A day after breaking my Dry Fast
First day after breaking my Dry Fast is passed, yesterday I had lots of Coconut Water, too much maybe since this morning my Ketostix was reporting only some traces of Ketosis – too much sugar. I also registered a 600gr weight gain today; I guess is not fat but some water retention. Let me tell you: Dry Fasting is absolutely amazing; the level of healing and impact with the body is beyond what I was expecting. From the outside it does looks the same like a Water Fast, but once you break the Fast then the magic starts to happen!
I have to say that even with a can of Coconut Water my stomach gets cranky and I have to run to the washroom, so I’m having episode of diarrhea every time I drink the Coconut Water – oddly doesn’t happen if I drink just water with lemon juice. In any case yesterday during one of those BMs I think I released a tiny worm, it looked like a filament, thicker than hair but not that much and long approximately 15cm or so – I didn’t measure it really.
Since I’m drinking water now I took my probiotics last night and this morning as well, with this diarrhea I need to help my friendly bacteria with some probiotics, also I hope they will continue to fight the Candida Albicans Overgrowth, since it should be starving and weak at the moment.
Even though I fasted only for 6 days the refeeding process for a Dry Fast is way longer compared a 6 day fasting with water only, by now I would be able to eat normally – instead I cannot even drink Coconut Water that I need to run to the bathroom. So keep in mind that the longer is your Dry Fast the longer is your refeeding period.
I wanted to do an enema this morning but I really didn’t feel the need to do it, plus I have these liquid BMs so I don’t want to stress too much my colon. I know it sounds gross but this is life, it’s just poop, everybody poop, so I think is normal describing it, plus everything is related to our GI tract here so it’s almost inevitable not to talk about BMs.
Yesterday evening I felt very well with amazing energy and good mood, I believe it was the sugar but I had no hunger whatsoever, not even thirsty really – but even now I’m just drinking because I like the sweet taste of the Coconut Water, I’m not really thirsty.
I’m thinking to continue drinking water & Coconut Water for today but tomorrow I would like to switch to Bone Broth, I don’t like the idea of having so much sugar and I need a proper refeeding plan since I’m going out of town for the long weekend and I might eat solid food during the trip – unless I want my man being grumpy all the times!

Water Fast Day #1 - Giving up the grape juice to fight my Candida
Today’s Monday and although I planned to
start a Bone Broth Fast for this
week, I decided to take a different path
and act more aggressively to fight my Candida
Albicans Overgrowth. So I’m officially
on Water Fast Day #1 and I hope I
can continue water fasting for at least 7/10 days, after that I might resume the
idea of starting the Bone Broth
regiment as previously planned.
The reason behind this decision is due to
my sugar cravings and the general state of my health; unfortunately the grape juice I had last week did not help at all, if
anything I believe it aggravated the
whole situation for all that sugar
intake, so this weekend my sugar
cravings were all over the roof,
trying to fast and stay away from
junk food…unsuccessfully.
I have been also contacted privately from some of the members of
the MFS facebook group, to tell me NOT to do the regular MFS for the Candida, because all that sugar is not going to help the situation; on the other hand Water Fast is one of the most well-known way on how to put some balance on the Candida overgrowth; but be careful on saying on
the MFS facebook page the two words:
Water Fast or you’ll be banned
for life! (hence the private conversation)
In any case I will not drink any grape
juice for a while now and switch to water
with squeezed lemon here and there,
I will continue to take my tinctures
though, I still believe they can be beneficial to kill some unwanted bad bacteria in my gut.My thought of the day: If you have Candida Overgrowth issues give yourself a favour and stop drinking grape juice!
