Eating disorder expert Joanne Labiner likened Water Fasting to conditions like anorexia and said it should be avoided, especially at a time of year when people are considering slimming down after Christmas.
She said: It can be so bad for your organs. Thats why people with anorexia can die of a heart attack. Their body feeds on their heart.
Our body thinks its an emergency and tries to prevent that fat storage from being used up, and it feeds on the muscle.
On social media site Twitter dieters claimed that the Water Fast left their skin looking amazing.

NHS guidelines say that if you want to lose weight you should lose no more than 2lbs a week if you want it to be sustainable.
Kidney specialist Dr Jason Fung, said that short term fasting worked but only for certain patients. He suggested that water fasts were appropriate for clients who are obese or have Type 2 diabetes but only under the supervision of a doctor.
He said: It can be done, people do them, but they have to be done safely.
I dont think its the safest thing to do, but if youre obese, its not the most dangerous thing, either. If youre relatively slender, its more dangerous. Dr Fung, who wrote a book called The Complete Guide to Fasting, added: The longer you (fast) the more risks you take.

That was John the Baptist’s diet. Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights, eating nothing.
Dude, your inability to argue a point is pathetic.
>Meanwhile, in reality land:
What are you 12 years old? Come back when you have an actual argument to make instead of standard minimal derping.

Meanwhile, the FACT is the U.S. Military seems to be doing just fine with all them evile carbs - despite your failed historical extirpation of the present REALITY.
FASTING
The word (tsuwm) never occurs in the Pentateuch. The Mosaic law, though directing minutely the foods to be eaten and to be shunned, never enjoins fasting.

Thats interesting. Doesnt seem to be any single formal definition of what fasting was supposed to be... other than, per Jesus, not to be something you put on display to impress folks about what an awesome faster you are.
Isa 58:3-4
Why have we humbled ourselves, and you have not noticed?' "Yet on the day of your fasting, you do as you please and exploit all your workers. 4 and in striking each other with wicked fists. You cannot fast as you do today and expect your voice to be heard on high.
NIV
3 'Why have we fasted,' they say, 'and you have not seen it?
I get it. I get it. You’re one of those people who knows everything because you read about. You don’t need to actually do a thing to know all about it. You know EVERYTHING, I am sure.
Gee Johnny - the deplection of skeletal muscle doesn't seem to be a threshold factor documented in any of the research associated with:
https://www.google.com/search?q=+progressive+cardiad+catabolic+syndrome
Why is that?
Maybe you'd like to tell the class about the enzymes involved in the process - and how those enzymes are/are not selective in the muscle tissue they catabolize?
I know the evidence in this thread seems to indicate a person aflicted with E. Auto Hydrocephalus can't articulate where the oxaloacetate required for fat catabolization comes from in a water-fasting person whose glycogen stores have been depleted.
YMMV!

Your inability to understand how the Mongols won battles and wars with nothing more than maneuver and not needing a logistics train isn’t my problem. I’d tell you to read some history and learn a bit about the world but I doubt you’d take it.
However, you’re the inability to actually discuss things in a reasonable manner is rather a problem. But given your utter lack of intelligent posting, it’s not a problem that’s not solvable.
>>Your inability to understand how the Mongols won battles and wars
How’s the Goat Fat diet working for ISIS these days... let’s check the score:

Woop, there it is.
You substitute mockery for argument and facts, similar to John Oliver. You’re just making yourself look stupid.
Pssst, Wyle PA Engineer - Super Geniues.
1. Ketone bodies are produced when non-carbohydrate sources are are converted to GLUCOSE via:
Gluconeogenesis
2. "The brain retains some need for glucose, because ketone bodies can be broken down for energy only in the mitochondria, and brain cells' long thin axons are too far from mitochondria."

Maybe you and E. Auto Hydrocephalus should lay off the hard water and try distilled for a while.

That’s a FACT Goat Boy.

A: { crickets crickets crickets }
All I know is water fasts don’t kill you unless something else is going on.
Uhuh - Get back to me when you know why:
“Thats why people with anorexia can die of a heart attack. Their body feeds on their heart.”
That was John the Baptist.
You have a lot more chance of being killed by aspirin than by fasting.
But then you know everything so I’m sure you know that.
