Water fasting

[Bastian]

Just because something is "ancient" or has been used "historically" doesn't necessarily make it a good thing nor does it make it scientifically sound.

This. I mean, ancient Egyptians used to stuff their vaginas with crocodile crap as birth control, but I doubt you're going to be trying that next.

This, and this.

There are plenty of things that were terrible ideas that were done in pre-modern times for "heath" that were counterproductive and harmful.

We know now that fasting does much more harm to a person's well being than good. Please don't do it. Research some medical sites first, not sites biased towards fasting. Better yet, talk to a doctor.

You WILL gain any weight you lose from the fast back eventually because it's not a medially sound way to lose fat. You will lose water weight and muscle tisssue.
