Water fast complete! Here's what i learned...

• Overeating is a nearly universal habit. Who decided this "three meals a day" propaganda? I wasn't hungry at all! Not once. I see clearly how much of eating is habit and almost any other reason than hunger and nutrition. 
• I had full energy. Very surprising. I had to purposely slow myself down remembering this was a time for regeneration and rest.
• Amazing to have so much more time free from eating and food thoughts - like adding 30% to your day.
• Lost 8 kg. Wow. Since toxins are stored in fat that means millions of toxins shedded. My eyes totally clear (no darkness or puffiness) for the first time in??
• I was very zen 90% of the time. Any negative emotions I felt were the underlying ones that i know are there already and am working on. I was never nervous, grouchy, upset, moody etc., do to lack of food.
• Any food fantasies I had revolved around healthy fruits, veggies, smoothies, fresh juice etc. I dreamed sometimes of salmon and hamberger. 
• What I will retain from my experience: 
1. Eat less! Limit portions and frequency. Eat when you feel genuinely hungry. Not because you just got home from work and need comfort food. 
2. Stop thinking of food so much - waste fo time and energy. Neurotic.
• I highly recommend the experience! I will do one 36 hour fast a week and one 5 days fast ever quarter. Next long fast I will go for 7 or 10 days.
