Hi

Good luck. Today my third day has been the hardest. I'm hoping tomorrow gets easier as they say it does. I haven't been hungry but just feel a bit sick and spaced out. This comes and goes though so when I feel a bit better I go for a walk or do something or lie down if I feel bad. I had to work today so maybe that's why it was hard. I'm hoping to do a min of five days perhaps more if I feel ok. I'm doing a pure Water Fast nothing else except diatomaceous earth once a day. Trying to heal my gut. I haven't weighed myself as I know it will be all water weight but will try on some tight clothes in a few days and that will tell me if I've lost. I'm going through menopause and I've put on a few kilos that I can't get rid of no matter what I do. Hoping this will help.

I am new to Water Fasting this year. I had planned to do the 30 day but got 2, 4, &5 days three separate times. I'm currently on day 12. Apparently when you feel sick, that's a good sign to keep going. It's your body detoxing. Read the posts from Water Fast in cure zone to get a better understanding.

I've also been brushing my teeth this whole time & have felt hunger up until today actually. I don't feel it right now :) . I have felt really stuffed up, had headaches, cold symptoms, sneezing, my skin has had bumps all over & my face flushed red at various times throughout this fast. Tongue is so white I can't brush it off. Looks like I'm growing a mat of white fur on it. I also had a day where I felt so wonderful and energetic that I hiked 4 hours to a waterfall in the mountains when I was camping. I've learned since that exerting myself on a fast is a bad idea. Still I felt so alive and good to be in the fresh clean air with nature and it was so beautiful. I did get weak towards the end and the next day I felt sick and slept most of the day. I'm down 22lbs 😁though I'm doing it for health as well. Hoping my allergies go away.

these are words from Archus:
All herbivores have saliva to digest part of the food in their mouth. Humans are also built that way, digestion begins with our mouth and saliva. Anything that mimics food triggers the digestive system, during a fast you do not want to keep your digestive system active when there is no food coming in. Also toothpaste had very toxic chemicals that get sucked by all capillaries in your gum. I think one should not use toothpaste even when not fasting, there are very good herbal powders and toothpastes that have no chemicals.
