Fasting 2

My trip to NZ was a very short one. The original plan was with my children after their exams. However, there was something I did not plan but it happened. Instead of flying down to Wellington first and re-joining them in Auckland between 1/12 and 7/12. I cut short my trip and now am back to HK. As the change in flight, a re-booking fee of $1200 was charged on top of the $8400 fare (low season fare) - no wonder most airliners reported their historical highest profit last year since their operations even though in the economy adversity.

To compensate the incurred expenses, I've decided not to eat for the next 10 ~ 14 days. This exercise is called Lemon Detox Diet (Madal Bal Natural Tree Syrup). Whoever is interested, search it yourself and you know how it helps save your body and your money.

[Day2] At the time writing this note, I was successfully not eating for the 1st and 2nd half days which were the difficult ones for most beginners because of the "mind" and the lack of confidence. Well, it's very easy to me co's I have done that before, however still got a long way to go. I am taking this opportunity to train myself to be a lazy bug, not to do anything at all including cooking and disk washing. I know there are some 'bad' people wanting to give me some test - the tempation to break the fast (that is the word breakfast originally from).

[Day5] It is the 5th noon now. Unlike the previous ones that were absolute no food/drink at all, this one is comparatively a lot easier. It is because the Palm Tree Syrup and lemon juice provide sufficient energy to keep me going. The only difference is it cleans up your body because you do not eat solid food. Anyway I do not feel hungry or powerless. Well, their is no free lunch - The effect of burning fat and cholesterol become less effective as my body uses the energy from the syrup instead of burning from my own body. That is the reason I want to extend this program to 10~14 days (a normal program is 7 days). When I finish up all the syrup in 7 days, the rest of the time will be no food/drink absolutely. That would be the hard part to achieve. See if I could overcome it. Meanwhile, a temptation from my devil friends asking me to join a gourmet group to have seafood outing in Cheung Chau tomorrow. I believe I can resist the good food but I may not be able to overcome the long walk for the whole day tomorrow. I think I'd better stay home.

[Day6] I stopped drinking the syrup yesterday afternoon. The reason is the syrup provided me sufficient energy to maintain my daily life. You know, we do not need food to survive. In fact, we need energy to survive. Food is only a mean. Fasting by means of syrup is actually cheating yourself or it is wasting my time. So I change my plan to go for real fasting right away. Now I dont have my Chi Kung Master and I dont know if I can do that. I have to be every careful about my blood pressure and my heart beats. If I sustain to Sunday, then I consider whether to go further.

[Day7] I am about to go to bed. Tomorrow I will resume solid food. The reason is my fasting this time is not successful. I did not take any syrup for 1.5 days but I had problems with my stomach. The uncomfortable feeling told I needed to stop. I resumed syrup before I went to bed last night. In my previous attempts, I could see my belly contract to a level like hungry children. This time, cannot see that effect although I lost about 4 kgs and reduced my waist by 1.5 inches, my abdomen by 1 inch. The program suggests using 1000ml in 7 days. I used less than 500ml for this exercise.

If I fast next time, I will do a real fasting by following the Chi Kung master in North Point. I believe it is more effective. So if any of you want to lose a few pounds, you can try the palm tree syrup + lemon juice. This is not a difficult one. I think everybody can do that and the energy from the drink would provide you sufficient energy to live. If any of you want a "hell style" fasting, go for the one with a chi kung master.

After these 7 days, I should have enough quota for big feasts at Christmas. Anyway, I bought 2kgs of Agentina's red prawns + 2 packs of Japanese Oysters + my favourite NZ Royal Gala apples from Park N Save yesterday. I may go buy some frozen Samon steaks later as well. Now while I am not busy, I should treat myself well. Before I can resume normal meal, it will take 2 days for recovery. I plan to take syrup in the morning, black bean milk in the afteroon, fish congee in the evening and the next day. I have not done "ginger spring onion fried oysters" for a while. Let's do that.
