Actually despite all the myths, it would be extremely healthy since your body has all the nutrients you need to go without any food for a month. The healthy part is you would not consume any unheallthy food at all.\n\nIt is a limited fast. A fast with only water may be slightly better, but you will still get almost all the benefits of fasting. Instead of getting opinions of people who never tried it, see site below with what 8 MDs say about fasting. It is a fast but with 3 V-8s a day added. Your body will still be dumping lots of toxins. Does V-8 have salt added? If so you do not want to use it. Click "home" page and look under anti-water for more on this. I am asuming it has only vegetables.

Definitely!  It is a way to draw closer to God.  Many times God calls for the fast himself.  One night I was seeking God throughout the night.  I finally fell asleep, spent.\n\nWhen I woke up I had knowledge that I was to fast.  So I asked God, "How long?"  "Three days." I heard.  "What if I get sick?" I asked (I have hypoglycemia).  He said "Eat fruit."\n\nThis was a fast called for by God.  I ate only fruit for three days.  It was a wonderful experience, and I drew very close to my God.\n\nBe careful, fasting is not a physical thing but a spiritual one.  Ask God if he will accept your fast before you go on it.

Yes...St. Patrick's Day is a feast day so you can break the fasting to enjoy it.  It's my theory as to why so many people celebrate St. Patrick's Day...as it's the only feast day in the 40 day fast of lent.\n\nActually...since Vatican II in the 60's you can eat meat on Friday anyway...the only fast days are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.  So once again ...enjoy!\n\nEnjoy....Erin Go Braugh!

it depends on the person, i mean there are people who have really low blood sugar and can absolutely not miss more then 2 meals, but then look at anorexic people that go like 8 hours, and then only eat like a carrot...\n\nif you mean eating entirely-humans can only last 3 weeks without any food.

In order to even come close, you would have to fast and only drink water & excercise for at least 2 hours a day. other than that it is virtually impossible to lose that much weight in that short of time sorry???

depends what type of fast.  to fast is to deprive the flesh of something it wants in order to better hear God's voice.  a way of putting the body under.  i fast from TV, and eat three meals a day. still a fast.\nfasting is on a personal level.  nowhere are we commanded to fast, and anyuone who tells you that you must is wrong in doing so. (suggesting it is another story)  \nand dont make a big deal about being hungry if you decide to go that way.\n\nmake sure you drink water, too.  you dont want to go without that unless you hear from God specifically to go without it.  (this is very rare, and i would pray very hard just on this subject if you feel so led)

I know you won't like this but if you try it out for a week you will be glad you did. Get up early and run for 30 minutes before work. I know it is so hard to get out of bed to run but if you make yourslef do it for 5 days in a row you will find that you have more energy all day and you will feel so great throughout the entire day like you really accomplished something. The second week will be way easier and you may even find yourself looking forward to it. During my morning run I think of everything positive in my life and my goals. I feel so impowered like I can conqure anything. That is a great way to stat your day. Eat a good dinner the night before with carbs and you won't need to eat breakfast first either. Have breakfst after your run to avoid a side ache. This is also the best way to loose weight without cutting calories. After a week you will really see the difference. In a few weeks you won't beleive how great you look and feel! Best of luck!

techniaccly speaking to lose 10kg in a week is really un healthy.  u'd have to pratically starve urself becuase of the amount of calories that u take in.  in one week you could not lose 10kg maybe in 2-3 weeks and thats with regular heart pumping excercise and a healthy diet and by excercise i'm talking at lest 60minutes a day or maybe more

It is posible but requires a little thought. As I dont know what your life style is I'll tell you how, then adapt it yourself.\nNo Alcohol at all.\nWalk at least 45 minutes every day at a good pace(dont kill yourself).\nCut your food intake down to 3 small meals per day with as little fat as possible.Plenty of breakfast, a medium size lunch and a small meal about6 o clock.\nNow, you are going to be hungry in between meals, Dont panic, eat pineapple,banana and other  fruit in between meals.Nuts are great too. (NOT PEANUTS).\nGet some light weights (5-20 lbs) and do 45 minutes every second day with a variation of repetitions.\nYou can do this. Just dont make it so hard that your body says NO THANKS. Good luck.I wish I could come and help you.Make sure that you eat, you need energy to do the work. Diets do not work.Remember , the fat wil disapear from all over the body not from one place. Remember also that the muscle you gain weighs more than the fat.If you dont see a weight reduction straight away dont panic it's muscle you are gaining.In two weeks you feel great. in four weeks you feel and look great.Then RETAIN that look.\n\nhttp://thebaldchemist.blogspot.com

If koresh419 was making a joke by telling you to fast for a week, it DEFINITELY was not funny. Fasting will not do anything but make you unhealthy, which is actually moving away from your goal. To purify your mind, body, intellect, and soul is the purpose of religion. It takes a lifetime to achieve. To purify your body you must take care of it and make healthy decisions. DO NOT go overboard with this, eating healhty hearty balanced meals is the key. Your body is a temple of God and you should take care of it out of reverence, not for external beauty. To purify yourself on the inside, which is the most important thing, work on your environment. Obviously, most of your environment is out of your control, however, you should still strive to surround yourself with good thoughts. Everything from the people you talk to the music you listen to has an effect on your mind, whether you want to admit it or not. Do not listen to degrading songs, even if they are catchy. Try to maximize the time you spend around people with similar spiritual goals as you. These are just some tips to help you get started, I hoped they helped!

There are different types of fasts and different fasing intervals.  Daniel had a "vegetable" fast, and ate no meat. Jesus neither ate or drank.  People have to choose a kind of fast they are comfortable with.  I used to have no food or juice at all, but now i have something very small right before i go to bed, so i will not get insomnia. Juice fasts are popular because of what you say.  I do not know if there is scripture for this, because it is up to the person and how they are felt lead by the holy spirit. You may do it different ways at different times.  If the focus is god during these times, then that is what is important.

There's actually a debate about this because Lent is supposed to be 40 days but, including Sundays, it's 46. If the world decided on a correct answer, I don't know about it. To you, I say do what you think. Give something up, don't give something up, eat it on Sunday, don't eat it on Sunday. Heck, don't eat it on Sunday but eat it every Friday.

As a health and phys ed teacher and nutrition nut - I would answer yes. The only thing I would really say is that it shouldn't be the whole day. Try to make it one a meal. You don't want to sabotage a whole weeks worth of great progress. One meal is totally except able. Its even mentioned in a very good book called the ABS Diet. Not eating these foods is to deny yourself. If u have nothing to look forward to in your diet than your setting yourself up for failure.\nModeration is ok - Remember 1 MEAL and that's it.
