I'm currently on a water only type fast which means no food and only water. I plan on fasting for 10 days and I'm currently on day 7. I feel great right now physically and I'm just mentally thinking of food periodically lol but no real hunger pains. After day 3 I get a big boost of energy and I feel spry. My body feels younger with less drag if that makes sense. I'm able to complete all my daily tasks without being tired.
Last Thursday night I had my last meal (intake of calories) which consisted of Beef Broth. I weighed 238lbs that night and as of this morning I weighed in at 224lbs. I originally started fasting few years back due to a digestion issue the doctors couldn't figure out. A 7 day fast cured that medical issue and I've been doing a fast every year since. I think a lot of people should try water fasting at least once in their life. There are so many Medical benefits with water fasting.
CP'ers will be disappointed or maybe even happy for me in that I haven't taken a crap in 5 days.
Thought it would be cool topic for discussion. Anyone here tried or know of anyone trying this kind of fasting? Any health benefits happen?
EDIT: Added a documentary that is a must watch! It's very interesting information regarding the science of fasting. It shows what other countries do and it inspired me to do my first 7 day fast. Let us know what you think of the Documentary.

Not really but I could lose a few pounds. I fast every year to cleanse my body.

No and I haven't tried using any during any of my fasts. If I went longer then 10 days I think I def would use electrolytes.

Thanks. I usually break my fast with Beef Broth for the collagen which can helps reline the intestines and help the joints. Then I'll have some plain yogurt a bit later for the culture which helps with stomach bacteria, [Reply]

Yes, I do have some extra weight now. I gained some weight with my wife during her pregnancy (which is common). She lost it all and I didn't. I'll get back down to my normal low 200-205

No electrolytes on any of my fasts. Only Himalayan salt. Maybe, I should try some electrolytes.
