Starvation...

[Alpine_Sapper]

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.

You're body will only burn like 10 extra calories a day trying to warm up the water. over the course of 10 days that's like 100 calories. Equivalent to a peice of bread. You'll honestly burn more calories chewing it than you will warming it up.

And at this point, I bet the food network channel is more of a porno for you than any of the xxx stuff.

Hey, LeaveThisLifeGuy,

Any suggestions for dinner? Be nice, now. Remember, I've been supportive of your efforts.

BROKE

just under three days. very disappointed. the bbq did me in. ate a plate. went home. threw it all up. so... maybe i'll keep going

[crashdive123]

Just because you wasted the food....counter starts a zero.

[trax]

LTLG, consider that most of our modern society never do anything to upset their own comfort level or test themselves in any way. What's to be disappointed? All food joking aside, I'd recommend you start off with something nice and simple like some cut up fruit and maybe a bowl of chicken or beef broth. Get back into addressing your appetite properly tomorrow. Worst thing you can do right now is over-eat, as evidenced by the vomiting of the bbq...

dry toast, boiled rice, weak tea. Nothing fancy. Plain and simple. A good way to help replenish the electrolytes is a quart of water, a pinch of salt and a handful of molasses. Great for diarrhea as well. It will keep you from becoming dehydrated.

LeaveThisLifeGuy,

I thought about your effort throughout my entire visit to the all you can eat Chinese Buffet. Little did I know that, just around the time I was tossing down my 5th. Peking Dumpling, even before I finished my 11 plates of food (actually, 1 was wonton soup and two were desert, so they don't count) you were barfing and praying to the porcelin god.

Honestly, I commend you for going 3 days. The only times I was able to do that was when I was got slammed with kidney stones or when I simply didn't have time to stop and eat. Law School, just like you.

They say you also lose your appetite after a major operation, such as sex change surgery. Maybe that would help if you wanted to try fasting again?

Now, do ya' wanna' hear about the buffet?

Life is short so three days is outstanding.

Besides, it's hard to walk away from BBQ pork.

sipping a gatorade will help to.

i always restart using rice and also ckicken soup

You want something soothing to your digestive system. Something with just the right balance of filtered water, natural ingredients, yeast to restart healthy intestinal flora growth, and premium botanicals.

One product comes to mind.

Beer.

thanks all for the support. puked it all up and still haven't eaten again just because i'm angry. i'll probably start reintroducing light food like y'all said tomorrow some time. the hardest part is knowing that i wouldn't be eating anything for such a long time. if i try again, which i'm going to, gonna tell myself its only two days. when two days are up, i'll say two more days, etc. I swear, the thought of not putting anything in my mouth (ha ha) for another week really does some psychological stuff, or at least for me it did.

[Ken]

If you try again, you just may want to stay offline for a week or so.

[LeaveThisLifeGuy]

probably a good idea

[DOGMAN]

I'm telling ya' try a 10 day Master Cleanse, then undergo a series of 7 colonics in 7 days and you will feel like a different person.

like any addiction, take it one day at a time. And remember, with food, this to will pass...or you will pass it...whatever. Unless you opt for the colonic. Then it won't pass, but flow.

[LeaveThisLifeGuy]

you guys can't be serious about the colonics? 7 in 7 days... ouch!

[crashdive123]

No, not ouch......just wooosh!

rofl. gatoraide, protein powder, sheesh. I mean, for a bunch of guys who eat grubs and stuff for fun you're worried about a little thing like *taste* or *texture*?
