Fasting Summary

I waited a few days to post my official post-fast report. As I mentioned earlier, it's inaccurate to go by your immediate post-fast weight result because a good bit of water has to be restored to the cells of the digestive tract so proper digestion and assimilation can begin.

Eating on Sunday was light: a green apple before church, my favorite post-fast dish afterwards--the wonderful quinoa with a few raw veggies and parsley sprinkled in, another piece of fruit that night. Monday I added slightly larger portions and cooked veggies. Yesterday, I had a small portion of salmon--actually too early for meat, but I kept it small and I'm being faithful to load with a good quality pro-biotic and enzyme combo before every meal.

I'm adding soaked nuts and a cottage-cheese, yogurt combo this morning. I'll leave off all other dairy, wheat and sugar (let's hope sugar stays off the menu for a good long while!)

Oh, the yummy banana-raspberry "ice cream" I promised to show you pictures of got nixed for now, as my husband had it made and bowls distributed before I could even get out my camera. I'll make it again soon with a step-by-step pictorial--promise!

Besides feeling great, light, clean and happy, I lost 10 inches and about 10 pounds. (The initial loss was 15 pounds--See, told you it comes back no matter what, I've certainly not eaten enough to put any real weight back on.) However, it is an easy time to gain if I take in too many calories. Remember, my metabolism is almost non-existent right now, but, slowly, my body will come out of "preserve" mode as I feed it moderately and build up to my normal work-out schedule.

Next post I'll report some other good sites you can use for inspiration on this subject.
