Re: Would Whey protein powder break a fast?

I was planning on doing a long fast because I felt so, so good when fasting (no doubt due to my previous very unhealthy lifestyle and diet.)....

I remarked to my dad that I felt like I was a kid when I woke up. When I was a child, I sleep so well and would wake up smiling and singing because I felt so refreshed - so ready to LIVE!

I guess I wanted to extend that feeling. I have to admit this is my sole reason to wanting a long fast. I will take your point home though. I will do series of short fasts and learn about the different purposes of fasts (different organ cleanses, parasite flush, etc.) One day I will return to the health of my youth with short fasts (combined with exercise and proper diet) and re-find that excited energy.

Thanks for you help Somer. I see that you post quite a bit. I didn't see if you were a moderator or not, but I appreciate you taking time helping people out on a subject which America is sorely knowledge deficient.
