Well.. So far so good.. Which is not surprising as it is just 11:00 in the morning. I had my last meal last night about 19:00 I think.. Kveta juiced up some apples and oranges, and we had a glass each.

We have both decided to fast for 3 days or so, and then move on to a mono orange juice diet. For no fixed length of time, just until we decide to stop, is all.

Anyhow, today being Friday, my body is already used to skipping meals on this day, as I have been doing so pretty consistently for some years now, so somehow it doesn't really start getting hungry until Saturday morning, so I foresee no difficulties for today.

Apart from oranges and a few apples, the flat is already void of fruit.

Well.. went to bed just before 22:00, and just before entering the bedroom, I smelled the delicious scent of apples from the few we have left lieing on the table.. Strangely enough, I didn't feel hungry.

Neither did I drink anything all day, as no real thirst was present.

But I did have a nice hot relaxing bath in the afternoon while Kveta was out. Delicious, especially considering the cool temperatures..

I had one small bowel movement in the morning, and another prior to sleeping.

This is the first day that I have been there while Kveta fasts, and besides from mum, the first person who I have spent the day with while we both fasted..

Today is first day of a new month

Interesting is that last time when i began fasting was also first day of month. well, when i was reading in anne's diary about her orange juice days i thought hmmm...that is what i want to do especially with someone,so i said to anne, i wish i were there with you and mango read it and he said let's do it together i said yes.

he said let's do in friday on my day fast, fast for few days and then go on raw fresh orange juice...so we are doing it.

soon after i wake up i had hot bath followed by freezing cold shower and i was out the door in no time i drove to see a i spend with her almost whole day, we went for bit of shopping, we had good time.

from 4pm i spend all night with sweet mango, we had nice relaxing time...later on some tv..holding hands..

mango went sleep before 10pm i was reading writing...

i am happy and content, mango is sweet friend

funny enough i did not feel hungry, i really wanted to fast, i felt like i had enough food for some time...timing is just amazing, i love it when magic happens..

at morning elimination normal, late at nigh wee..

i feel as usual, happy that i was not and i am not hungry. i am not thirsty. i feel blessed. life is magic....wow.. life is adventure..

my skin is already feel better, more moist...

It's just 07:30.. Awoke about an hour ago, feeling refreshed and ready for the day. Slight feeling of dryness in my mouth, but otherwise no real hunger present.. Kveta is peacefully sleeping, snuggled up in bed comfortably.

Normally, when I wake up Saturday mornings after fasting on Friday, I might get up, and check my email, while eating an orange.. I guess I do this more to get rid of that slight dryness that I normally feel. However, today I have decided to persue the dry fast a while longer, until such point when I really feel I need to drink something.

I will shortly clean my teeth though, as my mouth feels like it needs a clean. I'm using a toothpaste based on Aloe Vera.. Apart from toothpaste, which I use only once a week or less, I do not use any other form of cleansing solution.. no shampoos, soaps, detergents, sun creams, etc etc..

This is possibly the first time that I have fasted for more than a day since I made myself ill from overeating on nuts (that was while I was working nights at the post office during the cold UK Christmas of 2001.. and my consequent illness in February of 2002).

Later..

Had a nice bath today, followed by a snuggle in bed, and a lazy hour or so this afternoon, outside lieing on in the sunshine. Slept some, and awoke feeling envigoured.

No real detoxing has kicked in yet, and apart from a slight feeling of lightheadedness, feel pretty much like always, with no great desire for food (although, if I think of orange juice, my body reacts eagerly to the thoughts, with a slight urging toward them.. Nothing that can't wait, or be distracted with other things though)..

Just one little wee today, and no bowel movement, but I suspect there'll be one sooner or later again.

dear sunflowers,

TODAY IS MY SECOND DRY FAST DAY

i slept in a bit till 10am feeling as usual. elimination: i felt clean/skin, teeth, tongue../ i had tiny poo and little bit of wee...

i had long hot bath and after short freezing shower, later on in the day me and mango went to get some sunshine sun was lovely and warm we both lie down on huge contrite bench and we both had sweet nap...we got up at same time and went back in shoebox, i was on ph with friend and i find out i had very poor concentration, my mind was wondering i even do not know where.

i feel bit spaced out since but i fully enjoy it, i fee comfortably numb, and i was feeling later at night like i like to experience some fruit taste but i was not hungry

no hungry or thirsty the whole day...it feels awesome to fast without such sensations.

this morning i had 49.2 kg

my skin feels even better than yesterday, i feel the moisture...sensations of touch increased. holding hands with mango is more magic

i clean my teeth in the bath in the morning and my mouth & tongue are still feel very clean,

and no more elimination the whole day & night...i like it when i do not need go to toilet.

i am not as cold as i use to be when fasting. this is happened to me first time on my last fast in last month.

it seem to me me & mango are on the same wavelength...i like to fast with him

life is sweet,

love all, kveta

I sat up and watched "Shrek 1" on TV last night.. Great movie.. Kveta disappeared sleepily at about 21:00.. I was suprisingly unsleepy until after the movie was done at 22:30.. Usually it is Kveta who stays up latest, as I tend to get drowsy from 20:30 onwards, and I guess I've always slept a lot more than everyone else appears to.

