Me too! I was pleasantly surprised to have found this group . . . and to
have found it not empty, no less. When I first subscribed to
alt.health.fasting many moths ago it was completely empty.

I'm beginning my fourteen day fast tomorrow as well. Right now I'm just
brimming with my typical pre-fast excitement, eager to begin! What I
find most helpful for fasting, especially during those first three days,
is to keep myself extremely busy. If I'm unoccupied my attention drifts
straight to food, naturally. Exercise helps---keeps me busy, lessens my
appetite, and of course, gives me plenty of energy.
Good luck on your fast. You should find plenty of support in here.

Is it okay to continue with this fast? I suppose I should take a
multivitamin......I feel this is going to be a hard day as I don't feel
the greatest!!
I would like to lose 40 pounds by the end of July...is this possible?
How much have you lost on your fast before? Sorry so many
questions!!!! Thanks for your input.

If this is your first fast and you don't really know how you're body is
going to react to the fast yet, then it would probably be a good idea to
take a multivitamin. From past experience, I know that there is a
difference in how my body feels when consuming solely water and when
adding supplements to my intake.

Yes, it is possible, though certainly not easy. But with a bit of
determination and focus, you should be able to do it. I typically lose
between one and two pounds per day when fasting which is about average.

I always fast when this happens, but it's been a few years now since I've
had cold/flu symptoms. Keep us posted.
