Introducing a Fourth Day to my Weekly Dry-Fasting Pattern

For the past month or so I’ve been fasting on Sundays, Tuesdays and Fridays. I decided to introduce one extra day. Today is Wednesday and I am not going to break my dry-fast until tomorrow Thursday. The three day weekly fasting has been working great for me. As I often mention it throughout this blog, from what I’ve been experiencing so far, the human body does not seem to like the routine too much. In addition, during the days I am eating I have been eating way too much. While fasting three days a week, Wednesdays and Thursdays have been the only consecutive days during which I have been eating two days in a row. Eating a massive amount of food on two consecutive days has been slowing me down a bit on several occasions. Now I want to see what will happen with me introducing Wednesday as an extra dry-fasting day. If it works well for me, I may keep things this way, or pick a different extra day of the week. Adding Saturdays could be interesting, since it will allow me to dry-fast three consecutive days during the week.Continue reading

Journal Entry: October 31st 2017 – The Mystery of Kidney Filtration

October 31st 2017

My modest attempt to solve the kidney filtration mystery…

Since I had the Indian food at Mumbai last week, I’ve been feeling amazing. Besides feeling amazing, my kidneys have been filtering regularly since. I have to admit that I am a bit lost trying in figuring out how kidney filtration works. In order to have a better understanding of the situation I decided to rewind the film of my life a bit,  and reflect on my actions and the nutrition I’ve been exposed to for the past weeks. Maybe that way I can get a better understanding of how kidney filtration has been working for me.Continue reading

My Second 7-day Dry-fasting Experience (day by day)

 

July 30th 2017

I just started a new seven day dry-fast. This is the second time I’m attempting a fast of this length. Yesterday was my birthday. It was a beautiful day in Buenos Aires. Despite winter time here in the southern hemisphere, the weather was warm with moments when I could see and feel the sun through the multiple thin layers of clouds. My main objective on my birthday was to enjoy the day as much as possible.  I decided to not do my regular daily warrior diet on this day. After my jog to the “Lago de Regatas” in “Parque de 3 de Febrero”. I had about 700ml of yellow beat, celery, fennel, apple, orange juice I had saved from the night before. I add garlic, ginger and curcuma to pretty much all my juices. After having my juice, I went out for lunch, and later at night I also had dinner. Probably not the best way to go into a seven day dry-fast, but at least all I ate was of plant origin.Continue reading

Different Fasting Patterns

I have the feeling that I’ve made some great progress since very first journal entry in April. (My very first journal entry: intro) For the past three months or so, the main progress I could observe has been in my ability to dry-fast longer periods of time, and more often. The months preceding April, I had already incorporated a 36 to 40 hour dry-fasting periods into my weekly routine. After I wrote my very first journal entry in April, the next step consisted in increasing the number of fasts of similar lengths, and have two of them per week. I started fasting on Thursdays and Sundays for a minimum of 36 hours. I did this for about five weeks. At each iteration, I would feel better, up to the point where my body started to ask for more consecutive fasting days.Continue reading
