You don't need to fast to clense your body ..........................we have organs that do that for us!!!

You mention you don't have time for breakfast in the mornings. Have you tried making meals for the week? I usually do mine on Monday's since trash day is Tuesday. That means cooking and freezing food into single servings. I too am a picky eater. Due to allergies I am can't have soy, gluten, dairy or seafood. I'm also a vegetarian. if I don't plan, I don't eat properly. A healthier substitute for your toast might be whole grain blueberry waffles. if you don't have a waffle maker, you can buy the store bought kind.

However, you have been doing good so far this may just be a minor set back. keep up the good work.

No we don't have a waffle maker, but there were some decent blueberry wafflles that were frozen from walmart, I used to get them but wasn't sure how well they were for me.. I may try them again.. and add some fresh fruit.

I'm going to the store today or tomorrow and I'm going to have a looksy and see if there is anything cheap that is also healthier than toast and quick.. it's so hard to plan.. to get something cheap, quick and healthy!

So when you DO eat, it's going to be hard to just take in the reasonable amount of calories your body needs without going overboard.

in my experience, rather the opposite: if you fast regularly or intermittently, it might even be difficult to get to the full amount of calories when you break a fast. this is because your stomach shrinks when you don't fill it continually.

of course i'm not talking here about a situation when you're fasting because you're ill: in that case, other processes have been at work, like having a fever, which is hard work, physically speaking.

cleansing indeed is not something a fast will accomplish, but it will strengthen your cells' repair mechanisms. being constantly fed shifts the balance to cell reproduction.
