• Wow, that does not sound like he is taking in enough calories at all. I can consume upwards of 1600 calories in a day on fruit alone (7 bananas in a sitting if I’m hungry) and I am slim. I doubt his weight will stabilize if he continues to eat as he…

• I restarted my fast. My body simply isn’t taking to food very well and I’ve been feeding it gently. It is still in major cleansing mode. So off I go, for round 2. I WILL meet my goal; no matter what. However, I do not feel like the internet is helpf…

• thanks guys! I’m starting to think I wasn’t done fasting. :-( Since I broke my fast I’ve been balling my eyes out. I think I broke it too early, right when things were getting good. And I know I broke it because I was feeling emotional. Oy… I may st…

• DAY FIVE and I just broke my fast on watermelon! LOL I’m glad I broke it. My choice was very firm and purposely. I was getting crazy desires for things that I haven’t eaten in ages and my job has been feverishly demanding. It scared me a little. I j…

• El-bo – of course I don’t hate you, friend! ::::huggles::: I TOTALLY understand. Water fasting is so tough and you need to listen to your body. The great thing about fasting is that you can start or stop a fast at any time. No biggie…you gave your b…

• Thanks, Bubbaw! El-bo – yep, all I did for the first 2-3 days was CONSTANTLY distract myself and relax. I was on the internet a lot, ha. I watched a few movies. Started a new book. Took a bubble bath. I’m obsessed with music right now. Around the st…

• ELBO! So great to see you back. You’ve been in my thoughts. I’m so close to day 4 that I can TASTE IT! (and I actually can…my ketosis has started, my tongue is thickly coated!) When I saw how white my tongue looked the other day, I was OVERJOYED! I …

• Elbo- I’ll see you on your return! Take care and safe journey… Mamamilk – Thanks for your feedback! “when your body (the physical you) starts to scream, “I’m dying!!!” just say, “yeah, that’s the point”” BRILLIANT! Ego-death is something I understan…

• True…I don’t want to make my body work any more then necessary right now. In fact I’m realizing that one of the things I like best about water fasting is that I “give myself permission” (doesn’t happen often, ha) to rest and relax! It’s wonderful, a…

• Yes, I GOT IT! Thanks muchly! I will listen to it tomorrow after waking up…perfect motivation. Oh and a question: ICE CUBES. They’re technically water…found in nature. Can I eat some while fasting or should I refrain from ALL oral action until the f…

• Awesome to hear about raw couples! Thanks.

  in He said, She said and who started it? Comment by MOTH
• For me, heavier foods are rooty type vegetables, like broccoli and califlower. Anything that grows from the earth feels hearty and grounding to me. (as opposed to fruit, less hearty)

  in Heavier foods without high fat? Comment by MOTH
• Fats and I do not get along. Not only do I feel heavy and sleep and bloated after I eat an overt fat, but I also seem to get depressed. Onions and garlic – nah, I’ll pass. :-) They make me stinky and my body seems to detox them as soon as they go in…

• I didn’t have my period for a few months when I went raw. Then, I had a brief time where I was eating A LOT of avocados, and it came back STRONG for a month or two. Then I cut out all overt fat, and now it’s gone again, but I still get period-like s…

• I’ve been experimenting with juice fasting/feasting over the past few weeks. Just a day or two each time before eating minimally and going back to juicing. But I’d like to do something longer, so I’m going to keep it up as long as I can. This is day…

• OH HELL YEAH, there is NOTHING SEXIER then a yogi, in my opinion. Seriously. I could easily date a non-raw yogi. Because then we could do yoga together. :-) I haven’t started my classes yet still because I felt a call to fast and focusing more on re…
