I'll be back to Monday fasting this week, 6pm Sunday to 6pm Monday. I can't wait to go home on Monday I'm going to go to Karyn's after 6pm and have a good raw meal so I can't get back on track after having some of mom's cooking and a few holiday snacks...just being honest

I am 12 hours fasted so far and feel it should go smoothly. I also have over indulged and now relish a chance to restore balance.

Happy fasting fellow bandits.

Had to break my fast early thanks to a big shot of wheatgrass juice. I had h20 after 6 sunday till noon. Then went to whole foods got a shot of wheatgrass and a celery apple ginger juice. I go so sick. That is only the second time I had wheatgrass the first I was pregnant I also go sooo sick. I thought it was my hormones. Im not sure why the wheatgrass has this affect. Sorry maybe this is not the thread. I tried to fast. I am going to do a Friday fast this week.

Wow, sorry you got sick!

This is such a crazy week, it's a challenge enough for me staying raw let alone doing a fast. And I'll have houseguests through this whole week as well!

However one of my presents was a citrus juicer (yayyyyyyy!!!!) so I'm going to TRY to do a few days of just orange and grapefruit juices and green smoothies.... then next week it's back on the regular Sunday/Monday 24 fasting schedule.

Go bandits!!!

Jealous, I asked for a citrus juice but got another breville. They are going to return it and get the citrus. Ive been reading up on orange juice fasting. People do it for 2 weeks its supposed to be very healing and detoxing.
Enjoy all those yummy citrus drinks.

oil pulling with coconut oil this fast to see what happens

[Traceyraw]

Sorry I missed Monday but fasting today. MR what is oil pulling. I have plenty of coconut oil. Just curious if I could do it on my fast. Ordered Chlorella tablets.

[michigan roman]

you put a tbsp or so of coconut oil in mouth and swish it back and forth through teeth for like 20 minutes then eject

- i guarantee one thing is if you do this every day for a few weeks youll notice its cleaning / whitening teeth , guarantee . it cleans peoples teeth with coffee / tobacco stains to white from what ive read

- the oil pulling also has eliminated peoples gum infections many times , it draws pollution out of the gums eliminating infections

- theres alot of claims for it , and theres alot of talk about it on line . ive never stuck with it more than a few weeks so cant say , but at the least i know it cleans my teeth and has taken swelling out of my gums before . and i speculate on a fast how ones tongue turns white from body expelling toxic mucous up the esophogus that oil pulling shall help draw this mucous up and out of / off of tongue quicker than without . and people use sesame oil alot of times for this too , but to me coconut oil has some better claimed benefits plus tastes better

[Traceyraw]

Cool thank you I have raw coconut (butter) its thick like butter. I bet it will melt when I put it in my mouth.

How's it working for you? I just started oil pulling today!

[michigan roman]

hey qwerty i wasnt reading this thread because last mondays fast went all the way into this mondays fast and just been posting in main fasting thread . but i think the oil pulling right when i wake up in morning is helping to pull mucous up out of esophogus / throat and off tongue that the fast causes , because usually ive a bad taste on tongue all the way into stomach on fasts , upset stomach sort of , and this fast i dont . which to me is a very good thing and at this point i for sure plan on oil pulling every fast

[qwerty988]

Interesting!

I'm pulling with coconut oil during my fast, too -- but hoping for improvements with a few sensitive teeth and some gum issues.

This is only my second fast, but so far I've had ZERO detox symptoms and I'm wondering if the oil pulling is responsible? Not like I'm complaining hahahahahaaa!
