    After a thorough 5-day fast Tim Altman (Fasting Expert) explains the benefits of my 5 day fast (based off a bioimpedance test) and also the symptoms/side effects i encountered over the 5 day detox.
    Originally I had planned on a 5 day water fast. However, after consulting with Tim about my goals and also after he assessed my body type, he recommended a 5 day juice fast / cleanse which incorporated two small juices a day, enemas, colloidal silver and a very thorough reintroduction to food program. Tim said a water fast is more aligned to people needing a much deeper style cleanse and detox; normally those with some form of debilitating illness.
    In this video, Tim responds to all my questions about the symptoms / side effects I got over this 5 day fast and also discusses the benefits I will see from my positive test results. I had a MASSIVE CLEANSE!
    Before & After results can be seen in part 1.

    I’m at the end of day 4 on a 6 day water fast. I feel fantastic. True story: I had a dream this morning that someone had a sandwich in front of my mouth and I woke myself up trying to bite it.

    MY story. I went to bed Sunday night after eating a pizza, big bag of chips, 6 pack of beer and a couple cocktails. Woke up Monday at 7. Fell back asleep. Got back up at 11 and had to cancel work. Felt so horrible I decided to stop everything and go on a fast. I had done one 10 years ago for 3 days and knew I'd feel great after a couple days. I stayed on for 128 hours till Saturday morning. I went from 155lbs to 144.2lbs. I did moderate exercise for an hour as much as my body would handle. TRUTH- this time I felt out of it till Friday. It's now saturday morning as I type and I'm drinking coffee and going to eat in about an hour. I feel like a new man...Fasting works- even if you dont do it right- it's the hardest "easy" thing you'll ever do.

      Big di*k Tyrone I’m still alive so that’s good. The hunger pain never goes away. Absolutely brutal but great learning experience. Made me realize that most of our hunger comes from cravings and not actual physical hunger. Makes normal healthy diets easy as my body now knows the difference between the two. From my experience 80% of the hunger was just from cravings so it’s a huge mental battle. Pro tip: when headaches get severe mix a bottle of water w/ one tbs of pink salt.

      2. Set your mind. Think that after days of fasting you can have a day to eat whatever you want. Prepare a reward for yoursel and it will keep you going
      3. Avoid going to tge kitchrn or somewhere foods are placed. It will only seduce you and you might be tempted to end your fast
      4.Do some hobbies. For me, I draw, study since I am still a student or just watch videos. Distract yourself from thinking of food.

    I'm on day 5 of a 5-day water fast. I can’t wait until tomorrow! I did my 5 day fast for a body reset. I've done a 7-day water fast before, and it was really challenging. Many water fasters will report that they felt very light and energized from around day 4-5. I never experienced that. What didn't help either was that I watched basically all episodes of Chef's Table on Netflix in a row 🙈. I finally broke my fast with some cucumber and avocado. And it was heavenly, lol!
    This time around, it was easier. The first 3 days were pretty bearable actually, I still got to do some work. But on day 4, I couldn't function. All I did was lay on the couch and watch series. I don't even want to watch anything anymore, but it's a way to keep me occupied cause I don't have the energy to work. I'm also experiencing brain fog: yesterday, it took me 5 minutes to figure out what day it was...
    This is the final day, and I feel more or less similar to yesterday. The end is near, though 😀. I like what Matt of Yes Theory said about his water fast and seeking discomfort: _"You have to force yourself to lack things. Otherwise, you're just going to think everything is kinda normal, available and you're not gonna appreciate it."_
    Doing this fast gave me a newfound appreciation for the good things in life, especially all the tasty delicious foods out there that sometimes I may take for granted. I'm a big proponent of slow living, and doing a 5 day water fast will surely slow you down. In that sense, it also has a spiritual component. We've been given this amazing body, and we need to nurture it to be able to function properly. But by overfeeding it, we're actually doing ourselves a disservice. A fast is way to reset your body and give it time to heal. And it makes me appreciate that, without a healthy body, everything I want to do and put out there in the world, cannot happen.

I do them to detoxify and weight loss. This time I won't give in and have a goal of 120 hours, I will go longer if comfortable.

    Have done a lot of fasting this year.
    After 3 months break from long fast I started a 5 day fast last week. I was too hungry, dissy, weak and gave up.
    This week I started again and it is so much easier. On day 3 now and do not feel any hunger at all so 5 days should be easy.
    It is interesting what causes the change in hunger and dissines. I will drink some picked juice on this fast to see if it makes a difference.
    Also interesting that if I re-feed too much, too quickly, i get diarré within 1-2 hours. Meaning that food goes through me in just a few hours.

    My experience is that you need to drop your blood glucose levels and raise ketones, thus nutritional ketosis. To get into deep nutritional ketosis, (some also would call this Autophagy, ), a zero calorie fast would be required. I took me 4 days to reach a 59mgdl glucose level/4.9mmol ketone level. I would also recommend doing intermittent fasting before prolonged fasting. This will prepare your body mentally/physically.

      You have to live for many decades, so don't think to get results in a ultra short term dear I recommend you to focus on goal not on time, stick with 21 hour's of fasting everyday and 3 hour's of eating window , do it consistently and you will see the results in 3 month's, give yourself atleast 3 to 4 months so those things which we are losing won't come back. Stop every processed food even ketchup or mayonnaise bread, just take fruits salad enough protein but natural not sausages.

      Juice fasting/feasting is basically a calorie restrictive diet so of course you will lose some fat. However, you won't switch over to full ketosis on the juices because of the carbohydrate intake. A water only fast will have you enter true fat fuel mode/ketosis in roughly 3 days after all the glycogen is burnt up.

Start taking it three days before a full moon. Take it for a month, You can do one week on and a few days off and another week on for a month. Take a break and do it another month to get the eggs. Dr. morse also has a formula for the smaller bugs like fungus which you can take for a long time. This helps with cravings since parasites are partly what makes us crave the bad foods. Also most of us have them and they can cause many weird issues. When you take the formula the die off can cause some symptoms. If you can it would be good to take something that makes you poop (Dr. morse GI renew) ...slippery elm. And perhaps something to support the kidneys.
