reading up about. There is a good book called The Water Cure that has some worthwhile information. I have found that drinking 3L of water per day and thereby replacing a lot of unhealthy liquids is an excellent habit to establish and practice as it has an amazing effect on my physique.
Avoiding eating even just for the four hours prior to going to sleep is another good place to start. Try to consume your calories at other times in the day.
Move your biggest muscles for at least 20 minutes per day. This means your legs. Move them.
There is plenty more to learn. Take your time in learning and be gentle with yourself.
Best of luck with your preparations toward achieving your goals.
