Weight Loss with Fasting

Losing weight by fasting is always nice, however I prefer the other benefits that come with it. There is so much to know about the topic. I can share what I know personally and what I have heard.

I have done The Master Cleanse and have managed to last 3 days on this one and yes, I did feel better. Heaps better. As a matter of fact, my nose stopped running and my energy levels increased.

Dr. Wayne Dyer speaks about his experience with this fast on his radio show on HayHouse Radio!

Dr. Wayne Dyer says he goes on this fast 

once every three months for ten days. 

Now if you look at what Dr. Randi Fredricks reports in her book 

Fasting: An Exceptional Human Experience that she prefers water fasting. In reading her book I found out in a hurry how many different types of fasts there are and why. Anyhow, this is why she prefers water fasting. "For example, I tend to think that water-only fasting is superior to juice fasting because of the problems associated with juice fasting. Because ketosis does not occur with juice fasting, the body does not get the same respite from glucose as is does with water-only fasting."  (Kindle Locations 533-534).

Then she goes on to show how the Master Cleanse isn't really a fast because of the consumption of substances. I never thought of it that way before. Maybe that is why it is called a cleanse. (Woo hoo! learning and connections made everyday)

K, so here is my plan. I like the Master Cleanse and I love the taste of it so I will start with that one before doing the Dr. Oz Rapid Weight Loss plan again. However, in the meantime, I am going to keep reading Dr. Fredricks' book about fasting and plan out a real fast based on her recommendations.

It is important to note that you should always check with your Physician. Some people cannot do fasts. There are some you can do that are therapeutic and monitored. Even fasting clinics exist. I didn't know that either.

I was reading over many of the reviews for Dr. Fredricks' book and what jumped out at me was how it helps with one's mental state. If you find yourself feeling depressed for example, fasting can help alleviate that. I know that I can get into the dumps sometimes and it is good to know there is a healthy drug free way to help oneself. 

Onward bound...

Weight Loss Solution for Me...and you too I bet!

I have returned with an update and it won't be what anyone is expecting to hear. My intentions were good but obviously I had some more work to do on myself to overcome my obstacles.

What were my obstacles? 

One. Me. Ouch! 

*This photo was taken on Feb 17th, 2014. (I did say I would attach a recent photo) You can't tell I weigh 220 lbs here I bet!

I am bouncing back and going through an awesome program for people like myself right now. But first I want to say that Yes, I am an empath and take on other people's stuff. Often I cannot tell it if is me who is mad or sad or they are.

A really funny example of this is not being able to watch certain TV shows. If I connect and relate to a character then I become them. My body reacts to the predicament they find themselves in as if it was happening to me. Usually this strikes when someone is about to make a fool of themselves.

Colette Baron-Reid (a fellow intuitive) has an online course called -

 "Weight Release Energetix Lite".

You can sign up at any time. It is for people who feel too much based on her book by that title.

Video below is about the book Weight Loss For People Who Feel Too Much. The course follows the book and so, so much more!



Personally, I am really enjoying the information in this course and the support. For example, there are weekly coach calls that you can call in and ask questions. There is a Facebook Group Page!

I love, love, love the meditations!

Speaking from my heart, I really do want people to know about this fabulous course. As a matter of fact, because I haven't been doing all I am supposed to be doing week to week (for 6 weeks) - I have already had a dream that shows me I start all over again and give IT and ME the 100% it deserves. I'm not the only one. I saw someone else post on the Facebook Group Page that they are doing the same.

What really rocks is how Colette gets you to become aware of your "Chatterbox". It is so hilarious how she imitates what a Chatterbox sounds like. Boy can I relate to that.

Anyhow...I am committing here to regular posts and what I am learning wherever I am learning it from and how I am feeling day to day.

I can say that I have not been feeling well for a very long time. It's actually similar to a hung over feeling but very low grade. As if I am missing essential nutrients. It really gets me when I haven't had enough rest.

All aboard!
