12 Pounds down, feeling energized. Although the fast ended early due to work, coming off the fast will take another 3 days of slowly adjusting the diet and amounts consumed.

I broke the fast with some fish oils and vitamin tablets, a small half glass of Tropical Juice mixed with a little water, bad mistake, this was like acid to the tongue and went straight through me, at least the bowels got a cleanse! Coconut water is recommended to break the fast, less harsh on the system. I also had a small tub of sugar-free yogurt for dinner, which should help with the stomach pains if you have any. One piece of toast, half with honey and jam for lunch, and yes, I could not resist a small weak cup of coffee, but it just did not have the taste appeal. I would recommend adding a small amount of nuts, fruit, and vegetables back into the diet, avoid junk foods and meats for a while.

Apart from all the health benefits, there are the spiritual benefits of going through a fraction of what the Lord went through when He was in the desert for 40 days being tempted.

I highly recommend a complete Dry Fast of at least 3 to 4 days for all who want to reach a higher spiritual level, become healthier and stronger in Christ.

For those who have a lot of weight to lose or addictions to overcome, you may need to go a full 6 to 7 days. This would need to be done under supervision and not if you are working as a laborer out in the heat.

My start weight of 88.95 kg which is about 7 kg over my recommended weight.

After 24 hours - 87.25 kg which is a loss of 1.7 kg.
After 48 hours - 85.85 kg which is a loss of 3.1 kg.
After 72 hours - 84.20 kg which is a loss of 4.75 kg.
After 96 hours - 83.50 kg which is a loss of 5.45 kg.

5.45 Kilograms = 12 Pounds
