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 :)
