Difference between starving and Ketosis

I’m always curious to learn about other people’s Fasting experiences so I watch lots of videos and sometime I come across vloggers doing all sort of Fasts. Mono-fruit fasts, bacon fast, juice fast and so on. One thing I don’t understand is why people do not research anything about health or how the body works before beginning these types of fasts. I mean, if you’re followed by a doctor or a clinic, that’s fine – I’m sure they’re professionals and they know what they are doing….well at least in most of the cases I guess. But if you’re fasting as DIY I would think that – considering the risks – the minimum would be to take a look at the side effects or any possible harm I can do to my body! Well it's not that obvious.
So now I want to talk about the substantial difference between Fasting and starving myself.
If I Water fast or Dry fast – as long as I have extra fat on my body – I won’t be starving myself, give that my body, after 2/3 days, will switch from burning sugar to burning fat – the magic of being into Ketosis!
Here - from this article - a clear explanation why burning fat and being into Ketosis will help me NOT being in starvation:
“Human fat is valued at 3,500 calories per pound. Each extra pound of fat will supply enough calories for one day of hard physical labor. Ten pounds of fat are equal to 35,000 calories! This is equivalent to 35 pounds of fish or 192 pounds of carrots, good value for your fat. We carry around a supermarket of reserves, capable of sustaining us for many weeks.”
On the other hand, if I’m “fasting” while basically doing an extreme caloric restricted diet – like mono-fruit juice fast, Master Fast System, or just simply mono-fruit eating diet – well then I’m not only depleting my body of all essential nutriments that I need but I’m not allowing myself to go into Ketosis (due to the high amount of sugar), so my body is still trying to run on glucose and not accessing directly to the fat storage that I have all over my body.
Those types of diets are harmful, would make me feel super weak, will eat all my muscle tissues, it cannot be sustained for long period of time.

Master Fast System (MFS) - Don't waste your money

I have been playing with the Fab 6 tinctures and the Plasma Pudding from the Master Fast System (MFS) since few weeks now and what I can say is that I wasted tons of money. Don’t get me wrong I love the pudding and I believe it’s very cleansing in its way; the tinctures I’m sure are a good supplement to a diet trying to get rid of parasite – since I believe diet only would never realistically work.
However all that grape juice is just wrong in my opinion; way too much sugar - juice made from pasteurized grape concentrate. If anything we should eat the fruit as Mother Nature gave to us, not from concentrate. Every time you drink the juice, it sky-rocks your insulin production in your body, and since we are supposed to drink through the day, well you do the math. The only positive thing that I can see in the MFS is the Dry Fast; it’s good IF with a Dry Fast and a weekly 24/48 hours of fasting.
MFS people are very sensitive on this subject, you are not allowed to have your own opinion and most likely – whatever it is – you are darn wrong. They are the Truth, the plasmatic revelation of the Earth! WTH grow up people, science is made from the same people that invented pasteurization of your plasmatic grape juice.
If I drink only grape juice I give to my body only liquid sugar, tons of vitamins are lost from the juicing process, it is more than enough not to let your body go into Ketosis so you cannot use the stored nutriments that – you perfect body system – ensured to have in case of starvation.
The tinctures cannot give you enough energy to sustain a normal life, you need to release stored fat to survive; this is the way we were designed by nature. We store fat so we can use to survive till next time we find food. They break the process, thinking only on clearing the colon, when it’s scientifically proved that our perfect body cleans itself after 4/5 days. You can Water Fast for 4/5 days and feel better.
But another word that cannot be spoken with the MFS people is Water. They do not drink water like it was poison. Well I would rather drinking water than a pasteurized grape juice who knows how made.
I’m good on giving the digestive system a break, drinking only water or dry fasting, but fruit juice? Really? For 108 days? It is just crazy, people claim magical healing when they do not understand that most probably is the Dry Fast helping them not the grape juice. Wake up people, MFS is a lot of money that will not help you lose weight that easily, you will go in starvation drinking only sugar and gain back everything with sugar cravings over the roof. Save your money and your health, condemn the grape feast mistake!

