Lose Weight Naturally
With a 9 day detox
Feeling very calm and serene today. I took a walk around town and just felt a certain sort of bliss. I had to walk pretty slowly and just took my time since I have nowhere in particular to be. I passed this one street where there are food carts of every type of food imaginable and I was in heaven just smelling all of the scents, particularly the curry that was wafting through the air, since I really love Indian food. I never particularly noticed those smells before.
I'm at that point where I really wish this was over with and also feeling good about continuing on for another 5 fays. Those five days seem so short and so long at the same time.
My face has broken out again for the second time and I'm not too happy about that. I have developed really dark circles under my eyes. I'm now wearing concealer at home even though I'm by myself most of the time.
After this I will do a raw vegan diet for a week and then I will do a raw and cooked vegan diet for a week and then I will do a liver flush.
I can't wait to do the liver flush. Once you do one and you can actually FEEL the liver stones coming out of your liver, it makes you a believer. Plus I passed some seriously large stones in the past, some almost an inch wide.
Anyway, nothing too bad in the way of detox symptoms at the moment. I am still doing the dry brushing and I have started taking much longer alternating hot-cold showers to really help the blood flow and keep the lymph flowing.
Other than my small attempt at exercise a week or so ago, I have not done any exercise at all. I take one short walk per day and that is all. I've lost so far 22 and 1/2 lbs and it really feels good. I'm now in the 170s which is something I haven't seen in about 2 years. Clothes I haven't worn in ages are fitting and I have some clothes that are now too big. I've been having fun going through my closet and seeing what fits and what almost fits. It's funny how you can spend your time doing almost nothing and still lose weight.
I'm usually a person who is always warm in almost any situation, and I am totally freezing all of the time. I can't believe I'm wearing layers of clothes and socks in the summer! I constantly have chills and have been needing to stay bundled up, as we need to run the air conditioning so that my fiance doesn't get too hot, since our apartment usually bakes in the summer.
I'm sleeping a lot which is also so weird for me since I've been an insomniac pretty much my whole life. I actually slept for nine hours last night which never happens to me. Of course I am grateful for the sleep since it does help to pass the time.
I'm actually still enjoying the taste of my filtered water. I have started to add a couple of cups of herbal tea just to get me along.
Well, I hope everyone is keeping strong. It is possible to reach your goals if you want it badly enough.- Re: Day 16 maverick494

This is a reply to # 948,367Keep on going, you're doing great! As for the coldness: same here. Now I've never been such a "warm" person, but I'm practically freezing during this fast.
Today I came very close to breaking my fast (because of the damn teacher) I hope I didn't do any damage. It would be such a waste after all these days I put into it....
Your sense of smell is improving, that's great! Trust me those breakouts will disappear. And btw: Dream matte mousse from Maybelline is great to cover up those dark lines and other imperfections. I use it to make sure I don't look like I'm coming straight from hell every day.
Anyway, my two cents. Considering the Liver Flush too now.
Stay strong in the struggle!- Re: Day 16--reply to maverick494 #33849

This is a reply to # 948,464Thanks so much for the encouragement. I will have to try that Dream matte mousse sometime. I usually use Neutrogena but love to try new makeup.
Thanks also for the different view on the whole "looking pregnant" thing. I usually get great comments on my skin because I'm a freak for skin care and sun protection and people usually think I look about ten years younger than my age, which is 33. No, that time, it was because of my protruding stomach. In general, I tend to gain wait everywhere but my stomach and it was only in the last six months that it seemed that all of the weight was going to my gut which really did make me look like I was pregnant. Since that is the weight I've put on last, that is the weight I've taken off first (thankfully) so that my stomach at least looks fairly normal now. Thanks for the positive thinking though!
I don't think you did much damage on the few little bites that you ate with your professor, since they were not things with a lot of protein and fat and they were veggies. I ate a SMALL bite of something rich once on The Master Cleanse because the chef at the restaurant I worked at asked me to taste a new dish he was working on, which is unusual and kind of an honor to be asked since I was just a waiter, and I didn't know how to say no, and let me just say that I paid dearly with horrible stomach pains and intestinal cramps.
If you end up being absolutely forced to eat something at breakfast with him, at least try to have a little fresh fruit, since that should do the least damage.
Do your salt water flush and I'm sure you will be fine. Just continue as you normally did and don't let it discourage you. You did the best you could in a very tough situation and you basically ate foods that one might use after breaking a fast, so it couldn't be that bad.
Anyway, I'm glad to hear you are still at it. I'm also glad to hear your leg is improving too.
It's nice to know there are people out there going through similar experiences as me, since fasting can seem kind of isolating.

