"Disclaimer: DON'T DO THIS YOU COULD DIE! SEE A DOCTOR" Hi, I've been having health issues (hernia, back pain, headaches, dizziness, the need to binge eat, bad skin, smelly armpits even after just washing, overweight, mental acuity degradation & I've been mostly sedentary). I needed to make a change. In the past I've dunk too much alcohol, eaten too much food, not been active enough & had very poor sleeping habits & poor nutrition. I had to make a change to not only my lifestyle but to my mental health. I found some reading on Ketosis http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/180858.php that got me interested. I found it because I was google searching my own name "Ketobbey" & Keto-sis caught my eye so I read up on it. Then I looked into how to best get the body into a state of ketosis the fastest. Water Fasting was the main answer. I started to do about a month worth of studies on water fasting & it's overall effect. I found that apart from weight loss of about 35grams a day through exhaling carbon from you mouth & nose that water fasting may give the body a chance to repair itself. I got very interested in the "repairing" of the body. I read that if the body does not have to use energy on processing foods (& the chemical crap that is in our foods to keep is so called fresh) & could instead use that energy to heal itself. Interested but sceptical I did further research. I read a lot of claims. Claims like, your pancreas will heal & you'll not have diabetes, your skin conditions like eczema would be cured, or, lumps & rashes would vanish, scars would vanish because they are just dead flesh anyway. But out of all the things I read the one thing that really caused me to stop & think about things for a few days was "Cancer is not being feed & therefore would reduce in size". My mother passed from cancer when I was 14. So my interest in doing the water fast was so high I started to prepare to give it a go myself. I walked 7,500 steps a day for a week. I walked 10 thousand steps a day for a week & a half after the first week. I then gave up coffee & all caffeine over 2 weeks & got headaches & the "fake caffeine withdrawal flu". I felt like rubbish while my body withdraw from caffeine. But if the water fast was able to repair some of the damage I had done to my body, then it would all be worth it I told myself. I found good preparation was key to good success. I purchased 60Liters of water & got ready to settle in for the next 28 days. My goal was 28 days but due to lower blood sugar of 3.5 & a constant headache & micro shaking I ended my water fast early but more on the later. I contacted my doctor 1 week before I started & they got a baseline of my vitals. The doctor gave the all clear & at first they were worried about anyone doing a water fast. They did some research them self to better support me & motivate me. Finding a good doctor is important. I made appointments to see my doctor every Tuesday & Friday for the fasting period. I had given up caffeine & I had my water & plenty of understanding about the warning signs & what I was about to start doing. I felt I was ready. In my reading & watching what some others had gone through I read that people after the first 3 days stopped having a desire for food. This was not the case for me. I was hungry from day 3 until day 24. I noticed on the 3rd day my tongue had turned white in color & that my face looked a little thinner. By the 7th day I noticed there was a slimming over my whole body but it was not a drastic change but a very all over change. By the 14th day I was full of energy but losing the desire to engage in things I liked to do normally & when doing these activities I got sleepy & found it to be more hard work that a relaxation it used to be. Playing video games felt the same. My friends noticed the change & got worries & some stopped supporting me. I tried to explain to them when I first started the fast that around the 14th day period these things would happen but they made up their own minds. It was disheartening but made me even more determined to press on. By day 21 I found my self laying in bed most of the day as sitting up was making me feel super hungry & it seemed like the only way to stop the hunger was to do not much of anything. So I started to binge watch TV shows on my phone while I lay there & took naps from time to time. Day 23 I saw my doctor & got my blood work results back. Low vitamin D was the only issue. Everything else was fine & good. Get more sun & that would sort itself out. But my Blood sugar when tested on the day was 3.6 & 3.7 is the lower limit. Lower than 3.7 & your brain is not getting feed, this will lead to dizziness & shakes & headaches I was told. Day 24 I was not good as I said before & did a blood sugar test & the result was 3.5 & I was having all the symptoms of being hypoglycemia. It was time to stop the water fast & I drank carrot & mango juice. It tasted so good. That link: https://youtu.be/E484qiQXxzM
