NO! The whole point in fasting is to divert your energy from digesting food and have it available for healing. If you intake anything other than water, your energy will go towards digestion. Keep in mind that your body uses slightly over 50% of it's energy in digestion and assimilation. If you was as so much to just put 1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice in your water, your body will recognize it as food and there goes your energy to digestion instead of healing! Do not intake anything but water!
Monitor your blood pressure while fasting. It will lower some while your fasting, which is normal. Just don't let it get too low. Monitor your heart rate and if its gets beating too fast, break your fast. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!! Very important when your fasting to get out of your mind and just listen to your body. You need to rest as much as possible while fasting. Save all your energy for healing. If I can find the videos I watched with some good information in it I will post it up later.
I would recommend that you spend some time doing more research on the subject before you start your fast.
Best Wishes,
Satch

Thanks Satch....I have time to do more research, but i still want try and start Monday. I can afford to stay out of the markets for a few more weeks if i need to but i really need to be getting back to trading in January.

Here is a link. Water Fasting for the strongest effect and benefit of fasting | AllAboutFasting

Not sure if I can find the specific video about only having water and nothing else. I have watched so many of Loren Lockman videos on his youtube channel that it might take a day or two to find it. Your welcome to check out his channel if you like.

Honestly, you might be able to trade while fasting as trading doesn't take much energy to click on a mouse etc. Main thing is to track your mental alertness and/or fatigue and stop your self from trading if you know your not on your A game.

I can't help but be convinced from what I've read that i really need this....I'd rather do a juice fast but we have no juicer yet, and i don't trust the juice in the supermarkets here....it is China after all

I might feel like I've been waterboarded as i get into it...
