My 5 Day Water Fast (Results Before and After)

I did not eat any food for 5 days because I wanted to try a 5 day water fast. This is my honest experience and my results before and after. I did this fast for my health and I explain my reasons for fasting, what I went through each day, what my results were and my final conclusion. Also, the Garbanzo Veggie Soup recipe is below! : )

Did you exercise at all? I know this was a while ago, but tomorrow is my fifth day, and I don't think I will exercise. After 5 days of no food, I think I will take it easy.

[@ahomesteadjourney]

I think I did light walking/jogging a couple of days during, just to get some basic movement in - but nothing strenuous.

[@Jackert86]

Such an amazing thing. Id have to includes soup tho but wow. Amazing job sis❤

[@ahomesteadjourney]

Aw thanks! Yes, even just having soups is still a great way to take a break from other foods! Let me know if you do one this winter! ☺

[@Nyx544]

[@ahomesteadjourney]

[@ahomesteadjourney]

Oh wow, severe headaches are just the worst.. I've only gone up to 5 days. I think I may have lost about 2-3 pounds of fat, not counting water weight.
