Re: another fasting question...to continue or not?

Hi katie,

I am 5'5" tall, my body mass was 113 Ibs when I started on Sunday my water fast. I am going to fast as long as I feel comfortable.

Because I eat nutritionally dense food, I am sure that my body will withstand several weeks of a water fast.

I think that you may continue your fast until you decide that your body is ready to live again.

Please do not forget to measure your blood pressure and heart rate every day. Sudden changes in their values may serve as a first warning sign that it is time to start your re-feeding, even if your tongue is still coated.

For me fasting is not living but surviving. I fast because I need to heal my body. I do not fast for a pleasure.

I really do not like fasting at all. In fact, I really love my life that includes food, aromatic, colourful, and tasty. I love drinking green juice with maca and nutritional yeast! I love fresh vegetable salads with some nuts and seeds!

However, I fast because I made my own decision to upgrade my health without any medication. I repeat it to myself again and again; That is why I am able to continue fasting. I feel that I am my own doctor. I feel that I am in power.

I am impressed by your enthusiastic approach towards a water fast.

Happy fasting!

Love,
Anne
