Fasting Pattern Debriefing

I’ve been on a six week pattern of not eating solid food for the first half of the week, and eating in the second half. The first couple of weeks I was dry fasting Sundays Mondays and Tuesdays, and eating the rest of the week. I then slightly modified the pattern by green juice fasting on Tuesdays and a the first portion of Wednesday, having my first solid food of the week on Wednesday nights. I feel like the whole period was very beneficial. I felt improvements in my well being throughout the period, and also my productivity increased significantly. It was in a way having the best of the two worlds of fasting and not fasting. I did not have major healing crises, or tiredness. I was also able to maintain my weight. One of the challenges I’m facing at the moment with all the dry fasting I’ve been doing for the past months, is me loosing a lot of weight. My pants look a bit funny on me at the moment. If it wasn’t for having my belt on, I wouldn’t be able to wear them. Now my plan is to switch gears a bit. For the past days I’ve been eating cooked food along with my everyday juicing. I want to finish the week by eating out tonight at Buenos Aires Verde. Tomorrow (Sunday) I’m planning on dry-fasting as usual, then from Monday to Saturday, I’m planning on eating in a diversified way. Meaning eating raw, but also maybe have some fish or meat at one point.Continue reading

Reaping the Benefits of The Half a Week Fasting Pattern

This week has been great so far. Having my last meal on a Saturday, dry fasting Sunday Monday, green-juice fasting on Tuesday, intermittent green juice fasting on Wednesday with the first solid meal in the afternoon. Today is Thursday, I had a green juice around 2:00PM, and ate some dried fruits and nuts. I’ve been feeling amazing lately. I’ve been in a calm and productive mood for the most part. There seem to be less of wasted time during my day.  I’ve been enjoying the luxury of being involved only in things that I’m passionate about for the past couple of months. The fasting pattern I’ve been on for five weeks now, has been acting as an enhancer of me feeling great .Continue reading

Dry and Juice Fasting Half of the Week

This past week was very similar to the previous one in terms fasting. Sunday and Monday were complete dry-fasting days, juice-fast on Tuesday. I had an intermittent dry- fast until mid-afternoon on Wednesday, then I made a green juice. I started to eat solid food on Wednesday in the late afternoon. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday I’ve been juicing and eating regularly. Knowing that I always try not to eat or drink in the mornings. It’s been more or less four weeks now that I’ve been fasting the first half of the week and nourishing myself during the second half. There has been slight variations from week to week of course. Last Saturday I allowed myself to eat out at a place called Buenos Aires Verde which is a health conscious restaurant. I was feeling a bit cold, and achy. That’s why I decided to have a miso soup, and a vegetarian version of a traditional South-American comfort dish called Locro. I immediately felt better, and ended up recovering from feeling achy the next day.Continue reading

Journal Entry: September 7th 2017 – I’m feeling like a well-oiled machine

September 7th 2017

 I’m feeling like a well-oiled machine.

I haven’t eaten outside of home for the past 12 days. This week I did a dry-fast for 58 hours. To break my fast I had some lemon juice followed by a litter of home made green juice. I did not eat anything solid for 24 hours. The next day, I made the same juice, and drank about the same quantity of that delicious home made green juice. On both days I had about four table spoons of organic coconut oil after finishing my green juice. Later in the afternoon I ate a very simple fruit salad made with organic bananas, grapefruit and shredded dried coconut. For dinner, I prepared some avocado “maki” rolls. Later on that night, I made some hazelnut milk. Before going to bed I had a jar of hazelnut banana milkshake, by blending the hazelnut milk with an organic banana.Continue reading
