Guest guest Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Hi Susan, I also didn't notice any of the terrible side effects I was expecting the first 3 days of my fast. Towards the end of the day I felt slightly sleepy but not tired. Overall I noticed improved energy and greater sense of calmness. I also did light cardio or walking each day....so go figure. I guess it's normal for some people not to have a lot of side effects. In my case I think my digestive system was so overworked that a fast was long overdue. lol I also understand your concern about fruit and juice after a fast, I have a tendency to drop in energy after eating anything sweet or loaded in processed carbs so I am curious to know if ending a fast with vegetables would be better for me. I asked a similar question in a previous message also. Congratulations on your first fast. Lili Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Congratulations, At 3 days of a Water Fast your body is just starting the job. The best way to physically see the progress of the fast is to get seven small glass containers with tops. Save the first urination of the day in your glass jar. As your fast goes on you will notice the urine getting darker this is your body eliminating toxins. Be sure to drink half your weight in ounces (distilled water) each day. Dehydration will also cause your urine to be more concentrated (Darker). You will notice that when you drink this amount of water your urine is almost clear and then it starts getting darker and darker and you are drinking the same amount of water. Your body is cleaning house! If you do not have any bad feelings do a 5-day. If this is your first you will know the symptoms of detoxing. (Strong Body Odor, White film on the Tongue, Bad Breath, Mood Swings) Keep the urine for a week in a cool dark place and go back to it in a week you will be very surprised at the amount of mucus and crystals that will form as it cools. I am going to do a 5 – 7 day around Christmas. Keep up the good work, Bruce Protect your identity with Mail AddressGuard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
