Water Fast - Day 3

Wow! What an amazing experience.

I weighed myself on the night of Day 3 and listen to this: Since the detox started I've lost 19 pounds! I am 161 at this point! Amazing. And I've got 14 more hours of the water fast to go during which time I might lose one more pound.

The truth is that even though we've been eating really healthy food for three weeks, on the first and second day of the water fast I was getting flashes of tasty and unhealthy restaurant food. I was thinking of the best malaysian/thai/chinese food to mcdonalds to indian food. I read online that the urges and cravings for food that we get are from a set of brain cells that monitor the blood sugar level. So, it's not really the body asking for food for it's functioning. I also found that after the second half of the third I completly stopped thinking of food. I read that when the body starts breaking down the stored body fat, the blood sugar level goes up again and brain cells are fooled into thinking there's a food supply again.

My rate of metabolism had gone down considerably during the first couple of days. I've been laying low mostly over the weekend when I could. But, I've also been up and about. I read that it's good to be inward focussed during the fast and that's what I've tried to do. All in all, I would totally recommend a 3-4 day water fast after a period of detox diet. It's a great experience.

Peace :)

Week 4

Folks,

Week 4 has been by far the most amazing! Mon through Thursday, we had a diet similar to Week 3. That means, no dairy, no alcohol, no coffee, no bread, just veggies and fruits, organic whenever possible, oven roasted chicken and veggies and brown rice and lentils.

BUT, Fri through Monday we did a water fast. Yes only water :)
