Re: Who has seen what benefits from fasting?

I wanted to wait until after a few weeks of refeeding to share what changes I've noticed, but I'm noticing so much it's amazing, I have to share.

I did a 28 day water fast, with and a healthy first week of refeeding, continuing to eat very well.

-My gums were purple around two root canals, and now it's pink.

- I can function with major energy all day on only 5 hours of sleep. I used to need 10, and I would be tired all day.

-I used to be a very heavy pot smoker and it completely broke my addiction. I used to do it from the time I woke up until I went to bed, and now I don't even want a puff.

- I'm off my thyroid medication and feeling like a million bucks.

- my tongue was always whitish and now it's perfectly pink.

- There was a major purging of past hurts from childhood up to adulthood. I was able to release everything.

- I feel more playful and happy than I have in a long time, things are manifesting for me very quickly, and its supercharged my connection to the creater and the earth.

- I have a new respect for food, and my body. I will treasure my temple from here on out. No cravings for junk. My taste buds are so sensitive, raw veg and fruit taste so delicious. Oh and I am full from eating very little.

- I lost 35lbs, and that makes it so much easier to move my body and exercise.

I have also found new direction for my life, I'm gong to start a business selling and delivering cold pressed juices, fermented foods, sprouts, water kefir, raw crackers... The possibilities are endless.

I'll update as more things become apparent. This has completely changed my life.

I really encourage anyone thinking of fasting to go for it! And listen to your body! Hang in there on the tough days because it is so worth the results.

I look forward to fully completing a fast one day down the road when I can get time away from life. Would have loved to go longer but I wasn't able to with work.
