Well, kudos for making it so far. I had a banana for breakfast this morning and was hungry again an hour later

But RIP to her

Erm, everyone I know who fasts is allowed to eat from dusk till dawn. If it was my daughter, I would have forced the food down her damn throat.

I truly blame the parents.

There are different types of fasting.

The one she did was only on water

Categories of fasting methods

Dry fasting. Also known as Absolute Fast, Black Fast, and Hebrew Fast. The most extreme of the types of fasting, dry fasting has spiritual roots, and consists of foregoing food and water for short periods. While not necessarily recommended, it is interesting to read about.
Liquid fasting. As the name implies, this is fasting on liquids only. The liquid fasting page offers an overview of the variety of liquids used in this type of fasting both today and in the past.
Water fasting is the simplest and perhaps the oldest form of liquid fasting. It delivers the greatest level of therapeutic benefit physically and in a short period of time, as detox occurs more quickly. But a water fast can be more difficult to commit to for the beginner.

Juice fasting is extremely popular and offers a modicum of nutritional support in a pure and natural form. Almost any fruit or vegetable can be juiced with the powerful juicers on the market.

The Master Cleanse or Lemonade Diet is a relatively new approach, becoming popular in the 1970s. It includes calories in the form of pure maple syrup. Intestinal cleansing is a major part of the methodology.

Partial fasting. Also sometimes called selective fasting, partial fasting includes some solid food--anywhere from a very little to a lot of solid food. It's not the amount of food, but the exclusion or limitation of certain foods that makes it a partial fast. Cleansing diets and mono-diets, like rice fasting, are partial fasts.

That's in Islam. This ain't a Muslim

The most i've done is 7 days and my mental health became a mess. I was delusional and kept blacking out. How she went that long is beyond me, maybe she pushed herself so much, her mental health actually aided in ignoring the hunger and last bit of sanity she had left.

I would never let my child starve themselves for 68 days, let alone a single damn day. The parents are clearly in the blame, they could've stuffed some damn bread down her throat. Idiotic.

Free hugs

natural selection tbh

Gross @ how long she fasted, but half of you bashing fasting when you really aren't educated on it. Fasting is very healthy for people to do, depending on the length of it obviously. Do some research gheys

Dumb girl.

The ignorance in this thread

Fasting is something that is practiced in many religions, including Christianity. The idea is to pray when you become hungry so that you remember your dependence on God over the things of this world, like food. It's obviously unsafe to do it for an extended period of time, though. Even in the Bible, Jesus only did it for 40 days.

I've never tried it but I would like to one day.
