Therapeutic Water-Only Fasting

Has anyone else tried it? I did originally for 3 days with no problem. Next time did 5 and the last time 10 days. The last time, I could take my glasses and just about read across the room without a prescription. The mental clarity and focus was enormous.

For those who have tried it, what was your experience. [disclaimer: not covering juice fasting which is a different topic, thanks]

I did it for 3 days as an adjunct for detoxifying. I felt good but nothing like what you are describing.

I used to water fast every Saturday; I also did several longer water fasts: 9 days, 8 days, 23 days, 21 days. For those timeframes, it felt very similar to a master cleanse. However, I did a 39 day master cleanse once, and after about 4 to 5 weeks, I noticed a whole new level of peace and contentment. Since I never did a water fast that long, I wouldn't know if it may have been the same on water. As an aside: If I had to fast on water again and had the choice of doing a salt water flush every morning, I would probably choose to do so.

I've done a bunch of 2-3 day water fasts. My first longer water fast was 10 days, and a few years later I did a 12 day water fast.

I recently did a 2.5 day dry fast. And when I water fast, I usually drink about a half a cup a water a day.

Are you able to exercise much while you are water fasting. I have a pretty full schedule that includes a lot of exercise almost everyday -- riding horses, hiking, running, working out in the gym, etc. I could give up much of that, but not the horse riding. Do you exercise much when you water fast? If so, how do you feel?
