Tom - 16 days
How long did you fast?16 days When did you fast? June 2001. (Tom came from the Netherlands to fast at the Tanglewood Wellness Center.) What is your age, gender, weight before your fast, and height? 22 years of age, +/- 70 kilo and my height is 1.85 What was your weight after completing the fast? What is your weight now? +/- 65 kilo, about two kilos more (+/- 67 kilos) Why did you decide to fast? To experience fasting and detox my body. What was your biggest apprehension going into the fast? Apprehension !!!?? don’t really know what the word means. I think it is scared of ..! Lose weight !! Did you ever consider ending the fast during the process? Why and why did you continue or stop? Yes , I consider it a few times. I could not get on well with my emotions that came up during the fast. That was difficult. Continued ! Did you accomplish what you set out to do with your fast? Don’t really know. Was my first time fasting, so I did not know really what to expect. Would you recommend that people have their fasts supervised? Why or why not? Yes, For a longer periode of time a supervised fast will do you good, because there is always some there to help you, if something came up. Why did you choose to fast at the Tanglewood Wellness Center? I met Loren lockman, 2 month ago on one of his lectures, he talk about fasting. So I told to myself that I have to experience. What was your experience at the TWC like? Lovely place to stay. But at the moment when I was there now one else was there fasting. So it was a bite lonely. What did you experience during the fast? Emotions, did not know what it was or where it came from. And still do not know. What did you do all day? Most of the time a rested in bed and read some books. Just purified water? Did you get hungry? No hungry feeling at all!! That was A big surprise. Did you get weak? Yes, I did. Many times ! What was the best part of the process for you? The time to think. The time to sit. Sometimes my head wouldn't let me sleep but it really allowed me the time to work through some things that when you are busy you don't always get around to directly addressing in yourself. What was the most difficult part of the process for you? The emotions. Did not like that at all. Was it ever painful? No, sometimes a little sting in my side. What did you experience after the fast? Still trying to get my stenght back. But I need less sleep. Did you experience any changes due to fasting? Improved skin, eyes are clearer. What kind of diet did you follow after your fast? I am following a transitioning diet to a vegan-/ rawvegan diet. Was eating difficult afterwards? Not really, but my first peace of food was half a grapefruit. And I was full!! Would you fast again? Yes, but for shorter time for the coming years. What piece of advice would you give to other fasters? If you fast for 2 weeks or more and it is your first time, let some one supervise you. Additional comments: After the fast ,I value fruit more. I did not like raw tomatoes, cucumber, but now I like the taste of raw tomatoes and cucumber. Its delicious !!!!!
Thank you, Loren !!!!! |
