All I can say is continue the good work. Some professional bloggers post 3-4 times a day on their blogs, simply because this consistent addition of new content helps them to get regular readers.

Hey Kim! Just finished the cleanse/fast and am now coming off it! I just drank juice today and am going to eat only veggies tomorrow, then back to some proteins. I ended up doing the lemonade drink for the cleanse, it worked, but boy did my body NOT like the salt water drinking. Phew. Feeling good now though, thanks for the ideas!

I try to keep myself occupied. Not watching movies, mind you, but activities that enhance the fast. I will make sure to do something physical a few times a day (yoga, walking, bike riding) and last time I fasted I worked on my meditation skills which really helps me be aware of my body and have better control over cravings. Don’t watch the food network. Don’t open the fridge a hundred times. Get out of the house, garden, read a book, do a suduko, work on your blog. I found that I was never really physically hungry during the fast, it was all psychological. I just wanted the experience of eating and was used to the routine of cooking and eating. I found I had a lot more time on my hands so you can always fill it with things, like going out for tea with a friend or knitting. I always have too many projects on hand to stave off boredom. Let me know how it goes!

That’s the hardest part, Jess! I tend to journal and write about the craving and look at it from an observation point. Like, I’m aware that I’m hungry but am I really hungry or do I want to chew something, taste food, etc. Usually it’s a psychological desire for food that I have and when I realize that (and realize that I will be eating in a few days anyways) I can get my mind off food. I’m usually not physically hungry. Whenever I feel hungry I make myself drink a glass of water or tea. Filling your day with stuff that enhances the fast also helps. Avoid being bored by taking a walk, reading, doing yoga, meditating (great for focusing your energy away from obsessing about food). If you feel extremely weak or sick have some juice or a little bit of honey. Fasting is hard and challenging but you shouldn’t make it unbearable. Good luck! Let me know how it goes or if you have other tips to share.

Thanks! Sounds good… Would like to know – how do you keep your mind off food? Especially food for physical hunger and boredom…
