So I am doing a 2 day water fast, then 3 weeks of a vegetable juice fast as per the idea in Markus Rothkranz's book Heal Yourself 101. I am doing this with my husband in order to detox, cleanse, hopefully heal some ailments, and improve overall well being. I am expecting this to be hard but worthwhile and it is summertime so this should be easier to do now.
Day 1:
Morning: Feeling OK, a little bit tired, and a little bit hungry but making myself busy with other things so that time passes by. I am drinking tea, a little lemon juice and ACV in water in the morning and in the evening.
Afternoon: Hungrier now but still manageable. I am drinking more tea and water which helps with the fast. I also noticed getting colder, sleepier, and a subtle headache. Getting some time out in the sun helped a lot but I just really wanted to sleep at this point. I find water fasts pretty easy to a degree because you don't have to do a lot of preparation and a lot of free time opens up in the day.
Evening: Really tired and hungry by the evening and thinking of switching tomorrow's water fast with a juice fast. Starting to crave some food now.
Night: Extremely tired as if every muscle of my body was malfunctioning. A hot shower helped temporarily but I became really tired again 5 minutes after it. Even so, I could not relax and fall asleep easily and still had the headache. But I went to bed by 9 and fell asleep by 10 and slept relatively well with vivid dreams as usual and woke up at 7.
Overall: I did one day water fasts before and handled them really well with lots of energy but for some reason this fast made me so weak and unable to focus or do anything useful.. Perhaps tomorrow will be a better day and will probably do the first day of the vegetable juice fast instead of another water fast.
