So I
broke my fast after 18.5 days,
the most challenging part was the 7.5 days Dry Fast, but at the end time
passed, things changed. Now I’m almost
to a point that I don’t want to eat, the idea of going to the digestion it’s annoying.
I
broke my Water Fast with Bone Broth with added water, during lunch time. After having a big Mason jar of it – which I believe is 1L – my first stomach’s reaction came pretty quickly and I had a BM
right away, I was expecting it though. Then, a couple of hours later, I had the
rest of Bone Broth that was left
with extra water and sipped on it. I’m still ok in terms of BMs but
this last jar made me sick really, I
had to wash my teeth right away
because I couldn’t stand the feeling
of the broth on my teeth; now I feel
somehow noxious.
I don’t think I’ll continue to drink
anymore Bone Broth for now, if more
food is required to continue on breaking my fast I’ll opt for water
melon or any other watery fruit; I know my Ketosis will be gone by
tomorrow but I cannot drink that disgusting thing anymore.
Really I don’t feel eating anything, maybe because I’m so tired or
maybe it is because I’m digesting
the broth I just had; when
completing this type of prolonged fast
the digestion makes me extremely sleepy, it sucks so much energy from me, it’s unbelievable how much power
can have food on our vital basic strengths.
In this Blog I tell about my experiences with the Dr. Bernstein Diet from day one, my successes and my failures, my Eating Disorder and the impact of it on my life. The discovery of Dr. Simeons Protocol and his HCG Diet and everything that followed my Water Fast, Dry Fast, MFS and Bone Broth Fast journeys.

Water Fasting - Refeeding Plan Observations
For the refeeding
process I have a specific plan that I'm supposed to follow, in summary I
have the following two basic rules (on
top of some others of course):
- Avoid drinking water 30 minutes before eating
- Avoid drinking water 45 minutes after eating
- Cut the food in small pieces
- Chew the food until is completely dissolved into the mouth
So I will stop drinking 30
minutes before my first meal starts, I'm supposed to take my time to eat my
2 ounces of water melon,
so it might take up to one hour, I don't want to rush it and I
really want to enjoy the experience,
enjoy the re-discovered taste of the
fruit that I'll be having.
After my water melon
I will take a rest, just trying to sleep or just watching TV on the couch, to
let my digestion system wake up gently.
After 2 hours or so I should have my
second meal – another 2 ounces of water
melon – but let's see how I feel; I read of people sleeping more than expected or just not feeling eating much, so I
will just listen to my body and see how it goes. I'm not planning to have more than 2/3
meals anyway, but only if I'm hungry.
The coconut water
that I planned to use for breaking my
fast I actually thought I could drink it the Friday before my refeeding
weekend, so I sort of prepare my body for the fast. A read a lot of contradictory suggestions on what food can be
the best one to break the fast; some people suggest juice instead of fresh fruit, some other even vegetables or bone broth.
I personally don't
want to start with nothing complicated, I think a small piece of well chewed water melon should not harm my digestion system, so I'll take
this path for now; I am also thinking on checking out some juice-maker places to see what are my options out there, just in
case I change my mind.
