The single best thing you can do for yourself at this point is to finally quit smoking. Everything else in your life will seem very doable after that! I smoked years ago. And quiting was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. So I know what you are going through. I’ll pray for your strength and guidance. God Bless and Good Luck! Ron
]]>In short, yest it’s o.k. to fast in your condition, BUT you must do it right. You have allot of toxins in your system and probably are malnourished.
Before jumping straight into a water fast prep your body with 5 days only fresh raw vegetational, then 5 day juice feast. Make sure to have allot of dark leafy greens during these 10 days.
Once you have successfully finished this prep you can start your water fast. Needless to say, you should stop smoking during the fast as it will slow down your detoxification. But if you cave and have a smoke don’t dispare, just start over the next day.
The first 5 days will be the toughest. Make sure to get plenty of support. (That’s what we are here for! )
When breaking your fast do the above in reverse. For every week of a water fast you should come off of it with one/two days of juice, then one/two days of fresh raw vegetation.
To overcome your smoke addiction and continue in your weight loss you must continue a detox plan for an extended period of time. Make sure to ALWAYS take in plenty of water and dark leafy greens.
Last piece of advice. Take it one step at a time. Your body will need time to adjust. You will be experiencing many detox symptoms that are unpleasant. Hang in there. The out come will be worth it!
GOOD LUCK!
