hi there, questions about my first fast...

Hi guys,
I'm on my fourth day of the master cleanse. and last night (day 3) I got mad and I had a crying fit for about 40 mins, after that my head felt tense and weird for a long time. I couldnt stop myself...it was very strange...has anyone else ever experienced anything like that during a fast/the first few days of a fast...

thanks let me know...

from what I understand when you detox you detox emotions as well. Completly normal to cry out built up emotions during a fast. This is why in history so many people have "spiritul fasts" .
Go to www.rawfoods.com and click on discussion boards,,, there is a general & fasting board ,,you will LOT of info there.

 

thanks for the link...i got lots of helpful info there... i was wondering...I just had bubble tea....with the little gummy rice things in it....does that count as food? I hope not...

 

What is bubble tea?

 

you want to say away from all solids and semi-solids. They can trigger digestion in your stomach which takes energy away from cleansing. A major set back. You need to stay on the drinks recomended or you won't get a good cleanse. Also remember to come off your cleanse gradually or you can hurt your system. If you don't know how the cleanse works read about it here.

bubble tea is like a tea/fruit smoothie with little round gooey things in it... it was my first time trying it. I think I've already ruined my cleanse.... I had a few swedish fish in a time of lowness... I'll finish out my fast as planned....and even if I don't get the best cleanse at least I got rid of some toxins... is it a good idea to fast one or two days per week? does it do anything as far as cleansing?


thanks again

i felt by day 5 or 6 it was really working

 

There are many different methods, and purposes for fasting.

First, determine what you wish to achieve by fasting, and type it here. Then I'll let you know wether or not your tea will effect this.


If you are fasting to heal any illness, then yes, that is not the correct way to do it, although it will help, there are better methods of fasting.


If you are fasting to cleanse the body, you should be alright.....
If you are fasting for spiritual reasons, ONLY WATER SHOULD BE INGESTED.

 

since my fast i haven't been able to eat much. last night I had a bit too much pizza and got a stomach ache. and today all I ate was a roll, a handful of almonds, and a lemon with honey. I didn't feel hungry at all. I know I should probably eat more but I don't think I should eat much cos my metabolism slowed down during the fast. I don't know...what do you think?
