6th day, no acid reflux and feeling good!

I don't know if the tea from yesterday is to blame or the green algees I took with the water to fight the acide reflux... but today I'm feeling good!
I was searching the net for some more information about acide reflux. First I came across a website from doctors saying that they mostly treat it with medicine, or if needed operation.  Scary!

Then I found an Indian website. Talking about how they think in India.  Wow!  What a different; in stead of treating the symptoms, they look at what could be the reason for the problem.
One of the best information I found was that one should not fill the stomach more than 75% so that the stomach has room to digest, as well as it is important to eat the days biggest meal when the sun is at its highest. So I guess one of the reasons for norwegians having acid reflux could be that we fill up to much and eat dinner to late?

The site I found was in norwegian, but thought I'd give you the link anyways.
If you know norwegian or Google translate you could get the info in english as well. http://www.ayurved.no/blogg/kunnskaps-arkiv/helselosninger/fordoyelse/halsbrann-og-sure-oppstot/

5th day is strange. So much energy!

Today I focused so much better at school. When I got home I finished off so much stuff.  The only problem for me so far is the acid reflux.  I bought some seeds that were suppose to help, when making tea. The name of the herb is caraway. Will see.  Today I've lost a total of 5kg.

Coming to school. Free food

Can you imagen being hungry and then you are presented with free food. And lots of it?

It's late, and acid is my friend

I think the smell of good food made by my roommates had made my body believe it's time for food.  So Now my stomach is full of acid.

Why do I do this?

Just water for two weeks. Today is the third day... and I've heard it suppose to be the hardest day.  So far I agree.  Right now I'm craving for food. Any food.  It didno not help that my friend baked muffins an came in to my room and gave them to me.

So hyngry!

Oki. So Now I'm getting hungry. . .

It's not easy to have a good cook in the house. She is making so good food. It's smells so good!  It's going to be interesting to see if I start to dream of foods soon.

First day of fasting.

It's been 19 hours, and i just felt the taste of caramel. Could it be that my body tries to tell me something? 

I tried fasting before, just about a year ago actually. I broke the fast after 3 days... i so wanted that hotdog! hehe. 

Well... why do I do this, what's the reason? Some time ago I saw a documentary on the Norwegian national Chanel. NRK. They had focus on fasting as an alternative cure for many different diseases. The program gave me inspiration to try it out. What could I lose? 

I've been interested in health and good food for some time now. And realizing fasting could be good for your health. Well, why not try it when one feel good and healthy? Its a good chance I'll stay that way. Also I love to experiment, and see how I react to different things. Being on a fast for an extended time would be interesting! 

One of the things they found was that people with cancer, that were on chemotherapy would react much better to the treatment if they were on a fast. So for how long am I going to fast? well... first I was planing on two weeks. 

If I don't get hungry... I will keep it going. It will be interesting to see how it goes, considering my exams is coming up as well... Today I was waing in a 82kg which is about 180 pounds. I will stopp fasting if I get under 70... so I have 12 kg of tissue to burn before I will consider it dangerous.
