Dear all
Firstly – a thank you, thank you….thank you from the bottom of my heart for being part of this community. The book the Fast diet will be my bible. you all my inspiration.
this is what i promise to do
for 1 Month – Nov 17th – through Dec 17th

1) attitude of gratitude for the gift of fasting. Upton Sinclair in is 1911 book on fasting (I am NOT an expert in fasting. I do not know what is a fasting. never bothered in my life to fast. I am going to be 41 this Jan 13th 2017. By serendipity i came across many months ago the 2 books i know on fasting – Fast Diet – Mosley and Spencer and Sinclair’s book. I am not going to second guess them. I am just going to follow their directions. I am NOT going to go to any other “google” search on fasting. the book, this website forum that is it) on page 3 says : Perfect health! Now who does not want it! and Not spend money on doctors and operations.

2) A general disposition/attitude of fasting: It is NOT numbers, counts, ounces, centimeters, etc. See today i just fasted. I had 2 cups of coffee with sugar, whole milk and some vitamins. Got up at around 3:00 am EST and now it is around 12:30 pm…I have not had any other food. I feel great. My mind is rested and not excited. It feels like someone is squeezing my eyes in a good way. I feel i am detoxing!! So i am fine

3) My weight is around 200 lbs but this is what i noticed
on

March 2016

i went to the doctor and here is my report
Blood test last week
Glucose : 111 (should be below 100)
A1c : 6.6 (should be below 5.7 percent)
Triglycerides : 265 (should be below 150)

Now i believe in God and by Jesus’ amazing grace : Lord caused me not to eat chocolates, skip meals and eat less of Carbs and more protein – I stopped eating breakfast, bananas, PB&J sandwich, Cadbury bars

then again

the attitude of fasting is amazing!
i have already notices a change in my desire for food! i cooked myself good Indian/Jamaican chicken curry and rice yesterday night. Skipped breakfast yesterday.
and today again skipped breakfast.,…
the craving for food came back again 2 times..drank flavored water with Mgnisium for stress relief. put in vitamin C in my mouth and the craving passed away
i am alert and it feels great
11/21/2016 – time 11:05 am
My doctor was immensely pleased that i have not smoked for 30 + days. took help from community called quitnet. I am on a 24 hour 14 mg nicotine patch and then having nicotine lozenges. all help seeking for the first time..Smoked about 25-30 cigs a day ..and started 15-16 years ago in USA when i first came to grad school and within Spring of 1999 started to smoke
Now feels great.
the little fasting i did in the last few days…I am able to bend and cut my toe nails without getting out of breath because my tummy was getting compressed..feels great
thank you

thank you , appreciate it! yes, that is a very sound minded thing to do – trust in God with all your heart (emotional center, seat of well being if it is sound) and lean not to your own understanding – Proverbs 3:5. (as AA repeatedly reminded me over the last 22 months – self will and self knowledge does not help us when the sh#$ hits the fan)

thank you! i have not yet started it – i wanted to do Monday and it did not happen – but i had a general attitude of fast. On Tuesday as i said difficult negotiations on Monday..so i ate. Today because tomorrow is thanksgiving i ate nicely at Mcdonald. 🙂 🙂 🙂
so hard, but that is alright. I have good supporter like you and YvonneB!!
thanks for saying about your fast days – Me personally i like Monday and Friday…
also that is so true now that you mention it! 5:2 is definitely very forgiving!

thanks a lot you both for writing!
peace and have a happy and wonderful thanksgiving with family and friends!
Peace, ciao

thank you YvonneB. I wrote a reply below…I did not know i can write a reply..
thanks

Been very good thanksgiving but very bad in terms of diet…ate ate ate…
today again i had a very good but heavy breakfast
feel all excited because of the carbs and sugar…
i am beginning to realize the effect of food on mood…overeating is not good because your mind becomes so excited with all the carbs that gets converted into sugar!!

Feels great!
today my good friend reminded me of soemthing that i have thought on and off for say 2-3 years, maybe less – the spiritual effects of fasting

my personal experience : I feel i am less agitated. Have more self control over cravings of any kind. Taking more help from others. Much at peace

when eating indiscriminately : Oh the agitation and the cravings for more and more…

as a side effect i am getting these remarks : Oh you look so great! your face is shining…

happy fasting
