We started a liquid fast today as W. mentioned in her first post, the first day for me is always the easiest and the third is the hardest but after that it gets easy again.
The rules of our fast are as follows:
Coffee and tea are allowed with no more than 2 tsps of sugar (if needed) {32cals} and 2 tbsps of low fat milk {about 40 cals} instead of creamer (again, only if needed)
A maximum of 100 liquid cals a day only.
Water is very important of course in a liquid fast, it's vital to keep hydrated to avoid as much damage as possible during long term fasts or restrictions.
So about 6-8 (but not limited to, more if possible is great) 8oz glasses of water spaced out throughout the day as not to consume it all at once causing bloating and water retention.
My intake today:
1/2 cup black coffee
Sugarfree gum.
5 glasses of water (so far.)
I already feel purer, stronger and calm.
I hope tomorrow goes as well.
