SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2011
Today was a day of fasting. If you don't understand what fasting is. It's not just giving up food for a few hours or giving up solid food but continuing to drink liquids. Fasting is giving up food and drink for at least 24 hours.
In times past during fast days I would experience head aches, shaking, and other unpleasant physical symptoms.
After my lifestyle change when I fast, those unpleasant symptoms are mostly gone. I am hungry by the end of the day, but I do not have the cravings and hunger experienced before.
I've lost 142 pounds to date. By this time most of the poisons have worked their way out of my body. 142 pounds of FAT gone. Fat is where the toxins are stored. You will feel much better after getting rid of all that fat. The sugar cravings are gone as are most of the ill effects of the poison wheat I ate. I know some damage has been done but the body is amazingly resilient and self correcting when the toxins are taken away.
There is a down side to losing all that weight. I've had to buy several new suits and lots of shirts and pants. I've even had to buy new shoes as my feet have gotten smaller. As soon as an article of clothing gets to big, out it goes. I'll never go back to those fat clothes.
I also suffer all the symptoms of wheat deprivation. To learn what these symptoms are you will have to read a book called "Wheat Belly" by Dr. William Davis.
Another must view video. Make sure you watch this video:
"Enjoy Eating Saturated Fats: They're Good for You". by Donald W. Miller M.D.

Dr. Miller is professor of surgery, cardiothoracic division, Univ. Washington School of Medicine.
"One hundred years ago less than 1 in 100 americans were obese, and coronary heart disease was unknown. Pneumonia, diarrhea, enteritis, and tuberculosis were the most common causes of death. Now a century later heart disease and cancer are the most common causes of death, which account for 75% of all death in this country.
There were 500 cardiologist practicing in the US in 1950, there are 30,000 of them now, a 60 fold increase in a population that has only doubled since 1950."
Dr. Miller also talks about water and vaccines on the Lew Rockwell Show:

Listen to an interview with Dr. Miller on the Livin' La Vida Low Carb show at:
http://www.thelivinlowcarbshow.com/shownotes/?s=Dr.+Miller
"Dr. Donald Miller, cardiac surgeon and low-carb advocate, is our guest today on The Livin’ La Vida Low-Cab Show with Jimmy Moore.
Today’s guest shares his thoughts on the medical community’s poor acceptance of the validity of low-carb science and how he has the opportunity to teach young doctors and interns what he has come to realize about this healthy way of eating. Inspired by Sally Fallon of the Weston A. Price Foundation, Dr. Miller shares his experience of going from a solid Ornish Diet supporter to a dyed-in-the-wool advocate for the kind of medicine called for by people like Dr. Atkins, Gary Taubes and the modern carbohydrate-restriction movement."
I was stuck at 195 pounds for a while, after the fast today I dropped another pound.
Fasting is good for the body.
