To answer a question number one\nI have fasted for seven days having nothing but water.  I was able to eat a normal meal on my second day of eating.  I stopped my fast by drinking a glass of juice, and I think I had a bowl of soup.  By the second day I was able to eat normally.  \nTo answer your second question\nI believe we be more difficult to to keep your faith as it were, if you were buried underground, or in a submarine deep under the water.\nThird question\nI am a very positive person.  As I have lived as a street person for over a year at one point in my life.  So I turned it into a camping trip.  I also was in a wheelchair at one point in my life.  I was told I may never walk.  In a desperate situation I think that I would be positive longer than some of the other people that I may be trapped with because of these experiences in my life.\nQuestion number four\ndepending on the type of emergency if I were trapped say in an earthquake, the first thing I would ask my rescuers is to know where my wife is?  If I were trapped in a situation where I was alone(without my wife) I think I would simply say thank you.

10 kg is big number and most probably you are not going to achive it. However you can try just drinking water for the whole week.\n\nI know it is possible. I have met people who have faster for 30 days with just water. My brothers and my parents have done the same(not for reducing weight though). \n\nImportant point in this type of fasting is how you break the fast after the fasting period. And this is very critical for the recovery.

Well, this is kinda a good question.  B/C after you are done eating the meat you become a vegetarian again until you eat meat again.  So technically you could say you were a vegetarian between meals or for short periods of time (5-6 hours).  Hmm...

I went 4 days without eating or drinking when my Fiance went back to Iraq, I was so scared something would happen to him and I missed him so much that I did nothing but cry. Longest without sleep was probably a day and a half.

Depends on you body . But some people could stay 30 days without eating .\nAnd I must tell you here , that there are some health places in America , which ask patints to fast for long periods ( between 3 days until 30 days ) .\nAll of that under medical control !!!!

i just came off of a 5 day fast, and you really dont want to do it. yes i lost weight, but i felt dizzy, i almost fainted, i had a constant headache, and i was in a bad mood the whole time. the reason i stopped was because my boyfriend asked me to, and im glad he did because i started eating yesterday and i feel so much better. i really dont recomend fasting.if you want to talk more then just IM me.

I fast once a week for 24 hours at a stretch. During that time, I do not eat solid foods, but I do have many sorts of liquid, including nutritional shakes, fruit juice, V8, lots of water, etc. It doesn't do any harm when it is of such short duration. I have fasted for up to 3 days before, and I'd say that is as long a time as I ever want to drag out a fast. I imagine you could go longer if you were careful to maintain a good balance of nutritional fluids.\n\nI often have days where I only think of the food I'm not eating when I fast, but I then make myself remember why I do it, which is for discipline and solidarity with my husband, who also does it. I think of the fact that if I can voluntarily go without food for 24 hours, then I have a sort of structure and discipline in my life. Spiritually, there are ups and downs, but it helps me to focus on real problems without the nagging "what's for dinner" thought. It removes a level of mundanity from life and allows one to focus on important questions or gain insights. I'm only halfway through my morning coffee, so I hope that made some sense!\n\nP.S. I imagine that even someone with metabolic problems or diabetes could do it if the liquids contain the proper nutrients.

Fasting?\nIn my experience and observation fasting nowadays is for most of us not like fasting was 50 years ago!\n\nWe do no longer live in a natural world, and our body is filled with preservatives and toxins, now also shaff from air, food and water. Medicine even found that bodies keep longer fresh after death than about 50 years ago. Why would this be so?\n\nAll the preservatives people have eaten during their life preserved their body, of course not at death, but they were preserved alive! That's why many do not feel when they fall ill until it is severe.\n\nWhen we fast, the body is not burdoned to take care of more food, more toxins and preservatives, transfats etc., but starts to clean out. This cleansing may be so powerful that the toxins, thrown out of our tissues and bones, may make us sick. That's why fasting for days is not good for everyone. Beans are great to help control a too speedy cleanse.\n\nWhen cleansing too fast, we may have a strong acid reaction and even die from it. Indeed, a man died when fasting on juices for about 2 weeks! He cleansed too fast for the pollution he carried!\n\nThe sun is also cleansing, and I am convinced that not the sun causes skin cancer, but the toxins it draws to the surface of the skin! A clean body does not get skin cancer from the sun in my estimation! The sun allows the body to make vitamin D, necessary for strong bones and teeth! Many children today avoid the sun for fear of skin cancer, but are fed food full of preservatives and toxins! What a paradox world!\n\nHow can we wisely cleanse?\n\nBest is to prepare for a fast by eating vegetables for some days, non starchy and easy to digest food. The empty starches (white sugar, white flour and all containing them) imbalances our blood sugar. At first it goes high up after eating these empty starches, then it falls way down, which gives us hunger pangs. Animal products are mainly highly acid-forming, which the body tries to eliminate when cleansing. This may even cause a stench! Great, it is coming out!\n\nWhen we stop eating empty starches, we will not feel so hungry any longer. Brown sugar is better, whole grain flour is better. Flour from sprouted grains is best.\n\nAfter being prepared, with blood sugar balanced, it may help to fast on vegetable juices, may be carrot juice with a slice of beet in it. Teas, like green tea or herbal tea are good to use. Or purified water, yet I feel some nourishment is necessary for most (vegatable juices).\n\nWhen one gets too weak or spacy, one should break off the fast with some light food (vegetables, oatmeal with cinnamon and brown sugar etc.), I feel. One can repeat a day of fasting the next week or once a month. \n\nA good and alkaline-forming diet (mainly vegetables and some fruit, fruit may cleanse too fast) is also cleansing, but in a gentle way. Some raw organic, sunripened food inbetween will help to cleanse and build the body.\n\nFurthermore, Color*MedicineTM can be applied, it is like food, for the body can easily absorb the rays and build tissues, muscles and bones (www.colormedicine.com).\n\nYou may want to check your pH (urine and saliva) several times a day (and even make a list), and see if you are too acid, which would run down your body. A pH of 7.5 of urine and saliva is best in my experience. 7 is neutral and not good for the body; under 7 is acidic and may cause all kinds of problems. You can buy pH paper in your health food store or on the Internet.\n\nHappy cleansing, the wise way.\nCordially, India.Magica

Fast Sunday......We eat dinner on Saturday......we do not eat Sunday breakfast or lunch and then end the fast with dinner on Sunday.  So it is almost 24 hours.  Many saints then give the money that would have been used on breakfast and lunch to the church to help feed the less fortunate.

go on a fast. that doesnt mean to just stop eating completly. you eat fruits and vegetables for the first 2 days, then you dont eat anything for the next 3 days, and for the last 2 days you eat fish. you will also have to take vitamins the whole time you are on the fast. for the 3 days that you are not eating you should drink tomato juice. that worked pretty good for me.

Generally that would be a good number, but it depends on when it was taken and the sircumstances.  If that is your reading more than 2 hrs after you have eaten or drank anything other thatn water, that would be ok.  If that is your reading after you had recently eaten, you could be hypoglycemic (low blood sugar).  It is usually best to check your BS reading at least 2 hrs after you have eaten, and not in the morning (some people have naturally elevated readings in the morning).  As always with any health related issues, you should take the advice of your doctor and not rely on board like this one.

It takes less than 5 seconds not to eat that extra piece of bread.... and a half hour to burn it off at a jog ( 140 calories) I would cut the food down
