am I a fasting wimp?
    #5676662 - 05/26/06 11:01 AM (17 years, 8 months ago)

I want to go for a 20 day fast on diluted fruit juice and a couple of spoonfulls of spirulina a day.

I need to clean out and get some energy. Any growth is only possible if you have enough life force energy. I once did a fast similar to this (about 25 years ago) for 19 days. After I passed day 15 I honestly never felt better in my life. I felt incredible. I also noticed I was very happy and loving and accepting of everyone. I HAD BOUNDLESS ENERGY

Do you all think I can make it for 20 days? Do you think I have what it takes? I'm on day 3. Day one was hard.

Challenge me. I dare you.

Quit indulging. Do it or not, but indulgences such as challenges will only serve to bolster self importance, and they will ultimately prove self defeating. So, I patently do not challenge you in any way.

I'm not indulging at all.

I'm stalking myself. :wink:

At what point does self stalking become indulgence? There is a point where "stalking" could become an excuse for self importance. I am not saying that this is the case, but where is that line?

Oh poop! :frown:

Anyway I'm going to let you all know how this goes. This is a serious challenge for me. I grew up with an eating disorder and I do love to stuff myself. Now I will have to do something else with all the feelings and energy.

dude. good choice. but i don't suggest you harm your body. the buddha warned against it. i'm sure a bit of bread or some other high carb food would be permissible.

Fasting is not harmful if done properly.

Not a chance. I have done lots of fasts for shorter periods of time and have read extensively on it and talked to others about it.

Actually what I am doing is not a true fast. A true fast dispenses with all foods or juices and uses only water.

That is more risky long term and needs to be monitored. Although I have met a couple of people who have fasted 40 days on water.

Don't worry, this fast is very safe. I am providing some small easily digested spirilina and very dilute fruit juice. This should easily sustain me. The challenge will be breaking food addictions and dealing with increased energy. I have stated in past threads that releasing constricted energy can be difficult as it releases the reason for the constriction also. This can be in the form of emotional problems that have remained unresolved. You can use the newly available energy to deal with these issues but you will need to feel what ever feelings caused you to bury the issues in the first place. Wish me well. :thumbup: :smile:

A real Icelander can survive in an ice cold water bath for 10 minutes and then hold a breath for the next 3 minutes.

Go!

Have you heard of Master Cleanse? It's a little 50 page booklet with instructions on the "Master Cleanse" method. I have known a few people who have done it for 15 days, and one who did it for 25. They all gave it rave reviews. It's basically lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. Sounds crazy I know, but I think it makes good sense from a nutritional perspective. With that said, I think things like this are generally not a good idea. Just change your lifestyle and make the changes permanent. There is no reason to do this to your body unless you're trying to pass a drug test or something. Just eat well, exercise regularly, meditate, etc..

No but I can recommend two very inexpensive books that are really excellent IMO.

The Colon Health Handbook by Robert Grey and The Master Clenser by someone I don't remember. You can often find them at health food stores for about $3.95
