1) interesting quote given my recent desire to eat a salad: ..”Nearly anything can be endured for a day. However, if you think the unpleasant sensations will continue the whole 10 days, you will quit just when the cleanse is about to do something good for you...” 2) I came to this statement a little too late. or maybe i didnt, but i did listen hard to my body, and it wanted salad. so i ate a green salad. 3) The main honest reason that i took the fast on was to cure myself of binge eating disorder. i am getting there! therefore i feel i have not failed. the last two times i faster, i ...

this is interesting Get your greens every single day. Eat nuts: Brazil nuts, almonds, walnuts, and chestnuts. Avoid peanuts and cashews as much as possible. They aren’t as healthy as the aforementioned ones. Whole grains: Choose barley and rye. Consider eating some Kichadi and legumes for lunch. Wild rice is excellent too, and superior to white rice. A high-fiber diet helps toxins, residue waste, and fecal matter sweep out of the colon. It prevents constipation by stimulating peristalsis, and making our bowels less hard. Fiber is divided into two types: soluble and insolub ...

as you can see from day three on its not been a good experience for me. i think next time i will ensure i have access to either a enema kit or colonic hydrotherapy. You cant buy the first one anywhere in the uk for love or money and the second is waaaay too pricey. im not made of bloody money! so the toxins have nowhere to go :( and i am feeling the effects. Lax stuff worked a bit, hence all the cramps which lasted for about 4 hours and i felt like i was giving birth. so some very minor relief there. i dont know if im going to be able to manage 10 days without access to colon cleanse. a ...

Currently, In my tummy lies a cocktail of juice (pear apple.. others), psyllium, vitamin caps, flaxseed and water = PAIN ouch!! getting bad tummy pains. think i need to be more careful on what i put in and in what order. after all last time i did this i was drinking pineapple juice and benonite clay mix 3 times daily and i never had any pain. maybe i wil ...

Happy morning fellow fasters! Day four. well last nigth i experienced hunger pains in bed. Those more experienced fasters.. i have read different things. does this mean my fast has ”definitely failed” or is it quite normal? I feel upon reflection that i should have had a juice. i listened to my body and it told me it wanted one. but it thought that if i fell asleep i’d have a long lovely dreamful sleep at night two. not quite. i slept for 5 hours, woke up half way through and felt i was sufficating in my hoodie top which i was wearing for my shivers. i panicked half asleep and ...

Had a stroll in the sunshine and bought a shot of fresh wheat grass and a lovely fresh juice. The wheatgrass tasted like licking cut grass though..mmm. Had some lax tea to try and draw some water into the bowel. Went to shop, apparently can also try: * vit C high doses * Soaking linseeds aka flaxseeds and drinking Since I am finding that *psyllium doing nothing, nada *prune juice doing nothing, nada   [End]

.. Ha ha my housemates just left the house. And DO you know what the very first thing i thought was?? Great now I can go eat all I want in the kitchen! Old thought patterns die hard eh? I cant believe that people LEAVING A HOUSE trigger me to eat, that is SO stupid! What am i going to do? Sneak a hot bubble bath? Gorge myself on prune juice? don’t think so! This fast is a good exercise for me in more ways than one. Funny how you don’t realise until you have it taken away...   [End]

Good Morning! I didnt have quite such an early night last night, I think that the bottles prune juice must have given me more energy. I cant wait to get down to real juicing. Although I did freshly squeeze and orange and I will do the same for lunch today. I was asleep by around 11.30 i guess. I had trouble dropping off but boy once i was asleep i was in deeep sleep until 8am. I love this cleansing sleep, it’s like no other. I dreamed of Damon Albarn, that he was playing blur songs for just 7 or so of us in a room! It was delightful! Then I was trying on dresses and they wouldn’t fit.. ...

Honestly I feel positively amazing and renewed when i do this. if you feel you want to eat at least have a bubble bath first becasue I find that i have my most positive thoughts whilst in the bath or shower. Its almost like the washing and cleaning and caring for your self makes you charged to go on fasting. So my tips: * have a colonic.. im saving for one this week, they are quite blinking expensive! * have a long hot bath every day, have it when you are feeling your least head strong for what you are doing. it will really help! * sleep when you need to, especially if it involves goi ...

.. its difficult to say. i am only on day 2. but i feel that i keep wanting to reach out for food. im not hungry at all which is a blessing. indeed i had some juice today. annoyingly its bottles because my juicer broke! but ill buy a new one soon and begin to use that for fresh juices. But work is not going really well at the moment, and for that reason i keep wanting to turn to food. i also find it hard when i cant make dinner for my family and enjoy it with them. but the joy of knowing that I am feeling better, losing weight and reaping what i sow eventually will have me continue with ...

Peeps last night i felt *like i was dying *like my tummy was eating itself *headache *panicky but i knew that i was having an early crisis since i had been scoffing so much sugar and bread and chocolate for the week prior that my poor body probably didnt know what had hit it. I am worried that its going to take my poor bod some time to recover from this abuse! not to mention a long time for the fat to melt away... oh dear :( Anyway I felt SO tired as i usually do at the beginning of fasting. (I have a done a 3-dayer at home before and I was in bed by 7 every night. I probably b ...

Day one is going really well. Id like to do a 30 day fast but I have a fitness test for my career coming up. this would effectively be on day 12 of my fast. i will need to have a big plate of veggies on this day becasue im going to need energy. i think i should break it on the eve of day 12 in order to ensure i am okay for my fitness day. what do others think, any suggestions? thanks all. heres to the next 9 days of ...

12:17 PM, my first tummy GROWL. I am drinking lots of green chai tea and will go on a walk later. I hope to be able to excersice during this period and would like to limit lean muscle loss if possible. I have a good 14 LBS of pure fat to lose, and I need to fix my eating habits. I can’t wait for the tough times just as I can’t wait for the god times! My first day is green tea fasting. I will have a ’green drink’ and take phsyllium husks too. After I have completed my first half, the 5 day fast, with juice and water days, I will have a colonic. That’s something to work towards. Obviously If ...
