Eat Fruits the Day before Your fast

Okay, so you want to use the tip of fasting to attain weight loss or for improving your health right?

That is great and is worth commending if you stick with it.

However, one thing must be stressed, just because you think you are about to not eat for several days and will be depriving yourself of food, don't think you can just stock up on unhealthy food items like a binge at McDonald's or likewise and then start a fast.

Boy, will you be wrong!!!

For one, when you detoxify from the practice, you are sure to be weakened and feel extremely unwell as a result, secondly, experts have stated that what you eat last before a fast is what you may perhaps crave for as you reach the end of your regimen.

Moreover, from my experience, since you would want to ensure that the bowels are at least half-way clean before commencing a fast, you would want to eat items that have a laxative effect on you to assist with the overall cleanse, and such items do the exact opposite.

So, where does this leave us, well, try to eat fruits the night before your fast, in reasonable amounts and preferably one item.

Or if you're not so obliged...at least try veggies..raw or properly cooked.

Hint: boiled Potatoes (is Saline water) with mashed avocados and a little sea-salt are a great pick for this.

Of course this is not everything you need to know about fasting for weight loss or whatever
however, it is one very essential part my friend...


Good Luck and to health in '07 and beyond.

Make sure you get plenty of Fresh Air when fasting

At work today, I happened to notice that a co-worker had a sheet discussing the ever so popular Master Cleanser Program in front of her.

I asked her if she was going to do it and she said yes.

However, she asked me for some pointers since she knew I fasted a lot.

I told her that perhaps one of the most important things she needed to remember was that she had to get as much fresh air and sunshine as possible while fasting, in addition to making sure she abstained from the microwave and that she used only organic citrus fruits for the fast.

She asked for other tips and yes, if offered her some more...in due course, I will touch on them in this medium.

But Kick butt and take names.

Use A veggie wash only for your fruits!

Alright, since I've been doing the vegan diet of MOSTLY fruits and root veggies (and perhaps some leaves.), I must admit that I hardly ever paid attention to just how important a specified wash for produce is.

Needless to say, since using such a product, things have changed and I now have no intentions of going back to the old route of soap.

Ever.

The following excerpt my best explain why:

Pesticides and other agricultural chemicals are specifically engineered to be "waterproof" so that they are not washed off by rain and irrigation. Many fruits and vegetables (grapes, apples, cucumbers, etc.) are also coated in wax to preserve the quality and appearance of the produce from the fields to your kitchen table.

Studies suggest that some of these chemicals may be toxic to the human body. Specifically, pesticides have been linked to cancer, reproductive problems, and neurological disorders and can be especially harmful to children, the elderly, and anyone suffering from a deficient immune system.

Veggie Wash® safely and effectively removes wax, soil and agricultural chemicals found on standard and organic produce.

Why can’t I use soap on my produce?

Substances like soap, bleach, and other chemicals are not made with food-derived ingredients, and they are not designed (or safe) for use on food. The residue from these substances can not only affect the taste of your food, it can lead to illnesses such as vomiting and diarrhea, even in very small quantities. [Read more].

So In conlusion, for your produce USE THE SPECIFIED WASH FOR THEM only!!!
