so im going to fast.

ive researched plenty. online. in books. in essays and papers. in health journals and yoga literature. there is even a significant presence in religious literature. jewish, buddhist, christian, hindu, muslim. they all endorse a well-thought-out fast. so im going for it

yayayay! good for you chelsea. :) what books/info did you read about this... i am very intrigued

wellll it actually started in the food/diet section of this yoga book i read. they talked about periodic fasting to reset your body before adopting a full-on vegan diet. i was vegan for about six months my senior year of high school, but that ended abruptly. then last year i was vegan again for a while, but going to france was really hard

thank you! i hope it is all going well. i'm starting to do my own research and am very interested in doing a fast towards the middle of october...when things are so incredibly hectic for me.

aaanyhow. good luck. i'm thinking about you. :) love you.

don't forget you can't exercise really...a friend of mine just completed his 10 day fast but struggled one day when he tried to go for a run. bad idea when you have zero fuel. good luck!

lol i like how you come up with this list of resolutions on what is actually the day of the Jewish new year, but neglect to even mention judaism in your list of religions that advocate periodic fasting (even though we invented the damn thing)!!

well, actually i can't speak for hindu, but we predate those other ones kthx
