I am a firm believer in that which you put into your body effects your abiltiy to function. If you eat junk you will function like you have eaten junk and if you eat good you will function well because you have eaten good foods.
On this journey I have found that a diet high in raw fruits and vegetables (low in starch) minus meat or dairy products works best for me. Therefore my goal is to eat a high raw diet for the rest of my life because it makes me feel the best.
I am not advocating that everyone on earth should eat this way but it is however the best diet for me. The picture that you see of me on this blog is when I was eating a high raw diet. I was at my lowest weight since my early 20's (174 lbs). I had just gotten off of a 7 day juice fast. I felt wonderful. I am now up around 200lbs. I have not gotten on the scale in about a month so I am not sure what my weight is.
The reason for this post is that I would just like to express to you that I feel horrible. The reason I feel horrible is because of all the food that I have eaten that is not good for me. I feel as though I am stuck. Stuck in a rut that I can't get out of. It's like I have a 100lb weight on my head and I can't get it off. This is what I call bondage.
Isaiah 58:6-9
6 “ Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke? 7 Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see the naked, that you cover him, And not hide yourself from your own flesh? 8 Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. 9 Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’
Fasting breaks the yoke of bondage. God has been speaking to me for years about fasting. When I live a fasted life style healing comes. I don't really have any other choice in my life because I am miserable when I don't live a fasted lifestyle. I have such freedom and clarity when I do.
I have to prepare myself mentally and get things in place for myself so I am not sure when I am going to start. It will however be in the next few days. I will update you with my plant.
Plan:
- Eat high in raw fruits and vegetables only for period of 30 day - This means no bread or starchy vegetables as well as no meat or dairy products
- Work up to running a 5K at 5 miles per hour
- Weight train full body 3 days per week
- Full body stretching 3 days per week
- Drink at least 1 gallong of pure water every day
