Well this is a choice.
Over the weekend, Project Runway alum Santino Rice took to Twitter to reveal that he’s participating in a 111 day long fast. And if you haven ANY doubts about his commitment to the “cleanse,” the former RuPaul’s Drag Race judge claims he’s already finished 90 days of the process.

The fashion designer explained:
By fasting for 111 days, I hope to inspire others to give it a try for as many days as they can~Just 3 days will reset your immune system!

My fast involves drinking as much organic cold-pressed juice and water as I need.
However 3 days of just water will allow your body to heal.

Huh. Unsurprisingly, Rice’s extreme diet decision has sparked quite the debate online as many on Twitter have weighed in on this situation (below).

You are my inspiration to continue to juice. I need to be able to afford to buy a good juicer. I’m using a Ninja blender.

So a three day water-only fast does a body good? I’ve always heard the opposite.

How can you workout without any nutrients from real food? Don’t you need carbs and protein and fibers? I love you Guru, I hope you are ok.

Leave it to Santino to stir shit on social media. Despite the criticism, the 42-year-old has continued to advocate for fasting as he added:
Because I’m getting an over-abundance of micro nutrients through leafy green juice. I work 80-90 hours a week.

When was your last colonic?
I ask because you are full of shit!

There’s a big difference between Ketosis and/or putting your body into Starvation Mode.
You should actually research what both mean.

You’re seeing this tweet for a reason.
Either research juice fasting and detoxification or don’t.
Some light reading is involved.

There’s no denying Santino’s passion for this cleanse. What do YOU think?? Is Santino’s diet too extreme??
SOUND OFF in the comments (below)!
