this is what happened - i went to the hot tub again (really bad move) and later on in the showers i actually passed out and fell down. I got kind of scared at that point, and sat down on a bench for a bit to rest. I was getting a really strong faint feeling the whole time though, and i couldn't see cause i felt so faint and there was like a blinding white light or something that just totally ****ed my vision. My heart also started beating fast and irregularly which was the scariest thing of all i think.
i staggered out to the lifeguard and asked her to call the ambulance and then collapsed by the pool. lol. they took me to a bed and gave me some juice, and after an hour or so i felt fine, but was definately not in the mood to fast anymore. I bought some v8 juice and some beef jerky and wolfed it down. damn that was good jerky. i also just shat out some weird ass green **** that i'm really glad isn't in my body anymore. It was definately a result of the fast because i only ate a few minutes before i had the urge to **** and i was getting the urge at the pool too.
I'd say the fast was a pretty big success, i got rid of whatever that green stuff was, cleared my complexion up considerably, cleared my sinuses, and didn't feel like quitting at all untill the fainting episode. Also i'd been having knee and back pains that have completely ceased. I'll probably do it again in a few months if i start feeling congested and sluggish again. Right now i'm looking forward to a big meal though - eating the jerky didn't seem to affect me at all, but i feel alot more energetic now.
Another thing - i was sleeping behind a dumpster the whole time cause i'm cheap and bought a 170$ bus ticket across canada that i had to wait for a week to use..so i was pretty cold and lonely throughout the whole fast. Next time i'll do it in a comfortable place with friends around, and stay warm and dry.
thanks for the responses, and any further comments are welcome. It was a good experience overall. |
Fasting is definitely something to be done when you are in a controlled environment, its much easier that way too. I also think that when you do it, you need to avoid any extremes if you can (fasting is extreme enough), so hot tub and exercise is not a great choice.
The green stuff you pooped is a natural thing when you break the fast. Your colon contracts expelling things that are in it. Perfectly natural reaction.
Beef Jerky might not be a great choice, but really you live and learn.
