Fasting Detoxification

Since I previously wrote  So You want to Get Skinny blog I wanted to share the Fasting Cleansing we did a year ago. After finishing with our 6 week Eat to Live Program, we decided to do a cleansing fast for 21 days on liquids mostly to finish off  the detoxification process of the 6 week program. I know we're crazy. I don't know what we were thinking but we both agreed to it. If you ask us now to do it for a day we wouldn't be able to. It was like a divine appointment.

Prior to our fast I borrowed Jentzen Franklin's book "Fasting" to get equipped.  We stacked up on 100% juices and bought fresh fruit to make smoothies.

Of course there is never a convenient time to start and keep a fast. As soon as you decide on something like that, one way or the other someone will offer you your favorite meal or bring chocolates to work.

During the fast, the first 3 days were the hardest. You're body is getting rid of toxics and your craving everything. We both had headaches and were a bit edgy. After the 3rd day, the feeling of hunger went away and it became a lot more easier. Reading the Bible and prayer became literally our daily bread.

One of the websites that we got a lot of our info about fasting and the befits of fasting was from this fasting detoxification sitehttp://www.fasting.ws/juice-fasting/



Obviously just like anything else talk to your doc before you do anything like this.

We were able to keep it up for 12 days -that's when we starting feeling hungry again.
