Hi there
Just wondering if anyone has had the experience of fainting or maybe just feeling odd after 1 day on the apple fast?
I have been going really well on the NSD but still have quite a bit on niggling pain in my neck & shoulder joints.
After reading many posts about others successes on the apple fast I though I would give it a go. I had planed to fast for 3 days and after one good day on apples and organic apple juice I felt fine and was looking forward to the next day.
However the second morning I got out of bed, went to the kitchen to have a drink of water, felt a little odd so went to the bathroom called out to my husband, sat on the loo and fainted. The next thing I know I am in a funny postion draped over the bath and not able to move for a few seconds....which felt more like minutes! It was a bit like waking up from an anestetic after having surgery, quite weird.
The only thing I can think of is that because it was a Saturday morning and I was watching the Rugby World Cup Enlgand v Tonga....a small pacific nation...and procrastinating about getting out of bed, I may have just left it too late to get up and eat, albeit only apples?
Copnsequently My husband made me an omelete and my fast finished There and then.
I am still convinced that it must be good for you as once I had fully recovered, about 3 hours, I had the most amazing amount of energy which continued for the whole week-end. My hubby seems to think I had a knock on the head on the way down, that turned me into super wife!!! I was like a clock that had just been fully wound up!
I plan to keep to a 1 day apple fast once a week just for now.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Andrea
