Like, I want to see what it's like to not eat anything for a few days, but I don't know how to explain it to my mom and how to actually get the willpower to do it...

You have to prepare your mind by thinking out your plan, and set a date you can live with, like (not today but I can start next friday because saturday and sunday I have no school, work, also, there will be no special foods around to tempt me to fail, ect... thus no activities that will demand that much from me), and think on your plan until the day comes, that's how you prepare your mind to do it, then on friday if temptation gets the best of you, then, (drink water only for those 3 day's, it cleanses your body), eat only soups, preferrably broth with no solids, then resume your fast, (it's very good for you), very healthy to do and ocasional fast. The most I've ever been able to fast is 10 day's, I don't remember if 13 or 15, but I know that 10 tops, Oh and before I go, you can even prepare your mind by planning it for next month or other.

Just as I said to the other person who asked this, this is such a stupid question. You do NOT want to stop eating. This would be the beginning of an eating disorder. Some people die from this disease. It is no laughing matter. Why in the hell do you want to see what it is like to not eat for a few days? Let me tell you, it sucks!! You get moody, crabby, headaches to just name a few. Don't get sucked into this. Once you do, it is so hard to get out. Many never do and suffer with this their whole life.

I dont think that is a good idea at all. Why would you even want to stop eating. Eating foods that are good for you, give you energy!!! If you want any kind of willpower.....EAT!!!! Is it a weight issue??? You didnt say. if so, let me know!!!! i will help you!

I wouldn't stop eating all together, but when i feel like fasting for whatever reason, i choose one category of food I really like and stop eating that- for me - I cut out all sweets from my diet. So instead of a morning donut I would have a banana and just choose healthier items. I would also drink lots of water. When people offer me something sweet I just tell them I am cutting back on my sugar intake and tell them I have been eating too many sweets. No one ever gives me a hard time about that.

Drink liquids and don't eat anything solid. It will help with the empty feeling. Tell your mom you want to cleanse your body of toxins and need to fast for a few days.

when i was fifteen i thought it would be cool to do the same thing. i went 5 days without food or sleep and by the fifth day i wanted to die. i felt dizzy, weak, sick to my stomach, and i was seeing things tht werent there. it was horrible. instead of starving urself why dont u eat miniature portions of wht u want. or eats twice a day instead of 5 times a day, or whatever. thats a true way to test ur will power without putting ur health at risk. ur body uses food as fuel so if u plan to stop eating u better also plan to stay in bed and not do anyhting that requires energy. and for the record, i dont advise that u do that.

Don't do it! I'll tell you what it's like. You are hungry all the time for the first day. You start feeling dizzy and shaky and nauseous, and maybe even dry-heave. The next day you're very tired and shaky, and the smell of food makes you want to puke, and your temper goes off at the drop of a hat. Day three, you can barely even get out of bed and want to throw up the whole day. Not only is this ridiculously unhealthy, but it is one way to make yourself absolutely, completely miserable.

First of all, I did this for a medical study. I don't reccomend it. It is a horrible feeling to go to bed hungry. I had to go three days without food, just water. If you are doing this for dieting, it is the worst possible way to diet because the only thing you are accomplishing is to slow down your metabolism and lose water weight (which you instantly gain back). If you are just curious, depending on you age...talk to your mom and explain it to her, that you are fasting.
