Fasting for Shits and Giggles
I've decided to go on the longest fast I've ever tried. I have some unfortunate and gross digestive issues, and many doctors of natural medicine recommend a 1 to 2 week fast to clear out your body and reset your digestive system. (So no worries, i'm not going Ana or anything.)
I've been to a "reguar" doctor about this too, of course. I got me some kickass pills that soothe my stomach almost immediately, but they also knock me out. Fine at night, but not exactly convenient during the day.
Day 1: Stomach hurt all day long. Couldn't even look at food.
Day 2: Stomach still hurts. Briefly hungry from time to time, but all food is grossing me out at the moment.
Day 3: Stomach has stopped hurting. Vaguely hungry once in awhile, but by this point (yesterday) I did some research on fasting for digestive health, and I decided to go with it. Energy level is fine. Only weird side effect: everything i see and hear is more in focus, sharper and clearer.
Day 4: Not hungry at all. Energy level is fine. Not irritable. Drinking tons of water and taking vitamins. Body is starting to purge. Totally gross, but listed as a common occurrance during fasting.
More as things progress. I have not yet hit a state of altered consciousness, other than the colors and sounds. I suspect that's becuse my body is chowing down on my butt fat insted of starving. Not irritable, stamina seems to be the same.
