Your Fasting Journey
November 6, 2008 | | 3,585 Views
Some find fasting easy and fast for 30 days on juice for their first fast. Others have a hard time getting past two days. Just do your best. Your fasting journey will not be without failures. It is only through failures that you can learn. With each victory, you will discover the joys of fasting.
For those who press on, fasting has rewards. Clear sinuses that can smell a delicate fragrance; sensitive skin that shivers with the caress of a warm breeze; emotions that become a symphony to the soul; and a mind that can capture the profound depths of God and glimpse the joy of Adam and Eve. Instead of becoming old and sick with the coming years, you will age gracefully and be amazed at how young you feel. Hitting forty and fifty years old, life has just begun. A few more wrinkles but feeling like twenty.
To change your life in a powerful way you need to master the art of fasting. In this fast-paced money centered culture, fasting is the reset button that takes you back to who you really are. It gives you time to be at peace and find yourself. It opens doors in the spiritual realm that can free a soul or change a nation. From Christ battling Satan in the desert to the divorced cashier battling breast cancer, fasting has a power to transform the outcome.

Im proud that i was able to go for a week and the fact that i became very ill after eating rubbish again was a painful reminder of why i am doing this, it was worse than its ever been and now i know i wont fail again. I started again and am now on day 3, im...
- Tom Coghill: Hi LarryP The body will expel the pulp from the or waste from the intestine about every 5 to 7 days. It can be uncomfortable and the enema stops the diarrhea. That is why I use and enema as it is easier than the diarrhea.
- Tom Coghill: LadyLeah You can take one daily or every 3 days. The are many types and they all work the same. The water bottle type can leak.
- Tom Coghill: Hi Annita Take it a day at a time. Fasting can be a journey where the body starts to lead.
- LarryP: Water Fasting, Day 12, Woke with energy, and juxt 1 question. Does diarrhea count as a bowel movement or do I still need to do the enema?
- LadyLeah: Hi Tom, This is day 6 of my water fast and I feel great. I just have a question about enemas. I’ve never taken one before, what type do you suggest and how often should I take it?
- Annita: Hi Tom, Thank you so much for your reply. I was on the 25th day of my water fast when I started getting nausea, retching and back pain. I swapped to juice at that point and today is the 31st day of fasting (25 days water, 6 days juice). I do have a juicer (centrifugal). I’m not sure...
- Tom Coghill: Hi chthack03 Weightloss rates vary dramatically so very heard to guess. Digestion needs lots of water. No digestion, or sweating then there is very little need for water and you do not feel thirsty.
- Tom Coghill: Hi Annita Fennel, carrots and celery juice is excellent for fasting or breaking the fast. Cantaloup juice is great for fasting and super energizing. Blueberries are great but can be expensive. Load of info on the web on anti cancer benefits of blueberries. As to the retching you may...
- Tom Coghill: Hi cjthack03 Start with juice fasting a few day with a juicer. For self-esteem you have to fill your mind with good images of yourself. That can be hard to do. The Bible has loads of verses that are great for boosting worth. It be totally transformational.
- cjthack03: So this is day 2 of my water fast. I’m trying to stay up on my water intake but I just don’t seem to be thirsty. My husband is not thrilled about me doing this at all. He’s afraid of me dehydrating and losing a large amount of weight too quickly. I’ve tried to...

- Tom Coghill: Hi SbInstructor Great to have you with us. Looking forward to your posts.
- SbInstructor: Hey okay so its officiall todays my first day of juice fasting. I was on here about a month ago talking about a V8 fast for all of you that didnt think it was possible it is. I went on about a 14 V8 fast with nothing but V8, tea and water. This was just to test myself to see if I...
- Brenda: Day #11 water fast – Please excuse the misspelling etc. of the above entry – I was half asleep when I wrote it. I think I just needed to get that dream off of my mind. It was pretty intense and felt very real. I was so thankful to realize it was just a dream. I am barely in to...
- Brenda: Barely in to day #10 of water fast. I fell alseep for about an hour as was really tired. Woke up in a panic as I had a very vivid dream that I was eating KFC’s new grilled chicken and some of their vegis. In the dream someone brought the to me and I was eating them and had eaten...
- Tom Coghill: Hi Shadowpuppet, Water fasting usually reduces blood pressure and that can affect cellular oxygenation and the result can be pins and needles. Try some cayanne pepper.
- Brenda: Day #9 of my water fast – Woohoo!
First of all it is 10:15 a.m. so I am still at the beginning of the day but so far I feel really good today. Minor aching but I was in pain most of the time prior to the fast so in comparison I am doing great today. Yesterday (day 8 of the fast)... - Brenda: It is 4:15 a.m. of day #8 Thank God! Day 7 was pretty brutal – felt rough for much of it and expected this awesome day. (#7 God’s perfect #) End up getting a bit depressed over several things. Had a lot to do but all inside so I slep a whole lot both because I was tired and...

