Fasting Day 4-7

Day FOURTH (Monday) 350 cal/day
-Weight 153.4 lb,
Food and drink intake:
- Breakfast: 14oz of organic coffee with 1oz of organic soy creamer and 1tbsp of honey; 1 boiled egg,
- Lunch: Green Tea, 12oz of organic vegetable broth (very warm),
- Dinner: 1 boiled egg,
- detox lemonade throughout the day anytime I felt hungry or thirsty,

NOTES:
I feel great, hunger is no longer an issue; I enjoy extra time throughout the day recycled from the meal times… The energy level is high; the heart beat is strong and even (it could be the protein from the egg that helped that); the hunger is not even an issue, the thoughts of food do not come to mind at all. I knew this was coming!! That damn third day syndrome is finally over!
I keep my thoughts focused on cleansing and healing. I can’t help feeling lighter and more flexible. I do feel a little colder than usually. That’s normal; the blood glucose drops during fasting and that may bring the feeling of coldness. I put a second pair of socks on :o).

Day FIVE (Tuesday) 350 cal/day
-Weight 154.4 lb,
Food and drink intake:
- Breakfast: 14oz of organic coffee with 1oz of organic soy creamer and 1tbsp of honey; 1 boiled egg,
- Lunch: Green Tea, 10oz of organic vegetable broth (very warm),
- Dinner: 1 boiled egg, 12oz of organic mushroom broth (very warm),
- detox lemonade throughout the day anytime I felt hungry or thirsty,

NOTES:
Well, a little set back on the scale, but a little food I eat may accumulate in the intestines and with #2 being on hold, the weight may creep up a little. No worries here. I’m not hungry. My energy level is very good - just as day four. I still feel a bit cold and I know this will remain until the end of fasting – it’s ok. My sleeping pattern is very good. I meditate 2-3 times a day and keep my thoughts focused on cleansing and healing. I look forward to healthier me.

Day SIX (Wednesday) 350 cal/day
-Weight 154.4 lb,
Food and drink intake:
- Breakfast: 14oz of organic coffee with 1oz of organic soy creamer and 1tbsp of honey; 1 boiled egg,
- Lunch: Green Tea, 10oz of organic vegetable broth (very warm),
- Dinner: 1 boiled egg, 12oz of organic mushroom broth (very warm),
- detox lemonade throughout the day anytime I felt hungry or thirsty,

NOTES:
The weight is still flat, but I do see the difference on my body. My cheek and jaw bones regain their contour, there is less fat around my waist, thighs and arms. The energy level is a little lower, but not too bad. I new this was coming, good thing I planned my schedule around it… I don’t really feel the hunger and I don’t miss eating big meals. I still feel a little cold, but my sleep pattern is really good. I picture myself in slim fitting clothes.     

Day SEVEN (Thursday) 350cal/day
-Weight 154.4 lb,
Food and drink intake:
- Breakfast: 14oz of organic coffee with 1oz of organic soy creamer and 1tbsp of honey; 1 boiled egg,
- Lunch: Green Tea, 12oz organic vegetable broth (very warm),
- Dinner: 1 boiled egg, 12oz of organic mushroom broth (very warm),
- detox lemonade throughout the day anytime I felt hungry or thirsty,

NOTES:
The energy level was holding steady, but it starts to bother me a bit. I can’t increase my sleep time to help get through the day – some things have to be attended to… so this will be the last day of my fasting. Overall I feel good. The seven day fasting went well. My blood pressure went down about 15-20 points and it’s now around 105/72 (that’s where it was 20 years ago, yes!!!). I sleep great too. I feel lighter more flexible and my clothes fit better. All those good things happening and I lost only 5 lb!!! I can’t stop now. The plan for the next several days is to eat about 500cal/day. The body is over the initial shock; it is getting used to the reduction of fat (at least that’s how I feel). Let’s see if I can bring the weight down to the level from 20 years ago too…
