I will go into the reasons later, but I have been thinking of going on a water fast for several months now. Because of family concerns ("You are going on a starvation diet?!") and my racing schedule, I wasn't able to start until now. Well, this week.
Anyway, there is a lot of information out there on fasting, so I won't bore you with paragraphs and paragraphs of my opinions on the matter. Instead, I'll just post updates as I go. The plan is to start in a couple days, so that I can sail Tuesday and Wednesday without feeling overly faint. The coming weekend is my own, and I have a week of vacation I can take if needed. My hope is that the worst symptoms will be over by June 22nd, when I will be back to sailing.
So, with luck, I will eat my last solid food tomorrow, and will not eat or drink anything other than water until July! Now, I will be keeping yogurt and juice handy in case I feel overly ill or start fainting... but the plan is no digestion for at least three weeks.
