diet consists of 10 days water only no food no noting just water
Water Fast
You can fast from 1 to 40 days. Try to drink 2 liters of water or more per day.
The ten day water fast has become a recommended number of days. Ten days on water will cause the same weight loss as 30 days on juice. But water fasting is far more difficult, especially if you have a fast metabolism. Water fasting cleanses the body aggressively removing toxins rapidly. Water fasting can be more beneficial than juice fasting in combating more persistent forms of cancer, cleansing the tissues more aggressively. Water fasting demands mental preparation, the less pressure and responsibility you have during a water fast the better. Think of it a holiday away form the normal patterns of living. Some recommend that the week before your fast, you drink fresh juices and eat mostly raw fruits and vegetables to cleanse the body so that the detoxification during water fasting will be less aggressive. Water fasting should always include two of three days of juice fasting before and after the water fast. This alternating between juice and water fasting is the most effective method of achieving a full cleansing through fasting.
Water Fasting Tips
Avoid water straight from the faucet. Distilled water is the best for cleansing because of its inherent, magnetic properties and ability to absorb and suspend large quantities of toxins, flushing them from the body. The perceived value of mineral water is misleading because the inorganic minerals are like huge boulders to the cellular membranes, making them impossible to assimilate. Plants are able to break down the minerals from the soils, allowing them to be completely absorbable to the cells of the body. The best water is distilled, secondly, spring or filtered.
Proteins & Fasting
It was theorized that protein loss during fasting was harmful and that a fast should be supplemented with protein. Fasting with protein became known as the Opti-fast. Fasters took nothing but water and a protein drink. Sadly, several people died. Protein digestion during the fasting state created an overload of urea and the blood become acidic. In this condition, the organs become more damaged instead of healing. To the body, fasting is a natural process. During water or juice fasting, the protein levels of the blood remain constant. Although protein is being utilized, a person fasting 40 days on water will not suffer a deficiency of either protein, vitamins, minerals or fatty acids. In the breakdown of dying and diseased cells, all essential substances are available while fasting for reuse within the body. These dead cells are utilized in a systematic manner.
Protein deficiency is non existent in North America. You never hear of anyone being diagnosed with protein deficiency. Fruit and vegetable juices have water-soluble highly absorbable proteins. The body has a store of protein, and it uses it selectively. Dying cells are the first to be used and healthy and vital tissues are the very last and will only be used as a last resort. Only during starvation is protein being stripped from healthy tissue to be used to survive. This may take 30 to 80 days of fasting on water to reach this point.
The systematic searching of cells to be metabolized is crucial in the healing of cancer. A cancer cell represents protein and calories. Some cancers are so persistent that you have to force the body to choose between healthy cells and cancer cells. This requires a long fast on small portions of juice combined with days of water fasting.
Remember Biology, not propaganda.
Here I will be conservative in my response, as I must once again point out that several, if not most, of these "opinions" stem from fear of the unknown, or fear and lack of study from those who feel they know it all.
Since I imagine most have studied biology in school, then try to remember that:
1.) We were taught that the body does not attack itself, unless it is grossly sick (like cancer). The body nurtures, cleans and regenerates itself, attacking only what shouldn't be there.
If you are a Christian then you believe that Jesus fasted for 40 days, and people in general may fast for Spiritual, Health or other personal reasons... and if they are doing it for losing weight, then their motivation may stem from the same as body builders.
Muscle is the last thing your body will consume when starving yourself, and starvation takes place after a month or more. Fasting is not starving, though you might hear it as an offhand remark; taking it literally is quite the uneducated thing to do.
and
2.) We also learned that the human body gets most of its protein from plants, and it also digests this protein so much easier than what comes from meat. Meat is unecessary to build muscle when you have a superior protein from plants (remember your biology class!!!). And what of Elephants, Apes, Horses, Deer? They eat absolutely no meat and these animals are strong, some carrying trees, ripping their adversaries apart with their bare hands, dragging farm equipment and locomotives all day long... They eat no meat.
Are we carnivorous like the lion, dog, wolf, cat, etc.? Why do they have so many unique characteristics which set them apart from us when it comes to eating meat? They have a very simple and short digestive system, only 3 times the length of their bodies for quick expulsion of putrefactive bacteria of rotting flesh. They also have 10 times as much hydrochloric acid to digest fibrous tissue because flesh decays quickly, and the products of this decay quickly poison the bloodstream if they remain too long in the body.
Think twice before stating ignorant propaganda to sell you on commercial goods, and remember that though we enjoy our Western way of life, it is a Capitalistic culture. (Btw, protein is overated, more illnesses come from too much protein, than lack of it).
