No im on caveman regimen and fasting the same time my scars now are not that deep at all compared from 3 weeks ago they where really deep i have to say i have fasted two times before 1 week fast and then i paused for one day and fasted again 1 week my acne cleared up very much and my scars where less but now i want to clear up my acne and scars 100%
Today i had to stop the fast cause the doctor gave a medicin against parasites.
i went to the doctor 3 weeks ago and did blood tests wich showed i had parasites
I dont think i have parasites now because i have fasted but my family wont let me fast until my medication is over i will take the medicin for 3 weeks so i will fast again in a month for 40 days
Aghhne when will you fast ?
My scars has improved a lot during this fast so im convinced a 40 day water fast will heal my scars. Some of my deep ice pick scars are almost gone. I have taken pictures of my scars from 4 month ago i will post the pictures when i end my fast next month.
Lol, cant you show us a preview
I'm soo eager to see your results.
Im planning to do a fast after all the events on September.
The month of september has a lot of celebrations for me. I don't wanna miss out on the food and stuff so i postponed it.
There's a big chance ill be fasting the same time as you.
So we'll be fasting buddies
So how many days in total did you fast this time?
10 days and i saw some results on my scars one ice pick scar disappeard on my nose the other scars improved.
Now im trying to gain my weight back and taking my medication.
Hey duffq,
Is it okay to derma stamp only my acne scars while on a water fast?
My plan is, a week before the water fast, ill stamp my scars then water fast after a week.
My next dermastamp will resume after a week has passed from breaking my water fast.
I coudnlt find post of people dermastamping or rolling in combination of fasting.
how do you manage no food? Where do you get energy? Doesn't it make you starving all the time? I fast for like 12-16 hrs sometimes but not days. I am interested in trying it for like 3 days but that's as far as I would go. Can I have a guide on how to do it properly
Dude, you would get more information if you would research it.
I mean, we can only explain so much.
But to answer you, your body gets energy from fat cells, useless tissue, toxins, blockage, harmful bacteria, harmful viruses, scar tissue, etc.
Basically your body is very smart and it eats those that are not needed in the body. It will most likely go for the ones that harms your body. That's why water fasting is good for you and there are reports that scars disappear or minimize. Your body also is in major healing mode during water fasting.
The first 3 days of water fasting is the hardest. That's because your mind is tricking you that you need food to survive because it is soooo used to eating food. It's like a habit. You'll notice that. After that, it changes to ketones. That's where it starts eating fat cells, toxins, scar tissue, bacteria, viruses, tumours, etc.
As for a guide on how to do it.
Go research it. It's not that hard.
I'm currently on day 7 of a water fast, I plan to do it for 21 days.
So far I haven't had a new spot, which proves to me it is all diet related.
I haven't noticed a significant improvement so far re red spots or scars, but the real healing takes places between 14-21 days. However my skin tone has improved greatly, my skin is very soft and smooth. And I have been working my body pretty hard in terms of still doing a small workout which I realized isn't the best idea as the body will have less time to heal. I have been a smoker since age 16 now 23 so my body has a lot of stuff to clear out which could also take a bit longer than say a non smoker.
The first 4 days were very hard regarding food and I nearly broke it 3 times I drove to the 24 hour supermarket down the road, bought a load of food, even opened it but just thought to myself if I don't stick to it I will always wonder 'what if'. People are willing to try 100's of products for months, but not try a free solution and cheap solution like this which is beneficial to your body as well.
I haven't been hungry or even thought about food the last 3 days so I'm over that.
Anyway I'll keep this updated.
Edit; How many days are you currently on Duffq?
I would love to do longer but I will be severely underweight if I did more than 21
I would really like to try to fast but im only able to fast from friday after lunch to sunday evening. Because i cant fast while im in school since i am allready tired in school i cant imagine how it would be if didnt ate anything.
But would a such short fast even do any good for my skin?
I wouldnt if i were you.
Your body consumes mucles the first 3 days before it goes into ketosis.
