Guest guest Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 What kind of fast could you do if you are hypoglycemic? I am thinking of trying a liver flush this weekend. ~Beth L > > HI GG, > I mostly do water fasts.

Of course, when I first started fasting, I had hunger issues, so I know they can be difficult, but it is more of a mental challenge at that point. By the second day, hunger issues usually disappear, and are not bothersome. Have you been able to go long enough to get past the hunger? > > It sounds as if you should probably stick with juice fasting with your metabolism, for the calories...or if you try water only fasting, to do it with supervision. The one thing that fasting will do is to help slow down a too-fast metabolism, but of course, for some that can mean weight gain. (studies have shown that those who fast or undereat live longer than those who overeat.)

However, for some it is definitely a good idea to only undertake it with assistance from a doctor who understands it. There are things they can watch for, like your electrolyte balance, to know when it is time to go off the fast. Thin people can fast with water only successfully. > Let me know if you do it! > Patty > > > > Re: Did liver flush > > > hi patty; > > cant remember if youve said, but do you juice or water fast? i get so hungry at nite ( i can stand the day), even if i juice. do you take anything at nite so you can sleep w/out hunger?

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 hi patty; i would have to do greens on fasting, as juices would bother me. but i've tried fasting for only a day before, and could hardly stand the hunger at nite. when i did one liver flush, the epsom salt will keep you from hunger, but i'm allergic to it, so a chiro. suggested the cascara sagrada. havent tried it yet - but was so uncomfortable last time, i really dread doing, even tho i really need, i'm sure. i read recently that adding 6 T food grade h2o to qt. of distilled water for enema was good to do, but can't remember where i heard this, if it was on the silicone group or not. do you know anything about it? thanks. gg \ i read recently to do i think it was 6 T of food grade h20 with, i think a qt. of distill water for doing enema, and cant remember if i got that from the silicone group or not. do you know anything about this?
