Yes! that was a very well written Police Report! Those sidewalks are so hard.
Liquid Fast diet
Folks,
On March 29th when I was chatting with Trish Larson Wild (73) on Face Books she mentioned that she was on a liquid fast. I have copied and pasted our chat below. What I have posted was captured last Thursday April 7th. This is Monday the 11th. I needed Trish’s stamp of approval to post this.
Trish has a Doctorate (RN) in Nursing, so I felt privileged to have gotten all this great professional information/advise from her that I want to share with all of you. Please see Trish’s limber photo at the bottom of this message.
I am into day 8 of a liquid fast. The first day was the worst with hunger pains and lack of energy. Since then I have not felt hungry but food sure does look good. As of last night I was down 11 pounds. My goal is to be able to see my belt buckle without sucking in. That should be when I reach about 200 with the loss of about 5 more pounds.
As you can tell reading our chat below, Trish is really into liquid fasting and definitely going about it properly. It works.
Fasting is a wonderful thing. I love the effects, and it’s the easiest way to lose fat I have ever found. The juice is delicious and the results are amazing! Lose about a pound and a half a day.
Trish, I have been on liquid fast since Sunday. It’s Thursday here now, so this a day four. The first 2 days I lost 4 LBS, yesterday 2 LBS. 10 more to go to reach my goal of 200 LBS. I have a large glass of Orange Juice in the morning, a large glass of tomato juice at noon and a large glass of Pineapple juice in the evening. I didn’t give up the coke zero though. Monday morning I had zero energy, but I have not had that problem since then.
Wow Gary that’s fantastic! So you need to do the enema thing. Cmon – it’s not hard.
Just view it as cleaning on the inside like you clean yourself on the outside.
Don’t bother telling anyone – just go get what you need and do it. It will increase your weight loss and cleansing effectiveness.
Otherwise, your body absorbs the toxins and byproducts of metabolism and must excrete through the kidneys and skin.
It stresses the kidneys and sometimes can cause a breakout or rash.
Nowadays they sell pre mixed enemas called dulcolax, but I prefer the enema bag with tubing that’s reusable.
Also, it helps to brush the skin with a boar bristle brush. It helps the skin (largest organ in the body) to excrete toxins, removes dead skin cells, and stimulates circulation and rejuvenation of the skin.
Don’t use nylon or plastic though – it can damage or scratch your skin. Optimally you should be dry brushing for 10-15 minutes over every area of your body. You won’t believe how great that feels…
There is my unasked for advice. LOL. Please do the enema though – REALLY!
One day left before I head to my audition on Saturday.
My friend here in Altadena is on day 8 of her fast. She is now 4 pounds from her goal weight and has lost 6 pounds. She looks fantastic and feels great.
Fasting on juice rocks. Get rid of the poison you call coke. Really, you don’t need it and it can’t taste that good to you now does it?
Let me know if you want the instructions for breaking the juice fast? Here’s the quote: “Any fool can fast, but only a wise man knows how to break a fast”.
You must be away from your computer. Ok, time for bed for me. Big day of packing, dress rehearsals, and making a video. I got the horses shod today and yesterday. Their feet were tender from all the riding we’ve been doing barefoot. I’m going to take them with me to the coast and go camping after the audition for a few days.
Trish, I didn’t think I needed any instructions for breaking a Juice fast. If I do please send. With my next trip to the store I will see if they even sell enemas here. I have never had a need to use enemas. How do you find time the day to do all that you do? Good luck tomorrow.
Are you buying this juice or using a juicer? If you are buying it, make sure it’s organic and does not have added sugar. Juice starts to oxidize immediately so it’s better to make your own juice with a centrifuge type juicer. Also, it’s important to add greens, but the taste can be awful so you must add apple to the mix and then it tastes great.
Also, you can have a broth during your fast made from potato, sweet potato, carrot, and beet. You can add greens (spinach, kale, lettuce, turnip greens, arugula, whatever they have there to put in a salad) if you want to. Cover with water and simmer for 30 min, then turn off the heat and let sit for 30 min. Strain and drink the broth. Have some in the afternoon and before bed. You can also drink herbal teas without caffeine either hot or cold. Chamomile, peppermint, berry, etc. No green tea too much caffeine. Drink iced instead of poison coke! LOL.
OK, to break the fast after 10 days of juicing, plan to take four days to return to a normal diet.
Day one: apple for breakfast
small salad for lunch – lime juice or lemon juice for dressing
eat slowly!
Day two: stewed prunes with liquid for breakfast, also may have small amount yogurt. Larger salad for lunch. Apple in the afternoon.
Day Three: Prunes for breakfast with yogurt, salad for lunch, fresh vegetable soup (eat the vegetables and broth) for dinner with 1 slice of toast and a slice of cheese.
Day four: return to healthy eating mostly raw fruits and vegetables.
Also, note that each day you continue to consume fruit and vegetable juices and broth as before.
If you want to stay away from dairy, you could have a small piece of fish or an egg instead of the cheese. on Day three.
Ok, hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions. Do the enema – you’ll be glad you did. I hope you enjoy the feeling of cleansing and health building that juice fasting provides.
I’ve been eating regular food for a few days now, and I’m planning on juicing only tomorrow. Last day to prepare for my audition!
Trish, I am so sorry. I left my computer on and walked away for the day. I am buying natural unsweetened juices in small quantities. Yesterday I was only down a pound. They will come off much slower from here on out. Once I reach my goal, I will go off this fast. I will admit I am lacking a little energy, especially when first getting up, but not all that much. Thanks for the going off fast procedure.
