[michelle allene]

Well I have started a long fast today. I am juicing vegs. all kinds. And drinking plenty of distilled water. Spiritual reasons and health reasons. I am also taking BarleyMax ,3 xs a day. It is a super greenfood. I am actually in my 3rd day. I smelled cheeseburger hamburgerhelper at dinner time and had a 5 second foodasm :eek: . But I conqured it :D . I just juiced and thanked God for my new healthy body I was receiving through my obedience and lifestyle change. I will go on all raw upon comming off my fast. I had a crucial headache yesterday. How long do detox symptoms last? :(
I am fasting for reverse in type 2 diabetes and overall detox as well as spiritual reasons.

Hi Michelle Allene... Welcome to this site! :D

I just did a longer fast in Nov/Dec and found it to be a great journey. There were times I felt a bit tired... would come in waves. But, mostly I felt light and energized. I have come to embrace the gifts of fasting.

There are a group of fasters on "Miss Linda and Path301" right now. Miss Linda knows a lot about fasting and could be a great person to ask... if you have some questions. Also, there is another thread "Fasting Support" that has a lot of links for fasting information. Just click on the 1st page, 1st post of that thread.

Wishing you a positive, healing fast!
