Leslie - 5 daysHow long did you fast?5 days, 2 days refeed. When did you fast? April 10-17, 2004 What is your age, gender, weight before your fast, and height? 42, Female, 5'5", 299 lbs What was your weight after completing the fast? What is your weight now? April 16 - 279 lbs. Why did you decide to fast? Health issues. What was your biggest apprehension going into the fast? That it would be unbearably hard. Did you ever consider ending the fast during the process? Why and why did you continue or stop? No. Did you accomplish what you set out to do with your fast? I could have done more. Would you recommend that people have their fasts supervised? Why or why not? Yes, just to check vital signs. Why did you choose to fast at the Tanglewood Wellness Center? Saw it on the Internet. What was your experience at the TWC like? Sunny days coincided with the days that I already started feeling okay about the fast. They were great. What did you experience during the fast? Lots of boredom which made some moments difficult. I also experienced quiet, solitude and a chance to change my mind from workspeed. How did you spend your time? Sitting, reading, lots of meditating, watching birds, tanning, talking, socializing, sleeping, writing journal/dreams. Just purified water? Did you get hungry? Hungry in the technical sense, no. In that sense I doubt too many Americans are hungry. I had lots of thoughts and fantasies about food, not to mention dreams. Did you get weak? Slightly winded with exertion, but in general, no. What was the best part of the process for you? From Wednesday on I was amazingly okay with fasting. I actually felt disappointment when I ate Friday. What was the most difficult part of the process for you? Monday-Tuesday after the fast started but before my stomach agreed to fast. Was it ever painful? A little stomach burning. What did you experience after the fast? I felt puffy. Did you experience any changes due to fasting? Slightly clearer eyesight. Released a LOT of water. What kind of diet did you follow after your fast? Definitely more fruits & veggies - raw. I won't commit to 100% raw but you never know. Let's see how it goes. Was eating difficult afterwards? I don't know, I've only had grapes. Would you fast again? Definitely. What piece of advice would you give to other fasters? After the third day it gets easier. How could your experience at the Tanglewood Wellness Center be improved? There should be a scheduled meditation (guided) whether Tim is here or not. Return to fasting testimonials page. |
