    I did the 7 day water fast at True North Health Center while Dillon and his Dad were there. I found it harder than Dillion did. By day 3 I told the doctor at true north I was going to quit if I couldn’t drink anything. So they gave me vegetable broth that made all the difference. There was no vegetables with sugar in the broth so it didn’t break the fast. I had deadly bad breath throughout the fast. I rested a lot during the fast because I was there to help a herniated disc in my lower back. I’m glad I did the fast but I left true north two weeks before there were wildfires so that was fortuitous. This is the best reset for your body. I highly recommend it.

    I’m also doing a 30 day water fast 😊. I’m on day 8 as of right now. And I wanted to quit so bad but kept pushing through because I knew the results were going to be OUTSTANDING! I lost 8 lbs in 5 DAYS! Once I seen the drastic drop in my weight on the scale, my jaw literally DROPPED to the ground 🥳😢 I felt so proud of myself. All the days and nights I was complaining about the feelings and urges I was feeling throughout my 8 days of fasting, it was so worth it! A positive mindset can get you so places in life especially if you have goals/aspirations. It’s best having supportive and motivating people around you to give you a boost during your journey. I’m going to post my journey at the end of September so I can share my experience as a unexperienced water faster 😇

    I am on day 3 of a water fast and that is how I discovered your channel yesterday. Once I am back over in the states, I can't wait to order some of your products. It is easy to locate vegan products, but next to impossible to find oil free. I have done long term water fasts in the past, but day 2 of this one was the most difficult ever. I am awaiting foot and spine surgery so have been on long term pain meds. Not taking those during this fast so had to push through the most horrific headache ever. If anyone may see this and feels that water fasting may help them, go for it. It is so good to give your body a rest from everything. I do brush my teeth with just water and wear deodorant. I know that those that dry fast don't, and they skip showers also. No water at all. Those aren't for me but works for others. Wishing everyone all the best and much success with your fasts.

So much so, wanted to extend it to 7 days but, unfortunately, they would not let me as I only stayed 10 days and the refeeding has to be 7 days as well. I could have signed a waiver AMA but it wasn't worth it so just stuck to 5 day fast. The water kept me full and I took work with me so occupied the time I wasn't sleeping with work. Actually, I slept a lot during the day, so did not have a chance to have cravings. Good luck with your fast.

I used a tongue scraper - what a God-send! That helped a lot. Today is rough - feeling achey, tired, cold, slow to get up or I’ll get dizzy. Not really loving the taste of my water even tho it’s reverse-osmosis. I’m not struggling as much with thinking about food as I am just wanting to not feel dizzy and bleh.

    Hi Dillon. Thanks so much for this. On your first day of refeeding, you were limited to juice. Can you be specific about what juices were available and which you chose/liked? The reason is I've done short (2, 3, & 4 day) unsupervised fasts on my own and always wonder how the professionals refeed.

    • @WellYourWorld
      @WellYourWorld  7 лет назад +13

      Great question! Do pause in the video where I showed that document that outlined the refeed process; that was a handy chart. As for juice, ya I could have talked about that some more. You don't really choose your juice, they just deliver it to you. The only juice I asked about was the very first one, which they said is ALWAYS watermelon celery. It was delicious. All of the juices tasted really good, so I know there was fruit as the base ingredient rather than the juices I used to always make at home which were heavy on the veg and light on the fruit. Honestly, I don't think it really matters. It is just meant to wake up your digestive system without punching it too hard. So I am sure that any light fruit/veg combination will be ok. Nothing with too strong of taste because you will find it very strong after not eating. You already know this from experience of course, but this answer is for everyone else too...

    • @panzerfaust375
      @panzerfaust375 6 лет назад +4

      I would say you would want to watch the fructose content of your juices as this would be a strain on the liver as fructose is only processed by the liver and seeing as it is missing the important fibre component. I used to juice but I actually found fasting to be easier then juicing as the sugar minus the fibre spikes insulin and increases hunger and cravings.

      @WellYourWorld  7 лет назад +26

      Distilled water, though Reverse Osmosis would be fine too. Any temp you like. They even have a thing to make it sparkling water for people with some stomach issues. No showers because they don't want you to pass out from temperature change. I just used a towel to wipe off. You can walk very little, they encourage you to just hang out and be inactive. Lots of lectures, decent internet for watching netflix. I gained all of my weight because I already ate the same before my fast as after. But my dad kept all his weight off because he completely changed his diet after his fast, so now he eats totally whole foods plant based. So ya his weight didnt come back. This is normal.

I really am looking for a complete reset that changes things from here on out.

      Four days is not that long, so you don't need to refeed all that slowly. Two days of watermelon and then one day of raw is more than enough. I expect you are weak because you have not gotten back up to normal amount of calories. Time to eat. PS I am not a doctor, and I never will be.

    Can you, please, tell: what do you do there all day in TrueNorth? Is it "entertain yourself" type of setting? How do you keep busy?

      Mostly I worked on my computer, read, watched a little Netflix, and of course I didn't miss a single lecture. I didn't feel bored.

    hello, I just started a water fasting by myself after researching it a bit, and jump right in for the health benefits. Is this study free?? or did it cost you the 3 thousand you mentioned?
    Im on day 7. Lost 12 lbs so far , and had no negative effects. Any links you recommend for more tips?

      +AGUSTIN CABRERA my recommendation would be to watch every single RUclips video you can find with Dr Michael Klaper and Dr Alan Goldhamer.

      Hi there, were you drinking water all throughout the day or only when thirsty?
