As a result of my Water
Fast experience I lost lots of weight,
which it was one of the main reasons why I wanted to do this fast – as well as getting rid of my Candida Albicans, my Binge Eating Disorder and understanding
my underlying issues with food. All things that I believe I achieved so far; I do think sometimes
that I will ended up binging again
one day, but better staying positive for now and thinking that the path to a healthy lifestyle and better relationship with food is a long
way with highs and lows but that I should never lose track on what I'm gaining
staying straight.
In any case I'm absolutely
loving my new weight, I feel a completely different person, I feel younger, detoxed and with a different type of desire when thinking about food.
I can say no, I'm full to myself and I have no issues on waiting a bit when meal
time is coming; I try to concentrate
and understand what my body is telling me, if I'm hungry, I'm bored or
simply craving anything - but so far
I did not have any craving, apart
from healthy salads and fruits, which
it feels very different compared the type of craving I used to have before for sugar.
Since I don't want to lose this Nirvana status between my weights, my new whole wardrobe, the way I relate
to food, I decided to incorporate
in my life Water Fasting from now
on. I already planned my next Water Fast,
it will be only a 10-Days Water Fast
and I'm planning on starting on December
5th till the 15th
or so, as usual it would be also
driven on how my body is feeling so
far for that days.
The reason why I planned this 10-Days Water Fast is because I believe my healing and cleansing
process didn't get completed with my
23-Days Water Fast, I still have so
much to give to my body, give it time to heal and rest. Doing a Water Fast that does not reach Ketogenic status is not much worth the stress really, at least not from a cleansing perspective, that's why a minimum
of 10-Days Water Fast will be the best solution
for me going forward. I'm thinking on having an n-Days Water Fast here
and there during the year coming up, for the prolonged Fast I don't think I will do it more than 2/3 times a year, but let's see how it
goes.
Apart from this 10-Days
Water Fast I think I will use a sort of IF – Intermitting Fasting
strategy as well, but not exactly as IF is supposed to work. I found that IF doesn't really work for me, I like having breakfast or something during my mornings so I don't think I can
keep on avoiding this thing for too
long without feeling frustrated about
it. So I decided to do a 2-Days Water
Fast during the weekend, not all
weekends but I might start this one
if my weight is getting unmanageable, for me maintenance is a delicate period that have to last at least a month so I need
to prepare a backup plan in case my
weight goes up too much, too soon. So I planned on starting the Water Fast on Friday evening, I will try to have an early dinner, light with no fruits so I can try to get into
ketosis if I can, and continue with the Water
Fasting till basically Monday morning, when I will have again a
regular breakfast – without eating
too much to avoid upsetting my stomach after the short Fast. I hope I can find the strengths to do it, but in
general doing my prolonged Water Fast
didn't bother me at all, I actually enjoyed the whole experience, but it's also true that I just completed one and
going back on only drinking water
can be annoying, let's see I might have a busy
day on Saturday so I will not mind
staying just on water for a couple of days.
