Re: My overall experience and body response of fasting as I observe

Continuing to share on my fasting experience:

1. Constipation started / increased. While having normal diet, after taking noni juice it eased a bit

2. Irregular sleeping pattern started. But I feel I am having deeper sleep / rest whenever I sleep.

3. Over all, muscle strength continue to increase, and muscle lumps in calf and below neck are almost gone.

4. 16:8 diet days are good for me: giving me good sleep, and the next day I feel more relaxed and comfortable, healing is happening better than 24 hours fasting days. (I am not sure if I am missing something here).

In the last 5 days it is mixed experience - sometimes I felt I was not progressing. After I clearly think, I started to feel the difference in my muscles, reduced anxiety levels, increased ability to control / divert inner anger and clearly process my thoughts and distinguish on what action I need to take, with less emotional burden on my body.

Now I am planning on my yoga sequences, will start any day. 

Observation / Lesion learned: After 10 days of fast, to keep up with my body weight I ate more in less time, and also ate when I did not feel hungry during 16:8 fasting days. Prior to this, I ate only when I was hungry. I think eating more in less time caused slowdown in progress and also constipation. 

Archus, do you have any suggestions on how should I plan or what should be my perception on this? 

I am considering 48 hours fast this weekend. Or should I continue with 16:8 fast for few more weeks, build stamina, then increase my fasting duration. 

This week I plan to do one day 24 hours fast and see instead of two days.

Can I drink Organic India Tulasi green tea during fasting time? If not, could you please give me a tip on the best time to drink the same. 

Please suggest / comment. 

I appreciate your help.

Have fun

Hari
