Results of Qigong Qi Fasting

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

My qigong teacher suggested that we try out a " qi fast " where we

primarily eat " qi " (as I described in an earier message) while

supplementing with vegetables, fruits, and some meat as we feel like

it. The qigong we practice consists of " whole body natural (Buddhist)

and reverse (Daoist) breathing.

 

The results after three weeks are interesting:

 

Overall, we (my wife and I) are eating two light meals a day vs. three

regular meals that we use to eat. These are some results so far. How

meaningful they are remains to be seen.

 

Weight: dropped 18 pounds

Blood pressure: dropped from an average of about 120/80 to 105/68

pulse: dropped from an average of about 72 to about 58

 

My wife has also had some very good results, losing about 15 pounds so

far. It is very interesting and in some ways very surprising results.

I guess it shows that eating qi, vegetables, and fruit is somewhat

healthier than eating hamburgers. :-)

 

Regards,

Rich

Hi Rich!

 

In my experience, anyone who loses more than 1 lb per week will experience

what might be called a " relapse " , gaining all the weight back plus some. I

hope your " eating qi " makes this not happen.
