Quarterly Fast, Day Two
Jan. 3rd, 2007 10:36 amI've decided to make a fast a regular part of my lifestyle. Two months of dieting is about my limit, as far as enthusiasm goes. I can soldier on through another week or two, but then I really want to not do whatever I've been doing - counting calories, avoiding carbs, whatever. So, every three months I'm gonna reboot with the lemonade fast. It's supposed to be cleansing, and I drop 5-10 lbs in just a few days, which is a nice jump start to actual dieting. It's not sustainable, by any means, but for three days, I'm unlikely to be doing myself any real damage, right?
The downside, is I give myself permission to be a little decadent in the week or two before the fast, which was nice for the holidays, but it's an impulse I should try to keep in check.
Anyway, today is day two of three, then a juice fast for 5 days, then salads, After that I'm probably going to jump into some sort of meal replacement system, do shakes for breakfast and lunch. I feel like not thinking about menus for a while.
