Can-t really agree with the facts mentioned. In my religion (Jainism) we practice water only fasting quite often. I myself did an -Atahi- (8 days without food and just water, no water after sunset) and the time when I was doing it another guy was at 30 days. He went on for 55 days and I don-t remember him getting all these issues.
Surely, the food after this fasting was very important. For 2 weeks it was a transition from liquid to solid food.
It was a good experience (not easy) but thousands of people practice it every year.

This is what a water fast is extremely effective for weight loss. How he explains your body shifts from relying on glucose to body fat for energy levels. Once your in this stage you continue to water fast until your happy with your body fat percentage and just introduce food again. If your diet continues the way it was before you will put on the fat again but this is where you need to maintain a healthy diet afterwards. Works a charm and is actually pretty good for your system. Some of the healthiest people in the world.

Dear -what if. You come to India and meet people who have done water fasting for over 150 days and are still healthy and normal. Need to update your knowledge bro. There are even people who have done fasting for not even drinking water and food, ate nothing for consecutively 44 days (P. s. no food supply through nerves. Science needs to research on these people.

I have wondered for the longest time, and I can't really find much information on the subject. Can you survive on nothing but empty calorie beverages (sweet tea, lemonade, maybe even soda) and vitamin supplements. Literally no food, but all the nutrition and calories you'd need. Theoretically it should work, right? Seems like a miserable time though.

I doubt nothing would happen because it-s been around long before wine and other drinks where invented and if you drank it from the time u was born till adulthood your body would be used to it and adapt so well that if you tried other liquids like sodas and juices the body would probably glitch not knowing how to process it

I-ve only done prolonged water fasting for about three days, a few times. Each time I lose about 4. 4 pounds, which is not bad at all. I can-t imagine doing 70 days of water fasting unless I-m morbidly obese. That way I-ll be able to produce ketones for food from all the body fat.

i think if u are very fat and think i should water fast for 100 days there is a low chance of surviving(i think) because fat people have alot of fat and fat = energy for later

But, for me not having food for 24 hours or longer. these symptoms might show earlier in me than others. Because I'm built differently, and can't endure hunger for a longer time.

Another interesting what if that provides valuable insight that the body needs more than just plain H2O, we need stuff like protein, vitamin, calcium, fiber and more for survival!

I've done more than one 21 day water fast, and this video appears to be wrong in what little i watched. Hunger really goes away, and its not that big of a deal.

Watch Dr. Berg for the real simplicfication of fasting ( intermittent fasting) for hours to days. He has evidence-based paperwork to back it up.

If you're doing a water fast, the longest I would go for would be 1 or 2 weeks. Then try it again in about 2 months. It's great weight loss.
