Hi Val, it's good to c u, I am going on a water journey myself for health reasons not so much weight loss. I started today Wednesday, and will continue it for a while each day. Love u Val ❤

[@LadyDee150]

Wow!! Just water for 18 days sounds really challenging. I know it's only Day 1 but you're doing great so far, really motivated. I'll keep praying that you make it to the end!! Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

[@nailhoney9356]

Hello Val. I am so proud of you. I have decided to fast as well. You are not alone. God Bless

[@paulineplunket121]

Hi Val, you are looking great . Just wanna respectfully share something with you. I recently join Noom. I'm learning that there is a lot of science showing that starvation diet is not the recommended way to go. It only makes you crave more food, and your body goes into crisis mode--holding on to body fat that you want to desperately want to lose. I've tried the scientific way, and it really works. My appetite gradually shrunk and I'm losing slowly. Slowly is the recommended way to go. Because you will keep it off. Now I'm eating less, and get saturated easily. Most importantly I'm not craving food like I used to do. I'm supporting you in ur weight loss journey.

[@josephinehunte1250]

Thank u for the inspiration. ❤

[@wluckie7213]

Best of luck on your journey & love the hair.

[@TLM685]

Hello Val Good Luck 👍🏾

[@ElisiasEvolution]

Wow that's a challenge, I fast between 10am-6pm I'm on a vegetarian challenge I'm on week 3. So far so good. Good luck hun 💖

[@karenzellerssevier1263]

How are you gong to exercise on just water? WOW, you are my SHERO! Stay encouraged, I'm praying for you! I'm glad you're feeling good! The body is strong, we just have to make it BEHAVE! 😁

[@LivinDivine]

I'm taking it one day at a time. I love to see what my body can do. I'll keep you posted.

[@mixedrapunzels9969]

Your body your choice. Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@BeautifulLivingHome]

Good luck to you!🌸 Definitely take it easy and don't push yourself to hard. I did 14 days of juice fasting followed by 18 days of water fasting several years ago, 😳it was a journey, lol

[@BeautifulLivingHome]

By the way, your hair is amazing!💗

[@demibell5123]

Guesssss what!!! Positive note!! Your locs are 🔥🔥

[@janespitfire9884]

Good luck ! Do not exercise too much or might faint. Ahh maybe just walk

[@hp77]

Girl U know what I do just don’t think about food keep busy N before U know it WOW! I’m not even hungry, really

[@Chai-wl6kx]

The longest water fast I’ve accomplished was 7 days, could have gone longer. My hunger went away after day 3 but the first 3 days was the most challenging while my body was detoxing. Fasting is so beneficial . Good luck. 🍀 Also, some KZbinrs would record their journey and their supporters got worried and sent people to do a wellness checks on them.

[@LivinDivine]

Wow, a wellness check? That’s a new one. If it gets that rough for me, don’t send for a wellness check, just send chicken 🍗. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@wluckie7213]

@@LivinDivine OMG- I was laughing 😂 so hard before I could even finish reading your comment, “just send me chicken”, lol.

[@soblessed7777]

Good luck! The most I've done is 2 5 days water fast.

[@jeanmikaloff7112]

What kind of water additives are you using..cell food? Bio salts?

[@LivinDivine]

I add a little Himalayan sea salt to my water. I also ensure that my electrolytes are not depleted by taking my daily amounts of Sodium, Potassium, and Magnesium. The combination of the 3 helps with preventing cramps that come with prolonged fasting.

[@demibell5123]

Pedialyte is good too to incorporate more of what you need

[@jillholly4175]

When I was 24/25 I water fasted for 21 days and I tell you I felt Amazing!!!.. I was a pecetarian at the time.. You Got This!! ❤

[@LivinDivine]

I won't try this often, but I've done short fasts in the past, and I had amazing energy after they were over. My body needs a reset. I just need my mind and my stomach to cooperate. LOL!!

[@jillholly4175]

@@LivinDivine I am with you on this 🤦‍♀️ Having your stomach and mind to cooperate is the rough and tough part of fasting!!!..

[@estherstrategicadvisor749]

