Now, enjoy our conversation on the benefits of fasting:
SR: Have you fasted before?
JS: Yes, I've fasted many times, and for many different reasons.
SR: If so, why did you fast?
JS: I mainly choose to fast because optimal health is important to me.
Plus, I am always looking for ways to improve my health and grow as a person.
SR: How long did you fast?
JS: So, I have done several fasts. However, the longest stint was for 21 days.
SR: What was the biggest benefit of your fast?
JS: The biggest benefit from fasting besides the loss of weight and elimination of waste, was experiencing calmness and a reduction in my food cravings.
SR: What was the biggest challenge during your fast?
JS: The biggest challenge was wanting to break my fast because of food that I wanted to try or if I just wanted to eat when spending time with family.
SR: What do you think is the biggest misconception people have about fasting?
JS: I think the biggest misconception people have about fasting is that you are going to be angry and hungry the entire time. That is not true. The truth is the more you develop the discipline to fast, the easier the process becomes, and the less you experience cravings. Making fasting part of your lifestyle, mindfulness and calmness will come naturally.
I'm so proud to call this woman my friend. I hope you all enjoyed this brief conversation.
