We woke on day four with serious concerns about our mutual back pain; were we actually doing damage to ourselves?
Days two and three were very similar. Random hungriness, but manageable. We tried to avoid talking about food as much as possible. We drank as much as possible, but strangely the water seemed to be causing acid reflux and indigestion.
We woke on day four with serious concerns about our mutual back pain; were we actually doing damage to ourselves as opposed to gaining all our hoped-for health benefits? This day ended up being one of our longer ones, since the end was in sight. We found ourselves talking more about the foods we were going to eat, which only added to our misery.
It turned out to be a hideous experience and I'm sure neither of us will ever look at broth in the same way. By the end of the day, both of us were back to regular meals, but our desire for coffee hadn't returned and I found myself avoiding my normal candy treats. I would estimate that I lost about 5 pounds through the fast. I don't think Julie lost any as she was already following a very strict diet.
We didn't do a good job the first couple of days. We drank, on average, six ounces of water per hour on the first day, and then increased to 12 ounces on days two and three, when we were home. After doing some research, we increased to 32 ounces per hour on days four and five.
