The Vit c seems to be working well! In fact im quite impressed. I havent eaten any sugar all day long and strangly enough Im not in the mood right now either. wow! Now that I think about it my mom tought me a old remedy for night time hunger when I was a young lad. She said just drink a half cup of orange juice and that will satisfy your hunger for a couple hours, and it worked, and now its obvious why. Thank you so much! BTW do you two know how to get rid of freckles?   [End]

#43371 Your husband can can thank me for the ” Wow,are you as tired as I am today??!!!” sex you two had last night because chances are he is not getting it very often. Its no wonder that guys are having problems getting it up, between women storing junk in the trunk, the fact that men are not getting it very often, and the terrible foods your feeding him, Im suprised they have the desire at all. As for the ’little boy’ comment. Its neive to assume that age has a great bearing on maturity, after all you have no idea where I have been. #42412 Your mistaken on several fronts, first, I ...

Actually no, I feel off after 48 hours...well the fast at least. Im planning on starting another on the 17th, hopefully with a few other people for support. This is the first time that I have ever come off a fast and havent gone on a sugar binge, its rather interesting. I think the reason for it is I have eliminated the sweet fruits from my diet, like apples and bananas. It may be that they were causing the problem. My ideal diet would only consist of raw greens and raw fish, and the reason for it is that they are nutritionally dense, the greens are packed with energy and the fish wit ...

Dont worry heather if you eat lots of sweets, its not really your fault, sugar is in fact very addictive. I have been working very hard to get sugar out of my diet and am doing quite well actually after a couple years. I still binge on occasion but when I do, its on a tuna fish sandwhich and some apples, and very rarely on cookies. Where as a couple years ago I ate tons of cake, and ice cream and drank lots of milk. So I have come a long ways I think. The trick has been for me to eliminate foods one at a time, first dairy (maybe one particular product like ice cream) and after about ...

Went and bought the V c, Ill keep you posted on taking 2 g per day. I do question the chewable because they contain some sugar, and if your getting sugar from them than that might be why your cravings have decreased. So I bought the pill kind cause they have celluose instead. I never used to have a much of a sweet tooth either until I tried going raw vegan, that just through me completly out of wack. I agree, dogma is dangerous.   [End]

I agree completely that table sugar is simular to cocain, and about as addictive. However I would like to add that fructose is simularly addictive. Bananas, watermelon, and grapes are the worst, then comes apples, peaches, and then citris fruits, and at the bottom are berries and sweet veggies. If I happen to eat a banana its all over for me cause Ill eat them and watermelon until im so full that I can hardly breath. Honey Im not completely sure about yet, But I bet its down there with berries. I really like the raw honey. Its funny how there exists about 2000+ different types of fru ...

Bumber! I fell off the band wagon after 48 hours. The good news is that was the longest I have ever gone. I felt very very bad after 48 hours. I couldnt hardly move, though I wasnt all that hungry, I just wanted to eat to stop the pain so I had an avacado and that helped. Its ok though cause next time Ill see if I can go longer. If your still up for it in about a week I will certainly do it with you, other wise you can start tomarrow and I can cheer you on. A week will give other people a chance to join the fast support if they want to. I bet more support = a longer fast. If you s ...

Its like the old saying goes, you are what you eat. If you eat lots of living foods than your body will be alive, and if you eat dead foods and chemicals than your hair starts to fall out and you cant get it up (among a huge list of other problems). As for not being offended, its quite obvious that you and your husband are both quite happy together, and I doubt the two of you have many problems. Its not too late to change your diet and many of the problems you mentioned as being a natural part of the aging process can still be reversed.   [End]

Of course what I said was rude, there is just no easy way to say it. Thats why your men give you some BS excuse to not have sex with you. And there is a good reason why they dont speak up about it, because when ever they try to say something, we get called childish and rude or worse. You ladies were the ones that were insulted, not I, maybe Im not the one that needs to grow up? Although poster 43371 was very right in what she said, that there are many more important things than just sex. However I do disagree that aging is a natural process. It is the result of poor diet.   [End]

