I am not at all a good faster. I have tried twice 1 day fast and did feel pretty good afterward but I love food and all the activities and social aspect of it so I find it is hard to stick with a fast for long.

Can I ask the experts a few questions. How do you handle the mental aspect of fasting. ie. Do you miss food or have any craving? what do you do with social activities? do you simply don't go out for the duration of the fast? Is there any activities that you purposely set out to do to get your mind off food? Do you still doing your normal daily activities such as working and running errants or you go on some sort of holiday mode?

Good luck and keep up the good work.

The above are individual preferences. Jesus fasted but so did Dick Gregory who was 400 pounds. Now Dr Benarr Zovluck (DC) may be the smartest Natural Hygienest alive. He says that the ideal fast is when you rest 24 hours a day with your eyes closed and do no activity at all. Do you have any idea how hard that is? That would give you the quickest healing but who can do that besides Jesus, Moses and Buddha? Note that he gives a long introduction to this by saying that everyone else fasts the wrong way.

So he says to do nothing. But you do the activites that you enjoy. If you are Governor Switzer then you pay a hooker $80,000 to spend an hour with you. I bet he was not thinking about food during that time. If you are the mayor of DC, Mayor Marion Barry, then you use crack cocaine to keep your mind off of food. Now if you are a Christian, then you read the bible. If you are Tiger Woods, then you play golf. If you are John McEnroe, then you play tennis. If you are Adam Lambert (lost in American Idol final), then you sing.
