I Can’t Getting Started Fasting
I am 39 years old and I am about 185lbs at 5′-1″. My baby is 15 months old and I developed hypertension during pregnancy that has not gone away. Neither has the 25lbs I gained. Also, I suffer from intense migraines that accompanies my periods. I have no experience with fasting and would like to attempt a 21 day water fast.
I attempted to start the fast 2 days ago but broke the fast after 36 hours. Also I ate a meal today after 20 hours. I am having a really hard time getting started. I am so excited about finding this site. I would love to have a fasting buddy to keep me on target.
My weakness is that I cook for my family and I don’t seem to have the willpower to resist the food. When I am not in the kitchen I am fine. I would like to live a quality life without medication.

Is this a juice of water fast? Always start by juice fasting and using an enema 2 times on day one will get you started as you will feel no hunger. If you do feel hungry drink juice. Use a juicer. Fill in a progress report. Juice fasting always lowers and can cure hypertension.

Hi Lavie,
I am currently on a 92 day juice feast. Tom is right, juicing is so much easier to do than water fasting. Over the years I have fasted on juice off and on for up to 12 days. This is the first time I’ve made it this far (so far 67 days) and I love the way I feel, the weight I have lost and my overall feelings of health and wellbeing.
here is a great website to find out more about juice fasting (we call it feasting since you drink a lot of juice). http://www.Juicefeasting.com Good luck! I know you can do it and will be feeling fine soon:)
Love and Joy,
Elaina

Hi Elainalove
I did over 100 days of juice in 4 months when I first started and it was normal life but I felt so amazing all the time. Very interesting website. I will have to study it later.
Hi Lavie,
I too have a 14 month old daughter. I started my 40 day juice fast today. I prepared my mind and body for the fast by going all raw for about 10 days. morning evening was fruits and lunch was veggie salad.
I had gained about 33 pounds during my pregnancy of which I have lost a little more than half. I have some left over from my first pregnancy too.
I have the same problem – cooking meals for my family. I now drink my juice while cooking, long slow sips so the aroma and color of the food doesnt tempt me. I feel full with the long slow sips, for added drama i use a nice looking glass with lots of ice-cubes. Have to hide that behind a pan though, most times my daughter sits on the counter while i prepare meals.
Would love to have a buddy to stay motivated and on track.
Hi Maya
Cooking can be very hard during fasting as the sense of smell increased. The trick to to drink lots of water or juice if you get hungry. Do you have a juicer.
