Anyway... this fast. It does involve me not eating for five days and instead consuming regular quantities of weird herbs and apple juice to flush my system though. Yeah, it's basically Fasting. I'm doing a full on detox fast! Eeeek.
Basically the mixture binds with the goo that's built up inside your intestines and then combined with other herbal pills (which are essentially herbal laxatives) "passes" the stuff out the other end.
Apparently the goo (known as mucoid plaque) makes it harder for vitamins and minerals to be absorbed by your body - though there's hot debate as to whether or not this is the case, and indeed whether mucoid plaque exists at all.
Still, in other words I am going to spend the next four or five days poo-ing weird stuff in the name of good health. It isn't diarrhea though, it's just soft and frequent. Gross.
I told you, don't eat while your reading this!
Day 1 - Detox fast
Had to cut down my meals to 3/4 of what I normally consume to get used to not eating - I was rubbish at this stage. Diligently took my "helps keep you regular" pill just before dinner and then two hours later, a jar of apple juice/herb mix - no ill effects to report.You mix the Herb packet (which tastes of ginger) with half a glass of apple Juice (which has to be organic) in a jar that they give you and drink the lot. Then you fill the jar up with mineral water and drink that straight after.
Day 2 - Detox fast
Supposed to only eat 1/2 the usual amount today. And it should all be vegan and organic. I tried. Had an Indian thing for dinner though which may not have been so clever. Took just one "keeps you regular" pill this evening because today I "went" every few hours so perhaps I have a healthier bowel than I imagined. Hmmm...At this stage they recommend you find the right balance of these herbal laxatives to keep you steady - everyone's different. In the worst case you could be boshing 15 + pills but that's extreme. I'm not constipated so one is enough for me.
