Water Fast - Refeeding Process and my second meal of the day

Ok, so my second meal of the day is done; I just had again 2 ounces of watermelon and so far so good. This piece was cold, it was in the fridge since this morning but I was eating it in very small pieces, chewing slowly so it did not affect me much, in other circumstances I wouldn't be happy to eat cold fruit while I'm freezing here in the office. It took me another 10 to 15 minutes to eat it all, so I will resume my water around noon; I'm estimating another meal around 1:30pm and the next one I might have at home – since I'm supposed to eat every 2 hours between 9:00am and 5:00pm; not sure if I might ended up eating another 2 pieces of watermelon home or not….let's see.

Again, I wasn't blown away from the eating experience really, it was not even tasty, I'm wondering if I just bought a bad watermelon since it's almost November here. But for tomorrow I planned to buy some papaya and continue my refeeding process with another fruit, I'm not even sure I can find papaya in Toronto! I wish I was living in a tropical country…mostly because I would be on the beach right now.

I'm somehow getting impatient for this refeeding process, it feels so slow and boring, thinking that I'm not able to eat whatever I want it's frustrating. Not that I'm thinking on bingeing or anything, I'm actually fine but I would prefer staying an extra couple of days with just water than eating this tiny small piece of watermelon; but I guess I have no choice, I need to let my digestion system wake up again gently without attacking it with lots of food or anything hard to digest.

Tomorrow my papaya meals will be every 2.5 hours, so basically I will start at 9:00am ending at around 6:00pm, depending on how the eating process goes, I'm not sure I like papaya so it will be a new experience for me, I hope I will, or my frustration will be greater than today! Wish me luck!

Water Fast Day #17 - My symptoms while fasting

It's been already 17 days since I started my Water Fast and overall I am very pleased that I took this decision of fasting. My results are great from many points of view, just only the idea that my body is somehow healing itself is priceless for me, I had too much going on in my past months that I wanted to get rid of in any way I could.

In these days I'm often anxious, mostly impatient I would say, but I'm not sure why; I'm wondering if this is part of the healing process and soon will go away, I hope so. I don't feel hungry, my ketosis are still in large traces every morning, I noticed that I don't wake up at night anymore to go to the washroom, before it was like 3 times at least! Very annoying while sleeping really. My sleep is not great though, I have hard time to sleep deeply with no interruptions at night, I know that is a common thing while fasting but it really bothers me, I love sleeping and psychologically I feel I'm not resting enough if I don't have a full night deep sleep. My breath and my mouth are absolutely terrible in the past few days, I do brush my teeth regularly but it seems that there's nothing I can do to avoid this thing, I still have a white coat on my tongue, I feel my mouth like I didn't brush my teeth since weeks…disgusting, no options though, so I just have to suck it up I guess.

One thing I noticed in the morning is that I cannot drink a full glass of water, I have to sip slowly and not too much, otherwise I would feel my heart beating fast and I'll be light headed, don't know why and I don't have a logic reason for that since during the day I have no problems whatsoever while drinking water.

I'm losing lots of weight, which is good, although I know I might regain part of it but hopefully not all; I planned to follow a raw vegan diet till is completely stabilized maintaining the fat consumption to a minimum, so what they called it LFRV Diet – Low Fat Raw Vegan Diet. People started to notice my lower weight, not that I had any comments about it, just coworkers saying that I look amazing, which is great for me, especially because I do feel amazing with this Water Fast. If anyone tells you that people don't notice your weight, well let me tell you it's not true, I have proofs.
