I am on day 20 of a 42 day fast. After two weeks keto breath decreased and weight loss slowed (thank goodness).
My face wrinkles have near gone, my skin has tightened and looks clean. My right arm is still holding excess water weight in comparison to my left. My right normally has symptoms of arthritis. I think it’s still healing. The whites of my eyes are clearing but not yet fully.
The body feels light and pain free. Inflammation has flared in different spots throughout the fast but resided soon after. There has been a lot of heat and fuzzy energy around my organs (torso) and is where I’ve lost the most fat. Which is not the norm, usually I lose fat all over.
The smell that is on my skin most mornings is horrible, reminds me of rotting meat. In general the smells and loss of mental vigour are the toughest aspects of my fast thus far. Without the mental vigour I feel creatively stagnant, which is so boring. However, the smells tell me that this is all the toxic shit that I’ve been storing in my body for how long? I just want to burn it all away and be clean.
It has started to become an intense challenge, I feel emotions bubbling to the surface. I just want to persevere, because it feels like a huge spiritual release. 🥹 I’m having a vulnerable day
I wish you a successful journey 🎉
