[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your electrolytes can get out of balance. That is very bad. [/quote]

You can take electrolyte supplement, drink broth or have more salt. Problem solved.[/quote]

That's not fasting, then.[/quote]

Of course it IS fasting. Do you consider electrolytes food? Or salt?..

Even broth - consuming up to 50 cal a day is still fasting.[/quote]

Anything that contains calories is food. It's so weird you don't consider broth food. I think for most people, fasting includes abstaining from food and drink, perhaps with an exception of plain, clear water. Beyond that, it's not fasting as you're still giving your body nutrition. [/quote]

Well, most experts on fasting don't agree with you.
And in any case, salt contains 0 calories, so...[/quote]

lol what "Experts?"

That's called a liquid diet, not fasting. Fasting, which is a compulsion in many religions and cultures, does not include food and usually doesn't even include plain water. Broth and electrolytes are called a liquid diet, not fasting.[/quote]

NP I am from Europe and there we primarily use the Buchinger therapeutic fasting method. Up to 200calories are allowed. It is a well know program. Nobody calls it a liquid diet. The famous bone broth is the highlight of the day.[/quote]

The isolated program you follow still doesn't mean you're fasting.

Even people who only drink plain water during these things call it a "water fast" because "fasting" typically includes no ingestion of any sort, of any substances. Broth and similar foods are a low calorie liquid diet, and definitely not a "fast" under any sensible definition of the term.[/quote]
