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*

I'm curious MR why you are fasting from 6pm to 6pm rather than going the entire day without solids?

And Rev, the great thing about smilies is... you don't have to use them. ;)

I started my first fast. I made juice with dinasour kale and the green odor is really strong, I added celery, apples, and oranges. It tastes good if I hold my nose. I also made apple cranberry sooo good. Im looking forward till tomorrow.

monday fasting club is more for family / friends / s.a.d. eaters than me , my reasoning was whats easiest way to get people started on appetite control / changing diet / fasting . i determined if people could get off work friday then pig out all weekend they could be content and easily then go 24 hours on water . the sunday 6pm start allows 48 hours huge pig out time every weekend so people feel rested and fed fat over their weekend break from work to recharge . then once seeing thats possible build up to longer distances / better diets / greater appetite control . and even for healthy eaters 24 hours off eating per weak is nothing but healthy , and the sunday 6pm start time like stated makes it easiest . then once get into the weekly fast habit it becomes alot easier to ease into longer fasts . so this is my method of easiest way to develop fasting habit

hopefully i extend this fast a while , if so the apple / cranberry juice is on menu . both in prime season - apples vita c - cranberries antioxidant plus uti fighting properties - plus sounds good tasting

Please let me know Aleesha, where is the option to switch them off when posting?

s'ok, I found it in "go advanced". I usually just use the quick reply button but I'll go the extra mile to reply without the demon smile!

Of course I know that. They used to be a great way of expressing ourselves. Too bad they've been changed.

YAYYYY -- great job! I love love love a juice fast.... and apple and cranberry sounds DELISH.

My stomach's a bit grumbly because I'm just doing water (since my fast is only 24-hours).

I've never done just water before.... but what I like about 6 p.m. to 6 p.m. is your body doesn't have to go a whole day without food, even though it's for a 24-hour period. So I might feel a bit hungry today, but I know I'll have something tonight, so mentally it's not that hard to stick to!

Hummmmm.... My tummy is grumbly too. And I just had orange juice which didn't help at all. Had 2 fantastic bm's today!!! Still not going beyond today. I wish I could, but my life is waaay too insane! I will enjoy today, though...

My daughter still has a headache, so I made her some of my Celery/Apple juice and she said she feels better! I love that juice....incredibly refreshing!

I love this thread. Funny I missed it...

I am doing this for a few months now and love it. I start my water fast after my last meal on Sunday eveing and usually fast for about 40 hrs. So I start eating again Tuesday around noon, usually a green veggie juice and then solids in the eveing. I simply love it, it really works well in my life. I live in Northern Canada now and longer (juice) fasts are difficult to do in winter since it is so cold. This way I feel I can really maintain my health and especially keep my collitis under control. It works really well.

I also run on Tuesday morning after about 36 hr water fast and I love that too. I am amazed how great my run is after fasting. I am faster and feel like I am flying. It's a great experience.

It's Monday now so I am in my water fast. It's very easy....hope you are all doing great. Thanks for the thread!

[ReneeH]

Hanneke, what an inspiration you are! I'd LOVE to try that! I've never done just straight water...don't know if I'm that brave yet! I think juicing is like a crutch for me. Well, maybe someday... It's been a GREAT day, though!!!! Except I'm sick of cleaning my juicer!!!! But I didn't realize how much I have missed juicing!
