A week ago I had a lovely lunch and dinner and a bottle of wine and didn’t know what I would decide the next morning. Now I am happy that I started it and feel well and proud.

1. Weight:       morning: 112kg (246p)          evening: 112kg (246p)

2. Last night: slept well, but in two parts, middle of the night I had to hunt some mosquito’s, I was successful, but it cost me an hour

3. Ingestion:
Early Morning: water
Late Morning: tea, water
Lunchtime: glass of pineapple juice, slice of lemon (just chewing the juice)
Afternoon: water
Evening : juice, water

4. Excretion: none, except ….. you’ll read the article further down
5. Exercise – Rest: wonderful 7.00am beach walk, 1 hour,
6. Personal hygiene: as usual
7. Sensibility: very sensitive,

My opinion.

This morning the beach walk was very nice. Sadly the water was already at very high tide and I had to walk through many shells and stones. Also lots of people, I had to say „Buen Dia“ at least 6 times. Yeah Uruguay is very friendly, even early in the morning.

My strength and power is already back a bit. I want to do a lot things, but the heat of the day (around 30 Celsius) breaks it down a bit. Will see how it goes.
After lunch I had a bit of a break down, no motivation to do anything. I was laying down and had a few little naps. This can happen during fasting, just do what the body suggests.

All that garbage has to go out somehow.   That’s why we have today the following article.

The body-own „garbage removal“ and how to do.

This is an important topic and during fast we have to talk about it. One won’t believe how much dirt we got in our body, how it looks and how it smells (even after weeks of fasting) if we have once the solidity to clean ourselves.

Excretion through the bowel.

The intestine, one of our most important and most sensitive organs, is designed to absorb food and to the elimination of slags. For cleaning and detoxification it needs a rinse every second day, also daily feasible. We already talked about it and about the Fleet product and how to do it.

Excretion through the bladder.

During fasting, the urine may be quite dark in time and can smell quite penetrating. Here helps to drink lots of clear water to rinse the kidneys and urinary tract. Sometimes more drinking then the thirst requires. The urine should be as light as possible. You do not need to be angry when the weight is at rest. That’s a sign that the body’s fluid volume for the initiated detoxification processes is required.

Excretion over the skin.

Our skin as a great surface and our largest organ has all sorts of things to do in the fasting time. To wash, shower and bathing will be a great need for the Faster – in front of the sauna or
swimming in a bathing establishment is a hygienic necessity. Be aware that during fasting the skin can smell to, mostly very acidly – like acetone, for most people not very nice.

* The skin dries out. After each washing, bathing or showering with cream well with some vegetable oils or any other good and moist
* In the fasting period one should use no creams and no make-ups with chemical additives. They clog the pores and so prevent the skin from breathing and excreting.
* Use deodorizing agents sparingly, so as not to cause skin irritation

Look forward to, how delicate and smooth the skin will be after fasting.

Excretion over the lungs.

With each exhalation, we carry air laden with gaseous metabolic residues out of our organism. Allow yourself to breathe with your mouth shut. This you can achieved best when hiking and walking in the open. In addition, at home liberally ventilate your rooms. At night try to sleep with open windows. At the same time, we ensure the optimum „oxygen-nutrition“ of the brain and organs. This is also recommended outside the fasting period.

Excretion through the mouth.

Be beware that your breath can smell very bad, like acid. During fasting, the tongue may be gray-yellow, sometimes even brown or black discolored – depending on what the body just exits. Teeth and
Gums often have an unpleasant smelling coating. The taste is
Pappy to bland. Help against it is:
* Use the toothbrush also for the tongue and the mouth between them more often and rinse with water. Or suck a lemon slice several times a day (what I like to do, gives a refreshing feeling too).
* One can also chew sauerkraut and fresh herbs like chives, dill, parsley, basil and more. Even a peppermint candy can help. This is also recommended for smokers, because there is no smoking during fast and if one „needs“ to help the empty mouth, use a candy (sugar free). After 3-4 days a cigarette won’t taste well anyhow.

Excretion through the vagina.

The mucous membranes of the vagina also have a self-purification tendency. During the fasting women can therefore temporarily cause an increased discharge. It’s normal.

           Isn’t this wonderful ??

The psychological „garbage excretion“.

Of course there is not only physical but also „mental garbage“. Have therefore no fear of oppressive dreams of war, blood or filth, ugly thoughts, aggressive moods or melancholy mood.

* During fasting, most people change their sleep patterns:
They sleep more relaxed, but all that what is enriched in the head, is much more obvious. It can, that one takes the dream activity more consciously true.

* Important in such situations: Say what is oppressing you. Write it down if you do not have a conversation partner, and look at the later by „daylight“. In any case, settle yourself with the mental garbage. You will notice how much this conflict relieves you, how much fasting helps. Writing a diary has made many people happy, because reading about after fasting would let you astonish what „garbage“ went out – its not relevant anymore.

* Often people use fasting as a different method to loose weight and they are disappointed when after a few weeks the weight gain is even more. The so named Jo-Jo effect ! That’s why fasting is very often defamed. The weight loss is a very nice and welcome byproduct, but if one understands the fasting philosophy then the recovery of themselves is much more important. Many more different results can be expected than just weight loss.

That’s it for today. Tomorrow we read about power – capacity. Stay with me.
