You just need very strong will power. Depression sinks in after 20 days. Need to drink lots of coke and pepsi, and smoke lots of cigarettes, to keep from going insane.Originally posted by Fatum:I don't believe you ...
Then technically isn't what you did not fasting?Originally posted by norm:You just need very strong will power. Depression sinks in after 20 days. Need to drink lots of coke and pepsi, and smoke lots of cigarettes, to keep from going insane.
Jesus Christ and Buddha only drank water, and did not have luxury of taking pepsi and coke and cigarettes to keep them going.

India's Ghandi fasted for 40 days, and he drank honey mixed with lemon juice every day during his fast.Originally posted by Ignatiaus:Then technically isn't what you did not fasting?
I mean since you drink soft drinks. Sugar & Caffeine i would categorized under as a food group. Sugar at least.
So all you did was basically a radical diet... not fasting...
That isn't the same as Pepsi, Coke mixed with cigarettesOriginally posted by norm:India's Ghandi fasted for 40 days, and he drank honey mixed with lemon juice every day during his fast.

I don't think fasting like that and subjecting yourself to so much hardship is what Buddha has taught. He himself went through such extremes and then realized and took the middle path.Originally posted by norm:Has anyone tried a 50 day fast?
Last year, I read a book on fasting by a writer called Bragg, which mention that Jesus Christ, and Buddha fasted for 40 days.
I then tried fasting for 40 days without eating any food. I just drank water, coke, pepsi cola. After 40 days, I decided to try for 50 days.
At the end of 50 day fast, I was thin as skeleton. I was crawling on the ground, instead of walking. I kept fainting, vomiting, nauseating and hallucinating. I feel like I was almost dead. I lost 20 kg.
After my fast, I quickly drink a few cans of Essence of Chicken. I also ask people to help buy chilli crab, roasted duck, roasted chicken, cereal prawn, fish and chips, for me to celebrate the end of fasting.
But I could not eat a thing. I push myself to swallow but just vomit out everything, as my stomach and intestines are in hibernation and no longer working, after a long fast. I also could not excrete. I constipated.
I could not eat nor excrete. It took me almost 2 months to recover to my normal appetite.
Never try such a fast. It is like committing suicide. Very dangerous to human body.
Has anyone tried fasting? Care to share your experience?
