I totally agree with you Andrew but I'm allergic to chlorine! yuck
I took my measurements today... released 5.5" and 11 pounds since starting my water fast (i'm on day three) and green-smoothe feast 15 days ago! (all we consume is green smoothies of different greens each day) I plan on continuing with my water fast for up to 10 days and then going back to green smoothies to complete our 30 day feast. IF I continued to release my weight at the same rate... I'll be down to a wonderful 174 pounds (current weight 185) - but honestly I'm doing this for the health benefits the weight release is simply icing on the cake!!!
I am not at all concerned about gaining any of it back, since I eat only raw foods anyway... there's nothing in my diet to cause weight gain! Yipppeeee I can feel how happy my organs and blood are!
BTW, I don't know if I shared this with you all. Last year at this time my liver was in bad shape. My doctor told me that it was in the condition of someone who drank heavily for 50 years!!! I just got my test results back and now my liver is working ABOVE optimum!!! Yup you read that right! He considers me no longer a diabetic, my cholesterol which was really high is now perfectHe is so proud of me... he couldn't sit down he was so excited sharing my results with me! He told me to keep eating raw and exercising (I work out daily at the gym... and do weight max 3 times a week, with 2-3 yoga classes a week as well)... it's working folks!!!
So as of today... I've released 80 pounds since August 2007!!!
