I want to detox myself... I've been doing the Sauna Thing and Drinking water all summer. I think i'm ready to fast. I'm going to do a 3 day fast (is that too many?) I eat well, and I will eat like I regularly would as soon as my 3 days are up.

Okay, well detoxing is about cleansing the body. 3 days will be a little hard. Your body is normally used to some fats, and sugar [assuming you treat yourself to choccies and eat takeaway sometimes], so by eliminating these factors, your body will change a little. You might have a headache, feel tired, nausea even. Drink LOADS of water, I'm talking 8 glasses a day. Put a little lemon in it for energy.

One day is great, much better option. You could even do one day every week, it wont do anything bad to you, it'll just cleanse and help. If you feel like a day is going to be hard, have a cut up apple half way through the day or at night if you're craving.

Make sure you look after your body well. There's no need to excercise. You'll need at least 8 hrs of sleep too.

Good luck!

I would think drinking water is enough.I can't imagine going 3 days without eating.just my opinion, but I think it's not healthy ..I'd pass out if I didn't eat for one day ! lol. i personally think 3 days is not too many, because my grandmother went for a month or 2 with only liquids. When you fast you will quickly find that it is as much spiritual as it is physical. I personally have only gone as many as 40 hrs. Believe you me it aint easy. So 24hrs. would be a good place to start. If you are going to make a habit of it 3 days is very common. If I remember right there is a break in the pain at 3, 7 and 23 days and many people have actually gone as many as 40 days of fasting. It's a christian thing. Jesus tempted in the wilderness for 40 days. Your body will begin to devour itself after 62 days so I would avoid that if at all possible. So good luck I think that it is an awesome thing to commit to a fast. Good luck and GOD Bless. There's a fast called the "lemonade diet" ( you can google it) Its very intense but works AWESOME. Do this one and not only will you be a stronger person for it (its hard) but its a complete cleanse, and its great for burning brown fat, which is the fat you store when youre younger from unhealthy foods, that is really hard to get rid of.Thats usually where the harshest toxins are stored too. It also cleans your intestinal lining. I did it myself but only lasted through day 5.
