Ok my brain has decided that every wednesday i should eat or drink nothing. Except two 1 litre bottles of water + lemon juice (squeezed from lemons). Am I crazy or will this somehow benefit my skin?

[leonidas]

Ok. Why don't you just drink water with lemon everyday?

[uncle buck]

Because... i don't know... good question. Perhaps i should drink water with lemon everyday. But on wednesdays i shall eat or drink nothing else... yeah i have a pretty confused mind, i was born confused.

You might get really really hungry if you just drink water with lemon juice in it...lemon alone probably won't subside your hunger... I don't know :-k

[uncle buck]

Yeah it's ok, i'll be fine with that.

Actually, that's the very same protocol you would follow for a lemon-water fast. Fasting is very good for your health. It gives your digesitve system a chance to rest and recuperate. The lemons are used to help flush away toxins.

Fasting should be done under the supervision of a Naturopath.

If you fast and are not prepared for it, your body can create a healing crisis and you will break out even more as you try and flush all toxins out.

Fasting doesn't have to be food free. You could fast from junk but have lots of vegetable juices etc... that would add a lot of nutrients to your body.

I'm curious about fasting. I've wanted to try it, the healthy way. Thing is, if I don't eat, I faint. (It's happened before when I tried.) I know there are suppliments and ways to do it and still get the benefits of a healthy fast without the dangers of low blood sugar. Can you recommend a good book or website where I can research this, or in your opinion, is fasting just not for some people?

I'm no expert on fasting Monkeypie, but I am not someone who believes in radical changes too quickly. I think the body needs to prepare for fasting, not just jump right in. Maybe do a search on amazon.com for books ... or you could ask a poster here called Denise2 - she is very knowledgeable about such matters.

Remember, good health is something to work towards, not something that can be achieved in a week.

Good luck and take care

Drink lots of lemon water every day. Lemon contains Vit-C with is an antioxidant (abolishes free radicals). I believe the suggested lemon amount per water is about 1/2lemon per liter. Which is very diluted.

Using this so-called "diet," I noticed little results (8 months on diet). Others have better luck.
