Hey everyone. It is 4:12pm on the day of my water fast. My last meal was 8:00pm last night, so it has been 20 hours since I have eaten. I have honestly felt great for most of the day. My energy levels have been high, my mind has been clear, and I have been quite productive. Just within the last hour or so I have been feeling a little more drained then usual. My energy levels are dropping, but it is nothing that I can not work through. I don't really feel hungry, but I sure am looking forward to eating.
I plan to break my fast tonight at 8 with some fruit and vegetables, in the form of a smoothie. It is important to gradually reintroduce foods back into the diet as to avoid shock to your digestive system. For this reason, tomorrow I will eat only smoothies and soups made of vegetables and/or fruit and the following day I will start eating raw fruits and vegetables again. It is important to be in tune with your bodies reactions to the foods you reintroduce, you may notice that you get an upset stomach after eating something that you have cut out for the cleanse, that is a big indicator that you may be intolerant to that food. Which in turn means that you may not be absorbing the nutrients from that food.
I am quite proud at how successful this cleanse has been thus far, and from this point on in the cleanse it will be quite easy. The hardest part is definitely the fruit and vegetable days and the fast. But with a little determination and support from those around you, you could easily do it too!
Thanks for reading...healthy eating!
