Water Fasting – Day One

Water Fasting – DAY 1

I was very busy on the first day, hence I rarely had any food cravings till late in the evening. The cravings were not much intense. The feeling was like I am missing something, but nothing intense. I had a weight loss on the end of first day around 1 KG – 2 Pounds. Bowel movements were normal.

Staying busy is my motto for rest of the days too as I feel the more you concentrate on food, more cravings are felt. Ignoring food or any food related topic and keeping yourself busy with work or some good books is the best way to tackle food cravings. I am planning to start reading ‘Power of Now’ from tomorrow.Its advisable not to make your day hectic, but definitely keep your mind preoccupied.

The body on the first day simply uses the existing food available, its said that from the second day as it has no food available, it starts breaking fats for digestion process. This phase happens during the second and third day and these days also have major food cravings. The highest food cravings of fasting period are faced during this time. Once this phase is passed, there is almost no desire for any type of food.

Wish me luck!
