Every year for a 14 day period I fast as well. Fasting is an amazing way of releasing toxins from the body.

I keep my eating habits relatively in balance so weight has never been an issue for me. My reasons for fasting is to release toxins that have attached whether it be breathed or eaten. A total cleansing of Self.

My fasting technique is through an ancient cleansing method consisting of lemons, cayenne pepper, maple syrup and mint herbal tea. Some refer to it as the Lemonade Diet because of course no matter what method of fast one chooses to use, we are going to loose :wink:

I will state for the record, that this cleanse gives the word "energy" a whole new meaning! It is awesome!
Secondly, there is absolutely no hunger after the 2nd or 3rd day. None whatsoever.

I also would like to bring awareness to people who are looking to cleanse, that as the toxins are released from the body, there will be visible effects. Nausa, achne, running to the bathroom more frequently, headaches and moodiness. This is all part of the cleansing process, but the good news is that it DOES go away within a week or so.

I noticed that the Internet has a wealth of information on this cleansing technique and can be found by simply typing "Lemonade Diet". Make no mistake, this cleansing fast has been around for centuries! Its just that people more inclined to try something with the word "diet" rather than "Fast or Cleanse". :)

Open, I can totally relate to being reduced to tears in a fast transition. The release is truly an amazing experience.

Thanks for sharing and happy fast :)
