THE WORSHIPING OF DEMONS IS A BANNABLE OFFENSE AS WELL AS CALLING PERFECTION A '******'. I AM A HIGH-AND-MIGHTY WHITE KNIGHT JACKASS WHO KNOWS WHAT IS BEST FOR THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE.

I should also note that half the forum population left when these left wing fanatics took over saying they fully expected this type of bull**** to happen. They were right and, I guess, I was slow to accept that reality or at least I made a lot of excuses for behavior which never should have been excused. It is just unbelievable .

I will probably get a one week ban at CFC just for that post I made over here.

Hey Ming, why don't you post like this?

My first attempt at a 24 hour fast ended ~3 hours short of my goal...

I'll try again in a few days, I dont remember if the article mentioned how often.

[pchang]

21 hours is close enough. Good job.

[Berzerker]

I made it to 24 hours last night... I limited my intake to water, what does your friend do? I'm not sure about what constitutes a fast, I suppose a little food can be eaten. Maybe once a week will be enough

[pchang]

Water and other liquids with no sugar or fats (like plain tea). In fact, water is required. Dehydration is unsafe. I would start with once a week and see if you feel a difference. You should also probably get your blood tested after a couple months or so to make sure nothing bad is happening.

You could get a ketone test kit to see if you're entering ketosis. Probably a 1 day fast won't get you there if you have a high carb diet anyway, and it may not be what you're shooting for. But it is one of the physical indicators that can tell you when fasting (or a low carb diet) is making a difference in how your body is functioning.

I would also urge drinking normal amounts of water (8 x 8 oz glasses per day) during fasting periods.

[Berzerker]

I'm not sure I drink that much even on days I play golf, some days I barely drink any water

maybe thats why I'm prone to nasty leg cramps after a round of golf

I read somewhere low magnesium can do that too
