[saj1985]

hey peeps i was wondering if anyone else has tried it?

Well he has lost the body fat around his intestines, when I had a perforated bowel about three/four years ago from diverticular disease I was in hospital for 8 days on a nill by mouth diet and only intravenous rehydration and I.V. antibiotics. When after 8 days I was finally been allowed to eat a meal I was discharged home to recover completely. Before returning to work a further three weeks later after the all clear was givien following a colonoscopy I jumped on the scales and had lost 1 1/2 stone, but felt like an invalid and my rheumatoid arthritis bothered me a lot. It was only when I put my high viz vest back on to go to work I realised just how much my body shape had changed as my vest which had been bursting the velcro was hanging off me.

Yes but if you only managed it for two days each week that would lose you weight in time and you would not be unhealthy with it, it is actually called the five two diet
exantediet

Holy sh!t. I don´t even drink it

I tried that one...was a pain waking up at 5 to each hour just to have a snack though....

(Seriously, I did give it a go and it does work, though you have to be strict with your regime)

This young guy was even heavier than I was and I'm 6'1, if your a Muslim then this is like Eid X 28 days, thats some hardcore fasting, I'm surprised he lasted the first week let alone the 28 days, mental.

I lost about 10kg (about a Stone and a half?) after having pancreatic surgery last year. Mainly because I couldn’t actually eat and keep anything down at all for about 5 days afterwards, and barely anything for the few weeks after that. I was just having fluids through a drip at first.

It took me 10 days to loose a stone & a half! Lol Lost the stone in like 5 days, but yeah you definitely loose weight even if you just have a sickness bug for a few days.

28 days without food? Hard to believe that, 3 weeks without food, 3 days without water, 3 minutes without air, he should be dead...

Of course, if he replaced "food" with those drinks that contain mushed up food, then, technically he's had food...

I couldn't do any kind of fasting, if I don't eat during the day I will pass out, my blood sugar drops to dangerous levels.
