Food as Catalyst

[Oldern]

I read somewhere that water fasting after a diet of meat etc is not recommended. Instead, the body should've run on greens before the fast.

Do you have any experience? I feel like fasting would be in place..

Well, balance is the key.
Many people do not understand how fasting works. Personally, I screwed up my digestive system at least 3 times because I decided to start fasting, then randomly stopped. Randomly started also, so...

What makes sense is to do it gradually.
If you want to fast, for example, for 3 days - water only -, you need to prepare your body when you are going into and when you are going out of the fasting. That means that the whole process is now not a 3 day fast, but a 13 day plan, where at day 1, you start lightening your food intake, up till the point when you are almost ready to start fasting (day 6), and at day 9, you do not start eating red meat in celebration of a finished fasting, but build up from the lightest food.

There is a lot of personal research to be done what one considers lighter, but really, the more simple (grains, salads, fruits and vegetables, etc) one is, the closer it can be used to the fasting phase. Very important to come out of the fasting by introducing your body to only one or two types of food, so you do not put in 10-15 different type of things that all need a totally different digestion - because that will make you feel horrible, and you will go to the restroom every 30-50 mins for the rest of your week - if you are lucky

So plan carefully, make a gradual process out of it, increase the efficiency by meditating on what you are achieving with this, and bam, you are good to go.

I havent fasted "purposely" before. If i was to choose it now i would do a juice fast. That way the bad is being replaced with good. I am assuming that water only will allow some things to retain. Then you are forced to supplement with minerals as well.

I would research which greens would be best, and which fruits may work alongside the greens. Technically you are taking in "light" with fresh juice. So there should be a very beneficial displacement happening.

I am theorizing that water fasting was the norm in ancient times because of how hard it would have been to juice. Today we have tech that allows us the juice things we could not before, like wheatgrass. So you can look at today as having the ability to speed up many processes that either were impossible or just took forever to accomplish.

I do not fully support this idea, mostly because there is a reason behind water. Water is the clearest resonant to all intents. Fasting with water only is the closest one can get to become a clear tool that resonates to the thoughts of the mind and the energies of the spirit. Juice is not needed in that period, even if it might make you "waste" less vitamins in the process. It depends on the purpose of the fasting, I guess.
