Which is better water fasting or MC?

[sar]

Iam on water fasting for 6 days now and I have lost 12pounds already. Iam wondering which one is better for people who tried both?? My main aim is to lose weight I started at 250 pounds and iam only 5’5 but also want to change my relation with food. Is it necessary to go into water fasting without preparation by juicing?

Hi Sar,
First, I would like to say cogratulations on sticking to your fast for 6 days! I have done both in the past. I am also 5'5" and I weigh 198 now after being raw for about 1 month. I started out at over 215 lbs. I don't feel that you have to fast on water alone. I just started a 30 day juice fast today. I plan on juicing greens daily and having lots of water along with that. I think the main thing is to be safe about it. Is this your first fast? Do you have any health issues? Sometimes when we fast on water alone (the only true fast), we cleanse far to quickly and it gives our bodies a bit too much to deal with at once. It all depends on how toxic we are to start with. If you feel good and can keep going, I say go for it!

This is just personal experience and doesn't apply to everyone. I was so sickly and nauseated on the MC (maybe 5 days into it. I forget), but I did just fine on water fasting for 14++ days.