Anyhow, I awoke this morning just before 08:00, Kveta had already been up since 6 something. And first thing I did was checked my weight.. It appears I have lost 2.2 kgs, since yesterday morning.. Hey, I guess that makes me the biggest looser for today! (Have you ever seen that TV show? - If only those poor guys realised just how easy it is to loose weight!).. I recall I did a 10 day fast once in the 1990s, and lost 10 kgs..

Anyhow, this morning, I have a slight feeling of cakey dryness in my mouth once more. Kveta tells me my tongue is pink, but I just checked it in the mirror, and it does look slightly coated toward the back.

Overall, apart from feeling slightly lighter than usual, I don't otherwise really feel much different to normal, my energy levels appear to be about the same, as does my concentration. There is no great hunger present, but a slight thirst.. Interesting is though, that I felt the same thirst yesterday morning, but as the day got started, it sort of disappeared.. I am still dry fasting, so up until now, no water taken.

Oh, almost forgot, immediatly after awakening, prior to doing the weigh in thing, I had a little inoffensive poo, and wee tiny wee.

Later..

I started feeling pretty restless around 13:00. Kveta was asleep in bed, so I decided to go out for a walk..

Went down to the sea for a paddle a bit. Certainly didn't consider swimming as an option as water too cold, or maybe it is because I was feeling more temperature sensitive.

Anyhow, hung out there for a bit, just sitting watching the sea.. and thinking of fresh orange juice, then walked home..

I was feeling pretty weak when I got home, and I told Kveta that I had been thinking about orange juice, and it turned out she had been thinking the same thing. So, well, we had decided to be flexible about the fasting, and just break it when we felt the urge to, with no particular attachment to it being 3 days, so we easily convinced each other to go for it.

About 14:30 I juiced up one orange for Kveta, and 2 for myself.. Wow.. so sweet and yummy! So shortly after, still unsatisfied, I juiced us up 4 oranges each, and we sat and enjoyed them together.

So clearly, we never did 3 whole days dry fasting, but by my reckoning I think I did 67 hours... The longest I have gone dry fasting was 72 hours. I think I wrote up about it here.

At 16:30, Kveta brought me in another glass of orange juice.. I was sitting in bed, playing with my website. Inspired by our short fast, I've been slowly updating my section on Breatharians .. not yet finished though,as many links are broken in it, and some information outdated...

..Later.. (It's early next morning at time of writing!)

We enjoyed the juice of 4 more oranges between the hours of 18:30 and 20:00. I went to bed shortly after 20:30, leaving Kveta sitting up and writing her own log of the events. I didn't feel even the slightest bit hungry or thirsty, and fell almost immediatly into a nice relaxing sleep.

I'd just like to also add, that after the initial feeling of "wow sweetness" I got from breaking the fast on Orange juice, I later started to wonder whether the oranges we have are fully ripe..

To me, although they are definitely nectary, and I am still enjoying them, I feel they also have a slight acidic taste to them, which makes me wonder whether they could be better still.. hmmm?

I must say, that overall, from the fast and consequent breaking of it on orange juice, I find it difficult to notice how my body must have benefitted.. because I surely know that it did, that it has. Every fast is beneficial, just I do not noticeably feel more energetic, more clear, more clean.

I think I definitely need to undertake a longer fast.. But that'll have to wait, as I'm not keen to do one in Sydney.. I need to be out in a more natural setting, and have ready access to more sunlight and more privacy (for naturism practice), and cleaner air, and flowing fresh water to bathe in..

Dream on Mango!

