Journal Entry: February 4th 2018 – The Perfect Week

All of a sudden I started to feel amazing

It now has been over 14 days that I am solely eating at home a raw plant based diet. I’ve been avoiding nuts as well. This week has been very different than the previous one, since my energy levels, and productivity were high. My morale also got boosted, partially due to the fact that I finally got started on a new work project as a freelancer. I can say that I’ve been quite active this week. Besides working, I had four workout sessions instead of three including a 30 minute jog each time. I went out for a long walk every day from my apartment in Colegiales to the Parque 3 de ferbero. This represents a daily shirtless walk of at least two hours under the sun.Continue reading

Some New Observations on Kidney Filtration

As I already mentioned it in my journal entry of December 20th, my kidneys had stopped filtering during my move from my old apartment to the new one. I took two and a half days to move, because I wanted to transport all my belongings by foot. Friday night the move was over. Saturday morning I did the check out from the old apartment, and had a day during which I was able to eat plenty of food. Sunday was my dry-fasting day. I decided to do a complete fast, where I kept from doing any intellectual work, and interact with electronic devices. In addition, I had plenty of sleep along with a great opportunity to sunbath on the roof of the building where I currently live.Continue reading

Journal Entry: December 25th 2017 – I haven’t done anything for 34 hours!

December 25th 2017

34 Hour Rest

Last week I have been eating everyday except for Sunday. As I am writing this post it’s 1:00PM Monday, and I am still fasting. I usually go about my day regularly while fasting. On this fast I wanted to try something I had not done before. I decided to not do anything at all during my fast: not connect to internet, not work on my blogs, not record music, not touch my cell phone, not read. On Saturday night I was still exhausted from moving all my belongings from the old apartment to the new one by foot. All week I have been eating plenty at home and outside of home. On Saturday, I was able to nourish myself all day. I started fasting on Saturday night/ Sunday Morning around 2:00AM. I went to bed and woke up the next morning, maybe afternoon? Since I wasn’t allowing myself to touch any electronic device, I did not know what time it was.Continue reading

Unexpected Healing Crisis

After my last journal entry yesterday by 1:30 PM, I started going into a fairly intense healing crisis. It had not happened this way in a while. I started feeling low in energy. I decided to take it slow. I did a lot of walking. I was able to walk over three hours. I noticed that the middle of my tongue was getting brownish almost grey. As far as I know, this is a sign of the colon detoxifying itself. I used to experience this particular symptom in the early days, during my first fasts, when I used to be a complete beginner as a dry-fasting person. As I progressed with dry-fasting, this particular symptom for the most part disappeared. This made me think that by accumulating dry-fasting sessions, I went trough a complete colon cleanse, and this is the reason why my tongue wasn’t getting brownish in color during dry-fasting anymore. In addition to the visible symptom on my tongue, I also experienced some mild headaches yesterday. This is also something that I used to experience in the early stages of dry-fasting back in April 2016.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

Journal Entry: October 29th 2017 – 17 Hours of Sleep – Traditionally Cooked Meals –

October 29th 2017

Low Energy

I’ve been on a Sunday, Tuesday, Friday dry-fasting pattern for over a week now . On Friday my shift at work got cancelled. I was morally affected by the situation. When a shift gets cancelled, it means 50% less work for an entire week. I still don’t know if I’ll be able to make sustainable living with this work opportunity. In addition to the low morale, I had lower energy than usual. I tried to be productive during the morning. In the afternoon I decided to go to Palermo and do a long walk. I always have my e-book reader with me. When I get tired I usually read a chapter or two from the e-reader. I’m reading “The Stand” from Stephen King at the moment. I enjoyed my time in Palermo, the weather was partially cloudy and windy. As the clouds were passing in front of the sun, I would get or not get exposure to the sun. Moments with direct sunlight were out-winning the cloudy moments. I was able to spend over an hour at the “Plaza Armenia”. After completing several chapters of my book, I decided go back home to do more work on my own projects. I had low energy all day, and I had been feeling kind of tired. After making it back home, I was able to spend less than an hour on the computer. I decided to go to bed. It was only 7:00PM. I followed my instinct and went to bed. It was a bit hard at first to fall asleep on a Friday night in my neighborhood due to the noise coming from the street, but I somehow at one point managed to bed down.Continue reading
