Day 4

Day 4

I stepped on the scale today. 230 pounds! From ~239 to 230 in 4 days! This is why fasting is such a good way to lose weight. Significant results are achieved almost immediately.

I took my diatomaceous earth this morning with green tea, instead of water. I added a bit of lemon juice because it enhances the absorption of the flavonoids known as catechins, which are in the tea, and are powerful anti-oxidants. It also helps the flavor. Green tea is also high in Phosphorus and Potassium, which complements the minerals in Diatomaceous Earth.

I've started taking brief, quarter mile walks, about 15 minutes, daily. As time passes I'll up the distance. I don't want to do too much because while a person fasts they need to take things easy and not over-exert oneself.

I'm fortunate to have access to a infra-red sauna, and I'll be taking 40 minutes saunas 3 times a week, or more for the duration of my fast, and beyond. I'm really serious about thoroughly detoxing myself with this fast. The sauna will greatly enhance the detoxification process.

A thorough detoxification, I think, is the only way to rid myself of the visceral fat which is not only very unhealthy but pushes my belly so far out I look pregnant. Not a pretty sight, I assure you. I am determined to flatten my belly with this fast. I'll write how I further plan to do it in later posts.
