Whew... last day. How are you doing? You must feel so awesome. Good Job...Tomorrow...you eat...yay!!! Give me a report. Let me know how much you lost and how you are doing. Talk Soon!!
Leanna,
I ended my fast today. I had a really really hard time over the weekend. I was feeling nauseous and soo extremely hungry I knew if I tried going to work like that I'd blow up at someone. I had a nectarine for breakfast with some water. I made a veggie salad with carrots, zucchini and mushrooms with a tomato/garlic olive oil dressing for lunch/dinner and brought an apple for a snack. I am feeling great today now that I've eaten something and the hunger completely subsided. Just from ONE nectarine! I am happy that my hunger hasn't come back stronger since I've eaten something. Hopefully that will continue for the next few days and then I won't have to fight that feeling anymore! I've lost 16 lbs in 20 days. I hope I have the same results as you've had and continue to lose. How are you doing? Hope everything is going well with you.
Oh my god, I know what you mean..it was exactly the same for me. My husband was like "Okay you need to eat!!!" It is amazing how the hunger comes back so intense. I was super grouchy too. Physically I felt fine, but driving by food and going for groceries or watching TV would send me over the top. I was so mad. I have heard that that means it is time to end it...So....Awesome job, I am so proud of you. The raw food made me feel fantastic. I had one real pig out day, where I tried everything, crackers,cookies etc. not tons, just bits and nothing was as I remembered it (everything was sort of tasteless and dry) really weird. I have gone back to meat, not tons, but it helps with the freezing. I am still incorporating tons of raw veggies, I am just really limiting fruit and dates...which I have come to adore. I got more tired eating cooked food, but I really miss warm food. Raw won't be my diet for life, though if I didn't have a family to feed I may have considered it. Unfortunately my family would be really disappointed with salad and dehydrator food all the time. To this day though the raw food tastes the best still. Good luck with your continued success Amanda you have really accomplished alot. If you want to e-mail from time to time that would be great. My e-mail address is leanna@wickedwares.com . E-mail me sometime and we can chat. I don't think the fasters are going to want to be hearing about food :D
Take Care Amanda, I really had a lot of fun having someone to share the experience with :)
Talk Soon
