fasting - first time ever!!

[Guest guest]

Hello Elchanan and everyone - thanks Elchanan for your feedback - we decided

" impulsively " to try to do a 24 hour fast to see how it felt - then we

realised that if we had times it better we could have had more " success "

although it was ok.

 

We ended our " fast " after 23 hours which took us to 10pm - just before

bedtime and we were so hungry we had to eat - I see your point Elchanan and

if we had thought it out better we now realise it would have been better. We

could have started at a better time of day really. I had seen in one of the

posts in the group about watermelon and so I had some of that in the house

ready.

 

I note the mails on the pros and cons of eating breakfast - for the first

time my body seems to know what to do and I automatically don't want to eat

when I get up - quite often naturally waiting until 1pm or so to eat. I have

always been told to eat breakfast - now I am learning to listen to my body

at times.

 

I have a question on how much water we should drink - I know the quantities

given for cooked (dehydrated I have read) diets - but how much is sugeested

for eating raw?

Hi Lynne,

Great that you guys are experimenting like this. You asked:

Is there anything I need to know?

The first thing to know is to ask this question beforehand.

How do you plan to break your fast, what time of day, etc?

[Raw Food] fasting - first time ever!!

Hello everyone,

Nick and I are trying a 24 hour fast just using water today - we are now 20

hours without food from last night - it is the first time we have EVER

fasted and we wanted to see how it felt.

I am a bit light headed but apart from that fine - resting and relaxing.

Is there anything I need to know?

Love Lynne xx