Day #5 - Still long way to go

It’s Friday and I’m just on my Fifth Day of this no-solid-food/mostly-Water Fast, I don’t even know how to describe it; it is 80% lemon Water and 20% juice and mud-powders. But so far I’m ok; I was 63.1Kg this morning, which it means that I still need to lose 20 pounds! Things are going very slowly and sacrifices are tons when without solid food.
Good thing my yesterday green juice gave me enough energy to do my workout and it was better than the previous day, I was able to do a sort of HIIT on the treadmill, but just for few minutes since I’m really out of shape. But I need to keep on going if I want to see results, and I’m sure the more I go the less I’ll feel dying for 30 seconds run.
Weekends are scary for me since I see my always-hungry man and I give up on temptations fairly quickly. I can screw up in 2 days the hard work done in a week, and again I’m at square one with the scale, it’s like never ending if I keep on doing it! I lose, I gain, I lose, I gain,…my body would soon start to get sick of it – not to mention that I’m annoying the hell out of people and myself. Bu somehow I have to learn to live above my demons or I’ll be on this dieting for the rest of my life.
I did not check my Ketosis this morning; I thought it will be the same as yesterday anyway. I had a small BM this morning, in the usual mucoid plaque shape, since I had a big portion of my pudding yesterday. I have a new enema kit that I purchased on amazon, yesterday I cleaned and it is now ready to be used, whenever I need it. I didn’t want to buy anymore Fleets-enemas, they are too expensive.
I’m still taking twice a day my tinctures, in the morning when I get ready for work and in the afternoon when I’m home. I used to take the second dose as shot, but yesterday I decided not to do it anymore and keep on drinking it with the Bell Kidney Tea. The reason why is because of the alcohol content, I know that alcohol is really bad for Candida, and for my adrenal glands too, so I decided to use the Kidney Tea so it can evaporate with the hot water, well at least I hope so.
I’m doing everything I can here to fight my Candida Overgrowth, I also put some Tea Tree Oil on my toenails, because of my big toenail fungus, hopefully it will go away, but I read somewhere that it’s not that easy either and it can come back anytime, plus it’s very contagious! What else?!?!

Day #4 - No Solid Food Fast

Fourth day of my liquid-base type of Fast, I would no rather call it Water Fast anymore since today I had a cup of green juice (organic mix of apple, cucumber, romaine, lemon, kale, spinach and green pepper), and also I’m having my mud pudding every day so that counts too.
I feel good so far though; most of my days are just with water & lemon juice so my digestive system is still chilling anyway. I did an enema this morning, since I didn’t feel quite right with my BMs, and taking the pudding makes me always wondering if it can have a constipate effect on me. But it was good, we’re back on the mucoid plaque shape since I’m eating psyllium husk, but colour wise is not that black like when I was drinking grape juice, which it makes perfect sense. I’m sure my “mucoid plaques” would have been green if I was drinking vegetable juice instead of grape!
I managed to go another 20 minutes to the gym yesterday, today I feel my legs sore but I’m not complaining, as my man says half of the battle is actually going to the gym, and I’m trying to build some discipline around my workouts routine.
I also checked my Ketosis this morning and I had only some traces, which it means that my carbs intake is enough not to produce too many ketones; I’m still not 100% sure though if this is the right way to go, but for now I don’t want to give up my mud pudding, I look forward to it every day, so maybe when I’m Fasting on Bone Broth I won’t eat it.

Modified Water Fast - Day #3

I’m in the third day of this modified Water Fast and so far I feel good, not many cravings or hunger and I always look forward to my mud pudding so I can be rewarded with something healthy at the end of my days.
Yesterday I managed to go in my building’s gym for just half hour, that was different of what I planned but keeping consistency might do the trick down the road and make me feel better on going to the gym for a class, well at least I hope so.
I’m having daily BMs as today but I was thinking to do enemas regardless, not sure if it could be beneficial for the Candida and avoid any leftover food in my colon for too long. Also the pudding is not helping the BMs in general so I need to keep an eye on it or I could get constipated.
Today I will increase the probiotics that I take every day, in addition to my morning 80 billion one, I’ll have 2 pills of 10 million during the day, I thought I should have a good probiotics plan attack if I want to fight my Candida; plus I’m having still my supplements and the tinctures.
I planned to check my Ketosis tomorrow that’s Thursday, as well as my weight – that doesn’t seem changing much if I base on my clothes, but it requires time I’m sure. Today I want to go the gym again, yesterday I went for only half hour but I can feel the sore already in my legs, just a little ok but in any case something started to work! I can build up resistance and strengths with the time, going forward.
I was also thinking on changing my social life, to see more friends and maybe to make new ones. There’s a girl on my floor that I see always by herself, and we lived in the building long time so we once introduced each other. I don’t know if she will be up to hang out with me, but I have nothing to lose anyway, and if she likes the idea, will be nice having a friend so close.

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!

Stop drinking grape juice

It’s been few days now with this grape juice punishment-marathon and so far so-NOT good I would say. I’m feeling terrible drinking this juice. It’s a super load of daily sugar, I’m not losing weight, I feel always bloated, at the end of the day I’m nauseous of all the juice and sugar intake, it’s a pasteurized grape juice, what do you think is left of the fruit in it that could be beneficial for my body? I don’t think much. I’m sure all the sugar is not making me lose any fat, since my body is still fully running on glucose here. It’s been now 3 days my scale did not report any loss whatsoever, not even one single gram! WTH, with a Water Fast I would be down half way already.

Yesterday I made the mistake of buying a bottle of Concord grape juice from a local farmer’s market, in glass bottle, I paid $7 – definitely not cheap, but I thought it would be fresh and with no preservatives and crap like that. Well big mistake! It gave me stomach-ache with just few sips. I tried yesterday afternoon and this morning too, eventually I throw it away, and now I’m drinking lemon water to give my stomach a break. Well I learnt my lesson: don’t buy anything that you’re going to eat or drink from unknown sources.

