Objective:
Try out fasting for 24 h as a way of giving the digestive system a break and cleaning the "tubes"
Disclaimer:
Anyone who knows me, is aware that my emotional and physical balance is sensitive to the regular intake of food (read: When meals are late I often become cranky, snappy, and in extreme instances will lie down on the ground and cry). Taking this into account my fast consisted of half a piece of fruit 4 times during the day and lots of water.
Results:
My energy level was higher all day than usual and I had more free time (since I didn't have to find, prepare and eat food). I also wasn't weak as a result of not having eaten more than 400 calories in total. Nevertheless, I did think about food quite a bit, although I was surprised to find that the craving for food faded through the day - separating this emotional impulse from the feeling of physical hollowness that did persist.
Conclusion:
Not as bad as I had feared. It felt pretty good as eating adventures go, but there was not definite proof of improved cleanliness of the digetive system. I think next time I could manage just water (with lemon juice)..jpg)
