This is very easy to do and is a good soup for the program. On a fast you can have anything liquid, ie soups, smoothies, herbal teas, juices, spring water (preferably). And so I looked for a chickpea soup I could cook for protein and guess what? There were none. And so I created this soup that would fit into the program and be filling. Ingredients:
2 cups of chickpeas
1 small zucchini
1 bell pepper
1 small onion
Water
Seasoning of your choice
Directions: Put everything in a pot and cook on medium heat until the veggies are aldente. Once the soup and veggies are ready take a multi-quick hand blender and blend well. It is easiest that way and enjoy. This will make enough soup for several days.
Day 2 of my 40 day fast. When I first started this fast it was
because I was near death, so I felt. Today I feel hope. As I write
tears in my eyes because I was so sick yesterday. I knew at midnight
the night before I had to do something. So quickly jumped in. Yesterday was very very hard on me. I was so weak that I could barely
feed my cats but I survived. IN the evening was so hungry that I could
not sleep and remembered I had some frozen fresh orange juice in the
freezer. So I took out one small pack and added water to it and drank
that. It revived me. I spent my day watching Dr. Sebi on his
views on fasting. He talked of how he fasted and took the Green Food
Plus, water and juice. He also said he was given a bag of herbs to make
tea with and did not know what the herbs were. He said he drank 3 cups
a day. After 29 days his diabetes was gone. After 54 days he
could have sex with his wife and he had been impotent since age 30. He
talked of sex much which did embarrass me I have to admit. But I
took from the video the good points and the enjoyment he had. He told
of his mother losing a long chain of mucus after 57 days. Sort of like a
snake that was surrounding her colon and he talked about the woman who
saw God after 40 days and he said after 90 days you will see much. Your brain is clear and you heart is pure. I stayed in bed much and turned on the videos to learn what I could. Just as he said, you would wake up and feel a spark. I woke up today
and was not weak at all and felt good. I could walk better and had less
edema. I was able to go visit my neighbor and take her the curtains
she wanted. After sitting awhile I became tired and so came home.
My original thought was to fast 40 days but now I am thinking 50 or
more. It appears people had major changes at around 57 days. One
woman with MS fasted 131 days and she could run by the end where
originally she could not walk and she drank green smoothies a lot with
the herbs, tea and supplements. I think a fast is what you want
to do. The ideal is to get off of food. What I did yesterday was give
tons of food out of my home and so I have no temptations. Things I
noticed today is that I felt more at peace and calmer. First day I
weighed an awful 248 pounds and I have lost 27 pounds before that.
Waist is 41 inches and blood pressure is 130/80. So in the days to come
will chart my weight and results so others can see what is possible. Today I weighed and the scale showed 245.5 and my blood pressure dropped to 117/78. My neighbors tried to get me to eat and I refused and she wanted to
serve me coffee without sugar and I refused also. It is important to
stay strong as giving in once can end your fast as you will be more
tempted tomorrow. People who want to live and live well fast. I
know when my pak from Sharon arrives from the UK I will be in better
shape as I ordered the iron plus and the sea moss plus and some herbs
too. One of the things I was concerned with is that I am very acidic
with a PH of 5.5 and so I have a lot of work to do. I plan on ordering
more things next week when I get paid such as the green foods which Dr.
Sebi took and the reviews are great. One that I noticed was a woman
with edema lost this and recovered. I have severe edema from my disabled
knee from last year. I am sure there are hundreds in my same shape and maybe too shy to say so but there is hope.
Today I began my fast. I have to admit that I am both frightened and excited. People who have gained as much weight as I have must love food and I do. I am an over eater and my body is acidic. I ordered PH strips from the US and my body showed I have a PH of 5.5. Death in other words. I have had cancer twice and 3 strokes and no one can find out why. I do not smoke, drink or have high blood pressure. I do not have diabetes either. I had my blood tests done and I have the blood of a 20 year old woman. My cholesterol is 66, triglycerides are 100 and my HDL is 65 and LDL is 100. I do have cipro poisoning. This was caused from an antibiotic called Cipro which the FDA now has a warning out that doctors should not prescribe this antibiotic unless no other solution is available as the side effects are major and life threatening. My second stroke was caused by Cipro and possibly the 3rd also. Since my 3rd stroke happened I have been very sick and daily getting worse. I have a broken cartilage in my left knee and the water retention and fluid are getting worse daily. After talking to Sharon Herbalist Ross about my PH and condition, she said I must fast. I was going to put it off for a week or so and begin with the Islamic Community with our yearly fast on the 1st day Of Hijjah (month of the pilgrimage) but I could not wait as my condition deteriorated.
So since midnight of last night I have not had any food. I found that this morning the swelling in my knee was better and I could walk better. I felt ok and better than yesterday. My beginning weight is 248 and my waist is 41. All this means death. So my goal weight is 185 and my waist must be 34 or less. Dr. Oz stated that when a woman's waist gets over 34 they are subject to cancer. I am ashamed I let myself get so fat but when I became disabled last July 2015 from my broken knee and became housebound I could not walk or exercise. I have been disabled for over 1 year and my goal is to be able to walk again. I saw a You Tube Video where a woman could walk after fasting 1 day with the recommended Dr. Sebi herbal teas and supplements and she inspired me. She fasted 131 days and by the end could run and was so energized. See the video below.
So just made me my morning smoothie which has prickly pear, walnuts, sea moss, cayenne, some green powder and some frozen fruits. It was so filling I could hardly move. Will drink lots of herbal teas today. I have lots of water from the zam zam well in Saudi Arabia and Evian water too. So will report tomorrow on how I did today. Stay Healthy My friends.
