I invite anyone who wishes to join us ( u/bibloop u/honestbobbin u/litecola2 and anyone else I missed) in a 40 day long fast. Coincidentally, Bibloop and I received a message yesterday morning to fast and pray for 40 days. It was Bib's suggestion that we spread the word to others and after Trump narrowly missed a bullet to his head on that very same day, I believe it's a sign that we all should be praying now more than ever. We are abstaining from carbs and alcohol and Bibloop is fasting intermittently as well. You may fast however you can, there's no rule on what sort of fast you must do.
The attack on Trump is as much a spiritual one as it is a physical one. They hope to frighten his supporters from attending any future rallies. It won't work for our faith remains unshaken. I believe Trump is protected by God and supporting him through prayer is something we can all do right now to aide him in this spiritual and psychological war.
Thanks for hearing me out. We are all in this together like family and I consider you all my digital and spiritual family.

Folks, please read the post. This is for any type of fast that you wish. It is not a complete zero intake of food. 30 days is doable for someone with sufficient fat reserves, but it is recommended that it be supervised by a doctor. 40 days is virtually a death sentence, unless you are expending minimal energy (think hibernation). Intermittent fasting is quite healthy and can be a tremendous health benefit. Zeroing out ultra processed foods is not really a fast, but is something that could be a wonderful "fasting" goal.
Seconded
First rule of fasting club is don't hurt yourselves
Second rule of fasting club is drink lots of water but don't forget the electrolytes
I do the 7 day fast once a quartet. I drink nothing but water or tea. No sweetener
Don’t try to do zero for 40 days. 45 days is about the drop dead point for zero intake. Based on Irish hunger strikers.
40 is dangerous you guys
It's ultra advanced fasting. Try for 20 if you're not used to it. Hell, if you've never done a 10 day, try that first after doing a 3 or 5 day.
I accept the invitation.
Thank you for posting this pearlrevolver.
We're not asking for extreme fast. If you can.do a light fast would suffice where you sacrifice that one food or diet habit you want to kick and the next 40 days is very important. Lots of prayers and sobriety. That's what I got when I prayed.
For those doing extreme fasting, I offer this from experience: salt your water. Quarter teaspoon pink or sea salt per 16 Oz water. It'll help with the dizzy and headache.
you really need all the electrolytes.... potassium, magnesium, calcium, bicarbonate, zinc, boron. They make electrolyte supplements you can take from a dropper
I discovered this by accident last week. I did a 96 hour fast, and like my previous fast I had a dull headache. I decided to put salt in my water because I figured that I needed it after sweating a lot on the StairMaster during day three, and was surprised to find that it diminished my headache.
Yep it's simple and awesome, and takes almost no thought, which is what it sometimes requires during an extended fast.
God bless you, fren. Getting fellow churchgoers in on it too, maybe can bring some of them finally into the win communities. Let's do this all together- pedes you don't have to go extreme, especially if you've never done an extended fast before. Start with an intermittent fast for beginners, our just start out by giving up some things you like, that ciggie or beer, candy bar, soda or whatever. I'm going intermediate IM and will move to advanced IM when ready and then we'll see where we get by day 40. But pray, pedes, pray and pray for all of us. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in the battle...
Amen 🙏
Do not attempt a 40 day fast if you have not already completed a
I've done a fifteen day fast and 40 I'm not ready for.
