RE: 7 Things I've Discovered During My No-Food Fast

in #money9 years ago (edited)

You know what, I didn't even think of it like that lol. You're totally right about it being a bit ambitious, at least that's what I'm calling it. It was probably kind'a dumb to just be like "oh yeah, I can just NOT EAT for 10 days, why not!" xD

If I remember right, I had read something about what the body goes through and how it winds up cleaning it's self out when you go through a fast and how some medical practitioners even use it as a last-ditch effort to help some patience as a means to just let the body rid it's self of all the garbage making them sick... it all sounded really interesting so I just did it. A few days in I wanted to quit but I was so curious what tomorrow would be like I just stuck it out.

Unfortunately I'm the type who will get light headed after not eating for 24 hrs so I had to constantly take a knee, which is what "they" suggest you do when fasting if you ever get a dizzy spell... take a knee and chill out till it's gone then take it easy.

After that first week however, the dizzy spells went away. It was actually a really interesting experience overall.

Oh... and I ate a LOT of crushed ice just to deal with that physical habit of wanting to chew on food. Luckily my fridge had a crushed ice maker at the time but if it didn't I would have probably just chewed up a bunch of ice cubes anyway. That was all in the 1st week though. It seems like after all that typical hunger stuff went away I pretty much didn't really think about food all that much. I'd get the occasional want for something but it wasn't very strong and passed quickly.
