Im sorry, by "Doctor" because i was useing the same logic your talking about i ment "That one nerdy science guy you know that is borderline qualified" kind of person, like me. Basically anyone who can physically look you over and say "Yes this is having a effect" and then document it will do fine.

I don't see why you'd need to prove it. We believe you, it's just that some of us don't think this is a good idea.

When you start getting really hungry your body will break down sugars in your fat reserves and you might end up being able to taste pear drops in your mouth. If this happens you know you aren't doing your body any favours.

Time since last eaten: 48 hours
Current ailments: Slight stomach cramps, moderate hunger, bad breath
Current cravings: Lemonade, caramel, turkey

This is going well so far. I think i'm going to try and do some research online and try and figure out what to expect over the next few days. I think i'm going to start feeling the beginnings of some side effects soonish.

Time will tell.

Mind over matter thus far.

Time since last eaten: 51 hours

Current ailments: I feel pretty worn out. It's similar to when your muscles begin to tire from running, rowing or whatever. I don't have any muscle burn or tension or anything, they just feel really lose and tired. My eyes feel pretty itchy as well. Oh, and i'm still feeling pretty hungry.

Current cravings: turkey, ice-cream, apple juice, something squishy/soft like a brownie I guess

Done.

Although I haven't actually lost that much weight yet. I'll probably have lost a bit by the end of this though. Starting to feel pretty shit though : /

I don't really have any intention of giving up though. Especially now that i'm tracking it via NG etc.

Current Ailments: Oh shit, shit just got really weird. I felt diarrhea coming again so I went to the bathroom. But it was different from regular diarrhea. It was just like water. It felt like I was pissing from my ass. Weirdest feeling i've ever had. I've got goosebumps pretty much everywhere

Current cravings: just completely lost my appetite

Since all you're intaking is liquid, and it takes about a day or two for food to get through your entire digestive system, this is perfectly normal.

While I don't think fasting for longer then a day or two is a smart idea, I do respect your commitment and determination. Takes a fuckload of willpower.

I might not approve of your action, but I certainatly respect your will power to execute.

I guess it makes perfect sense in theory.

I think i'm probably reaching the turning point. I.e where things start to change from just being hungry to things starting to wrong with the body.

The next 24 hours will be pretty interesting. I'm just gonna try and distract myself with work and what not.

Okay I think i'm going to have to lay off the water because this happened again but like waaaaaaay more violently. I won't post the details here but if for whatever reason anyone is interested, feel free to PM me.

I guess I didn't realise I was drinking so much water. I think i've been doing it to try and emulate the feeling of having a full stomach. Time to let go of the aqua safety blanket I guess.

Total Time: 67 hours

Current ailments: I'm starting to feel pretty shit. My body feels tired, i'm semi-dehydrated because i've cut back on the water after last nights incident. I've got pretty bad stomach cramps and I don't think i'm going to be able to get much done today. I'm too far into this to stop now. Although stopping is starting to become quite tempting.

I predict todays probably going to be the hardest.

Current cravings: Oranges, apples, bannanas, lemonade, Coca-Cola, caramel, turkey

well, dude, you're not injesting anything other than liquid. you're giving yourself a (not very healthy) colon cleanse. so you're definitely going to have diarrhea.

don't cut back on drinking water, whatever you do. your body needs the water for all your cells. you're not providing them with anything else besides the oxygen you're breathing in and water.

you need to eat soon, you can't keep living like this, dude. your cells are going to start breaking down and you're going to, worst case scenario (which is getting more and more likely), the hospital, and they're going to start you on IVs, and probably get a therapist talking to you to see why you're not eating.

and probably get labelled as having an eating disorder.

dude, just stop, for your body and your brain's sake.

I appreciate your advice and how stupid this all is. But i'm not stopping yet. Thank you.

What would be helpful though is if someone could help me figure out a plan to wean myself back onto a schedule of healthy eating after this project is finished. I think i'll probably do myself more harm than good if I go straight from 0 to 60 so to speak.

start just like you had oral surgery.

start with broths, then go onto soft foods like puddings and creamy soups, as well as rice and bread and stuff like mashed carrots. then move onto heavier and heavier foods.

just don't pig out when you first eat, otherwise you're going to barf it all up and make your stomach extremely upset. avoid greasy, fatty foods to start.

I'm not going to eat for the next 5 days. I'll allow myself water and one cup of coffee each day.

I've been going 28 hours so far and its pretty easy. I'll document it here.

Has anyone else done anything similar?

Why? Why the fuck?

I had some weird illness once that made me lose my appetite completely, and to get myself eating again I made myself eat yogurts when it became apparent I couldn't keep anything else down. It seemed to work.

The best way to go on this diet is a lemonade diet. Look it up, it'll help clean all that shit in your digestive system.

You will notice now after your done fasting or whatever, you will be eating more fruits.

I had an allergic reaction to mac n cheese over the summer and I couldn't really eat for the next few days after that. I was only craving for fish, apple juice, water and crackers.

I suggest you stop within the 4th day. If you really want to do it again this long, take fasts every month or so for a couple days to make the longer fasts easier.

After you are done, be careful for what you eat the next day. Don't eat any meat until you don't get any weird stomach feelings. That'll be too strong for the stomach right now.

Sweet chicken! What do you work as? Good for you :)

I completely forgot about this 'conversation' of ours, lol.

I was a Preload Supervisor. Which means I am in charge of just 1 metro (or roughly 24-30 employees at a given time) working early hours like 1am - 10am.

Now I'm in the process of being trained for Shift Manager. This means I basically have the responsibility of running the entire metros. Which is about 6 belts and 4 PDC's (Portable Distribution Center). I believe that comes out to about 80-90 employees. Out of about 120-130 employees in the building during this particular shift.

I am both really excited and nervous for this opportunity. It's what I want (for many reasons) but I can't help but question if I'm going to be good enough for this position. My main concern though, is that now I'll be subject to be transferred to another HUB. And quite frankly I love my employees I have. So it's a bunch of stuff going on. But I'm still more excited than nervous in the end. Soo...yea, hopefully that answers your question. :)

Unfortunately not.

Initially I was allowing myself water (to keep hydrated) and coffee (to combat drowsiness).

However, a whole bunch of people pointed out that drinking coffee was a pretty bad idea and could fuck up my stomach. So i decided to ban coffee as well.

To start with, I was drinking loads of water. But then I started pissing out my ass so i've laid back on the water as well.

I really can't wait for this to be over.