A quick summary:

Today, I drank the juice of 14 Oranges. I believe Kveta had about the same, possibly 1 more as she drank another after I went to bed.

last night i went sleep at 9pm and i slept till 6am and i was giggling a lot on and of feeling light and happy,i did not noticed any detox happening, but i got very sleepy after 10am and i slept on and off till 2pm. i sleep a lot when my body is healing, so i assumed that some serious healing of my spinal injury is in progress.

not long after mango come back form beach and we both did agree we are ready to drink orange juice.

so mango made for me one orange orange juice, but soon after 4dl of fresh orange juice and from then every hour or bit more another orange juice...mango think oranges are bit sour, i think they are very yummy!

it was awesome to taste yummy orange juice again.

in the morning there was tiny bit of wee, and not long after firs one orange juice i had little poo and wee..

after first orange juice one orange juice i felt the life and energy entering my whole being. i love to drink life.

i had also nice hot bath and after very buzzy cold shower.

wow, i like to say that in last few days i am getting some awesome healing sensations in my legs, mango is now healing them daily. tonight bit after 10pm i felt beautiful warmth in both my feet and half hour later the warmth is traveling up now it is all the way to my knees...it feels so amazing, i also now getting strong healing sensations in my right leg.

i believe my last month and this month of fasting was/is helping with healing. i am looking so much now for orange juice days, i love orange juice and i wonder for how long i am going to be satisfied with just orange juice. i do not make any planes, i will just listen & follow myself.

i was always big on drinking orange juice, i cannot imagine to live without them, i eat very rare oranges i love to drink them.

i love to eat magic durian. sweet durian, and sweet oranges is the only fruit i was dreaming of at times while fasting...wow now i have yummy oranges, and i know there are some durians somewhere in near future...what a treat to look forward...yum, yum, yum i so love sweet & creamy durian.

for now i am very happy to enjoy fresh raw orange juice. i always drink juices straight after they were made. i would not and i did never drink juice from bottle or box, nothing can beat fresh raw fruit juice. i think if i live in tropical fruit paradise with abundance of fruit i will drink only juices from all juicy fruit. i love fruit juices. i always feel more power from them. i am thinking i may go only juicy for some time and eat only durian.

now is season of apples and me and mango like them juiced i use to juice them with oranges, but mango told me last time that he prefer just orange or just apple juice. i said ok. but for myself i like to at times make orange apple juice as i love it.

i was fruitarian for some time, when i discovered orange apple juice and i was so in love with the taste of it i drank orange apple twice or more a day, i also blended peeled apples with orange juice, or oranges, i grated apples and i poured over them orange juice...i did not want any other fruit than apples or oringes for while...i lived on stereo diet..

i use to be mono a lot on watermelons, when in season and very cheap and sweet...i would by 10 -12 ks at time and i would eat and drink them daily fully enjoying them. i find them more cleansing than oranges.

same with mighty grapes, i find them most powerful and i can be on them for longest time, i can drink them for ages and i do not crave other fruits, that is why i do mono, i just feel like it. when are grapes in full season i get them by box..yum

i was also mono on passion fruit and that was also awesome a pretty powerful. i lived in middle of nowhere and i was harvesting passion fruit by boxes daily, they were so yummy, i just ate them and i did not have to worry how i get in the shop, i was happy just stay where i am i magic garden and very simple house....i just moved to western australia, about 20y ago.

i never give much thought about mono eating before but when i hear more often other talking about it, and then after mono discussion with mango, i gave it more deep thought, and i discovered that i am naturally often raw fresh fruit mono eater and when i look back, i could see that yes, on mono i felt much better. for me mono eating is not only eat/drink one kind of fruit at meal time, but also eat/drink one kind of fruit for same days...months...

hallelujah to all fruit!!! and air. i so enjoyed my 2 and 1/2 day dry fast. i so enjoyed all orange juice i drunk the rest of the day & night.

i am happy i can share my fruity days with sweet mango.

our first dry fast was awesome. i am looking already forward to next one.

as far fruit & fast did not failed me. they make my life very satisfying. fruit & fast satisfy my soul.

i am so happy to see they are other happy fruitlings in this world.

life is sweet,

love,
kveta

Well, that's curious, I just weighed myself, and notice that I have gained weight since yesterday morning.. Only 200 grams though.. I suppose that is perfectly normal, and is mostly all fluid retention, as I was dry fasting up until the orange juice... Besides, to be honest, I am not too sure about the scales.. they tend to fluctuate too much for my liking, so probably none of the weights quoted are entirely accurate.

Anyhow, this morning I am feeling a little irritable. Possibly (probably) a slight mental detox. Kveta has already left the flat as I'm too difficult to be around at the moment, which I'm appreciating as I needed some alone space.

We are not the only ones doing an orange juice thing.. Fruitbat Anne has already been on just orange juice for over 2 weeks now.. Her journal of it is kept here:

Anne's Orange Juice Diary Part 1 and
Anne's Orange Juice Diary Part 2.

