Well I failed allready. Yesterday was a very emotional day (yes I know that is an excuse) but I had pizza for dinner. I dont know if my body is ready to do a juice fast but I will give it another try today and see how we go. That is my biggest problem when everyone else is having pizza (my fav food from cooked days) I just crumble and give in. There is still some in the fridge and it is taking all my might not to eat it.

So I think yes I will try again today and see how I go. Tonight will be a lot better cause it will just be normal food for dinner and that doesnt turn me on at all. So lets start it today I was really tired though yesterday maybe cause I cried most of the morning (bloody men (sorry to rudolf and the other men here)).

Yippe a juice feast yummy.

Awww pinktulip, I'm sorry to hear that you were having a bad emotional day (((((((((((hug))))))))))).

I was lucky enough to have the house all to myself for the first day I started, did not have to watch anyone else eat food, especially favorite foods - I am sure that would just be too much of a temptation for anyone.

Goodluck for today, see - you haven't failed at all because you're already jumping right back into it!

I should also say that my saltwater cleanse did not go as planned.  I could not drink more than 2 glasses full, as it was making me so nauseous.. ugh.  I tried, really I did, but I was afraid I was going to throw the whole lot up.  The two glasses I got down did go through me within an hour, so I at least showed myself how it works.

Hey everyone, sorry yesterday I did not post, (day 2) was so busy, and then when the kiddies went to bed...so did I, I was so tired.

So yesterday I water fasted all day, felt fantastic, still didnt feel any hunger, went to the toilet 3 times during the day, body was expelling waste and cleaning out. Towards the evening I had slight dizziness, I overcame this by having 2 glasses of mint water with a little agave in it, and the headache went away after a while.

It was hard in the evening, I still wasnt hungery, but I had cooked a rissotto for the family, everyoner was munching away so yummily at it ...and I felt like I wanted to join in, as I was sitting there feeding the lil chicken, and drinking my glass of water, I let my mind wander to some ripe bananas I had in my room, I ate one and a slice of pineapple, apple and orange...felt so nice to eat something solid and my taste buds felt like they savoured every moment of pure sweetness and freshness. Ended the night with a few stomach cramps and another BM.

Today (Day 3) woke up with a nice big glass of water, and made a 2 litres of green smoothie:

baby spinnach
2 bananas
thick slice pineapple
Durian
juce of 4 oranges
coconut water and enough water to make 2 litres.

I will continue to drink this throughout the day as well as water...so continuing the juice fasting. Tomorrow will be day 4 and I will be water fasting.

I am amazed that I still have not felt "hunger" and that I have felt quite well...be great if I can keep this up for a month...I will see how I go.

I have noticed that I have lost weight since going 100%  raw and now with fasting I expect results, I am still exercising, walking most of the time, will incorperate some weight training to, dont want to be a soggy skinned berry!

PIntulip, you didnt fail, it just wasnt your time to fast, you have good intentions, and atleast it is on your to do list, your body will let you know when the time is right, mine let me know because I was craving a fast, it was something I needed to do right at this time, and because my body wants it and I am not forcing it, it it much easier because I dont have cravings...the path is straight and I know where I need to walk.

So happy to hear your improvements Rudolf... and wonderful advice waterberry.

I will check back later.

Love BB

BerryBliss good to hear from you.  I know what you meant about being tired, I took a day off from much posting for that reason too.  It's great that you are doing so well.

I'm interested that you chose to have mint in water when you had a headache - I also go for mint to ease a headache.  Only I make a hot mug of peppermint tea & just inhale the fumes from it, maybe take just a few sips when it cools too, but it's the smell of mint that seems to ease a headache for me Smiley

Rudolf your progress is absolutely amazing.  It is wonderful that you are getting some instant results with loss of pain during your fast too, that would make it so encouraging to continue. Congratulations also on the weight release.  I did not mention on my fast that I also shed 1.75kg, believing it would come back after I started eating again - but only 0.5kg came back.

I was also drawn to extend my fast to 90 hours, it is indeed a special number. I am sure you can do it & have your PB fast!

I am planning to do my next fast at the change of seasons, it really was a positive experience.

I had only gs yesterday and felt awesome with that, though my calories were way too low (not actually fasting until the weekend). Today I am also having gs, but only one fruit with the greens (oranges probably). Then I will start water fast this afternoon and hopefully make it through until Monday morning. This is my first water fast since being raw, so I am excited to see the differences from when I was cooked...

I've found everyones posts here really inspiring and helpful. Thanks!

Hi Emi, your plans sound wonderful - I hope that it will be a very positive experience for you. 

I think having just had GS in the lead-up will have prepared your body well for it. You would already be in a semi-fasting state with a relaxed digestion and getting used to the lower calories will hopefully lessen the possible feelings of hunger on the water fast.  Good luck & tell us how you go over the weekend Smiley

i can just imagine her' faaasting? why would you want to do that for? i hope you arent turning anorexic. you have to eat something. comeon, here have some of this, here *loads up a place for me* ' ......
oh gaaawwwd. why this weekend!!why?!?
i cant deal with her at the best of times..
WHAT AM I GOING TO SAY TO HER to hopefully get her off my back?!? if i had a car I could go visit a friend and tell her im eating there or something, but i dont even have a car. im stuck at home!
she does know ive had a few health concerns latey, but she will think ive gone "extreme" to try to fast it out.
and this ist he first time ive done so well, im so motivated and ive lasted 1.5days already...
ANY ADVICE??
