Wrapping up day 3 of the New Moon fast. Easier than the last 2, by far! Nice mental clarity, very mellow feeling, and serenely happy. I'm evidently detoxing nicely, as I've had some little bumps come up in the small of my back. Not sore or itchy, just there. I did some research, and discovered that this can happen, and is the way your body's biggest organ, your skin, helps get rid of the 'ick' inside. Weight is stable today, but I am retaining water. I really have to consciously remind myself to drink, drink, drink! I found an interesting video interview with Dr. Mark Hyman, one of the proponents of a higher fat diet. In it he said that the Nutritional Advisory Council that advises the US government on the dietary guidelines has taken fat off the list of foods to be avoided, or used sparingly. It's a really interesting interview, if you're interested in watching what NEW science says. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgWBKJsJtk0He also is advocating and working towards getting more nutrition education in medical schools. YAY! ~Kes

Glad you're doing well. I'll watch the interview, I hope it's not long before this NEW science really gets out there.

Dr. Hyman is one of my favorite authors.

Wow! Easy, breezy Day three! I drank a quart of water so far today. Was very positive and energetic. Good day, overall.

Very interesting! Do you ever get a massage during this time?

Ohhh, Lizzy....what a great idea!!! My massage therapist does an energy technique called Jin Shin Jyutsu that puts me right into Nirvana. In this fasted state, I might actually just leave my body and go soaring into the stars! Then, again, getting a lymphatic massage might also help with the detox. I'm calling her tomorrow morning! Thanks for the suggestion!

Sounds like you had a great day 3 also, Lady! We B rockin dis shizznizzle! LOL!!!!
Some people get stuck so deep in their belief systems and their 'education' that cognitive dissonance takes hold, and they just can't see outside what they "know". That's ok, though. Whether they believe or not affects me not in the least. I received a severe reprimand in a PM for my stance, and was told it was "unattractive". ROFL!

Day three! You go girl! When your fast is over I'm gonna send you my mom's awesome conch chowder recipe ok?

@CC, Yes, please!!!!! I have one from Roatan that is amazing, but it has potatoes and green plantains in it, which are a no-no on LCHF. I have some conch in the freezer, and would LOVE a Bahamian recipe for chowder. Coconut and conch are a match made in the Caribbean (also known as heaven)!

That is good news from Dr Hyman. I hope the UK will follow.

Drinking water is great. I spent most of my life drinking very little (just tea, coffee and soda). Now I try and drink 2.5 Litres/Quarts per day

I was never a believer that massagees brought out toxins till i dated a Rolfer therapist. I wasn't feeling that great and he said to me, maybe i shouldn't get a massage. I felt so blaa i insisted it would do me good. WELL, i learned that YES it does bring out toxins!!!!!!!!!! I was sicker than a dog , in guatemala for the next few days. Note to self, don't get one when sick, but if detox, what a great idea!!!!!! I haven't found a good one in georgia yet, not really on my budget. Do you have a post that explains your detox?

@Lizzy, I haven't posted an actual procedure, but it's explained in Dr. Fung's work that on longer fasts, after about day 3, when the cells see that there is no new fuel coming in, they begin a process called autophagy where they begin getting rid of damaged and dying parts and send them into the system to be 'recycled' as fuel, while constructing new parts to replace them. So basically, an extended fast is the ultimate detox. I had a similar experience to yours with a detox massage years ago. My therapist trained in South Africa, and had said it would do wonders for me. I was sick for 3 days after that one!
