I do not recommend fasting whatsoever. But I have experimented with it before I ever heard of McDougalling. I offer the following message strictly as FYI only. I dont encourage or support anyone fasting for more than a day, ever... Before I discovered McDougalling, I experimented with fasting several times. I have done numerous 3-day water-only and 5-day water-only fasts. The longest I ever went was 14 days, water-only. A friend of mine was experimenting with fasting at the same time too. He did the 30-day water-only fasts a several times, but he started to have real problems at that point. And he was healthy and young (late 20's) at the time....30 days is much too long for water-only. I am sure some people not in great shape could die. As for the 5 day water-only fasts, they were interesting. The first 2 days you are starving and literally fantasizing, lusting, daydreaming about food!!!! I swear its true...but usually starting on the 3rd day, the hunger stops, and you start to feel good...and clean...and focused. In the drug section of most stores, where the laxatives are, they sell these little green bottles of liquid laxative. My friends wife is a RN, and she said thats the same stuff they use in the hospital to clean people out. I never used it, but my friend did every fast, and he said it totally flsuhes your digestive track of every last little SPECK. ...But I do NOT recomment fasting to anyone. I do not endorse it, support ir, and certainly do not practice it anymore. I am just offering the above as FYI only.
