Juice Fasting to Break This Cycle Posted: 02-09-06 20:05pm
I recently started looking up alternative
to diet..
I am 134 lbs, 17 years old, 5'6 and
female. I am looking to get back down to
120..
Bulimia has pretty much taken over my life
as of recent. I binge and purge 2 times a
day atleast..I am either busy
eating..Finding means to eat..Or
purging..And I feel like I have no time
for anything else..Which drives me
insane..Because I am a very busy, active
person..
I found juice fasting might be a good
means for me..
It might help to purify my system of all
the laxative, diet pills and help me
develop the discipline to break this
horrible vicious cycle..
Any comments?

Well done on wanting to break the cycle.
It really is difficult. But when you dont
eat, generally you find yourself wanting
to binge, right? A juice fast will leave
you hungry, probably more suceptible to
bingeing. You need to ask yourself...
Why do you binge and purge? What started
it? Why are you still doing it? Do you
see a physchicatrist? If you dont, they
can be an enormous help. Mine has helped
me cut back from 3 to 1 a day. Its an
amazing feeling. I want you to have that
feeling too.

Most juice and sports drinks have lots of
sugar and sodium (salt) in them and if
that is your only source of nutrients you
may become dehydrated very quickly.
Also, I have heard and you may want to
research it, but sports juices/drinks can
cause lots of different urinary tract
infections, kidney problems and other
health problems. I have always been
involved in sports and water was pushed on
my teammates and I more than juices
because of the health risks associated
with those being your main nutirent
intake. Don't get me wrong. I drink
sports drinks but they were made to put
into your body right before/during working
out so that you will have water/salt in
your body to sweat.
I commend you for finding a new way to
work on your problem and hope you continue
to do so, but with this juice thing, I am
afraid you have just traded one habit for
another one.

God, I had the same problem, t.e. I tryed
to get the bulimia cycle by yougurt 3 days
or juice and tea week. once I hungered for
three days....and was pretty proud of
myself and sure that the evil cycle was
broken.
I asure you, the just drink days and weeks
are the worst a bulemica can do.
I can not argue that this is bad, yes it
may help an organism to clean and get
healthyer but a treated person should have
no EDisorders, I believe.
Even now, when I am almost out of all
this, I get cravings to make, you know, a
yougurt fasting, or a chocolate day. I
have read about it in a magazine. A star
said she ate just 1 bar chocolate for the
whole days during 3 dasy and lost pounds.
yes we get this gross stuff from star mags
a lot, and we think if it worked for her
it will work for me.
I wish you to forget about fasting untill
you are 100% cured.
