My 7-Day Water Fast
is completed and today's my first
Refeeding Day, so far I had 250gr
of watermelon for breakfast and
going to have same amount for lunch. I didn't register any weight loss this morning but my ketosis was still in large
traces at 80mg/dL, so – to quote Dr. Simeons - if I'm not losing pounds I'm losing inches.
What I believe could
be the reason of not seeing changes on the scale, is the fact that I
basically didn't sleep last night; I added few sips of green tea in the afternoon that might affected my sleep, I know it
sounds crazy but I cannot think of
any other reason why I could not sleep at
all; yes I always have hard time sleeping during fasting or strict dieting,
but not completely for the entire
night! But again, mine are just assumptions;
let's see tonight how it goes.
After ate and digestion
started I felt very weak and with no
strengths, I know the feeling because
it was even more evident after my 23-Day Water Fast. It still surprises
me to see how much energy the digestion
process takes from my body, and I would assume from my brain too.
Yesterday I ended up buying some Raw Organic Almonds and some Raw
Cashews, my cabinet is completely
full, I don't even know why I keep on buying things! I'm getting crazy
with the idea of preparing so many recipes
that somehow buying the ingredients
is a bit like executing the recipe
itself. But I have to be conscious on
preparing too much food or doing all
these gourmet recipes, especially
because 99% of them are with nuts and seeds, which hare rich in fat and I know for fact that fat makes me fat pretty quickly.
One thing I want to do this afternoon after work is going to
buy a food processor; since today's Black Friday today there are few deals
out there and I found a refurbished good food processor for $60, which is good for the brand and
size of the processor. The reason why
I want to have it, after buying the Vitamix
is mostly for chopping and shredding vegetables. I would like to
cut my vegetables in smaller pieces,
I found that the thick and creamy dressing sauce that I prepare get better into the vegetables while
mixing all the ingredients.
Yesterday I took out from the freezer the container with I believe was cut papaya, it was hard to see frozen from outside, but I'm pretty sure
it was papaya or I'll have a surprise tomorrow for breakfast. I also
took from the freezer one container with a green
sauce, which I'm not sure what
it is and the 2 Chinese zucchini that I
bought a couple weeks ago. I left all this food in the fridge to thaw, adding
this morning my lemon container with
few slices of lemon, to use in the
morning in my water, not yet though,
I will start in a couple of days to have citrus, to avoid upsetting my stomach.
