Alright now it it coming up on 60 hours since the official start of my fast. I say official because I really had my last food item just about 64 hours ago but because of the new year I decided to make midnight of Dec. 31st my official start.
The past 24 hours have been quite challenging. I developed the common coating on the tongue, I still have dizziness (which I will talk about in just a bit), lack of energy, and last night felt quite nauseated .
I have been continuing my research into fasting and all of the symptoms that I am experiencing are quite normal. I have discovered however that people that are used to drinking coffee will usually experience these symptoms for up to 5 days. This is difficult to gauge because everybody’s body is different obviously. So it might take longer for these symptoms to diminish.
I have in the last 24 hours however gone quite beyond the dizzy feeling and have entered the realm of feeling intoxicated. Right now for instance I would not feel comfortable getting behind the wheel of my car. From what I have learned I know that these symptoms will pass once my body eliminates the toxins.
The issue that I am struggling with at the moment is I am supposed to start a contract job with an investment firm tomorrow and currently I can’t think clearly.
I am considering ending my fast before the minimum 5 days. However this doesn’t mean that I will not conduct a future fast. In fact I have learned that to achieve the maximum benefits of a fast you can’t put a time limit on it. You continue to fast until the coating on you tongue (if you develop it, not everyone does) or your true hunger comes back or both.
Just to clarify: Your true hunger is not the period feeling of hunger but a feeling of hunger that will not go away until you eat.
I will let you know what I decided in a future post.
Below is a video that I found of a gentleman that did a 21 day fast. The video is of his last day but you can check out his other videos that document almost every day.