You get little to no benefit and your mucles decreases as well.
Doing a fast while in school isnt that hard but not easy.
So if you are gonna water fast, dont do it for just a short period of time.
Okay, thanks for the answer!
I know you could fast in school but i really don't think i would be able to study anything then + i don't even think my parents would alow me to fast in school xD.
I think im gonna wait till the autum-break and then i can fast for a week.
Or is a week also to short to get any skin benefits?
The first week, your body is in acidosis, trying to balance your body's ph. So your body is detoxing and cleaning and balancing your system.
So you wont get any significant healing in a week.
After a week, your body will finish acidosis or it could take more days depending on how bad your diet was. Anyways, after acidosis finishes, your body will focus on balancing other things like sugar lvls, blood, etc. , repairing organs, and creating more tissues.
Im going to fast suring school. I dont think fasting will affect your marks or anything. Actually, reports say fasting makes your mind clearer and it gives you more time since you wont have to cook, eat, etc. so you can use that time reading and studying.
I think the only thing that will hinder us from going to school is when we detox hard so we're gonna feel weaker for just a couple of days. But after that weak "stage" you will feel fine and energetic but sometimes it will be broken by short periods of weakness because the body is detoxing still.
So in short:
A week fasting will give you a major detox and some healing but not that much for healing because the first week is usually the body's major cleaning time. Your major cleaning time also depends on how bad your lifestyle was before the fast.
So it's better for you to eat healthy and excercise before the fast.
Okay thanks, i think i will do that 7 days fast then to give my body a major detox. My diet is pretty good now i eat no sugar, no dairy, no gluten and limiting grains. I eat much fruit, veggies and some meat and fish. Im gonna start to excercise some weeks before. Also would Sauna help with the detoxing?

Wow, im really proud of you. You beat the first week which is usually the hardest.
How are you feeling?
Anyways, duffq stopped fasting on day 10. He mentiones this on the previous page.
The doctor gave him medicine for parasites but he says it wasnt caused by fasting. He had it before. He's going to continue after taking the medicine for 3 weeks then go water fasting again.
And stayingpositivewithacne,
I dont know if a sauna will help with detoxing. I think ive read it's not good to go to hot baths while water fasting. Cause you might faint. I think it's bec we have low blood pressure during the fast.
I feeling fine thanks, day 6 I had a really, really sore throat and was coughing up mucus and the colour of it coming out was black lol. Which is probably the detox from smoking was pretty horrified when I was coughing up pure black shit. Day 7 I had a bit of a stomach ache but that's gone now, On day 9 now and feeling good, not aching, not hungry feel fine whereas before there were a few nights I had trouble sleeping because of pains in my joints but that seems to have gone now.

Wow, that's a good sign. I mean that you coughed that black mucus.
I have a favor to ask pls..
Can you keep me updated on your water fast? Please?
Also, what scars do you have?
I will fast i a week again
)
Just a week right?
When are you gonna fast? Let's do it together.
Hey, i was wondering, how's your icepick scars on your nose? I have them and it bothers me a lot. But what's worse is i have nose bumps from past acne on my nose and they havent disappeared after months.
My ice picks on my nose are almost gone you cant see them anymore i have keloid scar on my nose healed alot during my fast like 50 procent
All that happened in just 10 days? Intersting.
How deep were your icepicks?
Also, from what i learned, keloid scars keep growing out of the bondary of the original wound.
And hypertrophic scars are raised scar that stops growing after it has raised.
How bad were your hypertrophic scars?
Please dont eat candy or go back to your old lifestyle
i et a snickers 2 days ago and the next day when i woke my face was full of eczema so i fasted that day and now its almost gone so i want to fast tomorrow stop taking the pills for 40 days
Ok, ill fast on friday.
I hope i can do it till 20 days.
Im scared of the detox symptoms because im going to school.
I have to go up and down the stairs.
Also, are you taking before and after pics?
Did you vomit when you fasted?
