milk fast questions

[Guest guest]

I'm thinking, not quite planning to yet, but thinking, of trying the milk

fast. I have a few questions for , Suze, or anyone else who has tried

it.

-- I haven't figured out for sure whether I have an intolerance to milk per

se yet, but it seems so far that if I drink milk one hour away from any other

food I tolerate it very well, even in large quantities (like a half gallon),

but that I get a queasy stomach, diarrhea, or in the worst case, bloating, if I

drink it with other food, especially starches or beer. Given my possible

sub-optimal toleration of milk, would I probably still reap the benefits of the

milk fast?

-- Does the milk fast allow for culturing of the milk? It seems to me that

culturing milk converts many of the proteins to hydrophobic form. Would this

destroy the benefit of the milk fast by essentially turning it into what your

digestive system would respond to as a solid food rather than a liquid? If

anyone has included cultured milk on the milk fast, what proportion of the milk

was cultured.

-- , you've said that you couldn't tolerate milk properly until you

found brix 13 milk. Was the milk you used when you tried the milk fast >brix

13, or did you use inferior milk and still reap the benefits of the fast?

-- Is there a particular schedule to the feeding that is supposed to be

followed? Could the milk fast be reconciled to the Warrior Diet at all? (I

suppose given the digestive requirements and carb content of milk it wouldn't be

possible without water fasting during the day, but I'm wondering how important

the schedule of consumption is.)

-- How much milk did folks who tried it drink in a day? Did you try to

consume the same amount of calories more or less as before the fast?

-- How long should one be ready to commit for before one approaches the fast?

Thanks for any input,

Chris
