I don't know how I feel

[bryandahawaiian]

To whoever cares,
Man i don't know if I'm tired, week, sick, or just hungry. :eek: I'm into my 1st day of fasting it's now after 5:00, i am fasting on water only, for four days.
Can i do it? my wife and kids left to Sanfran for nine days, and this is how i want to end 2007, then move into 2008 rejuvenated physically and mentally.:) i would like to ask for someone for their own experience during a four day fast and what should be looking for, or a least what is around the corner?:confused:
Aloha,
Bryan

You need to REST as much as possible during your first days. You are in the perfect situation....ALONE. So REST as much as possible and when your Energy comes.....Go for 4 more days. I would not Run, if I had to do something, I would Walk. After 3 Days your Energy will come. I thought you were using Lime Water?

Have you heard of the Master Cleanse? You use Lemons, Maple Syrup and Cayanne mixed with Water and when you feel faint, you drink it. There are Threads on it.......use the "SEARCH" at the top of this page.

REST............

Hi spicytree,
I am using lime and water, not every glass. one of three with the lime.
your support means a lot to me, thanks.
my stomach is really growling will this pass?
Can i use lime in place of lemons for the master C?
should I drink only when i feel light headed?

When doing a water fast -- the first few days (as I'm sure you know) are the absolute hardest.... it's actually really good that you are home alone and that yu can rest and spend the time in quiet reflection.

It's really not a good idea to do any strenuous exercise at this time... let your body do the cleansing it needs to do without taxing your energy by running or exercising... easy walks aren't too bad - but you may get dizzy the first few days... so --- just enjoy the process....

if you feel hungry - drink more water... there is a difference between the Master cleanse and a water fast... so -- I dunno if you would want to transition to that right now -- I guess it all depends on what you want to accomplish.

As a runner you are very strong mentally... and you CAN DO THIS. Just remember that you will have these symptoms ... but they WILL PASS... so hang in there --- you've started this race -- now don't give up after the first few hard paces.... ride it out --- push thru it -- lie down when you need to... relax -- BREATHE..... and keep drinking that water...

push thru the nausea, push thru the headache, because you can..... and because you are able to!

I think this is amazing -- and if you give up now - you will regret it.... You can DO THIS BRYAN.... keep on keepin on!

and keep us posted...

You feel so connected to everything -- so cleansed, so clear... it is an amazing adventure... and worth every moment of detox to experience this transition...

I just completed 4 days water only (no lemon or anything etc) the 3 days before christmas and through to christmas day when I cooked a big ol vegan meal for a bunch of friends & family. YOU CAN DO THIS. Just forget about fasting and do something you enjoy. Rest if you need to. I wasn't even raw for awhile now, I used the fast to clear my pallate and go raw again.. it worked! :D

Rawveganmom,
Thank you, it sounds like i am on the same track as you. i figure if i go through the four days, i should continue with a raw eating life style, i had know idea i would go any further with this fasting challenge, however the more i read and the more support/input i receive the more interest i gain.
Thank you
