Hi all!
Well, here I am on Day 5. The time has actually passed quickly. My energy is completly drained. I had to go to a job this morning and I could hardly walk up a hill. I've had some interesting feelings in my heart in the morning, it seems to suddenly "act up" and beat hard & irregular. I don't know what is causing it.
I just feel the need to rest today. I am still feeling nauseous and nothing seems to really take that feeling away. Which makes me feel like just eating something or vomiting (even though there's nothing to vomit)
My head feels heavy, like I have the flu or something and of course I am always chilled to the bone. But I think for today and the next little while I am going to have to stay laying down as much as possible. I feel my body needs it.
But I will keep you guys updated. Good luck to all of you and thanks for reading!

This is a reply to # 682,531Hi Sarah, I'm sorry to hear you are not feeling well again. If you look up potassium deficiency you will find that one of the symptoms is heart distubances. Weakness, fatigue, mental confusion,irritability,and heart distubances etc. I think you are still not getting enough potasium and magnesium and possibly sodium, as they all work together. You should get some blackstap molasses at your supermarket or head to the drugstore to buy some supplements, there isn't enough potassium in 1 a day vitamins to meet your daily requirements when you are not eating. But only you know what is best for you. So do whatever you think is best. Sandy.

MoreThis is a reply to # 682,532or an electrolite drink..like energence C or liquid minerals could even help....
Or The Master Cleanser drink......
If you are really strict with the just water thing... then maybe try some deep breathing.... a shower, meditating.... ... maybe even a pinch of Sea Salt in your water could help....

This is a reply to # 682,534Hi Again
First I wanna say thank you to Sandyy and yemaya for your advice. I cant really afford to buy much at the moment, so I just took my multi-vitamin. You're absolutely right, it must be potassium deficiency, because that sounds like all my symptoms. All I hope is that it gets easier! I never expected a fast to be simple, but then again I never expected it to be this challenging.
I will write again tomorrow. My friend just dropped off some bath salt for me so maybe I will soak in a tub and just relax.
You guys are the best, you always keep me strong!
Sarah

This is a reply to # 682,535Hi Sarah, No thanks neccesary, I'm just realy pleased to be able to share this fasting experience with others who are going through the same thing. You are so right that it's not easy. If it was easy nobody would be fat. So I guess we just have to keep our eye on the prize. I hope you feel better soon. Your are probably sick of hearing me go on about this blackstrap molasses but I just thought I would let you know that it is realy cheap. It's about $2.00 Canadian so that would be about $1.50 U.S. It will last you a long time too. Anyway, take care of yourself. Ps. Where are you from? Sandy, Calgary,Alberta,Canada.

This is a reply to # 682,543Hi Sarah. A fellow Canuck. That's awesome!!! Sorry to hear about your headache. I'm glad to hear your going to do the molasses. You will feel so much better. You may want to increase your dose for the first day or two just to catch up on what your body needs. But you will know, your body will let you know what it's feeling. You might want to take a little salt as well because your electolytes work in balance together and salt is one of the reqirements, again, your body will let you know. I took about 1/2 a tsp of salt yesterday. You may need more, or you may need less. Use your own judgement and trust yourself. Looking forward to hearing how your feeling in the next couple of days, and nice hearing from you today. Sandy.

This is a reply to # 682,545If you start feeling hungry again it's probably a need for salt, I have found that some salt licked out of the hand followed by a glass of water clears it right up. Sandy.
