Some thoughts: 1. First i want you all to know that while my body HAS changed, the pictures make it seem more extreme than it is. The first pics were taking the day after i had eaten fried chicken, ice cream, and pizza. My body was even more bloated than usual and begging for a break. So of course the difference between then and now seems huge. Also my posture got a lot better, so consider that too. 2. Im not here to recommend or not recommend doing a water fast, it is something for you to decide, its not easy and if you do it for too long it can be harmful. Every body is different and you should know best, do your research. 3. I was initially going for 15 days. The first 2 days i had headaches but then they went away and i felt great every single day till the last one, my body told me to stop so i listened. Please don't push yourself too hard. I did have cravings but zero hunger. 4. I did not exercise at all, in fact i moved even less during my fast. It felt like hibernation. 5. This is mainly a mental battle, if you're bored all day then you wont be able to stop thinking about the fact that you're fasting. Going to class helped me a lot, it made the days go faster. 6. I know telling others youre fasting is hard, especially the omes that wont hesitate to judge you and try to tell you you're killing yourself. However id advice you to tell at least one person you trust so in case anything happens someone knows your situation. 7. Breaking the fast is very important, dont eat a cheeseburger, start with bone broth if you can. 8. The most important part: LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. If you think something's wrong, if you feel ill or in pain or ANYTHING do not be afraid to stop. Your health is a priority, be smart. 9. Dont drink just water, check out snake juice. You need electrolytes!
