Hello everyone,
This fasting section was provided by Alissa for the purpose of having a separate area designated for those partaking in a fast and need support in that. We did not always have a separate section for fasting when this forum first started...it came later.
Fasting is a very old practice and there are different types of fasts as well as many opinions, thoughts and theories on it and how to do it properly.
We do not have a "resident fasting expert" here on staff - everyone who has fasting experience just sort of shares their knowledge, experience, expertise, or what have you. Not everyone agrees on all things regarding fasting either and that's typical of anything.
Now, this is the disclaimer part:
It is each individual's responsibility to do their own due diligence regarding the topic of fasting, properly breaking a fast, etc. Do your research and your homework by reading books on fasting, visiting online fasting groups/forums and make informed choices. Do not take any one person's word for anything. But most all, FAST AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!
None of us here (to my knowledge) are medical experts and any advice given here in this area is not meant to take the place of medical advice. Seek the advice of your health care practitioner before starting any fasting program.
