I feel great today! I guess the body
has gotten used to the starvation Body
is in control but mind does wander at the thought of food.
I quit green tea from toda. Green Tea
contains Caffeine too. And as a part of the diet I need to eliminate stimulants
like caffeine completely from my diet. It’s going to be a tough
one. L So it was a challenge to find a replacement for my fluid
intake. But as usual, I found a way!

| AVOCADO |
Close to my work place I found a
juice shop selling all kinds of juice! Moreover, you can mix and match with a
variety of fruits and veggies! I chose to drink Avocado juice (without sugar
and ice) and Soursop juice. Both these juices are healthy and just a great way
to provide nutrition to my now starving body.
On a normal day my calorie intake
exceeds 1800 cal. (which is way too high) Now with the juicing, it might be
around max 300cal per day. So that leaves my body to use up all the stored fat
to function. I definitely feel lighter and clothes fit looser. I lose weight
very slowly. So I don't expect a huge difference in weight loss. And to stay
motivated, I intend to stay away from the weighing scale until the last day,
the most awaited 40th day!

I also bought my fresh supplies of
juicing ingredients! Beetroot, Zucchini, Lime, Aloevera, Carrots, Basil. I
always mix and match and don't follow any recipe. I go by the gut. I buy all
the green veggies, fruits which are rich in iron content, vitamins and
nutrients that my body would require during starvation.
When the body is deprived of food, it responds by making radical changes.
It purifies the body of toxins, rejuvenates the tissues, cleanses the aura. To
me fasting is a process of self-discovery and a doorway to self-transformation.
It sharply outlines the limitations
of our own self-control, and demonstrates to us the degree to which we are
slaves to our own appetites and unconscious. I have entered a profoundly
altered state of consciousness.
Fasting deepened my appreciation of
food as a privilege, a pleasure, and a gift. When I crave for food, I think of
the homeless, the beggars and the
little hungry children in under-developed countries. I feel their pain and
hunger. I can relate to them. I feel my mouth watering when I am walking on the
streets and look inside those high end restaurants serving delicious, exquisite
food. I now know what those hungry homeless people feel. I appreciate food. I
feel lucky and fortunate.
One things for sure, fasting
definitely alters the spirits.
