Yes, I did, and yes, I was. IMHO, luck has nothing to do with it.

I'm not sure what you mean. What specifically about your health

prevents fasting?

How long did you fast til you went into ketosis?

 

I only do juice fasts. In fact I'm on day three of one now. My longest

fast was 28 days.

 

When I do it, I go into ketosis almost immediately. I never have bad

breath from it. I never get any negative effects from it. In fact,

after a couple of days my breath is sweeter, my sweat and farts don't

smell, and my urine is as clear as well water. I have no idea about

what people mean about getting a coated tongue, or any other signs of

" detoxifying " , because I've never personally experienced any of those

things.

I have a chronic neuromuscular and autoimmune condition, which affects my blood

sugar. If I go without food for too long, I will become dizzy and ill. That's

why I was thinking of a diluted juice fast- the calories from the juice would, I

hope, keep my sugar stable.

 

Thanks for the info!

Cool,

 

Tell me more about what types of juices you use ??? And what types of

activity that your energy would permit you to do considering the quickness of

digestion???
