eh, can't even think of porn. and wouldn't ice water force the stomach to burn more calories trying to warm it up? I see, you're tryin to sabotage me ain't ya. i really wish i hadn't started. cuz now i won't quit.
No, really chew the ice, it seems to comfort the mind...ice water does burn more calories than room temp water that is true- but, the stimulation of chewing seems to trick the brain and hunger pains. Besides, if your going 10 days calories become irrelevant. Your already working on such a calorice deficency that losing a couple of more doesn't matter. The reward of chewing over rides the loss of calories. Trust me..I've gone almost 9 days before. Chewing ice works. It also revs up your metabolism
Ok forget about the porn- hey I was just trying to get your mind off food.

thanks for the tip *heads towards freezer*
well ive gone 5 days with no food and im below 25 so if i can do it so can you good luck with your quest (granted i did it so others could eat but i did it by choice)so i know you can too
Dude, please be careful, the worst part is when you do get to eat again, sounds strange huh. Check with a doctor about what foods you can eat after such a fast, if you eat meat, you will have stomach pains so bad you will think you are dying. People get hospitalized because they wanna have a nice meal at the end of their fast, dont do it. I know that jello is a good starter food.
Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property... Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them.
I've gone five hours without food before and it's difficult for me to start back up. I can only do an 8 oz. filet. Those 12 oz. ones will kill you.

LeaveThisLifeGuy you have inspired me. I too am gonna fast......wait I said that wrong. I am gonna cook my breakfast fast (yeah that's it) so as the wafting smell of the bacon and french toast will not reach you. Hey anything we can do to help you with your quest.
Leave This Life Guy -- I PROMISED TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT I ORDERED! So here it goes!
Funny that Rick mentioned filet -- The place had MEDALLIONS OF TENDERLOIN OSCAR as a special. OMG! Two 6 ounce tenderloins grilled to perfection (medium rare, of course, and with a perfect Bernaise sauce) BURIED IN LUMP CRAB MEAT! (Yeah, I asked for extra crab.) As always, it came with tender spears of grilled asparagus. Potato pancakes. No beer - no wine. Just a diet Coke with lime - I've been watching my weight. I even skipped desert in favor of a warm snifter of B & B.
So, have you starved to death yet?

yep, this officially sucks. I'll most likely give in at lunch. i fully respect the guys that make it past day three. i didn't really sleep at all last night. i normally have really bad heartburn, take two to three zantacs a day, but haven't had it since i started, till last night. by then, it had been about sixty hours since i'd eaten, so i didn't know what taking a pill would do if you haven't eaten in that long. heartburn got worse, couldn't sleep at all. maybe got two hours total. thought i would do better than three days, terribly disappointed... but i haven't failed yet (just probably will)
Whether you quit or not is entirely up to you ltlg, I was going to make a couple of cheerleader noises, but...nobody here can tell you what to do about this. I will say this however, there's no failure attached to what you've done if you ...if you quit today you've succeeded at a three day fast. There's a lesson in everything.
some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"
Trax, you're just like me. Encouragement has always been my forte!

On the heartburn thing, try elevating the head of your bed. You can place a 2x4 (or your wife's favorite book) under the head. Raising the head of your bed a bit will allow gravity to keep your tummy stuff where it should be.

Also on the heartburn thing - you may want to check with your doc. Could be acid reflux (I have it) Over time it can cause what is called Barrets Esophagus which can lead to esophagial cancer. Have your doc check it out.
As Trax said look at it like you suceeded three days (I'll bet you can make four if you stop reading this thread). It's kind of like a 2 person 100 yard dash. At the conclusion my opponent may say "I won and you lost" I prefer to look at it like - I came in second place, while you came in next to last.
what is this? a union website? nothin like you brothers and sisters to stab you in the gut nice support people, can just how it would be at a gathering. you poke the bear no you poke the bear, lets get remy to do it he'll poke anything ( actually that used to be my problem but the wife frowns on that) with that i'll close for now..
always be prepared-prepare all ways

In honor of LeaveThisLifeGuy's efforts, lunch today is a simple blueberry yogurt. Colombo 6 oz. size. Not long ago, it was an 8 oz. size. Same price, though.

I once did a four day fast, no food or water and part of the deal was I had to stay in a specific area. I had friends who came and sat just outside my 'border' and would bring KFC or take out burgers and eat in front of me. That was a little tough.
some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"
