I am embarking on a mission with some ladies from my church to participate in a 21 day period of prayer and fasting. This fast includes cutting out meats, dairy, refined sugars, processed flours, well any flours with levening, no alcohol, no caffeine...so this is kind of my diet already, but cutting caffeine and alcohol will be a pretty big deal for me!
i'm already on day 4 with no coffee and so far i haven't noticed too much of a difference, slight headaches, but i also just had surgery, so that is probably my arm screaming at me! This time is to be a time to focus on prayer anyways, and the food cleanse will be a side benefit!
When I cut back to only eating fruits and veggies I see it in my skin almost instantly! I can almost guarantee to lose a few lbs, even if i'm eating ALL DAY! but I'm eating calories that are used properly in my body. So I dont feel starved, which i suppose is not my idea of a fast..but thats why I say we're focusing on the prayer and a time of hearing from the Holy Spirit! For the next few weeks and hopefully thereafter Christ will be my pickmeupper in the mornings! I'll keep you posted..
