My Fasting Journal - Day 29
May 16th, 2006 Tuesday
Weight= 115lbs
Today was the last day of my fast. I will start coming out of the fast tomorrow. It will take five days to break the fast.
I am really glad that I went through this fast. Looking back, it has been an “incredible” journey. Food is such a big part of our lives. We socialize around food. So often, we take it for granted. We forget why we eat. Coming out from this fast, I appreciate my hard-working body more, and will want to listen to it more often. Our bodies tell us what food is nourishing and what’s not.
I lost 10 lbs. Average; we carry five to ten pounds of toxins in our body. So, I really don’t mind to have lost the weight. I didn’t need the junk in my body. I will gain some weight back shortly, and will expect to be healthier.
Anybody can do this fast. It’s more mentally than physically. Oh yeah!!!
Read:
"People don't realize that the chief obstacle to fasting is overcoming the cultural, social and psychological fears of going without food. These fears are ingrained. . . .However, fasting is not starving, not even in a medical sense or the natural sense." Dr. George Cahill of Harvard Medical School emphasized the point:
"Man's survival [of long abstentions from food] is predicated upon a remarkable ability to conserve the relatively limited body protein stores, while utilizing fat as the primary energy producing food."
Nobel Prize-winnning Fr. biologist and surgeon Dr. Alexis Carrel, who spent 34 of his professional years in the United States, described in his magnum opus, Man, The Unknown, the body's brilliant rejuvenative and regenerative capability, inherent in its own detoxification process vis a vis scientific fasting: "Privation of food at first brings a sensation of hunger, occasionally some nervous stimulation, but it also determines certain hidden phenomena which are more important. The sugar of the liver and the fat of the subcutaneous deposits are mobilized, and also the proteins of the muscles and the glands. . .in order to maintain blood, heart, and brain in a normal condition. Fasting purifies and profoundly modifies our tissues."
Based on my experience, the lines above are absolutely true.
Now, I feel happier, and more confident. It’s an amazing feeling!!! Would I fast again in the future? Definitely! Once per year would be great!
Tomorrow I can start coming out from my fast. Well, I can’t eat processed food until the fifth day. But, eating an apple tomorrow, it’s huge for me. I wonder how I would feel to start chewing again after 30 days.
