Re: May I drink tea while fasting?

Who is talking about indefinately?

I was just making a point that the odd cup of tea without the honey/milk, would be a minor indiscretion, and not a major catastrophy, and i would doubt that it would ruin the fast.

Yes, you are a purist. LOL. And you have every right to be, this is the waterfast forum afterall, not a waterfast but you can have this and that forum LOL. But most of us are not perfect, and if it takes falling off the wagon a few times to complete a fast, it is a means to an end in my opinion.

If you are already used to drinking just water it doesn't come as such a hardship as it does for those of us who normally drink tea and coffee or whatever. I have gone 5 days without coffee now, this time around but still drink a couple of teas, that is my next aim, to drink them weaker, then without milk and then cut out completely. Then i'm caffiene free, but giving up coffee was the hard part.

You have the luxury of already being a raw foodist, so you will obviously find it easier than others to adjust to the waterfast. A lot of us are still trying to get there and will make lots of mistakes and do things we are not supposed to do while we get there.

If i have to make my journey by going around the scenic route, juicing to start or whatever it takes to eventually do the water for longer than a few days, i will, and i will not see that as any sort of failure on my part. Tweet
