style=”font-weight: bold;” If you eat marmilaid that is a marmolaid fast. If you blend it with water, it will be a marmolaid juice fast. You may be the first to try it, going where no marmilaid eater has gone before. Not technically a juice fast but you will detoxify…> Article Tracking: question, questions, marmilaid, detox, peanut, calories, metabolism, water, juice, excess fat, tom coghill. Hey Tom, once again, thanks for all your responses. I had another question since now I am on day one of the fast. Could one consume jelly jam or say marmolaid jam or is that breaking the rules. Also what would warning signs be as time to STOP. I am doing this on my own accord and not with a doctor. Nathan If you eat marmilaid that is a marmolaid fast. If you blend it with water, it will be a marmolaid juice fast. You may be the first to try it, going where no marmilaid eater has gone before. Not technically a juice fast but you will detoxify. If you add up the extra fat on your body then multiply it by about 3500 calories per day. Then divide it by 1500 calories for the first week and 1200 calories for the second week and 1000 calories or less for the 3rd week then you can get an idea of how long you can fast on water. As to juice you could live on it. I heard of a guy who did 3 years to protest the War in Vietnam. When you see a lot of ribs and when you sit down and feel bone then you are getting close to using all your body fat. At that stage the body’s metabolism will drop down to 600 calories per day. The end of the human calorie reserves may be over 90 days for people with 40 lbs. of excess fat and a slow metabolism. So what exactly stops a fast. Like the instant say a peanut is eaten or what. So jam wouldn’t cause a stop. Nathan One peanut will not stop a fast but 300 peanuts will. It is all about calories and metabosism. If your body has less calories than your body need your body starts to detoxify detoxification. Technically, one glass of juice will end a water fast and any food will end a juice fast. But there are many ways to detoxify the body. Read Detox Methods

During fasting, the body conserves energy. The heart pumps slower and blood pressure lowers. Standing or moving quickly from a resting position will cause the blood to flow to the legs…> Article Tracking: bad breath, blackouts, cankers, chills, colds, diarrhea, causea, nervousness, skin problems, tiredness, problems, lung, lungs, tongue, brain, oxygen, mucus, vaseline. Bad Breath Waste passes through the lungs, which are an eliminative organ. Brushing the tongue with a toothbrush, using dental floss and rinsing with mouthwash will reduce bad breath. I do not recommend chewing gum for a fast as it stimulates digestion, but if you have a meeting with a big client, it may be wise to chew a breath freshener. Health food stores have natural breath fresheners. Blackouts During fasting, the body conserves energy. The heart pumps slower and blood pressure lowers. Standing or moving quickly from a resting position will cause the blood to flow to the legs. For a few seconds, the brain may not get enough oxygen, causing blackouts and dizziness. To stop a blackout, get down on one knee or sit. Lowering your center of gravity will instantly stop a blackout. Blackouts are more frequent during water fasting. On longer water fasts, breathing quickly for a few seconds before standing will stop all blackouts. Cankers During a fast, unhealthy bacteria increase between the teeth, and the tongue becomes coated with waste that can cause cankers. To stop cankers, gargle with sea salt mixed with water several times daily. The most effective remedy is to dab salt on the canker but the pain will be very intense. Dabbing the sore with tea tree oil or vitamin E quickens the healing process. During fasting, the cankers can be large and very painful. Chills Almost everyone becomes sensitive to the cold during a fast. You will need to dress warmer and take extra clothing if you go out. A hot water bottle brings great comfort. Colds Mucoid is the perfect food for viruses. Toxins weaken the immune system. When large quantities of toxins and mucus are in the blood due to a fast, the body can become susceptible to colds. To fight a cold, continue fasting to eliminate the mucus. Reduce the liquid intake and drink lemon juice. When your body is clean from mucus, you will never catch a cold again. Diarrhea Fruit juices have a laxative effect, which is more pronounced after water fasting. Using the enema can stop it. Using psyllium husk during diarrhea will help regulate the system. If there is rectal burning use Vaseline. Hair Loss It can be a terrifying experience to start losing hair during a fast or raw food diet. Joel Fuhrman, M.D. states, Hair loss after fasting is not uncommon, it even has a medical name called Telogen Effluvium. Telogen Effluvium results from the conversion of a large number on anagen (active) hairs to telogen (resting) hairs, with subsequent shedding. It is usually observed 1 to 4 months after a precipitating event but may occur up to 8 months later. Typically less than 50% of hair is lost and be noticed only by the person suffering with it. Many drugs can cause this, but it also can be precipitated by rapid weight loss, fasting, surgery, childbirth, illness, infection and psychological stress. No treatment is necessary for this self-limiting disorder, although the duration varies form 6 to 12 months. Hair regrowth is always complete. Headaches Toxins can cause muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders. This can result in tension headaches. Massaging the neck and shoulders will help relieve the tension. The herb, Fever Few, which is available in health food stores, is well worth trying. It is acceptable to take Tylenol to get through the early stages of fasting where headaches can be very painful. Muscle Tightness The muscles may become tight and sore due to toxin irritation. The legs can be the worst affected, as toxins accumulate in the legs. A self-massage, hot baths, stretching and exercising will help to release the toxins. Nausea When waste is released too quickly by the lymph glands, some of the toxic overload is taken by the liver and secreted with bile into the stomach. This causes nausea. Drinking water or carrot juice will dilute the bile and toxin mixture, helping to flush it from the system. Nervousness The elimination of toxins can irritate damaged nerves. A hot bath or walking will relieve tension. Skin Problems The skin may become oily as rancid oils are purged from the body. People with problem-free skin may have a few days of pimples or even a boil. A pallid complexion is also a sign of waste in the blood. When cleansed of mucus and toxins, the skin will be healthy, soft and unblemished. Tiredness Tiredness is normal during water or restricted juice fasting. If the tiredness is too much, increase the quantity of sweet juices like melon and carrot juice.

