Day Three

Crikey!

This morning felt very much like the day after too much booze. I woke up far too early to the sound of my heart dragging its feet along. Obviously my motor hasn't quite yet got accustomed to running on animal fat. I read that fasting can be particularly challenging for people with low blood pressure. When I tried to get up I was fascinated by the trilliads of little black dots - almost little black flowers that threw their shadows over everything as if I were in an expensive state-of-the-art club (have I ever been in one? Nah!).

Anyhow, I've decided to relax a little on the only water and tea fast. I had a fructose tablet to dispense with the little black flowers. And I brewed some Yogi Himalaya tea with a wee bit of honey and lemon juice added to it.

I feel far less energetic than yesterday - but it is important to keep moving. Otherwise my energy system might enthusiastically feast on fresh meat instead of fat and protein.

Why do I need to eliminate protein, you might wonder? Ah. Well it seems that an excess residue of protein can also be a problem in joints and cause arterial clogging and other metabolic diseases. It is a great reassurance that my body won't use any "good" stuff - only the stuff that has no function. That's what certain websites say at least.

I certainly hope I'm doing myself no permanent harm with this little experiment. Time will tell. One thing's for sure: meditation is far more interesting when you haven't eaten for a couple of days :)
