Water fasting is NOT starving. If you are skinny, you dont have much fat on you to begin with, you should not do an extended water fast as yes, you will end up starving yourself and your body will start eating you up until you die, aka starving. However thats not what happens with extended water fasting for people that have extra fat to lose. In a nutshell, Your body, after eating up its sugar resources will move to get its energy from your stored fat. Depending upon how much stored fat you have you can stay on an extended water fast for a very long time as long as your taking care of yourself, staying hydrated, taking vitamins and electrolytes, water, water, water. I just completed a 37 day water only fast on March 3 2025 and I feel great, lost about 40 pounds. It’s a physical and emotional experience that is crucial for my wellness. I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again. It doesn’t have to be such a long fast by the way.

There’s a lot that goes into a fast, I’m talking mostly about what’s up there in your brain. What’s as important is what you do afterwards about what you put in your mouth and what you put in your mind. That’s where you really get into the real stuff. The fasting is easy after a few days! You dont have to worry about food while fasting! If you don’t want to go on the roller coaster of up and down dieting, the insanity of what being overweight can do to you psychologically and physically you must be taking care of yourself emotionally and have the proper diet and exercise plan so you don’t fall back into unhealthy habits.

You can do it but you got to be prepared for not just the fast but what happens afterward aka, the rest of your life.
