Is is ok to do so? My whole band is planning to more or less go on the master cleanse together..for support...Now that I am just about to go off solid foods, I find that it is getting to be that time o' the month. Will it be okay for me to continue fasting?

Re: Fasting while on the rag
Fri, November 19, 2004 - 11:00 AMI think its fine. For me its just harder to fast around that time since I get total PMS munchies and want to eat everything in sight. -

Fri, November 19, 2004 - 11:26 AMYes yes..Um..the irriability from PMS combined with lack of food really got to me, and i ended up breaking the fast on the morning of the second day..it made me a much much nicer person to be around. -

I think it all depends on whether you normally have PMS symptoms and what kind of fast you do.
I think a fresh fruit & veggie fast will be a lot better before an during menstruation than something with a lot of sugar (eg: maple syrup) and less variety of nutrients.
I've fasted during my periods a lot and felt no bad effects. In fact, it felt better. But I exclusively do juice fasts.
One thing to note: if you decrease your caloric intake too much, your period may be delayed until you start eating normally again. Personally, I don't think that's too healthy, but to each her own.
