Day 7: Week 1 Complete

Today's stats:
Energy level: Meh
Overall weight loss: - 8.9lbs (-1.1lbs from yesterday)
Tongue: Mild coating (still improving!)
Mood: Good
Mental clarity: Good

My "Coffee"
I woke up feeling a bit sluggish. Nothing extreme, just a little more tired than usual. I think that might be because my dreams have been rather intense the past couple of nights. First, I was hiding from a bloodthirsty beast. Then last night, I was hanging out with my ex-boyfriend. Both dreams were stressful in their own ways. 😂 I haven't had very vivid dreams in a while, so that's an interesting development.

I'll be taking some psyllium husk tonight to help clear out any accumulation of waste in my digestive tract. I've been having regular, daily movements since I started the fast, but I imagine it would be good to give my body some fiber. The white coating on my tongue definitely indicates that my body is detoxifying itself. So I think it's a good idea to support my elimination process as much as possible.

I've been taking TRS for the past few months, as well. I think that this fast has accelerated my internal detoxification process. I didn't look too closely, but I think I was able to get rid of some parasites this morning. All in all, I'm happy with how things are going.

My activity levels are going to go up starting next week, so I may consider upping my daily intake of milk to 10 cups, bringing my daily calories to around 1700-1800.

This week passed pretty quickly. I have moments when I'm really hungry and feel tempted to eat something, but for the most part, I've been feeling really good. Those moments of hunger are happening less frequently as time goes on.

Let's see how things go in week 2!

Why I'm Drinking Raw Milk for 42 Days

Image
Soooo, yeah. I am planning to drink only raw milk for the next 42 days. Yes, I know that to most people, this probably sounds totally crazy-- and unsafe! Raw milk has gotten a bad reputation, largely due to the work of Louis Pasteur and resulting "germ theory".  There are allegations that Pasteur was actually a fraud, who perpetuated germ theory despite never actually being able to prove his claims in the lab. However, since I can't confirm any of this, I digress. What's clear is that there's been a crusade against raw milk for many decades now, with regulatory agencies doing their best to systematically eliminate access to this wholesome food--a food that has been a staple of ancient diets all around the world. Why? And why would so many different cultures drink raw milk if it's so dangerous and potentially lethal? Well, that brings me to one of my favorite sayings about dairy: It's not the cow, it's the HOW.  Meaning that it isn't the milk ...

Day 5: Flash Chilling

Image
Today's stats: Energy level: Medium Overall weight loss: -7.8 lbs (no change since yesterday) Tongue: Mild coating-- improving! Mood: Excellent Mental clarity: Excellent I'm honestly relieved my weight didn't drop again. Losing 7.8 lbs is a LOT for just a few days, so I'm glad the weight loss seems to be slowing down. I also notice that my hunger is starting dissipate, as well. This morning a friend sent me a very informative video about the raw milk "cure": 7 Biggest Mistakes on Raw Milk Diet Cure I'm learning that a raw milk diet is actually much more widely practiced than I realized! And a lot of people have used it to heal from lots of different problems. Personally, I'm not using this raw milk fast to "cure" anything--it's more about a mental and spiritual "reset"-- praying for clarity about my life and certain decisions that I'm facing. But it's cool to know that many people are still using this practi...

Day 1: The Game Plan

Image
Day 1: Serving #2 with shilajit, cardamom & rose-infused honey Today is Day 1 of my raw milk fast. It's also a new moon, which is a time of new beginnings-- the start of a new cycle. So initiating the fast on this day seemed appropriate. I am planning to fast for at least the next 28 days (from new moon to new moon). I'm going to reassess the fast at that time and decide if I can keep going. If I continue to the following full moon, that would be July 4th, which also seems like an appropriately symbolic day to complete my fast. Independence Day. The first thing I did after waking up was drink warm water with lemon and a dash of salt. Then around 8:30am I had 2 cups of raw milk (gently heated). Here's the game plan for the rest of the day: Drink another 6 cups (8 cups total) of raw, whole milk (from  Organic Pastures ) and 1 cup of their raw kefir as a snack. As of now, my plan is to have 2 cups of milk every 4 hours or so, but I may adjust the schedule d...
