J’ona - 17 DaysHow long was your fast?17 days fasting; 4 days refeeding When did you fast? August 9 – August 30 2003 What was your age, gender, height, weight before your fast? 43, F, 5’5” and 192 lbs What was your weight after completing the fast? What is your weight now? 170 lbs – last day of refeeding it stayed the same weight Why did you decide to fast? Multiple health reasons, mental clarity, to get off Rx meds & to lose weight of course. What was your biggest apprehension going into the fast? Can I make it thru 21 days away from my regular life, family, routine, meds Did you ever consider ending the fast during the process? If so, why? Why did you continue/stop? First Day, Second Day, 3rd Day & 4th Day. At that point I realized the information I was getting and the comraderie of the other guests and the staff were really all I needed. My family was a great support system for me. Did you accomplish what you set out to do with your fast? I feel I just got it started. Time constraints wouldn’t allow me to stay longer but it was a very good attempt to get the healthiest cleaning possible. Would you recommend that people have their fasts supervised? Why, or why not? Definitely. No other way. This can’t be done in a normal routine of lifestyles. For me I still had energy daily so I never had any healing crisis, but had moments of lower energy. Why did you choose to fast at the Tanglewood Wellness Center? The fact that it was water fasting and supervised. The website was very helpful. What was your experience like at Tanglewood? By day 21 I wasn’t ready to leave. I love all the staff and the guests for everything they’ve done to make it a great experience. What did you experience during the fast? That my body really needed to slow down & think for a minute. How did you spend your time? Reading, writing down recipe alternatives for my family, going to the lectures, movies. My therapy was being in a comfortable environment to talk to guests & staff, building rapport & comparing lifestyle changes once we leave. Just purified water? Were you hungry? No. Not at all hungry. Mental cravings popped in but was never hungry for the food. Did you get weak? A few hours a day a little tired—muscles got weak from no exercise, but still energized. What was the best part of the process for you? The finale of the accomplishment What was the most difficult part of the process for you? The coming in the door and the going out the door. Was it ever painful? No—you cramp a little, but I never experienced any discomfort at all What are you experiencing now after the fast? I hope to continue to lose the weight & the inches, but will remain committed to a healthy raw fruit diet. Did you experience any changes due to fasting? Only the positive side. My health is better & I’m ready to move on. What kind of diet are you following after your fast? Raw Food Is eating difficult for you now that you’ve complete the fast? The refeeding days were great. My first response to the watermelon. I thought it was erotic & satisfying. Would you fast again? Yes—probably every 6 months to a year What advice would you give to other fasters? Just decide you only want what your body is supposed to have. Ask questions along the way. Return to fasting testimonials page. |