Congrats on the 12 days, I hope its all down hill after day 3. Have you considured not introducing sugar back into your diet after a fast? ie. cutting out all cooked foods and fruits and sweet veggies?   [End]

I disagree in some respects, yes sugar is a neurological drug, it has little to do with the supression of emotions, or past occurances or worry. It has everything to do with avoiding withdrawl, which at the moment is hitting me with full force on a water fast. I have decided to that I dont want to live my life anymore trying to balence my addiction, Im done with it, and I dont want to go back. I hope to fast until I am no longer craving sugar and then I intend to eat only greens and raw fish. If I can overcome this addiction then Im done with it, and I wont go back. I just hope whatev ...

I really cant blame the guys that dont want to have sex with women in their 30’s and 40’s. Have you taken a look at women as they age? They become stressed out and ugly because of work and family. This is not at all attractive to men. And this is the exact reason why your men dont want to have sex with you is because women that dont take care of themselves are just gross. If he could find an 18 year old he would be having sex with her every day. Life doesnt just get in the way. There are few men in this world that would prefer work, or sports over sex...at any age. The reason men ev ...

Hi Im on day two of a pure water fast and feeling pretty cruddy. Does anyone need a fasting buddy. I dont know how long I will go, and it really dont matter much to me because I will only eat greens and fish after the fast. Im doing this to eliminate sugar from my diet once and for all so I will never have problems with binging or cravings or the debiliting effects of sugar again. This is my ticket to freedom from food and I need all the help I can get. You can post here or email me at apprentice73@yahoo.com   [End]

All the weight you lose on a fast will be put right back on when you go back to your regular way of eating. Water fasting is not a good way to go for weight lose. The term anarexia comes to mind.   [End]

Im not sure how good my advice is but I suggest simply getting lots of rest, and letting your body do its thing. Just think of all the crude your body is now able to get rid of. No wonder it feels so bad, imagine having all that terrible stuff in the blood stream. Continue with the exercise and drink lots of water, and HANG IN THERE, cause your doing fine!   [End]

I am very curious about your trip, what exactly took place? I find that to be the amazing part of life, I really feel like I belong in that silence, but because of my fears I chose to remain in the rat race. The really funny thing is that the more insight and wisdom I gain, the more reclusive I become. Its like I am being pulled by my own brain back to nature. I am becoming very unsocial it seems, mostly because I am becoming increasingly irritated by the intense ignorance of people. Its almost as if, as I get over my own self imposed limitations, that I am becoming more aware of the ...

I recently replaced fruit with steamed potatoes and steamed veggies and my sugar cravings have gone down dramaticly. There is quite a bit of sugar in cooked foods, and I would prefer to be completely raw, but for now, I just want my body to heal from all the highs and lows. I think my kidneys have had all that they can handle any way. Ill try again to get rid of sugar completely once again when I can return to the mountains. For now Im kinda stuck...but it could be worse.   [End]

At 16 all my friends were having sex...and I wasnt. The truth of the matter is that I dont think they werent either. The more insecure the person the more likely to lie about the number of times they have been ’laid’.

Now Im older and I eat pretty well, mostly greens, fish, fruit, and rice. I am quite lean now. But every ...

I have tried over and over the last several months of make my diet sugar free but when ever I try I end up binging on sweets. The craving just get worse and worse until I give in, and I always do. It would seem that I am terribly addicted to sugar, and I cant get off it. Granted binging on fruit is better than on cookies, but both make my kidneys hurt and Im just tired of needing, and being addicted to sugar.

Well, as for protien being 10 times more digestable when cooked I am going to have to disagree, only because when I eat cooked meat It takes forever to digest and I get constipated, where as I now I eat between a 3/4 to 1-1/4 pounds of raw fish daily and it goes right through me...and the interesting thing is that it really doesnt come out at all, it all goes to building muscle. I have gained about 12 pounds since I started eating all this raw fish and I dont even work out...go figure.   [End]
