I want to thank everyone who has participated in this RawFoodTalk.com forum. There have been some amazing exchanges here and so many words of wisdom spoken. But its time for me to close this board. I am moving on to new ventures and feel that its time for me to let this go. A forum of this size takes loads of money, time and energy. I have not been keeping up with the forum upgrades, the spam problems, etc…. which is resulting in many disgruntled emails and people calling the office daily. I’m sorry to disappoint the many of you who have spent your time and wonderful words of help and inspiration here. I hope that you have all benefited from this board and that it has helped you on your path to optimal health. I know many of you have made lasting friendships here as well. I will leave this board up for a month of so, so that you may copy what you need and any information you would like to save.

Thank you for being part of the RawFoodTalk.com community! It’s been a wonderful ride! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for all of you and of course, you can keep up with my adventures through my blog, Facebook and twitter. I am continuing my certification trainings and there will be some exciting new classes, events and projects coming into fruition in the near future!

All my best,
Alissa

I'm coming to look forward to my weekly water fasts of 36 hours duration. It's seems a little odd to look forward to nothing but I suppose it's rather more than nothing in reality!

I am finding that this fasting once a week is really keeping me on raw much better than just doing raw was. Since The beginning of October I have had two small slip-ups but they have not caused a land-slide into bad eating habits. They have just been and then they are passed :)

I may fast for longer at winter solstice. I would like to do a longer fast again and we have almost two weeks off work for the holidays so I should be able to turn at least one week of that over to fasting and meditation.

What a gorgeous gift you are giving your Self.

My self has been sorely tried of late but now I am pretty happy with where and how I am living and with whom I am living. I'm going to be even lovelier to my self soon by building a kiln and getting back into ceramics again :)

oh that is a lovely thing to gift yourself!!!

part of me wants to carry this fast on. However, I am on a course today and tomorrow and I have food to take with me. I may just do a further 12 hours and eat this evening instead of breaking this morning. I'll see what happens. I drank 4.5 litres water yesterday. That is a fair bit for me. I will have to get my fav bottled water to take with me - looks as though I'm sticking with it for now :)

I hear you... at this moment I just don't want to stop fasting. I'm really enjoying how I feel.

It feels right though the edge of a headache is starting - 4.5 litres water today so I shouldn't be dehydrated. Will probably break with melon tomorrow morning.

melon juice or melon slices?

I was thinking of small cubes as I can't juice while on the health and safety course but now time has moved on and I am considering another day of water. Slight concern that even after 4.5 litres of water that my pee is not as pale as I feel it should be and I'm wondering if I have a water infection but can't think why I should. it's not odourless but it's not offensive either! I had no trouble drinking 4.5 litres but not really wanting more at the moment. Will see how things are first thing tomorrow. Another thing I have noticed when I water fast is that I seem to run a slight temperature during the day. Not sure why. I would have expected to feel cold rather than warm. It might be that I actually do need to drink more because of the raised body temp. I was actually sweating today and I don't think it was too hot a room.

Pee is fine. Perhaps it was just the different coloured porcelain at the college or maybe my kidneys were shifting stuff. I don't suppose sitting at a desk all day helped. When I'm at work I do get to walk around the building a fair bit.

ah good to hear. at 4.5 litres I would expect your urine to be clear.
