after long fasting or diet...?
957470
Go slowly.\n\nReally slowly...\nThere are two extremes I've found that can come after fasting:\n#1. Hunger so extreme you want to eat yourself to death.\n#2. Complete apathy to the idea of eating any more, having become so used to not eating that you'd rather just sleep it off.\n\nBoth are harmful. I tend to get the second more than the first....  though thats largely because I don't "fast" in the conventional sense so much as just not bother eating for several days (I don't feel hunger any more, since I learnt to switch it off). \n\nYou need to work your way from your Ramadan (or whatever its called) routine back into a normal routine gradually... maybe by an hour or two a day either side... where you still don't eat in the middle, but allow yourself to eat in the rest of the time as it gradually draws in toward the middle. Don't overdo it at once in any instance... but gradually build up the amount you eat toward the norm again. That way you can get back into the usual eating routine without system-shock.... \n\nThen again... its not the food thats usually the problem. 12 hours without water isn't too fun....  though its got nothing on going 38 hours without water (my maximum before I lost it completely and stuck my head under a tap).\nDon't overdo it with the water either. Just drink a small cup every hour or so maybe....

Depends on how long and what you mean by fasting. Fasting is usually a bad idea, since you typically lose water and msucle, plsu you gain it all backThere are 3500 calories in a pound of fat. Safe weight loss is 1-2lbs per week. So, if you normally eat 1500 calories a day and ate nothing for a week, the most you could lose would be 3lbs of fat per week. Any extra weight loss would be from water and muscle. Of course, after one week of not eating you'd have bigger problems than being overweight (like dying), plus you'd gain it all back and then some once you started eating again. I am losing about 1 lb/wk by simply cutting my portion sizes and doing a little more exercise. So far I'm at about 8 lbs for 2 months. Not a lot of weight loss, but it's not a "diet" and over time 4lbs/month adds up.\n\nJohn

fresh is better of course\n\n\nAfter trying for 10 years. I finally lost 150+ lbs (12 stone) and kept it off for over 3 years now. I am now in amazing health, all around, not just thinner.\n\nI did it without medicine, workouts, religion, going hungry or hating my food and without an operation or secret formula. I had tried counting: calories; carbs; fat; etc. I had tried jogging, swimming, weights,  aerobics, crazy medicines and starving! But nothing ever worked well or lasted very long.\n\nI also had Hypertension, High Blood Pressure, Chronic Asthma, vision and hearing loss. constant colds and ills, annual flu or pneumonia and more. I was approved for bypass surgery and  taking usually between 16 and 20 pills a day.\n\ntake a look at my before and after pictures...\n---------------------------------------------------------------\nI'm Chris...\nhttp://www.fromsadtoraw.com/Journals/Chris/Pictures/RawPictures.htm\n\nhttp://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/personalgrowthnow/album?.dir=/bfa5&.src=ph&.tok=ph1YNpEBJB8qTLBg\n\nmore info:\nhttp://www.thelighthousewebworld.com/raw.htm

I have a big cup of coffee ...a shower then start picking up around the house..once you start to more you get the blood flowing with more oxygen...so you are less tired..\nsome eat a big breakfast..which to me isn't really wise..as when you fast you should start off with a small amount and have something later on ...protient  and fruit are  the most important part of a good diet..\ncarbs give you a quick boost,but you end up having a sugar low within a couple hours..that can cause you to get sluggish.

are you eating properly.  Honestly when your hungry you get dizzy, and headaches.  Then when you eat after fasting for a while it really will "run" right through you.  It could be hundred of diffent things, even stress, so only you know how bad it is go to your doctor if it alarms you further. good luck

It's been said, and I agree, that you should eat several very small bites of food a day.\n\nFor example my diet is as follows:\n\nBreakfast = 1 boiled egg & fruit smoothie\nMid-morning snack = Handful of mixed nuts (unsalted)\nLunch = cup of Chicken soup \nMid afternoon snack = Handful of seeds & nuts\nLight supper/dinner = Chicken breast with salad & juice\n\nOne answer said that your body goes into starvation mode - this is true. You need to keep your metabolism flowing - and you only do that by putting bits of energy through your system regularly.  Otherwise what happens is when you DO finally eat, your body will not use the energy, it will store as much of it as possible for future use. It will think there are not enough food resources around and it will stock the energy (turning into fat).\n\nBesides, eating one meal a day will not be sufficient over any length of time. Your nutrition will decrease and you will probably become ill after a while because your immune system will suffer.\n\nAll the best!

