Fasting is not easy.

I was reading in a health book yesterday (I canapos;t remember the exact title of it, but itapos;s basically holistic health and alternative means for treatment through dietary changes)...

Anyway, reading this book I started reading about the topic of Obesity, and they brought up fasting to help cleanse the body of day-to-day toxins we absorb from the air, foods we eat, drink, etc.

Hereapos;s basically the sum of what the book said (for a three day fast (which is really more like a week long fast)):

For the two days prior to fasting, eat only RAW fruits and vegetables, including herbel tea and at least eight glasses (8fl oz) of water per day.

Take supplemental fiber prior to the fast and after the fast twice daily (not at meal times).
Take Garlic supplements twice daily ( I believe it was 1500 mg) to help with your heart (even during the fast).

For the fast, Drink AT LEAST 8 (8 Fl Oz) of steam distilled water.
Drink Two (8 fl oz) of pure juice (this is the hardest part imo, since itapos;s freaking hard to find "pure juice")
Drink Two (8 fl oz) of Herbel Tea.

If you have to eat something, eat watermelon.

For the two days prior to the fast, same thing, fruits veggies and fiber: all raw, please

Iapos;m a little apprehensive about this, only because I donapos;t want my metabolism to completely shut down... Otherwise I can handle it. Some things to expect are nausea, headaches, and flu like symptoms, bumps on the skin, etc.

Iapos;m supposed to exfoliate my skin (with a brush) and move from the length of my limbs inward to my heart... Itapos;s supposed to get rid of dried skin cells and aid the body in getting rid of the toxins.

A three day fast is supposed to get rid of impurities in the blood.
A ten day gets rid of impurities of the liver (Ten days? Iapos;d die.)

Of course Iapos;m not a doctor, so if youapos;re thinking of doing this for yourself, please please please research it and check with your doctor first.

For the first time iapos;m not interested in weight loss, but health and freeing my body of all the shit iapos;ve consumed.
