Fasting Demands Mental Toughness (apparently)
Someone I was speaking to today compared the act of fasting or going without food for a prolonged period to time to doing the Kokoda Challenge – 96 kms of rough and rocky terrain by foot in one hit. You can walk, run or crawl and it usually takes between 11 [...]

From up to down with a toilet break in between
Earlier…
I feel like an energiser bunny today! The perfect word is “manic” actually (no cute images of pink, fluffy rabbits bouncing up and down annoyingly rather a too bright to look at rotating orb of fire. Yup. That’s me.) I feel like my mind is expanding [...]

I “Need” Something, Anything, Everything!
I ran out of maple syrup today (horror of horrors!) and as a result didn’t have the right amount to add to the lemon and water and cayenne pepper (and no opportunity to buy some more). I’ve been MASSIVELY hungry ALL day! This is the first time in a week [...]

Food Addiction Is…
Unless you’ve been addicted to a substance or activity in the past, you may not be able to relate much to the following. When the subject comes up in conversation I often hear comments like “They should just stop. I did.” I also hear opinions voiced on shipping all drug addicts and alcoholics [...]

What would make anyone WANT to do a fast or detox?
Still got a headache which is really surprising. Nothing major, just a gently boom, boom at the back of my eyes. I felt really tired and heavy when I woke up this morning but effortless once I got going.
What I’m thinking about today is what [...]

Human Potential
Still got a slight headache but there’s an amazing brightness and clarity in my brain. It feels like something kinda snapped (in a good way) in the centre of my brain – like a rubber band stretched to tension point then released. Nice.
Woke up bright as a button at 3.30 am – silent mind. [...]

What Do I Need To Do?
Every day take:
210 mLs of fresh squeezed lemon juice
210 mLs of maple syrup (the real stuff in glass, not the fake flavouring attempt in plastic)
1775 mLs of water
1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper
Mix it all up, pour it into some jugs (I’m using a thermos) and drink throughout the day (or [...]

Do I really want to do this?
Earlier
When I talk about fasting, the first thing someone usually says to me is “why?” “what are you going to get out if it?” “why would you not want to eat?” This question is often followed closely on it’s heels by a brief sideward glance (I think people actually [...]
