Hey Michigan!!!!!

I'm in!!! I can definitely commit to a day of fasting tomorrow! My life is a bit too crazy to go beyond that. I have some Green Kombucha and I'd like to try some of Alissa's suggestions in the juicing section in RFFE starting on page 183 that I've never done before. I have everything for the Everyday Green Juice, so I'll start with that.

Thanks for the suggestion! :)

[snoops]

I like that idea - on vacation next week but I plan to join you the following Sunday/Monday. Thanks for starting this here.

[MysticTree]

I like this idea. I may join in this coming Sunday/Monday.

I have tried to read that link before and I get a few sentences in and give up. It doesn't resonate with me at all

From your own link Mr. Roman ~ " Fasting, as we employ the term, is voluntary and entire abstinence from all food except water."

"A misuse of the term, fasting, is quite common. We read and hear of fruit fasts, water fasts, milk fasts, etc., when talking of a fruit diet, a milk diet, etc. A fruit fast is abstinence from fruit; a milk fast is abstinence from milk; a water fast is abstinence from water."

Confusing....

[michigan roman]

not confusing at all , obviously this day and age the term fasting is used differently and about everyone realizes yes water fasting is the ultimate .
but theres all kinds of health enhancing dietary regiments on differing forms of raw liquids and solids a person can go on , and the term fasting best describes these dietary alterations for modern people so we roll with it

[Revvell]

Well, yeah, Mr. Roman yet, you're the one posting what Mr. Shelton says. ;) So yes, confusing.

Really? "About everyone"???? It USED to be. Now everyone's confused as to what's best/ultimate. Yes, everyone. Uh huh... or about everyone.

Well, yeah yet, how is a person supposed to know what that is?

I'm ignoring Mr Shelton and just going with the Monday fasting idea. I will probably just have juice and water - maybe. I don't have a good juicer so I may just do water.

These days I think fasting, like religion, is much more about whatever the person doing it wants it to be.

I quite like the idea of a mouse in my pocket ... I don't have one - sulks!

I would like a ferret actually ~ or a squirrel. *removes ugly smilie*

Im in with a juice fast. My goal is 3 days but my minimum is 24 hours. Tuesdays are tough since I work a double. I have to work so I will make my juice in the morning. 1 Fruit and 1 veggie. H2O with vinager and plain water. The ACV cuts my appetite.

looked like fall orange crop was starting to hit market when i was at store other day , going to pick up a bag tomorrow in case this weeks fast goes longer because i cut oranges into slices when getting weak on a fast and suck on the orange wedge til its just pulp then throw out the wedge

[MysticTree]

Sunday, 5:55pm and I have had juices - not uber-strained - since after lunch. I will run my fast until probably about 4pm tomorrow if I come off it tomorrow as that will be 24 hours and I will probably have an arduous bike ride ahead of me from 4:30pm. I give myself the choice tomorrow as to whether I eat some fruit before setting off home.

nibbling on a couple oranges before i start my water fast in a couple hours

[qwerty988]

Having a nice salad for dinner, then starting my 24-hour water fast at 6 p.m.

Loving the whole idea of a regular Monday fast!
