I Broke My Fast For a Salad
Well, I said I would try and go past 10 days and I did, I went to 13. Do you feel better? That's the true test.

Well, I said I would try and go past 10 days and I did, I went to 13, then I broke down and had a salad. I know it's an odd choice, not a cookie or something else more tempting, but a salad. Prior to that I had been drinking the fresh OJ so I do not feel like I made a mistake per se by not having the vegetable soup. however, I do advocate following the book which is what I have done in the past. In any case, I have been going to the bathroom regularly since breaking my fast. That was always a concern of mine but it seems my Colon has reacted well. I have been eating a lot of yogurt and fruit and salads. The thing about the summer is that it makes coming off a fast a little easier. Possibly because it's just so hot and muggy no one wants to eat a lot. We also have an overabundance of fresh juice places in NYC so it's easy to give up something bad and replace it with something healthy. Now for the big question...weight loss. I did the MC for my health not so much for weight loss. If you look at BMI I am within range. Of course some would say I could loose a few and I would not disagree. So yes, I lost about 8 pounds maybe 10. But, this should not be a bookmark for anyone else. Each persons progression and weight loss is different depending on body size and composition. Do you feel better? That's the true test.
Best of luck to all!
