Guest guest Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Hello everyone, well so much for saying I am still 100% raw - I got obsessed " with Indian food yesterday afternoon and I ate bananas to fill me up and it went by tea time but by then I had already spoken of it to Nick and put the idea into his head too!! So we went and had the meal - cant say I didn't enjoy eating it but my stomach afterwards was awful and we both said all evening we were bloated and uncomfortable - me to the point of pain in my stomach and I am not used to feeling like that recently. My breathing last night when I climbed the stairs at bedtime was pretty bad too. I wasn't going to say anything to anyone here - just pretend it didn't happen but we are sick as our secrets and so I prefer just to say it and be done and now it is ok. I have to be free of things and let go and enjoy today as my HP intended me too. Although I love the raw foods very much I sometimes miss hot food - had it for all of my life and also some really savoury, spicy tastes - say's she who had difficulty controlling her " sweet tooth " before. On to other things - Nick is off work for the whole weekend and he fancies trying another 24hr fast so this time I am asking advice on what is the best time to start and how to do it really. I would be grateful if someone could share their experience with me on this. Thanks in advance - from a slightly subdued Lynne xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Hi lynne, I use this fasting system http://www.neerasupercleanse.com/ as it is the one my doctor recomends. I don't for long use it for long term bouts but for 24 or 48 hours fasts, nor do I use the tea. It is enough that going from it to a lite fruit (melons, bananas ect) day for transition works out well and safely. It can probally be found in your health food store it is where I found it. Just one of many ideas Love and kisses, Lu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 If you choose this you will need this: 60 oz of water (10 oz per glass) 10 tablespoons nerra (1\2 Tbs) 12 lemons (1 lemon) little over 1\2 t cyanne pepper (teeny tiny pinch) This is enough for 1 person 1 day of the fast Before you begin in a morning drink a large glass of salt water (1 t salt to 10 oz water) and do this each morning of the fast and the day after before you start on friut) On Apr 8, 2005 1:06 PM, Lu <dahzhid wrote: > Hi lynne, > > I use this fasting system http://www.neerasupercleanse.com/ as it is > the one my doctor recomends.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 with Indian food yesterday afternoon > ---- Hi Lynne... for a 24 hr. fast, I'd suggest the following: preparation: at least 2-3 days of a good, high raw food diet preferably fresh, organic, high-alkaline, juicy fruits.) Finish off the last night before the fast with an early dinner, say 6pm ish....consisting of maybe some light redleaf lettuce, some celery and maybe a little cucumber.... drink some good water about 8:30pm, and then to bed by 10pm : sleep... fasting day: drink plenty of good, pure distilled water (blessed or sunshine-reenergized), whenever hungry/thirsty throughout the day. Primary need: rest...drinking water will rest the digestive systems, and allow the body to focus energy elsewhere. Start the day off with a nice drybrush skin scrubbing. Get plenty of fresh air, and sunshine. Expose as much of the body as possible to the sun, ensuring that the " solar plexus " chakra (roughly abdomen area) gets sun. Avoid physical exertion. Rest as many body systems as possible. Avoid emotional upsets/worries. Think positive thoughts. go to bed early...maybe get a nap. breaking the fast: suggest breaking it the morning after with 1/4 - 1/2 of an orange, or maybe half of an apple. Or a smoothie, made of 1 stalk celery, 2 dates, and 1/2 small banana with lots (16 oz. or more) of water. continue drinking good water throughout the day. Lunch, if needed - repeat smoothie.. mid-afternoon - other half of orange or apple dinner: tiny salad...no avocado/oils., with a squeeze of lemon juice (or 1/8 of a lemon...) rest more...to bed early... Have fun...this is not precise...it doesn't have to be... Hope this helps. regards, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
