Day 3 of water fast is ending. And boy am I hungry.

So I’m ending Day 3 of my water fast. I had dropped like 2 lbs the first two days. But then last night I played basketball and sweated a lot. My mind wasnt in the game. Not that it would help if my mind was in the game. I’m a waste of 5’10” stature, thats for sure. Logically, I should be amazing at basketball. Tis not so. Well anyways. I weighed myself this morning and had lost 6 lbs from the previous morning! 6 lbs of what? Well, I know its not fat. I’m sure its just water and muscle. The things I dont want to lose. But, hey, what can you do?

Anyways, this is for me to know what to eat coming off my water fast. One time I ate nuts like the day after a fast and they basically came out like shards of glass.

From the ever reliable … yahoo answers.

One thing I’ve learned from years of fasting….NEVER break a fast too fast. You’ve got the right idea with starting slow on fruits and vegetables. I’d start with juices, teas fresh fruit and raw veggie soups and salads for the next week. Add cooked veggies and brown rice the next week. Stay away from processed foods because it’s a real slippery slope to “re-toxing” yourself. Add proteins in on the third week. Eat smaller meals more often throughout the day. Drink water with slices of cucumber or citrus to help hydrate more efficiently. Your body is still detoxing, so keep foods simple and healthy for longterm results.

Thank you “Dr. R.”

Its nice on paper but tends not to work in practice. I’m sure my first meal will consist of cheese, chocolate and nomnomnom. Im hungry.
