Day 11

I am feeling pretty perky today. Went out for breakfast with some friends and business associates and just watched them eat. I watched them eat and just sipped at a little herbal tea. That felt really powerful to me, the ability to watch others eat while making the conscious choice to continue my fast and continue my healing.

Water. You must drink lots of water each and every day while on a fast. Your kidneys are trying to get rid of toxins as fast as they can. Make this easier and drink lots of water. Do not drink: diet soda, coffee, green teas, juice or anything that contains any calories at all. Calories are not your friend on a fast and caffeine and other chemicals in coffee or tea or soda will not help you at all during a fast.

I do recommend drinking the juice of one lime per day. I get a 32 ounce glass and squeeze in the juice of 1/2 of a lime and sip away. This settles my stomach and gives me just a little bit of nutrients with only very minimal calories. Then I have the other half of the lime later in the day. I have found this very soothing.
