Jan 2012 - Fasting thread - JOIN ANYTIME OF THE MONTH

[Traceyraw]

STARTING DAY 5Yeah Me. I can't believe Im doing it. Now its like a routine. Its getting easier to take care of the kids meals and sit and drink juice with them. Day 4 no real hunger pains. Thank GOD. Day 3 was aweful. Pineapple juice, lots of h20, tea, lunch was tomato juice I drank so much cuz it was sooo good I only had water the rest of the day.

Today i woke up so stuffy thats the detox I wanted but Im sneezing like crazy too. It started after the tomato juice. Im at work so my juice for today is Kale, romaine, carrots, orange. I neglected any greens yesterday.

Im so making ginger tea when I get home today. It would really hit the spot now. Im not weighing till monday but my pants are looser. Im not sure how long Im going to fast but right now I feel like I could go for the long haul. Peace and love my fellow fasters.

Terf, I hope its definately a fatless 2012 for me!

Day 6 is going pretty well considering i didnt get my 30 mins morning exercise because of travelling.
This made me slightly cranky. However I perked up when I met up with my family and was made to walk around shops and things.
Got at least 30 minutes of walking in. Then they wanted to go for a meal.
I sat in the restaurant with my water and will power refusing to break my wonderful fast for food.
We then got home and my boyfriend made me some juice consisting of pineapple, apple, celery, cucumber, blueberries and mango. Delicious!
Hope everyone's fast is going peacefully

Fatless fasters. I'm all for that. I acquired a share last year during my huge transition from my old life into this one.

Loooove the book idea. We're in!!! LOL

How is Miss Linda
I haven't seen her for a long time now.

Today is day five for us. We have a lot to do today and have heaps of juice to do it. Parz has released 7 pounds and I've released ten pounds. Looking forward to more releasing from us both. The clarity is here mentally which i love!!!

Have a great day everyone (((hugs)))

Day 4 for me. Much less nauseous today but I have a major headache this morning and am extremely tired. Not the sleepy kind of tired, just 0 energy tired. Started today with a ginger/turmeric/maple syrup tea and eased myself into the day. Made a large amount of pineapple/cucumber/mint juice to see me through the rest of the day. Maybe tonight I'll sip some young coconut juice.

Best wishes to the Fellowship of Fasters.

lee ive not confered with misslinda for several months , but last time we talked she was looking better than ever
and sounded happy . you can see her raw food diet and fasting is making her healthier

[Aleesha Sattva]

You can tell you are an experienced faster MR. Being prepared is so important!!!

Every person here should already know what they are going to break their fast on an how they'll do it, how long they'll do it etc. too many fasts are broken without prep

So people how are you breaking your fast when you are ready?

[GreenT]

Hi everyone, you all are doing great...so inspiring!!

Today im feeling pretty good. Its the Sabbath so i am just laying around and resting in my pj's

then i visit awesome local produce chain randazzo's

Two thumbs up to Randazzos , love that place. They just recently opened the new one out on Garfield, its very nice.

Aleesha, i am planning on breaking my fast with un strained juices maybe on the first day then smoothies, then on to fruits while still drinking my veggies and then slowly incorporate salads.....

[Saria]

I plan to break with juicing the apples in my fridge. Later I'll juice some of the carrots. I also have oranges so I'll juice them and if I need juice while I'm work I can get some orange juice there. When I'm on the solid fruits I"ll eat some more apples and get some bananas which I'm already excited for! salad on the third day

[likestoswim]

Hi All: Newbie here and for sure the senior of the crowd and on day 5 of juice fast. I have fasted before (water only) many times but 8 days was my limit. Now I feel that my health is way too compromised to do a water fast so am going to juice and see where that takes me. I am really glad to have found a group of you on the same journey to better health and wellness through fasting as I know journeying with others really helps. Because this is a new way for me I really do not know how long it will last first time around but would like it to be around 30 days or so. My first 3 days were brutal, not too bad yesterday and better even today. I am hoping this body pain especially my back ache will leave me soon.

I look forward to getting to know you all. Take care, and remember to enjoy the sunshine in your life.

welcome!!! you may be surprised at the ages in this thread. i'm 48!!!

everyone, i think i made one of those AMAZING tom juices tonight... i don't think... i KNOW i did.

9 toms
1/2 fennel
celery (about 3-4" of an entire bunch)
garlic
ginger
a tiny bit of parsley - about 5 sprigs
1 carrot with greens
1/4 of an organic red pepper
1 small zucchini

actually everything but the toms were organic. toms are too expensive for me to juice them daily on a fast so i use non-organic.

then we added in an italian mix blend and some herbamere spicy (i get it at whole foods)... oh wow was it ever nice!!!

so day five is almost at a close... lots of energy today. lots!!!

in light,
Lady Awen

please don't break your fast with bananas. they are so constipating especially after a fast. wait a week before adding them to your diet (unless you blend them in a smoothie)

so... good breaking suggestions:

a green smoothie watered down
soaked prunes (not my fav thing to break a fast with but a common choice)
papaya (my number one choice)
mango
grapes without the skin (the skin is too hard to digest)

what suggestions do others have?

Day 8..

[ushotmedown]

Day 7 for me. a whole week of this amazing fast.
I just feel so good on it.
I've resisted eating out twice yesterday with my family
Which i have never been able to do before. Personal growth FTW.
i'm one of the younger ones here. I'm 19.
Went for a walk this morning. I'm not sure whether i like walking compared to actually working out in the morning.
