Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 I realize everyone is different and may have different experiences with extended water fasts, but I would like to hear (read, actually!) some feedback on other's experiences. I will be having a five day weekend starting on 1/17 and plan to do a water fast for the duration. I would like to allow for a longer fast by starting early. Since I work full days Monday (9.5 hrs) and Tuesday (9) I want to make sure I am OK for those days. If I started fasting Mon I should be fine. That is probably what I will do. However, if I were to start on Thursday or Friday before, I would have an extra weekend for fasting with no work, etc. (just relaxing). This will be my first extended water fast (beyond 1-2 days). While working during a fast may not be ideal, the extra days may pay off as long as I can function well at work (it's not heavy work, just mental stuff). Working day 1 & 2 may be quite different from working day 5 & 6! Care to share your experiences/suggestions?

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 hi, jeff i'm fasting at this moment, have tried many different options during the last five years as to when to start how to cheat off some time from woerk and from fasting how to make the best compromise, and what i have concluded is the same old cliche among intelligent and raw people: you have to find it out for yourself for the occasion for the season etc, important is to get going, find the best way you think it is at the moment with the experience you have with the fears you might have, because that's the way, anyway, i may meet you tonight at victoria's,ok? we may cook out something, just beraw and happy,attila --- Jeff Rogers <jeff wrote: > I realize everyone is different and may have > different experiences > with extended water fasts, but I would like to hear > (read, actually!) > some feedback on other's experiences. > > I will be having a five day weekend starting on 1/17 > and plan to do a > water fast for the duration.
