I need a fasting buddy.

i understand how u feel about wantin to cleanse ur body and lose weight..but i feel obligated 2 tell u that fasting 4 2 whole weeks is extremely unhealthy vs cleansing ur body..u should ask ur doctor for body cleansin ideas and youtube that show i think its called "The doctor"..a guest on tha show was doin the same thing and they spoke on it..

besides depriving ur body of food means deprivin ur body of nutrients it need like vitamins and proteins..all im sayin is please research fastin before u hurt ur body..and it is a known fact that when u starve urself ur body will start to lose muscle (and muscles help burn fat) also when u do start eatin again ur metabolism will be slowed down so u will GAIN weight faster

great luck in watever u chose 2 do

i think u should at some communities or forums dedicated to losing weight..

I know it's a late reply, but if ever you want a fasting buddy, feel free to email me (hoffy_boy89@hotmail.com).

I'm starting one in 2 days (going for 21 or 30 days depending on how I feel) and hope to find someone to keep me motivated for the first 5 days which are always the hardest... (as well as someone to chat about it to in general, cause most people just don't 'get it'.)

On that note, I think your response to kim's post was fairly harsh... it's fair enough to see fasting as a ridiculous idea, because we're brought up to believe we need food daily... and it's a pretty hard topic to find any alternative information on.

It's just that when we get defencive towards people who are uneducated about it, they're hardly going to be encouraged to try & understand.

Then again, the lack of knowledge about it does give us the whole "secret weapon" edge... so maybe we should discourage them! lol.