- Tom Coghill: Hi Claire, We are fully up and running in the new place. WOW so amazing. Every muscle in my body hurts. My Diet: I have juice every day, with one pineapple and about 2 kilo of carrots. I eat salad with every meal. Small bowl of oat meal every morning. Some red rice, and green...

- Tom Coghill: Hi Claire, Just came back from the cliff. 400 ft with the wifi attached to a tree and a wire running down to the house. The move was brutal. A storm knocked got our connection wet. So I am now very dirt and tire. Great to here you are doing good.
- claire t: Good morning, blogosphere. This is day four. I woke up extremely hungry, and made the kids breakfast burritos with fresh fruit. Psychologically, it helped with my food obsession, and my great&terrible hunger – making something good for them. I usually hate cooking and shun the...
- claire t: I made it through this evening! I’m still true to my fast. I was at the movies again – and this time the popcorn smelled pretty funky. Wasn’t tempted at all. I’m just exhausted and my joints have been aching for about 24 hours. The movie – which was...

- claire t: Hi Tom Day three. I am STARVING and it won’t go away. I know intellectually it is just my stomach shrinking, but I am stuck at home again today and am restraining myself from stuffing the kids with food obsessively. I’ve lost about three lbs, and if I can just stick it out,...
- Tom Coghill: Hi Claire Fasting has a huge benefit to the immune system. Yes it could be a combination of allergens and wheat and milk are the worst. Fasting it a time where there are no allergens in the blood. Lets see what happens. It will be good. How good is the question.
- Tom Coghill: Hi Claire, The new place is amazingly huge, with two decks, herb garden and fireplace. The Internet connection is a pain is we had to connect it to a tree 60 meter away on a cliff. So slow but sure.
- claire t: er…I’ve just made a fun refreshing drink…(I don’t have much else to do today) I am finishing up my Master Cleanse mixture-and instead of adding boring ol’ spring water, I added chilled Pellegrino. Whoo-HOOO! I’ll have another one of those, bartender!...

- Detoxification for Athletes and Bodybuilders (30)
- Tom Coghill: Hi Ed, If you buy Olive oil in the health food store it is legit. All stuff on the supermarket is fake. Too cheap. Better use flax or hemp oil.
- Ed: Tom, Thanks for the info and a great site. I do have one more question. When breaking the fast would a homemade salad dressing consisting of Olive oil, Vinegar, and spices be ok to use on veggies and salads. I want to go raw food for a few weeks. Thanks, ED
- Tom Coghill: Hi Ed Egg whites are great if you are training. They do slow the detox. Sure pasteurized egg whites will work.

- charity2009: Well all of the comments were right on it being harder to quit the fast than to eat nothing at all. I did it though! A few times I almost gave in to what foods “I wanted” but then I got to thinking about how bad my stomach would feel if I did. My question is concerning...

This is so nice to hear. I’ve been having a hard time getting past day 2. I love this verse in 1st John. Thank you so much for this inspiration. I want to make a single day fast part of every week. I’ve been doing this since the beginning of the year, and am getting ready for a longer fast here soon. It’s exciting, and I know, with God’s help, that I’ll be up to the challenge!

I have read Dr Joel Fuhrman’s Fasting book, and I have fasted up to nine days before (master cleanse) plus water fast of three days.
My problem:
For the past 5 days, I have suffering from a pilonidal cyst. The surgeon wants to cut it out; I don’t want surgery, if at all possible. I wonder whether a water fast will heal it. I also am concerned because I have been taking cephalexin for the past 2 days. It has a warning to keep taking it till I take all the pills, or trouble will occur. It says on your site not to fast while on medication. I feel stuck. Can you provide some insight? Thanks very much.
