I’m a healthy person in general. Not a full raw foodist but I try to incomporate a lot of rawness in my life. But recently I cant seem to get the idea of fasting out of my head. The other day I went about 20 hours. I didnt feel accomplished because I had a big meal when I ate. (calorie wise) Anyways, I tried to give it another go, and again I felt unaccomplished because it was 17 hours and I KNOW I could have gone longer. but when i did have something it was: detox juiced veg: Beets, Apples, Celery, Ginger (recipe from this site. yum)
food: 2 kiwi- 1/2avocado-dates Apple (1t) natural PB and raisins
then when I came back from work: some crabapples with almonds (another 1/2 t PB) and a little soymilk
does that sound ok? Do you think it was sufficient cleanse/ fast or should I try again this time hold strong(er)
Someone on yahoo said thats not healthy, but i dont think they were really listening to my question because I made a calorie comment (totalL 540 give or take some with the juice)
They said fasting just stores more fat, which made me a little worried because although store fat + eating fats although.. they were veg fats.
anyways.. i dont know why but I feel.. guilty. (I hope im not starting to cross over into eating dissorder or anything like that- I do worry a lot about calories, being healthy, and gaining weight. meep!)
anyways- was my fast sufficient/ healthy? (i’m small too.. if you need to know to help better answer the Q).
I think I trust you guys more than the other site with this kind of issue. thanks

bq.(i cant see how your 20 hour fast hurt you any or was unhealthy.. i think any amount of rest for your digestive system is probably healthy.)
good point! thanks guys, i had a feeling I would get a much different response here.
i actually did do research on water fasting before I did it as well. One site mentioned how people find themselves al ittle bored when fasting. have you ever noticed how when people want to hang out they always say “wana go out to eat?” dont get me wrong foods great and fun to make but come on now, lets think of something else to do lol
