How To Handle Hunger On A Fasting Day
Blog Article
Ive been fasting today. I do it four times a month and am seldom bothered by hunger (Ill explain why later). But today was different and in the afternoon at around 5.00 PM I had demon hunger and couldnt concentrate on some computer work that I was doing. I really felt like eating something!
I contemplated taking some fruit, which is generally a good idea whenever you are in this kind of predicament. For example, suppose you are trying to lose weight by cutting down on high calorie snacks in-between meals, and all of a sudden you get the munchies well if you eat an apple or some other fruit it sometimes does the trick 정선한국마사지 and your hunger is gone.
But instead of grabbing an apple, I resorted to a yogi trick, I drank 서대문왁싱 two glasses of lemon water. I made it by squeezing lemon into the glass and adding a bit of salt and water. This lemon water drink is great for giving strength and it also works to allay the hunger. I drank and then went back to work (which includes typing this blog entry). So if you really want to stick to your fast, before you to for fruit, try the lemon water.
And remember one thing: you will not go to hell if you take some lemon water or eat a fruit. Fasting is not a religious act (though it has value if you use the time that you save from shopping, cooking and cleaning and do something spiritual during the gained time). Fasting will help you to maintain your health, so do your best to do it regularly (twice a month is great).
Now, I promised to tell you how I usually avoid hunger altogether on the fasting day, so I will do 강릉왁싱 it. Before you begin a fast you have to prepare yourself physically, and most important mentally.
Lets start with mental preparation. The night before the day when you will be fasting you have to remember that tomorrow is the fasting day and set your mind to it. Its final, tomorrow you are fasting. If you have this kind of determination, then your desire to eat will not even start working on the day of fasting. It just shuts down. It 김천스웨디시 is amazing but it is true.
If you dont make this kind of mental preparation then when you wake up you will be thinking of breakfast or of eating sometime. If you decide to fast right then, on the spot, you will also think about why it might be good to eat (you can always find a reason!). And in the midst of this quivering mind-set hunger usually wins the day! So make up your mind the night before and you will be surprised at how helpful it is.
Second, and this is why I was hungry today, prepare yourself physically. The day before the fast make sure that you get enough liquids and also enough calories. My meals yesterday must have been too skimpy and that is why I got hungry. In any case the day is almost over and tomorrow I will dig into some yogurt and fruit!
