02/21/2006 | I once fasted before for 12 days, starting the day with a quart of warm salt water to get things moving, and during the day taking only spring water and a lemonade made from grade B maple syrup, water, lemon juice and cayenne pepper.
The lightheadedness and crankiness passes after a few days. The sense of smell becomes acute and, after some days, you become infused with energy and lose your hunger. It is fascinating to feel the hunger pass, you almost feel as though your spirit has stepped out of your body.
After it, I felt cleansed and refreshed. I would recommend it for anyone wanting to kickstart their system, if they are feeling sluggish and weighed down by decades of sludge building up in the digestive tract, joints etc.

02/21/2006 | I used to fast on a weekly basis, no food from bedtime Saturday night to Monday morning. I did get light headed, and probably experienced slightly altered consciousness. But mostly, I really looked forward to Monday morning.
Now if I fast (it does have some health benefits) I take juice with it because I generally don't have a whole day that doesn't require me to have energy.
