Hi!!
I am soooooooooo excited!
I did it! 30 days of fasting! I am so amazed and excited! I can't believe I did it! I feel wonderful! I am very happy.Can you tell? :)
Just a little bit ago I had my first food in 30 days. It tasted so good! I had a few little bites of an orange and a few grapes. Then I was full. I can't believe I was full after eating so little. It was weird eating at first, but wonderful too!
Anyways I just wanted to share with you all.

What changes have you noted?The word "diet" comes from the Greek work dieta, which means "way of life." A diet needs to be a lifestyle in order to be effective. And this lifestyle needs to come from the heart to be spiritual, real and true. - JEAA

Hi!
Thanks!
Ok, lets see. For starters I have a much greater appreciation of raw food.
Before starting this fast I had been on a 6 week SAD eating binge. Sad but true. I wanted to break my addiction to food. I really thought that if I was able to do an extended fast it would help with my SAD food cravings and the binging habit that I was fostering. Well it really did help! I knew that once I was fasting I would not be able to eat all the bad foods anymore, because it could really hurt me very badly to break a long fast with SAD food.
I wish I had chronicled my whole journey but alas, I did not. With 5 children and home remodeling it is amazing that anything got written down.
On about day 9 I started getting sick, sore throat, runny nose and freezing freezing cold. I could not get warm! I would literally sit in front of our moniter heater in long johns, flannel nightgown, terry cloth robe and a blanket wrapped around me and still not feel warm!
I ended up fasting through Easter. That was a little tough. I had to make an Easter dinner for my family including homemade cake and it smelled so good! I even put a big piece of cake in the freezer and said when I am done fasting I am going to eat that cake! But then the next day I repented and told my husband to eat it because I didn't want it after all. So really that was to most amazing thing about the fast. I was able to overcome my cravings because litterally I could not eat the food then, and now that I can eat it, I don't want it.
I went through seriously craving cooked meat and cheese and white bread and crackers, to not wanting it at all, and being so excited to eat raw food again. To me, that is the most AMAZING thing about this fast. It has completely changed my outlook on food.
Also I lost 24 pounds! Hey can't beat that right?! Best of all I feel an amazing sense of freedom and accomplishment. It really is wonderful!-Alisha

Hi!
I did a juice fast for 2 days, then the Master Cleanse for 26 days, then juice (fresh OJ) for 2 more days. I also drank plenty of water. While on the MC I typically drank 8 glasses a day except when I was really feeling "hungry" and then I had 12 glasses. On the juice I just had juice for breakfast, lunch, supper and snacks with water in between.-Alisha

MAMA, did I understand you right, that you went from a SAD binge, to a 30 day fast? I must admit, I've kinda been on a binge, and have been reading alot about extended fasts....I think this would help with food addiction and a candida problem I've had for 10 (or more) years! I'm really curious to hear your reply. A good friend recommended that I NOT go past 3 days for my first couple of fasts......but I want MORE! Is this a dumb idea?
