How much do you eat on a fasting day? You don't go zero calorie intake, or do you?
- buserror 10y agoYou don't eat. At all. Nothing. It's not that hard really, as mentioned, the first day is a bit hard, but after that you are no longer hungry anyway.. I have sometime a glass of fruit juice in the morning, coffee, and water. The trick is to try to 'plan' ahead. Don't stock up on nice food, only do that on the friday!
- andrei_says_ 10y agoHow does your body react to the fruit juice?
- soperj 10y agoThat's not 0 calories though.
- gnaritas 10y agoFruit juice is a ton of sugar, it's the same as eating.
- lkrubner 10y agoPersonally, I think the maximum health benefit comes from zero calories. I'm able to function and work fairly well for the first 7 days. It's (typically) on day 8 that I start to feel weak and/or sick. I've gone to a twelfth day, and by then I feel like I have the flu. Which is interesting, because it taught something about a flu. I always thought a flu did direct damage, but now I think the worst thing about the flu is the interruption of the production of normal proteins that my body needs. And exactly the same thing must happen after 7 days without food -- the body is increasingly unable to make necessary proteins. It is interesting to me how much the feeling of a long fast resembles a flu.
