Re: 4th day FRUSTRATION!!!

I've only lost 5 pounds in five days, but I'm on my period, so I figure that has something to do with it.

I know that Burroughs advises against it, but have you considered colonics? You may have dehydrated waste that still needs to come out and the salt water may not be doing the trick.

Are you doing this to lose weight? Hang tight and see what the ten days will bring.

I feel pretty normal...no earth shattering experiences yet, but you and I are still in the early phase, the real work starts near the end of the fast.

Don't get discouraged...think about why you're doing this. I have a large ovarian cyst (15cm) that I need to get rid of, and I'm also very fatigued. I have seen people cure themselves of cancer through fasting (MC and others), so, from a health perspective, I know it works, so I can wait for the results.

If you're doing this just to lose weight, the motivation may not keep you going, under these circumstances.
