How It Works:
Between May 14th and May 24th, you can choose a 3-day period to join us in a supported fast:
- Try our modified fasting food kit, the Flash Fast (easy, done for you, and no prep needed!)
- Or create your own plan [DIY modified fasting or water fasting — resources below].
You can participate in the private Facebook Group as often as you want.
For every Flash Fast sale, part of the proceeds will benefit the charity Feed The Children.
What About Water Fasting?
Thinking about doing a water fast?
The “more is better” and “no pain, no gain” mindsets are so ingrained in our cultural consciousness that we even apply them to fasting.
If dramatically reducing our calorie intake during a modified fast yields impressive health benefits, surely abstaining from all calories — and really feeling that hunger— would be even better, right?
Water fasting can be wonderful. But don’t be so quick to assume that the most intense path is the most beneficial.
Water fasting resources to help you
You may be interested in trying a 1, 2, or 3-day water fast.
Because individuals vary widely in their response to water-only fasting, our group moderators cannot ethically guide water fasts; however, we welcome those who wish to do so, and hope you find strength and inspiration in our community Facebook Group.
Many have asked for water fasting resources. The following list of resources should not be construed as medical advice; anyone who plans on consuming only water for longer than 24 hours is recommended to consult a trusted healthcare professional first:
- Robyn’s Experience with Water Fasting from GreenSmoothieGirl
- 3-Day Water Fasting vs. 3-Day Modified Fasting from GreenSmoothieGirl
- All You Need To Know About Water Fasting from Medical News Today
- Water Fasting Benefits and Dangers from Healthline
Note: If you don’t consider having a little something healthy and flavorful in your water to be “cheating” on a water fast, here are some ideas: What (and When) to Drink During a Modified Fast. (Fruit, mint, and cucumber are great choices!)
Not sure if you want to do a more challenging water-only fast?
Consider our highly nutritious and easy modified fast (and get $10 off):
You’re allowed up to 800 calories a day (goodbye hunger!), and we send everything you need right to your door, no prep necessary, with detailed instructions, plus a free book (for a limited time).
Part of the proceeds from each kit will go to the charity Feed The Children.
