    You can't start a new "forum" yet, you CAN start a thread. The forums are up to the powers that be. Ummm, there is already a "fasting" forum. Just go there, go to "new thread", put the title and go for it. Another ummmm. Drinking would not technically be "fasting". It would be more about a Green Smoothie Challenge or sumthin'.

    Exactly what I said. When you are injesting anything except water, you are not fasting. (for more information on fasting ~ google "fasting" ~ OR check the fasting forum here).

    With green smoothies your are injesting the whole food, fiber and all. That is technically, eating.

    Let me clarify - I am on a juice fast and believe it is a form of fasting. PURE LIQUID NUTRIENTS!!! Please don't take away my sunshine about my choice of juice fast as I'm pretty excited about what the outcome is.... No offense.

    The way you worded your request was confusing to me. There is a difference between Green smoothies (w/ fiber), green or any other juices (no fiber) and fasting (water only).

    So! Now, I'm getting your point. You want to start a "thread" on the the juice fast you are doing NOT a Green smoothie challenge, correct?

    I'm not saying anything against what you are doing. Not at all. As a matter of fact, I commend you for it. Just attempting to educate w/ incomplete information.

    So, do you understand how to begin a thread as you were asking?

    I'm new to this forum - learning how to communicate here. Acronyms (sp?) on this site are confusing too. Anyway, I think Sharon in Colorado started a "Green Smoothie Challenge". I think she may have just opened a 30 Day Challenge and named it Green Smoothie Challenge. I don't know, I'm just finding out how to start one like that for Fasting, any form of liquid fasting would be allowed. Can we do this? Just making sure!!!! Does that make sense? I hope so... :)

    Yup! Now I've got it. As I said, go to the "Fasting" forum on the home page; click on "New Thread", (top left), then Title it as you wish, say whatever you wish and you've got it going on. :)

    Keep us updated, 'k?

    Hi,

    Looks like someone already started a 21-day fasting thread here:

    Perhaps you might join in with this one?
