My fast-- Day 4

[Daniel]

I stopped eating on Thursday, I haven't eaten today, and I had two apples last night. Otherwise, I've had water and sea salt.

I did research this before I started my fast. I think I got an adequate run down of the physiology. I won't lie and say I remember all of it.

I'll also say that it's not an exact science.

I first chose a 5 day fast where Dr. Berg (random YouTube MD) explained everything with helpful animations and included introducing certain foods on Day 5.

Well, that's not a 5 day fast. It's a 4 day fast.

I was tentatively deciding between 3, 5, or 7.

I can tell now 5 isn't what I think I need or want and am moving to at least 7.

I can see that my body is burning its own fat for fuel now (the so called spare tire is more flat and more wrinkled; I apologize in advance if this is TMI).

I'm certain my body has not finished detoxification.

I'm certain I haven't reached a "reset" stage.

As far as mentally, I don't know if I've experienced a state of euphoria yet. I have multiple stressors at any given time and I'm unclear on this point.

Has it had spiritual benefits? I'm certain it hasn't as of today.

I did break down last night and ate the apples for sucrose.

So far, so good.

I'm definitely continuing on with it.

I'm not stopping until I feel a sense of clarity about what I have experienced/ will have experienced.

YMMV.
