Re: Officially breaking fast today

[Guest guest]

Thanks for sharing patty. How many days did you fast? How much

improvement do you think you experienced with your knee? Hopefully

future fasts will kick it.

Hugs, Kathy

Kathy,

I fasted 4 full days with no solid food, (water only). On the 5th

day and 6th days I had one glass of fresh squeezed pineapple juice

and kiwi, and broth with onions, and then today, my 7th day I broke

it with a salad of baby mixed greens, rice and I had to have a glass

of raw milk, of course! ; )

The change I noticed is that my desire for food is much diminished,

and I don't have any cravings for junk food this time. Amazing. That

is usually what drives me insane.

Mentally, my fortitude was like steel this time. My family and I

were both amazed. I made Peanut Butter Bran cookies for them all on

Sunday and then cooked dinner and it didn't bother me at all. My

husband just looked at me and shook his head. He exclaimed, " How

can you sit there and cook like that when you haven't eaten in

days? " I really don't know except that mentally you have to be in

the right place.

What I usually do to increase my fortitude is remind myself that

there will always be food available when I am ready to eat. It's

not going away. I just don't have to have it RIGHT NOW. The right

time will come for me to eat, and when it does, I will be free to

choose some yummy things then. Telling myself those things helps me

be strong and be patient to get through the fast. And of course,

the best thing is that sugary things just sound totally nasty! Fresh

fruits and vegetables are like heaven.

My knee feels alot better! I am really happy about that! But even

with minimal pain, I want to get rid of it completely. So I will

fast again to reach that point, just like I did with the rash on my

breasts. I am confident it will work because of the testimonies I

have read and because of my past experience with fasting.

I really love how good I feel afterwards. When are you going on your

next one Kathy? Thank you for asking!

Thanks for answering my questions. I was planning to fast in

march. I am not sure now. I am going to Dallas on the 14th to see

Tom for five days and then march 22-28 dale and I are going to

maui. I am really excited! But when I fast I lose weight and I am

already too thin--especially my legs and that is where I always get

thinner. I already can't stand how my legs looking in a swimsuit--

not sure I want to fast until I get back. But that is a long time

to wait.

Hi Patty,

Well done with the fast. Just wondered how much weight you lost. I would like to fast but don't want to loose any weight really, which I know is impossible but just wondered if it was a vast amount??

-- Officially breaking fast today

I am officially breaking my fast today, although I will continue to eat a limited diet. I found myself opening the refrigerator and looking at the leftovers wondering if I was going to have to throw them all away! It amazes me how little we eat around here!

I ate a big green salad today for lunch, and some rice.

While I was out today I noticed I felt absolutely light on my feet and great! I know that this fast was a great therapy for me and I will be doing more fasts in the next few months. My husband has started one also.

I felt an improvement in my knee, but not to the point that I am really happy with it, so I know another fast will be in the works again soon.

Just wanted to give an update!

Hi ,

Any fast, if for even one day is going to cause weight loss. For this

reason, I do fasts at all. I have no weight to spare, even for a fast.

There are cleansing, detox products you can use that don't necessitate

fasts.

I lost weight while fasting, but it has been put back on again. It

always happens because of my thyroid disease. I lost about 8 pounds.

I wish it would stay off! But usually, within the next few days

after eating again, the weight goes on pretty quickly.

When I first started fasting, that was not the case, and I would

lose it and it would stay off for a period of time. Everyone is

different, and my experience may be different than someone else's

but I am comfortable with the way it works for me. A slower

metabolism isn't all bad, in terms of anti-aging and longevity

studies!

Kathy,

Have a nice time in Dallas with Tom!

Woo hoo, and then Maui! I'm jealous! I still have never been to

Hawaii, and I would love to go! I have a friend who lives in

Lahaina and I've yet to visit her there. My son will be getting

married in Korea next year, so I hope on our way back we can

vacation in Hawaii while he honeymoons. That's my plan anyway! Have

a wonderful trip. I am really happy for you that you are well

enough to travel and enjoy vacations. jWouldn't it be nice to

vacation together sometime?

You know, you may consider doing just short fasts regularly, and

over time it may lead to a metabolism change that allows you to

carry more weight if that is what you desire. I believe that

fasting basically normalizes our metabolism to a healthy level.

Just my opinion though. I decided that I do not want to be a fast

oxygen burner! (I'd like to think that the fasting I have done has

allowed me to age slower than faster?) But of course, the real

motivation for fasting is to allow your body to dump toxins. Devout

Jews used to fast twice a week in biblical days, so I don't believe

that regular fasting is bad for us...I believe that it provides

healthy benefits. But I can totally understand why a very skinny

person, or unhealthy person who is trying to overcome a depleted

diseased state, would not want to fast.

The main thing is for us to be convinced and comfortable with what

we are doing to maintain or achieve a state of good health. That is

totally an individual decision.

Have a great day Kathy! (I've been wanting to call you! Yesterday

I intended to, but I went out for a walk that ended up taking 4

hours--I walked over 10 miles! Owww, my feet hurt today!)

Love,

Patty

I hope you get to hawaii when your son gets married. That would be a

honeymoon for you too! THanks for your advice on fasting. I am

very serious about continuing to do fasts. I am however, also

interested in getting away by myself for several days to do a

religious fast. Just not sure where to go. I can't believe you

walked for four hours. I love walking so much---out in nature. I

hate the treadmill. How boring!

Love, Kathy