In any case I decided to stop drinking all this grape juice, I don’t feel better in any way, my weight is not going down and my energy is really low. I love fruit and if I could, I would live as 100% fruitarian for the rest of my life! But I don’t believe this is a sustainable way of living, eventually my body will naturally crave fats. So to continue my cleansing process I decided to switch to Bone Broth, starting on Monday I think; since today’s Friday I’ll spend the weekend fasting (I guess between dry and water). Killing Candida, or just taking care of the overgrowth, takes time, unfortunately I wasn’t able to find any shortcut that powerfully would help me with this yeast infection, so I need to find a long term plan to help me achieve my goal.

The myth of the mucus!

Today I was thinking at the facebook group of the MFS and how so often they repeat sentences like: “remove mucus from your body”, “if you have vaginal discharge then is a great thing because you’re getting rid of mucus”. Now, I’m not a doctor – neither are them anyway – but by definition mucus is the following:

“a viscous, slimy mixture of mucins, water, electrolytes, epithelial cells, and leukocytes that is secreted by glands lining the nasal, esophageal, and other body cavities and serves primarily to protect and lubricate surfaces” ndr from dictionary.com

Now my question is: how can be that everything is coming out from my body (apart from natural releases) is mucus and it’s the devil?

Sometimes it feels like they all belong to a sect, cult following their Master and whatever he says: it’s the absolute plasmatic truth of the universe! I might be too rational but I don’t relate to them at all and be careful on showing it or you’ll damned by the supreme facebook admins court and you could perish in your constipation forever!

Are Mucoid Plaque real?

In my personal opinion those Mucoid Plaque releases are a scam to your gut and far to be real!
So I’ve been on this MFS since almost three weeks now and did some experiments with my Plasma Pudding  – which I want to repeat, is based on 3 main ingredients (usually mixed with grape juice):

1. Psyllium Husk Powder
2. Activated Charcoal Powder
3. Bentonite Clay Powder

Here what I noticed so far: when I followed exactly the MFS protocol, such as drinking only grape fruit juice and taking the pudding once a day, I started to release long dark worm-like things when using the bathroom (gross I know). I tried to have a closer look to it and I personally didn’t see anything that could jump into my attention as a parasite release, but I could be wrong since parasites are tiny tiny. However there’s no way I have a 3 feet long worm in my intestine. No way.
Then I stopped to eat the pudding for few days, still taking my tinctures as usual and drinking grape juice, but not the pudding. Well my releases came back to “normal”, normal colour, normal shape, normal consistency. It was clear to me that removing the pudding had a tangible effect to the “shape” of my releases.
Then I decided to get back fully into the MFS Protocol, with my lovely mud pudding and the grape juice, however since I cannot tolerate the juice and its sweetness I decided to add some water to my daily intake of juice. Well my releases changed; they came out again dark as the Activated Charcoal, jelly as the Psyllium Husk but not worm-like anymore as before, they came out more “liquid” since I’m diluting the grape juice with water – I would say I have now a ratio of 1:1 almost.
My conclusion was that the Pudding is making me poop in this worm-like way and it’s ok, because I’m sure that all the ingredients of the pudding are very detoxifying and somehow I’m cleaning my gut, but it is not a long worm coming out from the wall of my intestine being there for years.
Often we hear what we want to hear, to justify something that requires such a great effort, we feel better if it’s done with a high purpose and we see every day the amazingly incredible results! Wake up!

Master Fast System and my daily costs

I’ve been on the Master Fast System roughly a couple of weeks now – few days on and off due to some problems I incurred into. Well let me say that it's not cheap. I partially got convinced when everyone from the facebook page was telling me that - since I don’t eat other food - I would save tons of money. It didn’t actually work for me then!

I purchased one of the cheapest tinctures I could buy: the Super 6 and only that it cost me almost $500! It almost killed me financially, plus I had to add the Charcoal, the Bentonite, the Psyllium Husk, the Kidney Tea, the enema kit, the baking soda, the apple cider vinegar, not to mention the daily cost of the Grape Juice and lemons. Unless you live beside Walmart (which I don’t), the grape juice is very expensive if you think you would need at least a couple of bottles per day.

I personally cannot afford to buy the organic grape juice in the glass bottle, it costs almost $10 for 1L, so I have to drink the Welch’s one in the plastic bottle…non organic. Around where I live I cannot find it for less than $4.99 so in a day I can spend $10/$15 only for the juice; unfortunately I don’t always find it so sometime I get the organic one and that adds up a lot to the daily average expense.

Also the Psyllium Husk Powder used in the Pudding doesn’t last too long and, apart from the fact that is not always easy to find it, it is extremely expensive and you can find it only into health food stores, forget about Walmart!

With everything I paid for, planning to do 40 days MFS, my average expenses are around $23/$25 per day. This if I consider that I won’t be eating/drinking absolutely nothing for at least 24hrs per week during these 40 days. I hope this MFS really works because I’m investing lots of money!

Water Fasting is way cheaper!
