This fast would have gone alot smoother for me had I known about this, but I prayed to the Lord as I was struggling with this fast. I believe He allowed me to know about this to help me down the road and to end my fast on a great note.
Here's the Master Fast - No food. A lemonade type drink using Grade B Organix Maple Syrup (you can substitute organic Agave Nectar if you like - I think it tastes better and is lower glycemic which is great for diabetics.......also less expensive too,) lemons, and cayenne pepper.
Here's the recipe:
2 Quarts Filtered Water
1 Cup Grade B Organic Maple Syrup or Agave Nectar
1 Cup of Fresh Lemon Juice (usually 5 large lemons)
- Put the water in a pitcher for the fridge.
- Squeeze the lemon juice and pour in water.
- Measure 1 cup of sweetner and mix in.
- Pinch of organic cayenne pepper (if you don't have organic, its fine)
- Stir really well and keep cold.
This is your days allotment. Make sure you drink it all each day, making a new batch each day.
Pretty simple, but very effective. The lemon is a real boost for cleansing your liver. The cayenne pepper helps with your metabolism. The Grade B maple syrup gives you the nutrition you need. We aren't talking Aunt Jemina syrup here, Ladies. Don't use that. Google Master Cleanse and you will see so many great sites. I am using a pre-prepared formula, but I imagine the freshly made is much better!
This is the only thing you eat or drink during your fasting time. You are to also use a herbal tea laxative or the sea salt water flush. I'm going to start with the salt water flush and see if I can tolerate it today. If not, then I will go the tea route. You need to remove the toxin waste from your body that the cleanser will bring and so this part of the plan is vital.
Sea Salt Flush Recipe:
- 2 teaspoons Organic non-iodized Sea Salt
- Large Glass of water, Can be warm.... (up to 16 oz, less is better if you can stand it)
- Mix and drink at one sitting
- Expect "results" in about 30 min. to an hour. Make sure you have another hour at home or
somewhere a restroom is available for the next hour. (Truly important. You will see why. :-)
People report not only weight loss, but softer skin, clearer thinking, power over cravings and an over all boost to health. This is a wonderful way to kick start a healthier nutrition plan.
I have a problem with sugar cravings. I've gotten off all sugar at one point, but I could never seem to stay off of it. One little indulgence of temptation would always put me back in sugar chains. The other night as I prayed, no more specifically, cried out to God for help with this sugar addiction in my life, He led me to this detox plan. I'm pretty well detoxed right now except for I still have incredible cravings for sugar and not only visions of sugar plums are "dancing in my head", but chocolate mousse cake, creme brulee, Krispy Kreme bread pudding (Paula Dean recipe, THE BEST!), rice krispy treats, cherry cobbler, ice cream......oh my goodness......that is what has been calling my name like a siren on a far way shore to a lonely sailor. But, I do think this will help me today.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks for being with me on this journey. It's been glorious and it's been horrible. It has produced result in regards to my prayers and it has changed my heart. God dug out alot of hurt and pain deep in my heart I thought was already healed. It wasn't, but I am better now and working on it.
Most importantly, I can now help others through this journey. I will support anyone that prays and feels God is calling them to a prolonged fast. Just write me at porschemom3@aol.com and let me know. I am praying for you all as we get ready for Thanksgiving week. Are your menus planned?
Love to you all in Christ,
Karen
What awaits me in heaven! :-)
It is paradise, isn't it? Then
cupcakes will be there, Girls!
