So I ate my last food last night and today I start my fast. It's noon and so far I had some water with lemon essential oil and tea made out of oregano flowers and twigs and eyebright herb.
I'm not hungry yet as I have adjusted to fasting and I ate pretty well last night. I think today will be pretty easy; I just have to make myself busy with other things. Coincidentally, I got a discount of basically $20 to buy anything at a local supermarket so I will stock up on free greens and fruits :)
I'm not sure if I will continue to do a "water" fast tomorrow or jump into juice fasting. I remember how expensive juicing was... if I can handle it I will water fast for the next few days as well and have the cost of food be my motivator!
I think the benefits I will get from fasting are clearer skin, clearer eyes, weight loss, and mental clarity and overall lightness. Whoever reads this blog, have you ever done an extended fast before? How did it go and what were your results?

Liver Flush Results + Essential Oils
The liver flush went well. I always sleep deep and wake up in a fog after doing it for some reason. Hopefully my body is undergoing healing because of it. This is my 3rd flush this year and these past 2 months.
I want to try doing a parasite cleanse based on essential oils and here is my plan:
I will mix this in a capsule and take twice a day for 5 weeks with a 1 week break in between:

Long time since last post
I haven't blogged in a while due to other things that I was busy with. I am still raw and am trying to figure out the best lifestyle for me. As a matter of fact, I am going to embark on another juice fast in a couple of days which is where I left off of on my previous post.
It has been a long time since the juice fast from May but I would say that it was a success! I admit to adding too much fruit to my juices though and plan to only use green apples sparingly during this fast. I experienced great benefits from it like clear skin and some weight loss and an overall good feeling.
Since that time I developed some weird skin problems like dyshidrosis on my index finger and some small rashes in other places on my body. I have no idea what caused this as I do not have stress in my life nor do I touch toxic chemicals regularly. I began on a health kick because of this and am experimenting with things such as liver flushing (which I have experience with in the past), fasting, and essential oils. Hopefully these things will help my husband with pet allergies too; he got rid of his hay fever this year completely because of similar experiments and supplements that I will talk about in another post.
I am on a liver flush today per Hulda Clark's recipe and that will hopefully help my liver cope with my skin problems. I also drank diatomaceous earth in water every morning for about a month prior to this and have stopped recently. I got Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint pure therapeutic grade essential oils and those will hopefully help as well. I am using the lavender on my finger in hopes of it healing as the skin problem comes and goes. It got severe at one point in early August but I applied ACV and soaked my finger in epsom salt solution daily until it got better. I didn't touch the other rashes on my body and they seem to be fading.
I am also using the essential oils and some honey to try and give my hair highlights but that is for another post.
In the meantime, check out some of the pretty raw foods I made since my last post:
Beet and Zucchini Pasta with Basil Walnut Pesto (This is so good and so much better than zucchini pasta and I will have to put up a recipe for this) :
Tiramisu Cake (From NouveauRaw, it turned out great!) :
Layered Cake (Another recipe worthy food because it tastes really good) :
Blueberry Chocolate Cake (This was delicious as well) :
Lettuce with Guacamole (Great Simple Dinner) :
Basic Kale Salad (A staple food) :