hi.\nI think the best way is to excersise and eating protein reach foods like eggs,milk,meat,etc after it.and you can increase the times you eat to for example 6 times a day:break fast,10 am,lunch,4 pm,8 pm and before sleeping

There are many people who go on long fasts of over a month, it's difficult but not necessarily dangerous as long as you are in good health and drink enough fluids.  Many drink a weak fruit juice or tea with some honey in order to keep up their blood sugar levels, especially on longer fasts.\n\nIn fact it's often good not to eat for a day at a time, helps to clean out your digestive system, and eliminate toxins.

One or two days off of any diet is not going to undermine your efforts. You are probably making any sickness worse by denying your body the vitamins/ minerals/ protiens it needs. If you feel like eating then eat! It doesn't have to be 3 Big Mac's and 2 Chocolate shakes, but get some nourishment. If you don't feel better in the morning see your doctor. You may need antibiotics, but give yourself a couple of days until you feel better then start the diet back. I mean, what good is being skinny if you are dead?

Honestly, you are not going to get decent or quality answers from this site as you are talking in terms most people don't understand.\n\nRegardless, if your FASTING sugar is that high (not VERY high.. but is starting to be worrying), you need to see a doctor for medical intervention if it is required.\n\nIf you have a history of strokes and HTN, you need to be more concerned yet.  Speak to a professional please.

I took a day off and ate a normal thanksgiving. I regret it now! I forgot what it's like to eat a lot of empty carbs and fat! It's funny how in my mind things like green bean casserole sounds so good, but it wasn't that good and I don't feel well because of it. \n Tomarrow, a double work out!\n\nGood for you for sticking to your new eating regime!

http://www.freedomyou.com/fasting_book/water%20fasting.htm\n\nI just ended a 14 day water fast and lost 20 pounds. Its very hard to do. You have to be determined. Also I am 5'8 and 139 started at 159. Both are in the normal range for my height. High and low end. In order to reap the benifits though you have to make some type of lifestyle change to your eating habits or like any "Diet" you will gain it right back. I lost 90 pounds a little over a year ago and have maintained it by eating right and exercising daily. I wanted to enter a fitness competition and needed to drop 20  more which is why I water fasted. I also have a lot of muscle and you dont want to deplete that by water fasting too long. Your body has stores or reserves similiar to a squirrel or animal that stores for the winter. In order for your body to go into starvation mode as many people speak of you have to fast for 30 days or more. Fasting for 10 days to two weeks is not a bad thing as there are also health benifits to be gained by doing it. It removes toxins and impurities from the body. As with any diet or exercise you just cant overdue it. And remember no "Diet" works it needs to be a lifestyle change. Good luck

The correct term is FASTING. Sustaining from food for a certain amount of time. The reason why your tongue is white and fury is your body is getting rid of the bad toxins and it is telling you that the fast is working. If you are doing a 7 day water fast you are alsmot done. Great Job! Make sure you pray or meditate. Only eat fruits and vegetables for 2 days when the fast is complete.

What worked for me was drinking more water. Sometimes it seemed like I was hungry, but my body wanted water, not food. Instead of just plain water I'd make some Crystal light or sugarless Kool aid also. (just water gets "boring" after a while!)

My recommendation is to stop eating after 7:00 pm or 3-4 hours before you go to bed.  Increase the amount of water you drink each day at least an 8 oz glass every hour.  Also start walking each day, start out slow and short distances and increase your distance and speed each time you walk.  Watch what you eat, keep a food journal for two weeks and see if there are any patterns that you can change.  Try to stay away from the fast food places, they are high in fat.  If you need additional help I can get you a wonderful product that you add to water and it helps, of course it is all natural stuff and will not harm your body.
