Distinguishing Trauma From All Other Conditions ... Shopping for

[Guest guest]

Please be careful with your fast Lynne if you do it, and don't extend

it too long.

 

Despite all the claims that you don't lose muscle mass, only fat and

toxins, on a fast, it isn't true. You DO lose a lot of muscle mass,

even if you completely rest the whole time. You lose a lot of fat too

though, which is fine I guess. What happens to one person on a fast

is different for another, so make sure you read up lots on it before

you do it. It is fun for people to play doctor and tell you to do a

fast of # days, but it is a MAJOR trauma to the system, no matter how

well you come out of it afterwards.

 

I would suggest not going over 7 days. It is easy to damage your body

during and after a fast, particularly if it is one longer than 7 days.

Your stomach and intestines need to be reintroduced to food very

carefully and slowly, and the proper type of food as well.

Suprisingly, raw food IS NOT recommended after a fast, and definitely

not food high in sugar, or high in anything for that matter.

 

The best I have found for breaking a fast, as recommended by Paul

Bragg, is stewed organic tomatoes, blanched quickly (with some olive

oil and AC vinegar). And only that for a couple of days.

 

Anyway, do your own research to be safe

Joe,

 

With all due respect, this is simply not true.

Well that's insightful...care to share?

 

This is my experience from REALITY. If yours is/was different, it

doesn't mean my reality was imagined, just different, because we all

react differently to things like this.

 

So....right....you;re right....I DIDN't find stewed tomatoes to be a

good breakfast, I DIDNT lose muscle mass on my fast, we SHOULDN't

reintroduce food slowly. Thanks for helping my memory, I am glad you

were there.

 

Okay I think I get the point...your post was a joke just to get me

excited haha

 

Nice

 

Joe

On the right fast you can still exercise and then you DON'T lose muscle mass.

Also, I would say that in 7 days no major muscle will be lost. That is more of a

concern for very long fasts. But master cleansing or 1+ gallon of fresh juice a

day fasting? You can work out pretty hard and not lose muscle. But Joe's right

that it's not true nobody does lose muscle on super long sedentary fasts.

 

 

 

 

Food fight? Enjoy some healthy debate

in the Answers Food & Drink Q & A.

Joe,

 

Your recommendations about fasting merely insight fear, however your

last suggestion is fine. Do some research and be safe. I can

certainly agree with that.

 

Fasting is an act of self love, a rest from digestion. Fasting allows

the body to focus attention on " cleaning house " . A good place to look

for information about fasting can be found at www.soilandhealth.org.

Research elsewhere has led me to spiritual and religious fasting. At

Soil and Health, look for Dr. Herbert Shelton's " Fasting and

Sunbathing " . It is an excellent place to begin researching.
