This morning, I had more energy, so I walked half a mile and managed some solid waste. Experts say that the waste continues during fasting, because fasting becomes a cleanse. I am taking some sea salt, because the body needs it to maintain cell integrity. All this water is washing out the salt. I have two sticks of butter left, and I may switch to plain coffee when they are gone. We'll see. Good coffee needs no additives, and I finally found some good coffee. Already, the stevia is gone, and I hardly miss it. When I put it into terms of saving my life, then fasting is not hard. This morning, I told my daughter about my fasting goals and objectives. She may join me while I am visiting her next month. She has been considering the benefits for her own life.

First objective: fast through this weekend.
Second objective: fast through the train trip in October.
Third objective: fast to Thanksgiving.
Fourth objective: fast to the end of the year.
Goal: fast until well or at my goal weight, whichever comes first. I have enough fat stored to keep me going until April.

Getting through the weekend will put me in the proper fasted state. Then, the next time I experience true hunger will be when my body is done cleansing. Matthew and Luke give the proper signal for ending a fast:

Matthew 4:2 "And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungered."

Luke 4:2 "Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered."

Hunger signals the proper end of the fast. Dr. Fung and other experts say this, and thus it has been recorded in the Bible for two thousand years. More than forty days requires supplements, and my doctor is both monitoring me and providing them.
