I have claimed to have done a 7 day fast. I went without food for roughly 36 hours or so and felt pretty good.

Scared, is this what you did?

I just want to be sure we are all clear which types of fasting others did. There was someone else on the forum that did a fast where they didn’t eat any food during the day, but did only during the evening hours and he didn’t have any improvement.
A true water fast is quite different and has many proven health benefits. I’m not saying other types of fasting aren’t healthy, but it doesn’t seem as though any of the other types of fasting have not worked for other guys on the forum as well.
Boston - yes, that was it. It is primarily used for weight loss and to reset your body balance. I needed both but really for me it did not help.
I did not do a true water fast - this has no food - the only calories are from the maple syrup in the lemonaid/pepper water.
I’m on my fifth day of a water only fast. And let me tell you, this is no fun. I’ve never felt so weak in my life and i have dropped close to ten pounds in just five days. This would be no problem if I were a fatty boy but I was already only 156 (71kg) pounds, now I’m 145 (66kg). I will mention that I’m 6.4" (186cm)tall…
I think Ive lost some muscle mass and definitely some fat but I will probably have to end this fast tomorrow, as when I started the fast I promised myself not to let my weight drop below 142 pounds.
I have not yet felt any sexual benefits.
I do have dreams more often and I think I am more calm and relaxed than before but this may be a placebo effects as I am so weak that I dont have any energy to even care about anything so therefore I dont even get stressed.
I’d love to go 10 days to see if I get more benefits but at this point I am feeling too weak and am scared of the huge weight drop.
I have been fantasizing about food more than ever before in my life and I am SO looking forward on having some warm soup probably tomorrow!
I’m planning to have a fast, but I’m very skinny, so it’s not that simple.
Has anyone read Arnold Ehret’s “Mucusless Diet Healing System”?
At 31, he was diagnosed with Bright’s disease (inflammation of the kidneys) by Dr G. Riedlin, and pronounced incurable by 24 of Europe’s most respected doctors.
In a desperate attempt to end his health problems, Ehret decided to stop eating, and was surprised to find that he did not starve, but gained in strength and vitality. Due to his new lifestyle, Ehret claimed to have cured himself of his diseases and to be able to perform feats of physiological strength, including a 1000 mile bicycle trip from Algiers to Tunis which he undertook with the trained athlete in under 14 days.

I love reading stuff like that. Very interesting.
Humans can go a long time without food and on the web there are many people that claim that their energy levels increased while fasting.
Just did 14 days and started re feeding on juice tonight, I’ll let you know of any improvements in the coming days/weeks.
Did you also have improvements Kentuckey?
Not a whole lot of improvement, my scrotum is not as cold as it was before so I believe that blood flow has improved but other than that, not much improvement. How about you dmpauley?
Sorry to hear that. I didn’t attempt a fast as I was waiting to her the results from you and another member. I will still attempt a 3 day fast just to kick start detox. I’m feeling a little better today after taking 6 pills of Vitrix yesterday. Getting slightly horny with nice wood. I will cycle this once a week or five days as a treatment (not a cure). My balls were up most of the day along with less pain on the right side confirming my theory that my pain and scrotum drop isn’t because of my slight varicocele (2.6mm left and 2.4mm right). It seems logical to me that their is an association between hormones and the network of arteries and veins associated with the testicles and penis. Keep in touch with your therapies.

@Scaredtodeath…Hello there. I was curious how long did you fast for? Thank you.
I wouldn’t rule out candida as a reason why the fasting works.
It remains one of my prime suspects and I’ve had this PFS for over 7 years. I always come back to it.
My reasoning is that when I took 50mg of iodine per day along with threelac (kills candida) I had a massive candida dump. I know it was candida cause I know what it looks like.
The biggest way to kill candida is to starve it - fasting is the ultimate candida killer.
Not trying to derail this thread, just somthing to keep in mind.
How much muscle can you lose in a water fast? Usually how long does it take to regain what you lose?
today i’m on my 6th day of fasting and i can’t feel any benefits. I only have sexual problems, i think i have all the sexual problems one can have and this fasting is worsening them, my penis is smaller both resting and especially in erection, it is much thinner as if the fact i’m not eating is starving my penis, erection is very difficult to achieve, very difficult to maintain and it is not full at all, i can’t even call it erection, my glans is permanently small, even when the rest of the penis is quite erected, those 3 issues, penis size, e.d. and glans are much worse than before starting the fasting. Should i break the fasting? Can ejaculating/having sex/masturbating effect the result of the fasting?