Article Tracking: doctor, healing, fasting, medical supervision, nutritional training, detoxification, fasting supervision, psychiatrist, modern medicine, preventive medicine, voodoo, enzyme, liver. What doctor will you find that has any information on fasting? Most doctors will admit to about 6 hours of nutritional training and nothing on fasting. The concept of detoxification will be foreign to most doctors and your request for fasting supervision may gain you a referral to a psychiatrist. Modern medicine has a fix it when it breaks approach to healing. Preventative medicine and natural healing are consider almost voodoo. They could monitor enzyme liver levels to see if your liver is breaking down and yes that could happen after 30 days on water if your liver is weak but if you are tacking a juice fast for a few days with 20 lb of excess fat, worrying about your body falling apart because you missed a few meals is fear. The concept of medical supervision is watching for something to break down when fasting has endless testimonies of healing, events well beyond the ability of modern medicine. If you are worried… stop fasting. Fasting is like a diving board. You can talk yourself out of a great experience.

Starvation or Fasting?

Article Tracking: starving, starvation, fasting, absence of food, cleansing, lack of food, emotional stress, physical labor, excessive fat, abstain, blood, bone marrow. There is a vast difference between fasting and starving. During the absence of food, the body will systematically cleanse itself of everything except vital tissue. It continually readjusts to make minimum demands on reserves. Starvation will occur only when the body is forced to use vital tissue to survive. Humans adapt amazingly well to lack of food. A. J. Carlson, Professor of Physiology, at the University of Chicago, states that a healthy, well-nourished man can live from 50 to 75 days without food, provided he is not exposed to harsh elements or emotional stress. There are numerous examples of water fasts over the 75-day mark. Granted, 75-day water fasts are unusual, but it shows that God has wonderfully created the body to be able to live for extended periods without food. Each extra pound of fat will supply enough calories for one day of hard, physical labor. Ten pounds of fat are equal to 35,000 calories! This is equivalent to 35 pounds of fish or 192 pounds of carrots. We carry around a supermarket of reserves capable of sustaining us for many weeks. All living things have been given the ability to survive harsh circumstances. Organisms are able to store nutrients in the fat, blood, bone marrow and other tissues. Camels are capable of storing fat and water in their humps. Tadpoles abstain from eating when their legs are developing, subsisting on their tails, which are no longer needed. The Mexican Gila Monster stores up reserves in its tail when food is plentiful and can survive for six weeks when food is scarce. The marine iguana of the Galapagos Islands is named the Vegetarian Dragon because it lives on seaweed. It can abstain from food for over one hundred days. In the Western World, food is plentiful and rich in calories. Unless involved in strenuous exercise or famine, we do not have the opportunity to use up the excessive fat deposited around the waistline. It will take several weeks of catabolism before the body is stripped of fat, dead and dying cells and is forced to dissolve healthy cells for calories. This is the point of starvation. If you are fasting and still have fat on your body, you have a long way to go.

Will My Stomach Shrink While Fasting?

Article Tracking: stomach, bloated bellies, eating, diet, shrink, stomach shrinking, over eating, fats, beer, soda, coffee, liquid, liquid intake, elasticity, junk food. From years of over-filling the stomach, it is no surprise that it has lost its natural elasticity resulting the bloated bellies so common in North America. There are several ways to shrink the stomach. Shrink your stomach by reducing food intake. Reducing you food intact to less food at each meal will help the stomach regain its elasticity. This is difficult as you do not feel full and want to continue eating. You may have to get away from the food and have another activity ready for when you have eaten the right amount. It takes at least a few weeks to shrink your stomach and months if you have badly stretched it through overeating. Shrink your stomach by reducing liquid intake. Beer drinking is probably the worst then jumbo sodas and jumbo coffees. Liquid is heavy and a quart of fluid pressing down on the stomach lining will badly stretch the stomach. Do not drink until you are bloated. Take you time. And avoid jumbos and “super sized” junk food. Be aware of how your stomach feels. Shrink your stomach by fasting. Fasting helps recover the stomach

Commonly Asked Fasting Questions

Here are some of the questions we have answered. If you want your answered, sign up and post a question…> Article Tracking: questions, overweight, starvation, physician, glycogen, gastric secretions, stomach, liquid, damage, cramps, watermelon, bloated, physical labor. How can I be sure that fasting is safe? Everything has risks, but juice fasting is a safer healing method than medications. Your physician will monitor a fast if you request it but fasting is a normal body system that can be stopped at any time. Most overweight people carry enough calories stored in their fat reserves to last for months without food, so worrying about damage due to starvation on a 5 day juice fast is foolish. Can I exercise while fasting? Exercise oxygenates the blood. The pumping action of the muscles flushes the lymph system and cells of metabolic waste. Exercise is important but not necessary during a fast. You will feel weak during water fasting, and rest is advised. While juice fasting, you may experience an abundance of energy that can make exercise easy. At other times you will experience energy loss. At these times, limit yourself to stretching exercises, light walking or deep breathing. During a fast, try to avoid intense, physical activity even if you feel energetic. You can feel tired and weak for the next day or two after intense exercise as your body tries to recover the glycogen reserves in the muscles. How much should I drink? As much as you want! When water fasting, drink when thirsty. Your body has a homeostatic mechanism that triggers thirst in relation to the body
