Water Fast Journey

[nickness89]

I was going to make this a journal entry, but I like people to discuss things as I document.

This is going to be my little diary that will be updated on a daily basis, and will documment my 30 day water fast.

For those who don't know, a water fast is basically when you spend a period of more than one day with no juices, no foods, no toxic substances (cigarettes, alcohol, drugs etc) in order to detoxify your body of decades of toxic build-up. Others use the fast for religious reasons also, and it gives the digestive system a rest in order to allow your body to go into ketosis so it can dedicate it's energy to eating up viruses, bacteria, tumours, dead or dying cells, poisons and abscesses etc in order to live.

I'm doing this fast for spiritual peace of mind, as I can sometimes be a greedy guts, hell-bent on material things I am also a smoker and drinker, and take the occassional smoke of other substances. I have low blood pressure, sore joints and am often ill, and constantly suffer from allergies, so a water fast should help, as it has been shown to cure and prevent many sicknesses, and promote a boosted immune system.

So here we go ...


Day 1 - 16/08/2011

I have woken up with no cigarettes, I usually smoke about 20 a day, and so far I'm feeling the need for nicotine. I won't have one though, I've left my ID at my mum's in a different town so I won't be sold any. I don't usually eat until 5pm, so I'm not hungry as of yet. Have a 3 Litre bottle to keep my water consumption easily measurable, and have drunk roughly 1 Litre so far, and it's 1pm. I aim to drink 5 Litres per day, as when I go into Ketosis I will need to urinate and sweat my toxins out (lovely imagery, I know ).

So that's day one, I thought I'd write it early as I know that's it's just going to be a case of craving cigarettes and being hungry. I'll probably go through a psychological soup mix as I write this diary daily, and I'm sure you'll look forward to reading my symptoms of yellow skin, nausea and light-headedness

Feel free to comment on here.

EDIT: I am taking multi-vitamins for those who don't condone fasting. Also, for those who will say ''your body will eat your muscle and protein stores'' ... This only happens for roughly 24 - 36 hours, when your body reaches ketosis, it is only your excess body fat that is burned and catabolised, the body keeps muscle-mass as it is essential for movement.
