On Fasting

A friend of mine reported on his regular Wednesday Blogtalk that he just completed a two week fast. During that time he ate almost exclusively fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds. He eliminated alcohol and other beverages other than water.

While his purpose was to gain focus on his business and religious clarity about his business direction, fasting is a great way to experience rapid weight loss.

I have not quite convinced myself to go to the extreme of a fast during my diet, but I may eventually get there. I was sufficiently impressed with my friend's fortitude that on my shopping this week I at least doubled my buy of fruits, veggies and nuts, and got very little meat and junk food. I had been craving ice cream all week and decided rather than to go without completely for another week I'd get frozen low fat yogurt. The peach flavored is SO GOOD!

All week I have been reaching for unsalted nuts rather than sweets. It's not as virtuous as reaching for carrots, but then my diet is not about eliminating all temptation, just in cutting back.

What has helped to keep me from having the munchies all the time is that I am taking two capsules of EasySlimRX every morning. This product has a triple action formula of hoodia gordonii, green tea extract and a seaweed called wakame to help keep the appetite at bay. I recommend it.
