Hi Everyone!
Everyone said that you "just know" when it is time to stop and now I just know.
I began drinking water melon juice today. Actually, had a carrot juice last night too.
I spoke with a naturopath about the nausea I was feeling drinking the lemonade and he said it was toxins and to add a little ginger juice and that would deal to the nausea.
I did not get around to trying this in the end, but someone else may like to!
It feels a little strange stopping, but also much like when I began this fast. I found this site, something clicked and I started the next day. Last night something just clicked I just knew I was coming off the next day.
I have been dead curious to know when this moment would be and here it is.
In the beginning I did not imagine that I would go for even 10 days. I went very much day by day. My maximum time without food in the past before I started feeling bad was 3 - 4 hours - and that was when I was attempting to fast!(which I did twice in my 37year history!) I must say the lemonade really dealt to that side of things. I just didn't feel hungry at all.
I know that one of my concerns going into this was weight loss. Most people would have described me as slim/average.
I did not lose a miligram for 2 weeks - I stayed bang on 60kg - like ALL the time - regardless of when I weighed myself. I tested the scales to see if they were actually working.
My weightloss at this point is 5kg - I am now at 55kg. 2 kg I lost overnight when I did a flush the weekend before last and it never came back.
My tongue was completely covered with thick white "hairy" stuff when I began. I now have 2cm of pink around the circumferance of my tongue and the white in the middle is "thin" and you can see pink through it.
I felt great for the first 20-22 days - barring day three on which I woke up feeling incredibly dizzy, weak and nauseous. That lastest about 2 hours from memory.
It was around day 22 that I found myself decreasing the amount of shakes I was having and feeling sick drinking them and after drinking them.
I did two flushes on this fast - which, if you want to know about you can check the
Liver Flush Forum .
I was tested for allergies a week or so ago and tested as having no allergies. I am interested to see how I test after the fast and to see how I respond to challenges. The tester was unable to test for intolerances, so the status of my chemical intolerances to scillicilates and amines etc and whether I will be able to return to eating fruit, it still up in the air. Because this is a loading issue, it can not be tested for.
Well ,that is me for now. I am looking forward to feeding my body nourishing, healthy food to keep it on its healing path.
