Day 3: This is the day you've been waiting for!

What to expect:
Day 3 is when your body becomes a furnace; burning off your fat, old scar tissue, and dead cells that junk up your body! Yay for eliminating toxins!!
As this switch occurs, your hunger should subside but may become psychological- so stay strong!

Days 3-7 are the most cleansing days, so let that be your motivation. Weigh-in often (if weight loss is your goal), note the mucus being purged from your body (in your urine, from your sinuses, or even coming out of your pores). This is a great sign of detoxing!

My sidebar:
I'm expecting a rash breakout within the next few days. My previous 8-day fast was most cleansing on days 4-5, so I'm waiting to see what my body decides to do this time. Overall, I feel much more energetic than I did my previous fast (I didn't believe I would be one of those people who found fasting becomes easier, but I'm a believer now)! I feel elated and happy most of the time, even though I am constantly fantasizing about food. I couldn't sleep last night from 1am to 6am, so I spent that time creating an in-depth menu of how I'm going to break my fast. I'm very excited about it!
