24.5 days and all is well.
24.5 days now with continued smooth sailing.
Having a lot of hunger issues however this time around that were all but absent in the previous fast, nothing that can't be resisted, but certainly makes it a bit more challenging.
When my belly starts to rumble, i always wonder if a bm is next, but so far since, was it day 14?, there has been no such activity. No worries here, it will all come out when it's ready, even if that means i have to await the breaking of the fast.
Fed ex dropped off a water distiller a couple of days ago, so i have been satisfying thirst with fresh home distilled water, about 4 cups per day.
Heart still seems to be getting better at a gradual pace.
Resting profoundly and feeling weak but otherwise fine.
One of the great benefits of fasting to completion is that i can be back to my normal eating very quickly rather than easing out with a week or more of juice then a week or more with fruits/vegetables. By contrast, with genuine hunger and a raging digestive system ready for action, i would expect to juice for about a day, then have fruits/vegetables for about a day. I will continue to have high amounts of these foods (about 70-80% of my normal diet), but it's nice to be free to safely eat other healthy foods as well.
Really curious how long this fast will go. Believing i can go 50 days taking it one easy day at a time if hunger makes me wait that long, but i would prefer for my heart to heal completely and for my body to achieve completion long before this.
