A hunger strike is a well-known but not very common form of protest. A hunger strike can be dangerous, but once you decide, you need to take precautions to avoid serious harm to your health.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Preparation

1. 1 Plan for about a month to get ready.
2. 2 In the first week, eliminate junk food and convenience foods, as well as foods with an excessive sugar content. Buy organic vegetables and fruits if you can afford it.
3. 3 Avoid red meat, fruit juices, sodas, and so on in the second week. From the second week, you can only drink water and milk (if you are not allergic).
4. 4 From the third week, eat only fresh vegetables and fruits, and stop drinking milk if you drank.
5. 5 Reduce the amount of food gradually over the fourth week. By the end of the month, your stomach should be smaller and you will be less hungry.

Method 2 of 3: Hunger strike

1. 1 Drink plenty of water. During a hunger strike, the body dehydrates faster, so drinking clean water at this time is very important.
2. 2 Shun sports like the plague; most of the time you will be physically exhausted, during a hunger strike it is very harmful to do any kind of exercise.
3. 3 Drink a multivitamin with iron and calcium. Vitamin-mineral complexes will help support your health and immune system as you shrink.
4. 4 Drink an alkaline drink. Simple recipe: 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of potassium salt, dissolve in water, drink throughout the day.
5. 5 Try to stay still. Leave the marches for the eating protesters, and you need to rest.
6. 6 Go to bed earlier and stay in bed longer to conserve more energy.
7. 7 Stay away from the kitchen; if you eat, you will not only let other protesters down, but you may also harm your health.

Method 3 of 3: Exiting a Hunger Strike

1. 1 Make a fruit or vegetable smoothie the first day. Try to avoid citrus fruits and other acidic foods to avoid stomach aches. Use watery foods like melons, watermelons, cucumbers. Add milk and oatmeal. (But quite a bit, depending on the duration of the hunger strike. You won't be able to digest a lot of food).
2. 2 Continue drinking your homemade smoothie the second day, or try eating a light soup.
3. 3 On the third day, you can start eating solid food; give preference to vegetables and fruits.
4. 4 Continue eating vegetables and fruits for the fourth day and beyond, gradually increasing the amount of food.
5. 5 Eat toast and a bowl of raisin and nut flakes when you feel ready.
6. 6 Gradually return to your usual food - as when preparing for a hunger strike, just the opposite.
7. 7 See your doctor for a quick checkup when you re-establish your diet, just to make sure you haven't hurt yourself.

Tips

• Remember what you are fighting for. Thinking about the reasons and the purpose will help defeat hunger.
• Don't forget to protest! Hold a statement, poster, or symbol of your beliefs and beliefs.
• Try not to shout or chant like other protesters. You will waste a lot of energy. Let others shout out your slogan. Surely they are full of energy, and they have clear and loud voices.
• After three to four days of fasting, you will actually feel better, and even more energetic; short hunger strikes two to three times a year detoxify the body.
• Increase the preparatory period if you are used to eating a lot; in this case, each step should be stretched over two weeks, or even three (most likely, it will not be so difficult).

Warnings

• Although a person can live on "internal reserves" for almost a month, it is very dangerous. Fasting has been proven to be beneficial for the body, but the timing of the fast depends on your body.
• Of course, personal well-being is more important than any contemporary problem. Stop if you can’t take any more.
