    I used to brew kombucha, and I always used the organic cane, which was definitely not white. It worked perfectly fine! My discs always got nice and thick, and I let mine ferment for a really long time, both with the first and second fermentation, so there was barely any sugar. I prefer that because I like the vinegary taste. You're making me want to start back up. I definitely saw results drinking it daily. My immune system improved dramatically!

    Wow @brittdee88 thanks so much for your feedback! I have only bought 3 bottles of kombucha so far so I haven´t yet felt all the benefits I am sure it has!!! but having had poor intestinal health I can´t wait for it to help me out in my OMAD window. Would you recommend taking it before the meal or afterwards?...

    Also I am going to get into making kimchi and other fermented veggies... can´t find a korean restaurant nearby to try it out so will have to see how I go by myself...LOL

    I drank it in the morning on an empty stomach, so it would probably be best before the meal!

    Total lost 17lbs since 20th june!!!
    hurrey guys!!!

    I am on hour 41 of a 48h hours fast... my first one! I have gone to the toilet much frequently in this longer fast, and have experience detox symptoms which freaked me out a bit and Sandy had to rescue my hipocondriac mind LOL...

    I felt expulsion of liquids or something from somewhere either liver or gall bladder.
    it was really interesting to feel the body. Got the ketosis bad breath stuff the metalic sense and my sense of smell which normally is zero to a high degree of refinement I could smell a non sweetened jelly that my husband was eating wow... the senses do get heightened with fasting...

    Well done on your loss, Barbara! Have been scrolling off and on all day trying to see where you posted that info... my eyes automatically kept seeing that you made it through the fast but not the loss report until now. Lolol

    As you lose (esepcially the more you lose), your body is getting rid of all sorts of stuff. Can make you feel bad sometimes, but it's all part of the process.

    Love you guys I am so happy to be here sharing the journey with you!
    thanks so much for the encouragements!!
    Joe I follow you on Youtube love your videos you are shinning bright and clear helping people beyond OMAD with your seeds of wisdom! carry on!

    I am experiencing greater appetite correction after this 48 fast! Yes Sandy I stopped at 48h
    2 days after the longer fast I felt fantastic, indeed Joe I sensed I started detoxing in a greater extent and it does make you feel wierd but thats ok for the sake of healing!

    Plan to do another 48h soon as its helping me enter this detox zone more...

    My meal today fits in one plate but for the purpose of esthetics I separated it LOL!

    In the end I listen to some carb cravings and I prepared 2 sandwiches of smoked salmon and butter with a saladad that had: lettuce, onion, cheese, white beans, chia seeds, acv, olive oil and oregano.
    t´was yummie, yummie by my first sandwhich I could hardly continue...by the end of my second and half of the salad it was a struggle ...
    I went straight into a siesta/nap its quite horridly warm here today...

    Sandy...no liking the image LOL!

    Brenda it was!!! its some sort of whole grain bread with "mother" whatever that is. Yummie, I am 7h 22 min after this meal and I am not hungry in the least, so fulfilling!!! The smoked salmon helped a lot with its healthy fat!
