A few months ago, I did a water fasting for 3 days. Well, needless to say, it only lasted 2. lol I lost 6 lbs in water weight and I really felt good. I didn't have to take my Lasix for almost 2 weeks. I could only imagine how well I'd be doing if I had gone the whole 3 days or even a week. Our body stores so much junk. I'm not a huge health nut or anything like that, so I'm not suggesting everyone go out and do what I did. I just know it did help me and i wish I had the will power to do it again and stick with it. I love my carbs. I'm not a huge drinker as I only do it socially, and since I don't get out much anymore, that's really rare these days.
