Guest guest Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I don't have a computer at home, so I have to write it at work between or after classes. Yeah, so this morning I would have been very happy staying in bed all day...but work is not optional so....!! My job is pretty demanding, but on the good side it's short hours. My main job, I just work 5 hours a day. 4of these are straight teaching with no breaks...and I teach English as a foreign language so it can be stressful..but it's great. I found, especially today I had great and creative ideas about class plans. Like games for the kids where they're totally reviewing materials and learning new ones. It made class more fun and time fly by.I've observed this before...a hightened sense of creativity. I'm a fairly creative type anyways..but I feel it more when fasting. So class went well. Talking very loud to quieten the kids was difficult. The energy wasn't there in that sense, but all other aspects were cool. So I'm looking forward to the weekend, I want to rest and chill. I can't remember if I said this was a 5 day fast..but I've decided it should be a 7 day fast. Since I'm used to fasting yearly, I think a 7 day will have more benefit than 5. So I think I'll break the fast Sunday evening with some juice. Tonight I'm going to go to the gym. I've got a regular plan, but tonight I'll just see how I feel and if something feels damaging, I'll stop. It's funny, but one of the reasons I love running (not the main reason..it's healthy, makes you strong, feels good etc etc) is because I don't have a t.v in my home (through choice) so I get on the treadmill and lap up some of those American reality shows that I love...but are clearly not stimulating me mentally. Like The Hills and others. It feels like a treat to watch t.v from time to time!! So I'm off home now. Tomorrow will be day 4. I'm happy at how easy it is so far. I agree with the dude who was telling me what I'm doing is dangerous ONLY in that those who are first time fasters...especially if you have history of alcohol/drug abuse or if you've been on any medications for illnesses over a long period...or if you are very overweight....you will find it more difficult than me. The first time I did a 7 day fast, it was at the end of a period of around 5years or more in which I probably smoked weed every day, sometimes all day..I don't know how I managed to get my degree but I did. I also used to eat absolute crap...frozen food, processed crap..not a vegetable or fruit in sight..I used to take other drugs at weekends. I was pretty toxic for 4 years or so there...and even before that, my diet had never been so great. So the first time was hard. You need to keep a strong head. You need to reassure yourself all the time that what your doing is for your health and future and happiness. Your mind WILL try to trick you into giving up. You will think/dream/talk about food...you will start plotting about what you want to eat right after the fast. The strongest advise I can give is...dont give in. Follow the fast through to the complete days you set it. If you give up before the full day...3 days...week...month or whatever you decided, it has some problems with your thinking and mental conditioning. Cycles of giving are not one we want in our lives. So set a realistic goal. I did 7 days to start. It was hard but totally worth it. Try 1 day a week for a month. Try 3 days Or a week We are all different. But know that this will not harm you. One helpful thing I think is.' out of all the days in a year that I eat food and often dont appreciate it...what is just one week without food?' Anyway. Home time, going to deeply chill then go up to the gym to train my body and watch some t.v..ha ha, who said fasting/exercise had to be a drag! Oh..this morning my weight was 58kg's 128 lbs Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I read about your fasting and seems good to me. I have been fasting since 1998. Did a 21 day water fast this past December/January and it was good. My only concern is your mention of vegetarian. Please explain what you mean by this because I have also been a vegetarian in the past and while I had energy at the time, it did not benefit me long term. Are you complete vegan? This is not healthy if you are. My suggestion is to consume goat milk, butter, coconut oil and unheated honey to make sure you are getting enough digestible and utilisable saturated fat. Vegetarians and vegans make the mistake of being tricked into the health store brand oil's like flax and Udo's and these oils are disatrous for long term health. Avocado's also do not provide any saturated fat that the body needs. If you are following or have read the work of Paul Bragg, please understand that his original healing and health was built upon raw milk, raw cheese, raw eggs, fresh fish, venison, and raw organic fruit/veggies and their juices. The latter 20 years has seen his books changed into vegetarian routes involving many supplements and are not what made him, nor Jack Lalanne healthy. , " yogini_kayte " <yogini_kayte wrote: > > I don't have a computer at home, so I have to write it at work between or after classes. > Yeah, so this morning I would have been very happy staying in bed all day...but work is not optional so....!! > > My job is pretty demanding, but on the good side it's short hours. > My main job, I just work 5 hours a day. 4of these are straight teaching with no breaks...and I teach English as a foreign language so it can be stressful..but it's great. > > I found, especially today I had great and creative ideas about class plans.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Hey Thanks for your comments. Actually, I'm not a vegetarian as such. I don't eat any red meat, chicken, bird of any kind, pork....I don't buy products made with animal fats etc. However, I do use milk occasionally, eggs very occasionaly, cheese when I can (it's super expensive for good quality here), butter sometimes, yogart a little. I also enjoy eating raw fish, maybe once a month. Sushi style. So I'm not a radical vege, I just make certain choices. I'm not sure eating the way I do is really harming me. Moderation. So, coco nut oil is beneficial. I never tried it...what does it do?

