Re: fast
In Response To: fast ()

Hi Nora
Fasting is not a good idea for sugar sensitive people. When you fast, your blood sugar crashes, then your liver releases stored sugar into the blood stream, and your body gets flooded with beta endorphin to cushion you from the pain. Then when you go into the withdrawal from the beta endorphin, you will get cravings, have mood swings, depression etc. So it really sets off a while biochemical reaction that is not at all pleasant.

I don't know if you are fasting for religious reasons, or for other reasons, but what some people do, if they had been fasting for religious reasons, is to give up something else, like watching TV, and use that time to meditate or contemplate
