    Default 5th day on water fast

    This is day five of my water fast. I'm tired! I've done water fasts before, but for some reason this one is so far the hardest and has the most detox symptoms yet. I woke up this morning very nauseated, I can hardly focus my eyes on things across the room, I feel dizzy and disoriented, and I can't sleep well. However, my mood seems pretty good, the stress of daily life is easier, and every now and then when some more toxins move around I feel very good with a clear mind. But right now I can hardly focus my eyes on this computer screen. :) And, I'm CRAVING coconut oil. It's all I've been thinking about all day. mmmmm

    Bravo Lisa,
    Hang in there. I'm on day three of a water fast. I felt awful on day two until I did a home colonic on the colema board. If the detox is too much, and you've been moving the toxins with colonics or enemas, perhaps you need to end it or slow it down. Just my $.02

    Yeah, I ended the fast last night. I felt so awful I couldn't even go to work yesterday. I wish I could have kept fasting because I know I was REALLY detoxing. I was nauseated, trembling, had a headache, couldn't see clearly, and then started showing symptoms of a cold.....aching muscles, sore throat. Now I feel like I just have a cold (which is good I guess cause I'm still detoxing), but at least I don't feel like a zombie anymore. I'll try another fast soon. Hopefully that one will go better. Thanks for your support.

    Cool felt great until

    On saturday I finished a short 5 day juice 50% and water 50% fast. Sunday i gradually went back to food processer meal - avacado's and beans and 80/20 juice and water.I was feeling pretty good :) . Ate a little more on monday, little to much felt bloated. Then I felt nausa after breakfast today, and then after lunch I think my stomach said noway and my lunch came back out the way it went in. So I'm back to jucie and water
