Fasting

[mama_bear]

I have been trying to fast. But I get sooo hungry I break down and eat something in the late afternoon.

Does anyone have tips on this? I feel so weak that I cannot seem to do this.

Thanks

I usually do a Daniel Fast, which is all vegetables and fruits. No caffeine, no sugar, no white flour, no preservatives.

I call that a headache fast, LOL!

There is much to be said about going three days without food, I usually do that when I fast, but I also take the opportunity to drink water, with a little lemon which is a wonderful way to flush the system. And it helps with the hunger.

Not to be callous (to the OP) or insensitive here, but one of the points of fasting is to subdue the flesh....and it does tend to buck and kick when it is not given what it wants. It is a good lesson in the power of the flesh.

Also, don't engage in a full fast if you aren't used to it. Eat nuts and raisins to help out your appetite. Start small.
