After 32 days of fasting and 67 days of my Eden diet and fasting I have reached the three goals I set out to obtain two and a half months ago. I’ve lost 70 pounds in 67 days; I finally realize my true purpose and calling in this life; my body is cleansed. I’m very [...]

I am now down to my last 5 days. I’m not going to kid you; it’s been rough this last week. There were times I thought about ceasing my fast and moving on, but I couldn’t do it. I too much time invested in this project and I would have let too many people down [...]

I really enjoy the benefits of fasting. Although, I recommend anyone attempting a fast for the first time to start with a practical three day fast. That is, three days on the Eden Diet, three days on a water fast and followed by another three days on the Eden Diet. A total of nine days [...]

There are now less than two weeks left in my water and I’m preparing for my post fast regimen. When I break my fast I want to make sure that I receive as much benefits from it as possible. I can’t eat any solid food for a week. The general rule of thumb for a [...]

Yesterday we all went Six Flags Great Adventure. For those of you who are not familiar with Six Flags, it’s a large amusement park. The girls had a great time. I took my oldest daughter on her first grown up roller coaster and we have a nice snap shot to capture the milestone. In the [...]

I am in the mid-phase of my water fast and have changed a few things to my daily routine. First, I now take two hour naps after I make the girls lunch every day. I had no choice. My irritability, mood swings, energy level and achiness were getting progressively worse. I was snapping at everyone [...]

As I approach the midpoint of my 35 day water cleanse I’ve come to many conclusions. I’m fasting for the rest of my life; I’m converting to veganism; my children will only eat organic foods; I’m a Yogi; and my goals I’ve set out to accomplish 49 days ago are becoming a reality. My spiritual [...]

The last three days have been extremely tough. I do not recommend being the sole person watching your children during a long fast. At times, I wanted to shrivel into a ball and sleep off some of the inconveniences – hunger pangs, irritability, lightheadedness and hiccups. Getting hiccups during a fast is abundantly painful. I [...]

After five days my appetite is driving me crazy. I’m hungry. I think the answer everyone is thinking is, “Well, eat something!” That is exactly my point. The entire reason for my pre-fast and fast is to control my appetite. After I’m finished I won’t be tempted for that midnight snack or candy bar in [...]

Three days into my fast and I’m feeling no different than I have in the recent past. The last 9 days of my Eden diet sufficiently prepared me for the beginning stages of my fast. I’m guessing eating 250 calories and 0 calories is really no different for my body. I feel slightly sluggish around [...]
