My Water Fasting Experience (Days 15 & 16)

Days 15-16 of my water fast experience!!
March 20th 2010 (Guam is a day ahead of the states)
TOPICS:
Feeling good
Rest
Weight loss

This is my first water fast although I have done a master cleanse and juice feasting in the past. When I break my 30 day fast I will do three days of orange juice and watermelon, four days of juicy fruits, and then following with the 80-10-10 lifestyle (raw vegan foods - high fruit, some veggies and nuts).

I have researched this topic extensively but I am not an expert. Any and all comments, suggestions, opposing views are welcome. Please ask any questions and if I don't know the answer I will find it. If you express opposing views please have proof/source to back it up preferably from a doctor as I have links below outlining the benefits of fasting by doctors.

Do you live in guam?

@mcduffeee Yes I do :)

I read a lot about starting to eat after a long fast, then basically ignored it all and never had a problem by starting with whole raw organic grapes, oranges, tangerines, or the like. The only raw fruit I discovered my body can't handle after a long fast is banana. It's funny because after the second or third bite, I literally had to spit out the banana I had in my mouth. I didn't get sick or anything, but my body/mind refused to let me swallow any more banana for about a week after the fast.

I'll keep that in mind. I plan on oj & watermelon for the first couple days then coconut milk and mangos from the back yard. Sounds so delicious!!!!

Hey just wondering how much pounds have oyu lost in the 15-16 days? I didnt hear a number but I just wondered the total

[sweetp888t]

I do a weekly total so I'm not obsessing about my weight. However I have lost 24lbs to date (in 16 days...not too bad!!)

@kleinphi : It's funny that you mentioned how your body denies the banana, because your body knows what's going on. Banana's in the weight lifting world is a very dehydrating fruit, in fact many powerlifters will drink little water and eat LARGE quantities of banana's because of the high potassium in the banana. It causes the body to dehydrate, which allows the veins and muscles in your body to appear more defined. (ergo the point for weight lifters) Funny how our bodies know whats good and bad.