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Yes it is very good for us. The unsaturated fats are the bad ones. They are not required like most health writers claim. many of these people are promoting selling oils in health food stores. It is a hoax. If you want to suppress your thyroid function and dry yourself out prematurely then liquid oils will not disappoint you! Don't take them. Eat only coconut oil, butter, cream, eggs and small amounts of avocado(1/2 every 2 weeks or so) If you are eating these healthy fats, you will have no cravings for the liquid oils and no cravings for chips, bars, pizza, etc. If you can get butter and cream in raw form it is the best. Coconut cream must be juiced from fresh coconut's in a Greenstar 1000 juicer to get raw. Very expensive juicer. God gave us flax, sunflower, safflower etc. to finish wood with. I used flax oil on my rifle stock! It dries very quickly and protects the wood. Exactly the opposite with what we want to do with the skin. , Antwan Penn <esiasemanuel wrote: > > > Fatty Acid Profile of Coconut Oil > > > Fatty Acid > Saturation > Carbons > Percent > > Caproic > Saturated > 6 > 0.5 > > Caprylic > Saturated > 8 > 7.8 > > Capric > Saturated > 10 > 6.7 > > Lauric > Saturated > 12 > 47.5 > > Myristic > Saturated > 14 > 18.1 > > Palmitic > Saturated > 16 > 8.8 > > Stearic > Saturated > 18 > 2.6 > > Arachidic > Saturated > 20 > 0.1 > > Oleic > Monounsaturated > 18 > 6.2 > > Linoleic > Polyunaturated > 18 > 1.6 > > Coconut oil contains approximately 92.1% saturated fatty acids, 6.2% monounsaturated fatty acids, 1.6% polyunsaturated fatty acids. The above numbers are averages based on samples taken. Numbers can vary slightly depending on age of the coconut, growing conditions, and variety.in other words its good for us! > > --- On Thu, 9/3/09, Kayte Pritchard <yogini_kayte wrote: > > > Kayte Pritchard <yogini_kayte > Re: Re: 3rd Day > > Thursday, September 3, 2009, 12:23 AM > > > > > Hey > Thanks for your comments. > Actually, I'm not a vegetarian as such.

I have been fasting since 1998. Did a 21 day water fast this past December/January and it was good. > > My only concern is your mention of vegetarian. Please explain what you mean by this because I have also been a vegetarian in the past and while I had energy at the time, it did not benefit me long term. > > Are you complete vegan? This is not healthy if you are. > > My suggestion is to consume goat milk, butter, coconut oil and unheated honey to make sure you are getting enough digestible and utilisable saturated fat. Vegetarians and vegans make the mistake of being tricked into the health store brand oil's like flax and Udo's and these oils are disatrous for long term health. Avocado's also do not provide any saturated fat that the body needs. > > If you are following or have read the work of Paul Bragg, please understand that his original healing and health was built upon raw milk, raw cheese, raw eggs, fresh fish, venison, and raw organic fruit/veggies and their juices. The latter 20 years has seen his books changed into vegetarian routes involving many supplements and are not what made him, nor Jack Lalanne healthy. > > fasting-health- forum@ s.com, " yogini_kayte " <yogini_kayte@ ....> wrote: > > > > I don't have a computer at home, so I have to write it at work between or after classes. > > Yeah, so this morning I would have been very happy staying in bed all day...but work is not optional so....!! > > > > My job is pretty demanding, but on the good side it's short hours. > > My main job, I just work 5 hours a day. 4of these are straight teaching with no breaks...and I teach English as a foreign language so it can be stressful..but it's great. > > > > I found, especially today I had great and creative ideas about class plans. Like games for the kids where they're totally reviewing materials and learning new ones. It made class more fun and time fly by.I've observed this before...a hightened sense of creativity. I'm a fairly creative type anyways..but I feel it more when fasting. > > > > So class went well. Talking very loud to quieten the kids was difficult.

I can't remember if I said this was a 5 day fast..but I've decided it should be a 7 day fast. Since I'm used to fasting yearly, I think a 7 day will have more benefit than 5. > > So I think I'll break the fast Sunday evening with some juice. > > > > Tonight I'm going to go to the gym. I've got a regular plan, but tonight I'll just see how I feel and if something feels damaging, I'll stop. It's funny, but one of the reasons I love running (not the main reason..it's healthy, makes you strong, feels good etc etc) is because I don't have a t.v in my home (through choice) so I get on the treadmill and lap up some of those American reality shows that I love...but are clearly not stimulating me mentally. Like The Hills and others. It feels like a treat to watch t.v from time to time!! > > > > So I'm off home now. > > Tomorrow will be day 4.

I also used to eat absolute crap...frozen food, processed crap..not a vegetable or fruit in sight..I used to take other drugs at weekends. > > I was pretty toxic for 4 years or so there...and even before that, my diet had never been so great. > > So the first time was hard. You need to keep a strong head. You need to reassure yourself all the time that what your doing is for your health and future and happiness. Your mind WILL try to trick you into giving up. You will think/dream/ talk about food...you will start plotting about what you want to eat right after the fast. The strongest advise I can give is...dont give in. Follow the fast through to the complete days you set it. If you give up before the full day...3 days...week. ..month or whatever you decided, it has some problems with your thinking and mental conditioning. Cycles of giving are not one we want in our lives. > > > > So set a realistic goal. I did 7 days to start.
