Day 6 of 10 day fast & cleanse

I haven't eaten a single bite of solid food since last Thursday around Mindnight, part of a "Master Cleanse" program.

I had this vision of barely being able to get out of bed...perhaps someone dabbing my cracked lips with a wet cloth. So dramatic.

The reality is quite the opposite. I have regular to above average energy levels. I'm able to focus intensely on both work and outside creative endeavors.

The urge to eat does become overwhelming at times. You don't realize how integrated into our social pattern eating is...it is part of the rhythm of our days and not having it creates a strong sense of something missing.

Overall, this has been incredibly positive so far, both mentally and physically.

I will be writing a more detailed piece on the experience when it is all over.
