Re: Fuhrman / Fasting / Fitness? Where too now?
hi mouse, i think you may have taken me too seriously...apologies. i was sort of teasing you over the combination of "try" and "commit". (after my reading Furhman talking about how he had no use for people who say they will "try"--and that it takes commitment. as you know, with the water fast, there is an adjustment you make to the food-oriented body-identified mind, when it starts to whine about being "hungry", esp. in those first four days. At any point it's easy to "cave", but commitment is just a hair of a turn on the dial. like turning a radio. Any of us who've done a longish fast also have experienced the shift in that *mind* dial.

Off the water fast, it can be so much more complicated. Of course there is a more serious side to all this--as you allude to. And i'm not meaning to offend you, or mock that struggle with weight.

i wish I *could* commit to an all raw diet as Chris suggests--i love the idea, and all that, but here in the frozen north, it just doesn't feel possible, nor natural for the body, about, oh, six months of the year.

take care
