Some people stop pooping altogether when they fast.

Yeah, no shit?

Because they aren't eating any FOOD, so there is nothing to come out. It's not because anything is wrong.

People will still defecate a little, though not much, because toxins are leaving.

It is imperative those people do enemas or else it defeats the purpose of the fast.

Bullshit.

There is no biological reason to shoot liquid up your ass.

But humans have gone a few days without food all through history.

The idea of an enima is downright stupid, and might be dangerous.

Just fast. The body will cleanse on its own.

I have done several fasts; never an enima.

I will throw in one thing that most people have probably never thought of:

I have kept records of a few fasts I've done. When a person fasts, they lose BOTH bodyfat and muscle. But if they exercise with resistance training, the weight loss will skew more to fat loss than muscle loss.

So, if someone wants to fast, in part to lose bodyfat, they should also workout during this time. It seems counter-intuitive to many, but I know it is beneficial.

To flesh that out a bit:

• I did 2 fasts for 7 days, each.

• First fast, I did no exercise.

• Second fast, I did a full body workout (but brief), every other day.

• Both fasts, I lost exactly 15 pounds.

• First fast, 3 of that was bodyfat (the rest water and lean tissue)

• Second fast, 6 of it was bodyfat.

Some people say fasting is "muscle sparing." I question that, as I do think we lose muscle mass during a fast. However, we gain the muscle right back again once we start eating, especially if we workout with weights.

Still, losing less muscle mass during a fast is better than losing more.
