Re: Need to fast

Hi dear :)

I am very happy for u that u consider to eat a plan based diet eventualy coz it is just great stuff to stick to! :))

As I have mentioned numerous times in this forum, I tried Water Fasts so many times throughout years but even succeeding 2 times with 10 dayers I came to nothing. I always returned to my old ways. I saw every day as a new start of my new life. It looked like a endless circus and I always returned to the way which I started from. So I gave up doing those fasts.... I was on quite a plant based diet for about 3 months more than ten years back (with right combos of food) and I just got BRILLIANT result. They were much better than those ones after a 10 days being just on water (ten I gave up that but due to some circumstances but it is a completely another story).

As for ur stomach being big. Well, u made it bigger urself by overeating day after day. But u can reach a normal size of it by measuring the portions of ur food. If u ate a lot then no need to make an amount of food a normal size stright away. Make it a bit smaller and then just get used to it. When u are sure u can move to the next stage then u know when u are ready.. Chew every bit of food properly and try not to think about other stuff or reading - consentrate on TASTE OF FOOD. Trust me u will get satisfaction (and feel full) with less amount of food (I know it by myself). And also what I have noticed - The healthier food I consume (more raw fiber) the longer I can go without food. Why? Coz ur body has that satisfaction with food because it is LIFE food (not 'dead' one with a lot of preservatives which makes us hungry even in full stomach).

TRUST me, u will loose ur weight, dear, gradually but SURELY. And ur stomach will be of normal size again. Our body is a UNIGUE machine which has an ability to do wonders and heal itself when a chance is given :))

I am SO GLAD for u that u do not see fasting as a part of ur day to day life and know that GOOD plant food can bring u only good!
