Dust and Ashes
6th February 2005, 06:30 PM
A few years back, my wife and I sold a particular brand of nutritional products. We eventually got out of the business because we are just not good at sales and couldn't afford them without the wholesale discount. Anyway, since I started my new job, we can afford them again so we have just started back taking them.
How does this relate to fasting?
Well, when I was taking them before, I never ran out of natural energy, I never got sick, I never had any cravings whatsoever and I never got hungry. I would take the nutritional complex with a couple slices of toast and a glass of milk every morning, then late afternoon or early evening, I'd eat a couple slices of bread to stop my stomach from growling. Otherwise, I didn't want anything to eat as my body always felt satisfied nutritionally. Heck, I even had warts shrink and vanish while taking them.
Since this will be our first real fast, we are already looking at what we can and can't have and working out shopping lists, recipes, etc but I don't think it will be a big deal for me as my appetite is already fading and I am mostly eating out of habit now anyway.
I guess my question is, if these supplements make the fast "easy" for me, should I then fast something else to keep the spirit of the fast or what? I'm thinking of fasting video games since they are one of my chief time wasters.