@@LivinDivine I think I accidentally erased my comment & wanted to add the AMOUNT of Peppermint oil is 5 drops in 8oz of water. The Comment: I'm enjoying your channel & sense of humor SOOO MUCH so *pls take my comment as one done with ALL DUE RESPECT:* 🔹Pls get some Ginger Powder & OR Peppermint to mix with your water, which staves off GAS & hunger pains. 🔹100% Coconut Water has NATURAL Electrolytes & was used in WWII as a substitute for a drip. 🔹Get a nice Waist Trainer for the OPENING so you can look like an "8" beside hubby SO YOU WONT BE a "10" but an "18" 😂 🔹 PLS Pray Scriptures on God's ability eg I can do all things... He who began a good work in me.... The Lord sustains me.... I love His Word more than my necessary food😁 etc DURING MEALTIMES as if you were eating [so for 15 to 30 minutes] to release God's power to strengthen you. I can see you are a determined lady & that's admirable! I know people who've done 40 DAY WATER only Fasts!😲 [Not me!😁] 🔹 *Btw, IF you only last up to 4 days lime you said in the past, you can have an oatmeal package OR GROUND FLAXSEED warmed up in Organic Soymilk alternating with Green Juice or Beet Juice for ENERGY so you have a TINY bit of carbs that won't affect your weight loss and keep you SATIATED enough to last 18 days. [Anthony's Ginger Powder, Anthony's or HQO Organic Beet Powder, Eve Hanson's Organic Peppermint Oil from Amazon & Bob's Organic Ground Flaxseed are the type I use.]* 🔹I RESPECT what you're saying about choosing what's best for you bcs I fasted no food or water & for extended times, so hope that helps. 🔹Pls remember AFTER your 18 days, to drink only VEGETABLE SOUPS for at least 2 days to reset your stomach lining & enzymes to accommodate solid food again. 🔹Looking forward to a fun video seeing your make-up and outfit when you show us the Grand Opening.😁 I'm also praying for God to guide you and Bless the work of your hands. God Bless!💙

[@LivinDivine]

@@estherstrategicadvisor749 I love your comments. Thanks so much for your input. Although I’ve done a lot of studying on fasting, and speaking with my doctor, you have some really great advice here, which I will revisit. I admire the person that lasted 40 days, as that’s not going to be my story, because right now I feel like I will fight someone to just lick a piece of beacon. 😩 But, I’m determined, and I know most of it is mental, so I’m holding on for now.

[@blessedfromtx.1910]

Fasting is great, we must reset and heal our bodies! Girl be strong! You can do it 💪🙏

[@josephinehunte1250]

Look forward to seeing/viewing the grand opening of the Clay restaurant. If I lived in that area I would patronize & support u. What are ur specialty dishes or what will b the main focus of the restaurant, veggies, barbecue, brisket, pasta etc. what ever it is, I am sure it will b 'YUMMIE'

[@lisafloren9159]

Val, hang in there. You can do it.

[@havilahheals]

Sending you much love during your fast. I started fasting this past Monday 9/20. I am doing fruit, raw veggies and water. It's been great so far!

[@fashionforward4962]

Idid a 21 day water only fast earlier this year. It's more mental than anything! You got this Val!

[@LivinDivine]

Yes, the mental part is the struggle for sure!!

[@yolandam611]

Omg I can't imagine fasting that long. Personally, I've never fasted for more than 18 hours. I would would consider it a huge accomplishment if I could go 24 hours with no food LOL

[@jalissacruz7838]

Hello there . Best wishes to you on your Journey. I fasted on Sunday For the first time in years. I felt completely rejuvenated on Monday.I do intermittent fasting Monday through Friday. Best to you ! 😊

[@denisewilliamson4749]

Hi Val, good luck on your 18 day fast. You on a mission girl. I will 🙏 for you on your fasting. Stay focus. Keep working out. You are doing so well on your weight loss journey. 😊

[@creating1_c1999]

I absolutely agree with you that we eat out of habit. My body has been conditioned to eating one meal and a green smoothie each day. Some days, I cannot reach the smoothie. Praying for a successful journey.

[@carold2370]

Good to have you back Val and I’ve just started to do a combination of things because of my personal situation. I’m using ACV with the Mother in my water and It really helps with feeling full and my sugar cravings. I’m also doing IF intermittent fasting. I was surprised that I could get through the workout first thing in the morning @ 6am while doing the IF. I’ve never been a disciplined trainer but it is a goal of mine. You are an inspiration and we appreciate that you keep it💯 We’re doing what works. I’m also cleaning up the diet. Small gains but I’ll take it💪🏾. Looking forward to your next update. 😉

[@hp77]

Have U tried Apple cider vinegar and make sure it says mothers. Check it out it works.

[@vanessashaw5365]

Years ago… I used to fast on water. Usually no longer than a week. The longest was on juices for an entire month. What I didn’t do was exercise. It was too stressful on my body. I’ll be watching to see how this works out.

[@Es_Elle]

Hi Val, is there anything significant about it being 18 days as opposed to 10 days, 5 days, etc.?

[@LivinDivine]

The only significance is that while caring for my daughter and grandson, I took 18 days off of my diet/health journey and ate tons of carbs during those 18 days. So I’ve added those days to my diet.

[@antoinettehardy1725]

Do you have a preplanned method for handling bowel movement or the lack of bowel movement. If you don’t, I encourage you to do some research, if this is your first time going on a water fast for such an extended amount of time. Because of water fast can put you to bed.

[@LivinDivine]

Yeah, I did. I have a supplemental fiber that the doctor suggested I use on water fasts.

[@rosainostrosa1838]

What should a person do if they take prescribed meds daily?

[@LivinDivine]

The best advice I can give you is to speak with your doctor. Some meds require you to eat food prior to taking them. I've been blessed that I'm not currently on any meds, so that was not an issue for me.

[@rosainostrosa1838]

@@LivinDivine Sounds good. Thanks.