This is a reply to # 948,464A lot of people experience that cold thing as a detox reaction. Yikes!
In my case the Liver Flush was a true miracle -- after flushing the Mother Lode I have had NO skin problems after years of "adult acne" and "rosacea"... I do yearly maintenance but once I got the bulk of the stones out my skin became truly amazing.
Another wonderful thing: After four years of serious cleansing including long fasts, professional colonics and liver flushing... I thought I needed to change my eye prescription, things were purty fuzzy. Went in... needed a change all right -- my prescription had improved by a full point! I have had my vision improve during long fasts but assumed the change would be temporary. Nope!
As far as those dark circles -- make sure your kidneys are functioning well. Are you peeing freely? That is one serious possibility while fasting. I passed a small kidney calcification during my 60 day odyssey, fasting through with the help of my wonderful naturopath. I am always mindful of keeping my kidneys well flushed while fasting. Those dark circles spell kidney to me. The liver and kidneys do work very hard during a fast, while most of the rest of our bodies take a break.
Thinking of you all, sending the Best your way,
Somer

MoreThis is a reply to # 948,602Thank You!!!!! I hope to improve my vision with a Water Fast of 10-14 days!
You have given me great hope!
Also, the dark circles under the eyes could point to a congested liver.
Would you please tell me why you are fasting? Is it for weight, health issues, or both.

This is a reply to # 948,650Hi,
I have tons of health issues such as diabetes, bad allergies, asthma, panic attacks, depression, degeneration in the knees, and really bad migraine headaches just to name a few of them, so my primary focus is for health. Weightloss is a great benefit because it aids in helping some of my other problems.
Thank you for the info about dark circles. I will be doing a Liver Flush 2 weeks after my fast. I think I can hold out until then.
Thanks for the encouragement.
I wish you the best! - Re: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Somer

This is a reply to # 948,650It was only after extended cleansing/fasting that my vision changed permanently... but it CAN be done!
I am fasting for maintenance. It took me four years of concentrated effort to achieve my main goal, turning 50 with a clean pink colon! I am a poster child!
I cannot tell you the unspeakable trash I was carting around in my poor abused colon. I am on the cleansing trail for life!
My best to all,
Somer

This is a reply to # 948,602Somer,
Thank you for taking the time to give me all of that information. I really appreciate it since I would not have thought of those things. I plan to try colonics in the future. I feel like I am drinking enough water but I will drink some more as you suggest.
Thanks for all of the encouragement and kind thoughts.
Wishing you the best!

This is a reply to # 948,674Yes, as a heavy duty industrial strength colon cleanser (it took me four years of concentrated effort to reach my main goal, turning 50 with a clean pink colon)... I could never have done the work without professional colonics.
That said, colonics are not created equal! Be sure to shop around for the best of the best... state of the art equipment and good training, plus a background of lots of colonics! Interview your colonic therapist and tour the equipment that will be used. You need to be comfortable with your therapist and the environment you will be working in. If you get a good one, there is no more productive or pleasant experience!
It's amazing how much water it takes to stay fully hydrated while fasting. My back teeth are definitely floating, yet I am peeing minimally and my lips are dry. Must... drink......... mooooorrre!
Chug-a-lug,
Somer

This is a reply to # 948,367I enjoyed your post very much -- great work!
I have done several long fasts (30, 45, 60 days) and many shorter ones, mainly for colon cleansing purposes. The 60 days I did The Master Cleanse to day 48 when I experienced True Hunger for the first time (!), and my wonderful naturopath switched me to fruit/veg juices to day 60. I have always had amazing energy on the Master-Cleanse and juices, continuing my regular gym routine every day barring detox crises, with energy to spare.
The big difference I am experiencing with water is the lack of energy. I mostly lounge around, even napping! I feel fine, very mellow. I am drinking water with the inspiration of many things I have read, notably falconblanco and the International Hygienists. I feel that I am clean enough at this point to Water Fast without hurting (!) and am interested in the Deeper Clean described by so many.
This is the end of day 4 for me, and I get great inspiration from those of you drinking water and continuing to function past day 10! Go get 'em!
Best to all,
Somer
