Plunge into a Cheat-Meal Spree

Yesterday I was planning on breaking my 40 hour dry-fast around 3:00PM. I was able to get some work done in the morning, then I went to the “Barrancas de Belgrano “to sunbath and read. I knew I was going to break my fast soon, but I did not know with what type of food yet. I usually break my fast  with slow-pressed home made juices. Since it was a short fast, and lately I had been experimenting with new approaches to break my fast, I wanted to change a bit. The raw vegetarian option was to go to Buenos Aires Verde and have a salad from the menu of the day. If I were to allow myself some animal origin food, having  some seafood was the second option that came to my mind. Few days earlier I had spotted a Peruvian restaurant in “Barrio Chino” specialized in ceviches. The actual place is called Lucumma. I thought raw seafood to break my fast could be an interesting approach. They had a ceviche lunch menu combo, which seemed perfect for the situation. 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

The After Breaking my Fast

It has been 34 hours since I’ve broken my nine day dry-fast. The post-fasting experience has been quite different and more challenging than the previous fasting experiences I had so far. I’ve been eliminating huge amount of cellular waste through urination. My urine has been extremely charged. At the end of my previous fasts I also experienced similar situations, but this time around, not only the amount of waste was considerable, but also my kidneys have been able to filter every single time I’ve been going to the bathroom.  I did not have any solid food so far. I’ve been running on freshly extracted juices. I went through at least 20 lemons, since I’ve broken my fast. I was finally able to find some organic ones at Alma Zen. In addition to the lemon juice, I prepared this pretty intense, yet extremely delicious green juice.Continue reading

Journal Entry: October 8th – The Week Before my Nine-day Dry-fast Attempt

October 8th 2017

First Half of the Week Before the Big Jump

This week, I was able to eat plenty before starting my nine day dry-fast. I broke my 36 hour dry-fast on Monday. I had green juice, and ate raw that day. On Tuesday I also had some green juice and some fruits and nuts. I am currently taking a night class which starts at 7:00PM. During class I was in a state of almost enlightenment. My senses were sharp, I could focus well, and understand everything that the professor was saying (in Argentinian Castellano: which is probably one of the most difficult types of Spanish to understand for a foreigner like myself). It’s a 3 hour class, and this time around, the time went by really fast.  I enjoyed the class more that the previous ones. Since it was the week when I wanted to eat more than usual, so I can prepare myself for the 9 day dry-fasting. I decided to go to Buenos Aires Verde after class and have a late dinner. This is one thing I love about Buenos AIres. One can go out for dinner at 23:00PM or midnight during a week day.  I ordered a quinoa risotto. I was expecting something lighter because the dish had quinoa, but it ended up being a full on cooked meal. Wednesday and Thursday I kept going with green juicing.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

Trying to understand the moments when I’m not fasting

It has been a bit over two weeks since my last seven day dry-fasting experience. I ate regularly for about 2 weeks. On the first Sunday I had a 40 hour dry-fast. The following Sunday, meaning yesterday, I started a new fast. I’m not planning on breaking it after 40 hours this time. I’m planning on keeping going for a few days. The past couple weeks, I was able to observe that the periods when I am eating on a regular basis are not optimum. Most of the food I’m eating is raw and organic, but I feel like I’m eating way too much, and way many different things. This situation results in me having a lot of pleasure while feeding myself, but I can feel my body not functioning as well as when I’m fasting.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
