Re: what's the advantage of water over juice fasting? (thinking of fasting soon)


hello Serafina,

here you are! perhaps you got my email by now. I went through all the things you are thinking of, and would never have considered a WF, until something shifted for me after that
retreat. I'd done a couple master cleanses, and felt pretty hungry up to the sixth day.

With the WF, I felt pretty good. got progressively more tired after about the fifteenth day, but up to then I had lots of energy, not to run around, but to make really good meals for others, go to a play, take care of the basics.

it was only at about day 22 that I started to feel crappy--even that was not so bad, when I look back, but i developed a sort of intense expression, like worry, that felt more like hyper-awareness, and at a certain point, when you're living the city life, as I am, you miss the 'padding' that food gives you. but in general, it went very well for me. I would suspect you quit at a point when you really needed to continue. I had originally thought to maybe go 40 days (I was thinking "to completion", and had really sold myself on the idea), but stopped at 29 mainly out of being tired of my own taste, and feeling quite drained. But I do wish, (as much as it's of any use to do rewrite what's past) I'd gone through that metallic tasting time, when I was spitting out salty saliva...

it took me two weeks at least before I even enjoyed food again. I don't mean to be dissuading you from the WF, or alrming you, not at all. I think it's *really* a good thing, if your head is in the right place. ( think cleansing, reconnecting, rather than 'purging' or doing penance) But prior to that, I'd done the retreat, and sort of reset my heart-mind, as well as my nutrition.

One thing you might consider, esp. if you have a sense of being de-mineralized, or being drawn to juice, is following the concept of fasting for 19 hours, and only eating during the remaining 5 hour window.  Maybe even for a week. I feel like it's a good prelude to a WF. It seems to cut down on false desires as well--and tune one in to what the body really would most benefit from. Generally, I find less is more, these days.

 

btw, i did no enemas, did a SWF the first day, and had BMs at roughly 15, 21 and 29 days. ( the last was a sure sign I quit before I was finished: i see it now, but i thought at the time, it was my anitcipating eating watermelon that brought on the BM )

you do have to really keep a reign on appetie when re-feeding. At first, it's as if the body wants every kind of food. i'm pretty sure that's a mineral thing, and here's where the ML drink comes in handy. (even without the C.H)


best,
C

 

PS--i'd try to read the Purinton book, at the Soil and Health library--

I found it highly entertaining, but  I might be (likely am)  in the minority.
