It is not easy to write day by day an article about yourself. But this little adventure is taking me full. So – have fun with my results and let’s see what the future will bring. Here are my daily 7 diary points.

1. Weight:      morning:    115kg  (253,5p)        evening:    115kg  (253,5p)

2. Last night: Wonderful full night sleep. Head down 10.30pm and fresh awake at 7.00am this morning. No interruption for 8 1/2 hours !!

3. Ingestion:
Early Morning: water and a cup of fruit tea
Late Morning: large cup of tea
Lunchtime: glass of fruit juice
Afternoon: water water …. , aware: the urine has to be light-colored
Evening: cup of bouillon, made from hot water and a vegetable bouillon cube

4. Excretion: small and spontaneous at early morning. Very good, bowel works well.

5. Exercise – Rest:  7.30am I was out in the prickly and moist grass for a bit of „Kneipp“ walk. What a great refreshing and blood stream awakening experience. I am lucky, I have the right backyard and the right grass for it. Late morning I worked in the garden, then 1/2 an hour rest – lay down. After lunch juice one hour nap in front TV, extended it a bit.  All day long around 30 grad Celsius, not much motivation to walk etc.,  but watering the garden in the evening is some exercise at least.

6. Personal hygiene: quick cold shower to refresh after morning grass walk. Cleaning shower with „hard-brush“ skin massage.

7. Sensibility: Bit dizzy eye sight, as yesterday, but I expect that it will be gone in an hour or so. Yes, was  gone within an hour. Totally normal.

         Sun comes up,  grass is still wet and prickly under the feet. But a lovely massage to earn good blood circulation .

My opinion.

My blood pressure this morning around 105 over 71 after getting up. After grass walking 110 over 78. This decides that I will not anymore take my blood pressure pills. If the life spirit awakens as expected, then I don’t need these pills no more.

Today I am feeling already my life spirit coming back. This is only possible if one let everything else go and be totally relaxed. Lucky me, Anna is a great help, not expecting anything from me right now and serving a tea if I ask for one – THANKS DEAR !  Loosen of all kinds of commitments, especially when you start fasting is essential for success. That’s why I decided to start on Thursday, facing a quiet weekend with no commitments.

Some good feeling in the afternoon. I watched on German TV the show „Lafer-Lichter-Lecker“, the most well known German cooking show. Fantastic recipes – and NO PROBLEM with „mouthwatering“ or „hunger feeling“. That means my switching from outer nutrition to inner nutrition is already done. On second day – great feeling.

What happens during fasting ?

The inner „food“.

Why is fasting working so easy and well and why we are not hungry ? During fasting one does not feel any physical appetite because:
The switch from food to fasting happens automatically. The programs run completely
automatically. Switching food from the outside to food from the inside will be
prepared by yourself:
1. by the knowledge that the ability to fast, in human life, is pre-programmed.
2. by the trust that fasting is harmless in its natural way.
3. to fast through the voluntary decision.
4. through a consequent purgation you send the signal for the initiation of fasting.
5. by anticipation of the well feeling in a few days

In the above chart I mean with power also energy.  The word heat means „inner body warmth – warm feeling“.

Make fasting holidays.

Experienced Faster know that it is best to be on holiday. Even joining a fasten group  during your holidays is an excellent decision. The nerve system shifts from the „daily fight for survival“ to total relaxation.  That’s an important prerequisite for proper fasting and the best guarantee that fasting succeeds.

Another possibility: Start on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, because the first 2-3 days are the most difficult – according to my experience. One must find peace in itself. Inform your family, your friends  (party’s, golf or tennis buddy’s etc.) that you „need“ some time for you alone. Prepare a diary in which you write your feelings and body condition, your weight change etc. Try to do as I do with the 7 points above.

Fasting is life.

Everyone has the ability to switch to fasting. It just has to be new experienced and practiced. The body naturally switches faster if one is experienced. But even for a newcomer it will be easy as soon as food is lacking. The absence of a meal is no longer a problem for a fasting body. Fasting is natural it is a natural part of life.

    Water is life !

The second fasting day.

On the second day  there are occasional changes in the body. Therefore, the following physical states may occur:
* Feeling of hunger.  1/2 glass of water  drives it off fairly quickly. Do not use appetite suppressant  of whatever kind.
* Dizziness and nausea. The usual blood pressure drop might not yet
to be completely intercepted. A dull feeling or occasional dizziness are
Harmless and quickly pass by.
A walk in the fresh air and washing the face with cold water will help quickly.
* Head, limb and cross pain They often occur at the beginning of the fasting period,
because the drainage of tense and smeared muscles can cause pain, pulling or restlessness. Moist hot packs, for example, a sachet of crushed potatoes on the neck, crossbones
or the corresponding joint, will help quickly.  An enema and an ascending foot bath are
also important assistance.
* Insecurity and depression feelings will occur to some fasting sufferers, others are again affected by doubts.  don’t let us fall too much into our worries. As I wrote before, use some tricks to distract yourself – Movies, a good book, writing your memoirs (Ha) about fasting.

And:
On the second day of fasting, a big bow around all of them restaurants and food.
Same at home, try to convince your family, that you won’t join them with meals.

Tomorrow I will follow up as usual. It is still so much to say and to explain. Stay tuned !
