On Day 3 at present

I am currently on Day 3 of a water fast.
1) I am able to stay at home, but I do pace around a lot. I worry that this consumption of energy detracts from the desired autolysis. Same goes for watching the computer screen all day (which may be enervating).
2) I recall the discussion before how one should NOT put baking soda in their water to make it more alkaline during a fast. But if boiling water achieves the same higher pH, that seems to be an acceptable approach, since it is only a heating and cooling of water. No?
3) I worry about the level of muscle loss happening. I did not gain back any weight from my prior two fasts, and continue to be 30 pounds lighter than I was before the first fast. The deep yellow urine makes me think all muscle is being destroyed...
4) Upon refeeding, if one stays raw vegan for the most part, how long does the detox continue?

Boiling is OK.
I feel it is essential now to calm down and start resting more and also cut down on the screen time.
Meditating would be a good thing.
You will certainly continue detoxing if you eat raw organic. For how long - maybe forever :) Given that it is probably not possible 100% I assume you will be detoxing at least some while you are re-feeding.
I reference would be Raw Christina in her first low fat raw vegan days on youtube.
How much is your fat percentage and BMI? I would not think you have less than 10-15% body fat - more than enough for 2 weeks, if you rest.

Body fat is under 10% now (and was barely 10% even before the first fast).
BMI is less applicable in my case as a quadratic equation put into a linear scale does not work for tall people. At 6'4", my BMI is now 22, but that is very thin. I looked ideal at a BMI of 26, since taller people have a higher average BMI for optimal weight.
I wonder if a juice-fast is better than a water-fast, in my case..- Re: rest DesertLili

This is a reply to # 2,297,984I had calculated in my case that my fat reserves can carry me through about 30 days at 26% body fat. I feel at least two weeks is perfectly fine for you even now. You may then continue with re-feed which can be called "juice fasting" at some point - and then juice feasting, i.e. without restricting the quantity later on.
You may need to have fatty raw food to build some mass. Cultured nuts/coconut inclusively.

This is a reply to # 2,297,960I agree with DL on all items and add, yellow urine does not mean muscle loss.
Not analyzing every change in our body and keeping faith in body's ability to heal is key.
