Having a go at the 11 day liquid fast.
Its really not the hard if you follow exactly what Souleater said. Im actually feeling pretty good about this.
that was an awesome tipC0FFINCASE wrote:I don't know that this applies to you or if Soul mentioned it but do not drink alcohol during the 11 days or for a while after. It won't kill you if you do, but you will wish it had.

You definitely can't go from 300 calorie diet to 11 day fast either. Just sayin'. Maybe be normal for a week and then try it if you must.
Side note: You don't look like you need to be on a diet. Also I think you mentioned running to me at one point, which I used to run track and you need more calories than normal to be doing any sort of extended running.
Souleater wrote:Not entirely true. I did this diet again in Afghanistan. I went from a very high calorie diet, roughly 5-6000 calories a day just to have energy for the next day. I went from roughly 6000 to absolute 0, for all 11 days. There were no energy drinks, only water. No soda, only water. Right after 11 days, I started eating low calories like I suggested.

Even not eating for a few days can make you feel ill. Not to mention the lack of energy she'll have.
In fact if you look into it you'll find things like so:

The Truth about "Starvation Mode"
Oh and let's not forget this super important fact.
Slower Metabolism
Your attempt to lose weight by consuming nothing but water can backfire in a big way. According to the Harvard Medical School Family Health Guide, any diet that is extremely deficient in calories causes the body's basal rate of metabolism to slow down. In other words, if your body believes that you're starving, it acts to preserve your chances of survival by slowing down the rate at which it burns energy. As a result, when you end your fast and begin eating again, you'll most likely start packing the pounds back on faster than ever before.
Normally I agree with you but this just seems like a terrible idea.
