Fasting therapies (especially strict fasting that only drinks water) may have a significant impact on health, so be sure to consult a doctor or a professional dietitian before trying to ensure that your physical condition is suitable for this challenge. The following is a **carefully designed**7-day water-only fasting plan framework for reference： --- ###**Pre-preparation (3-7 days before fasting)** 1. **Medical assessment**: Check blood sugar, blood pressure, heart health, etc., and exclude contraindications (such as diabetes, hypotension, pregnancy, etc.). 2. **Diet transition**： -**Days 3-7**: Gradually reduce caffeine, refined sugar, and processed foods. -**Days 1-2**: Switch to a whole plant diet (vegetables, fruits, whole grains) and reduce your food intake to 70% of normal. 3. **Psychological preparation**: Record physical feelings and set clear goals (such as detoxification, restarting eating habits, etc.). --- ###**Fasting stage (7 days)** **Daily execution：** -**Drinking water**: 2-3 liters per day (drinking in small sips), you can add a small amount of electrolytes (such as sugar-free sea salt or lemon slices). -**Activities**: Avoid strenuous exercise and focus on walking, meditation, and light yoga. -**Monitoring**: Record the symptoms of discomfort such as weight, heart rate, dizziness, etc., and stop immediately if the discomfort is severe. **Daily precautions：** -**Days 1-3**: Headache and fatigue (sugar withdrawal reaction) may be possible, and rest more. -**After the 4th day**: Hunger is reduced, but bad breath and fatigue may occur (ketone body metabolism stage). - **Contraindications**: Alcohol, caffeine or any calorie-containing drinks are strictly prohibited. --- ###**Re-eating stage (7 days after fasting)** Re-eating is as important as fasting, and the digestive system needs to be awakened slowly.： 1. **Days 1-2**: Dilute fruit and vegetable juices (such as apple juice, cucumber juice) or vegetable clear soup, 100ml each time, 4-5 times a day. 2. **Days 3-4**: Introduce liquid foods (such as rice soup, oat milk) and steamed soft vegetables. 3. **Days 5-7**: Gradually add digestible protein (tofu, quinoa) and a small amount of healthy fat (avocado, nut sauce). 4. **Avoid**: Meat, dairy products, refined sugar, and fried foods for at least 1 week. --- ###**Risks and alternatives** 1. **Risks**: hypoglycemia, muscle loss, electrolyte disorders, fainting. 2. **Safer choice**： -**Improved fasting**: daily intake of 500kcal (such as vegetable soup + a small amount of nuts). -**Intermittent fasting**: Light fasting at 16:8 (fast for 16 hours a day and eat for 8 hours). --- ###**Important reminder** -If you have heart palpitations, persistent dizziness, or vomiting during fasting, you need to seek medical attention immediately and stop fasting. -Long-term fasting must be carried out under professional supervision (such as a medical clinic or retreat center). Please adjust according to individual circumstances, health is always the first priority! 🌿