And possibly more people.. Just signup at the Fruit Revolution Forum, and see other fruitarians doing similar stuff. (Kveta keeps her online journal there).

Later.. After Kveta got back..

We went out and got more oranges today. Some big navels.. The juice of one of them almost enough to fill a glass.

Kveta got a present from Jules today. Very very sweet of her. Hilton Hotemas "Man's Higher Consciousness".. I have just been reading a passage to her about a girl who is cured of her malady by drinking orange juice. Nice story.

In the afternoon, after the 2nd bowel movement of the day, I started thinking about the fiber in the oranges, much of which is going in to the juice.. Also, while we were out earlier, I ate one orange, and swallowed everything, juice and all.. - Kveta also ate one, but unlike me, she managed to just suck out the juice and spit out what didn't melt in her mouth..

Anyhow.. I started thinking that I would like to give my bowels a break, so I suggested to Kveta that we start filtering the juice.

Well, it turned out again, that she had been thinking exactly the same thing, so we decided together, that from now on, we will be just drinking the juice..

dear fruitlings,

today was another beautiful sunny winter day. first full day on raw fresh orange juice. me & mango.

in the morning soon after i wake up i left see a, we had great time. mango was in his own world, and he wanted be alone. that is ok with me. i arrived back at 1:30 mango was happy to see me, and he made for us orange juice 4dl and it was my breakfast. from then on we were drinking about about 5 glasses throughout the rest of the day and night.

we went to post office to pick up big surprise & beautiful birthday present from sweet julie. and it made me very happy and it also made me cry...i was truly moved. thankyou so much dear julie.

and i was enjoying looking at all presents from julie and mango was driving in the shop to get some more of oranges. and we got bit over 20kg of amazingly beautiful oranges. they are huge juicy fresh and so so yummy. it was like another present from sweet julie.

i also pour raw fresh juice trough a sieve so there are not any little bits and peaces.

i am feeling all day wonderful, i highly enjoying every second of it. i am enjoying sharing orange juices with sweet mango. it is nice to see the changes on him. he just look so more sweet.

no sights of detox, but at times sights of healing. everything is more exciting. my skin is happy.

i had one juice from 2 small oranges 2dl before i went sleep last night.

life is beautiful,

love all,
kveta

A quick summary:

Today Mango drank the juice of 20 Oranges, plus ate 1 whole one.
and Kveta drank the juice of about 14 Oranges, plus ate 1 whole one spitting out what didn't juice in her mouth.

From Tomorrow, we will try and record how much we are drinking in terms of decilitres.

Like I said, I am not too sure about the scales, but it certainly looks like I am not loosing weight at the moment, in fact looks like I have gained another 200 grams.. It will be interesting to see how my weight changes by tomorrow, now that we will just be drinking the juice without fiber..

I awoke this morning at 04:00, and feeling restless and unable to fall back to sleep, I decided to get up and update things here..

Later..

I had one bowel movement today.

Kveta was out most of the morning/afternoon.. At her art class, we had one glass of orange juice before she left (filtered), and I decided to wait until she returned before drinking more.. So at about 15:30 we had our 2nd glass together, and later still, at 18:00 ish, I had my final glass..

I believe Kveta had another small glass later, but I was feeling really sleepy and not very hungry, so I skipped that one.

Went to bed at around 20:30 ..

Still don't feel any real sign of detox. No great hunger, or cravings for any other fruits.. I guess the orange juice must be satisfieing me, although I suspect my body has moved into a sort of hibernation from digestion mode, which is why there is no great hunger present.

DAY 3 ON FRESH ORANGE JUICE:

i wake up before 8am and i had normal poo only much less than usual and big wee..

after 9 a arrived and me mango and a we all had big 4dl glass of raw fresh orange juice...soon after me and a left for hers place and we both were in the same mood and we decided not to go for art group, but spend lazy day together. and day went very fast and we had good time.i arrived back around 4pm and i shared raw fresh orange juice with mango.

now i do not remember how many more juices i was drinking, but i think mango recorded how much he drank, so i had more juice from 3 oranges as i stayed up late.

i felt very giggly at the morning, and very relaxed the whole day. i do not have desire for another fruit or biting in oranges i am very content with just drinking fresh raw orange juice.

i was watching czech movie /rare/ on sbs international tv channel it start at midnight so i end up going sleep at 3am...

Today's Summary:

Mango - 3 orange juices = 3 x 4dl
Kveta - 4 orange juices = 4 x 4dl + juice from one orange.

