    • Tomika: Hey guys…i keep starting my fast over…but im doing better i think. My original weight was 250. I am now at 244. I wish i could complete a whole week without breaking a fast. Its just so hard cause seems like food is everywhere. i am just gonna do the best i can and do some...
    • natacha h.: hello all… i finished day 2 of my water fast and today is day 3….i feel much better but i have a headache…but his usually happens to me when i break a fast with a binge! i will try and continue 10 days with water, before i start my 40 days juice fast… take good...
    • Tom Coghill: Hi Peggy, That is strange as you have nothing in your colon to irritate it. To boost the probiotics you could try some fresh cabbage juice with some lemon for flavor.
    • Peggy: I am on day 13 of water fasting. I am feeling discouraged. My colon is terribly swollen, tender, hard and frequently goes into spasm. It has been that way for several months, although a colonoscopy showed the inside was very healthy. I know I am completely clean inside from enemas. I am...
    • natacha h.: hello.. again after 16 days alternating between water fasting and juice fasting, i binged yesterday and today i am not feeling well at all… my main goal in fasting is lose weight…i have around 60 pounds to lose (i already lost 40 since june 1)… i love the feeling...
    • Karen: Hi Tom I am on Day 1 of my juice fast. I am a returning faster. I did the first fast in May for 35 days. I did not find it too difficult at all . I lost 30 pounds and have continued to loose a couple pounds a week since. I do not eat meat now, which was not really my intention, but I...
    • Tom Coghill: Jazzmomy The first few days of fasting will tell you more about weightloss than any guess I could make. For headaches you can try the herb feverfew or tylenol works and does not affect the fast.
    • Tom Coghill: Hi Katie Yes increased energy happens with many people on a water fast. You have a slow metabolism and overeating burdens the body to digest then produce fat. When you stop eating the body is not burdened by digestion and fat is easy converted to calories. The result can be energy...
    • Jazzmomy: Hi Tom, Thanks for your kind reply.Today i am on 7th day of my juice fasting.I take about 8oz of (cantaloupe+half an apple+3strawberries) juice by around 11.30 in morning.Rest of the time i have only water.I took an enema on 4th day. I have lost 11 lbs so far.Feeling good.I am also...
    • Katie: Hey everyone! I am on day 6 of my water fast and shockingly I feel FANTASTIC! The first four days I was hungry but yesterday I woke up and noticed that there was no hunger. I have to say, it is really odd not being hungry since I have lived most of my life focused on when I would next eat....
    • becky: Oh, and I’m a 5′9″ ectomorph and currently weigh 142 lbs. I also wanted to mention I quit coffee on day 3 of my fast (7 days ago) and I’m doing fine without it. Ok, I really think that’s all for now!
    • becky: Hello from Maine, USA! Been lurking at this wonderful sight for a couple weeks now – finally registered so I can share. I’m on Day 10 of my vegetable juice fast. I decided to fast because of many reasons: severe chronic migraines since I was 12 years old (I’m 34 now) that...
    • Tom Coghill: Hi Jazzmony, Sure you can take clomid during the fast. I would stick to juice fasting as it has greater therapeutic value. A 30 day juice fast healed my sex drive that was destroyed by drug abuse when I was young and it may cure infertility. Add some vitamin E and essential oils.
    • Tom Coghill: Hi Kdrocha, Herbal teas do not have any calories or very few and the body detoxifies at the maximum rate.
    • Jazzmomy: Hi Tom, Thanks a lot for such a wonderful site. Im very new to this and now im on 3rd day of my fasting. I take 2 cups of juice ie one veggie on mornings and one fruit on evening.Rest of the time i take water when i feel thirsty. I was 176.4lbs when i started and today im 171 lbs. My...

    • obatalatress: Hello Steve, School starts September 8 and I want to fast I was thinking I would do a juice fast for 10-15 days and go into a water fast for 30-35 days. I have done the juice fast 3 years in a row, but never a water fast. I would also do colonic to help with along detoxing and...
    • Tom Coghill: Hi Steve Hairloss occurs in aproximently 1% of water fasters possibly caused by toxins affecting follicle growth or affecting hormones. The hair regrows but can take up to 3 months. Adding essential oils 2 tablespoons and vitamin E 1200 IU daily should solve the problem. You should...
    • Steve: Hello Tom, I recently fasted for a 3 weeks, took a week off and then fasted for two more weeks. I have noticed significant hair loss in the front and was wondering if this is normal and is there something I should do to combat it. I really want to fast again for a few weeks, but I’m...

    • Tom Coghill: Hi Amber It can be very hard to fast with intense demands like you have. You will need to cut your activities. Concentartion will come and go. The mind can be sharp or foggy at the beginning of a fast. At least drinks lots of juice and cut back on the kick boxing.
    • Amber: Ok so I’ve been trying to start a juice fast for awhile now, but I think I keep talking my self out of it, and I’m starting to get discouraged. I know there are a lot of great health benefits to fasting, and after years of stress and bad decisions and addictions, I am ready to...
    • Tom Coghill: Hi I am on day 10 of a juice fast here with a client at the Sagada Detox Retreat. Working really hard so had some whole eggs blended with hotsauce. Strangely, feeling a background of nausea. I may be toxic from exposure to diesel fumes from traveling. May have to go to water fasting...

    • SbInstructor: Day 16 Weight: 218lbs Drinks: Lots of water, Back to tea again Other: omega 3, potassium, and more cant remember everything but not gnc vitapaks. (Repeat do not use GNC vitapaks on a fast very very very very bad dangerous and potentially life threatening *sport or green versions)
    • Tom Coghill: Hi Tomika Natural chicken broth does not have many calories so a cup a day would be fine. Better to heat carrot and beet, then at hotsauce and worstershire sauce. The packet chicken broth is mostly chemicals.
    • Tomika: Hey guys…i am really having problems sticking to a fast. i have had two failed attempts already. Today starting all back over again. I am depressed about some issues in my life…mainly my weight. And i want to gain more confidence in myself because there are things that i want...

    • Tom Coghill: Hi Nikki It is ok to bounce between water and juice fasting or be on a water fast and have a fresh juice if you need some energy. Detoxification as a very flexible process that can be customized.
    • Nikki: SbInstructor is right about the movie Super Size Me, definately a must see! I first saw it 2 years ago & had my little ones watch it with me. There are a couple parts I would’ve preferred they missed… but they won’t even consider asking for McDonald’s now!...

    • Nikki: Tom, thank you so much for your understanding it is much appreciated & i needed that! I feel as good as new now. I haven’t been drinking much juice – a cup or two a day. I started adding lemon to my water as well, but I also haven’t been drinking nearly as much water....

    • jamieL: Cool, thanks!!
    • Tom Coghill: Hi JamieL The enema reduces hunger and speeds healing and weightloss. Not necessary.
    • jamieL: I would like to try fasting, but really do not want to do the whole enema thing. Things like that really creep me out. Is it strictly necessary, or does it just make the process easier?

Quote From the Books

Ok, I now know just how messed up I am. The chapters on the emotions and eating hit home. I am planning a fast but, I know that I need to rebuild and cleanse my mind of all the toxic thinking and emotions that make me want to hide in the pleasures of food. I feel alive for the first time in many years. Keep on going, Tom you have helped me more than my words can express. — Suzie Bilinere