Well.. I think these electronic scales we have are probably giving more of a true reading for me than for Kveta.. The problem is they don't like movement, and Kveta must balance herself on something before she can stand steady on them. This causes it to give especially false readings on her.. Today it looks like she has gained 1.6 kgs.. This is sureely not correct.

Anyhow, we drove in to Maroubra at midday.. Bought 2 more boxes of oranges, and ummed and arr'd about whether or not to buy some really nice looking papaya that were going for $2 a kilo.. Cheapest price we have seen them here. They looked and smelled very good..

But we resisted temptation, deciding to stick with the orange juice for the time being.

Although I have lost a couple of kilos, give or take, so far, I don't feel like things are much different to always.. I believe energy levels are about normal, but I also think, I am a little more irritable maybe, and sensitive to loud noise and distraction.. I'm requiring to be more by myself, and have less interactions..

I am generally a somewhat sedentary person.. I don't do regular exercises, other than walk, or, of course, swim, if climate is right.. which it isn't at the moment as Sydney winter is upon us.. And I don't walk much as a rule anyhow.. Just back and forth to the car and shops.. I rarely run, and then only if I really need to and not out of any great enthusiastic enjoyment.

I think.. ultimately walking is something I would like to do more of.. And biking again too, would be fun.

DAY 4 ON FRESH ORANGE JUICE:

the knock on the door wake me up, it was 9am and it was my friendly neighbor m and he come to make sure i still want him to fix some stuff on my car, i said yes, today after 2pm.

i had fresh raw orange juice and lovely hot bath and then freezing shower

later me and mango went in next suburb and paid some bills and got 2boxes or oranges, then we had another fresh and raw orange juice

soon after i was out with m whom was fixing a car...till about 4:30 pm and i think i had another raw fresh orange juice bit later and another one much much later around 8:30pm

this morning i had normal elimination only less of poo than yesterday. today i also had bit of poo only few minutes after i finished each glass of orange juice.

i had today very spiced out day, the world seem so distant with its problems and diseases...i am in my own world and i definitely do not fit in this confused world. i perceive myself very alienated. all night very silent.

life is wonderful,

love all, Kveta.

Today's Summary:

Mango - 3 orange juices = 3 x 4dl.
Kveta - 4 orange juices = 4 x 4dl.

Awoke and arose shortly before 07:00 ..

It's 08:30 now, and raining heavily outside, - feels like a thunderstorm is brewing, so I'll not be on much longer in case of lightning..

Feeling good this morning.. positive and alert. Already slightly thirsty/hungry for orange juice, but I'll wait until Kveta is up first, and share one with her.

Had a slight bowel movement and big pee after arising.. And have lost another 200 grams since yesterday morning.

Shared first glass of OJ at 10:35

I feel my face has been slightly itchy today, and my fingers were feeling the cold more than usual.. But it has been colder than normal too.

Later..

Last glass taken at 18:30..

Tomorrow is my fasting day..

Strangely enough, I'm Looking forward to that!

Summary for today:

Mango - 5 glasses of OJ - 5 x 4dl
Kveta - 5 glasses of OJ - 5 x 4dl

DAY 5 ON FRESH ORANGE JUICE:

and it feels like ages. every day i enjoy it more.

i slept from 3am - 10am

elimination normal but small poo and some wee

at 10: 30 i shared orange juice with mango. i had to go have another poo this time some normal some runny orange stuff...same happened after second and third juice after 4th and fifth juice i had to go very soon wee

i think i had today 5 raw fresh magic orange juices. very yummy and always exciting orange juice. i love it.

i am feeling amazing, my skin feels amazing, today lot of giggles.

with raw fresh fruit life is beautiful,

love all,
kveta

OK.. Another trainee breatharian day.. Today is World Cleansing Day.

Despite having not taken anything but fresh orange juice for over a week now, I still feel suprisingly no real hunger.. The occasional thought of food has passed through my head, but nothing that's lasted.. Nothing that has jumped out at me and said I really must eat now.

I was happy to make orange juices for Kveta throughout the day. Giving me something to focus on.

I'm feeling good, though it is a fair bit colder than normal here in Sydney at the moment. Raining all day, and very windy.

I was just thinking about 28 or 29 days I did on fresh fruit juice, back in the 1990s, while living in the Pyranees in France, very close to the Spanish border.. I was juicing whatever fruit I had with one of those excellent champion juicer thingies.. I think it was mostly oranges, apples and pineapple, but definitely other fruits too, like melons, watermelons, papaya maybe, and even avocado mixed with the apples sometimes.. Surprisingly if you pass avocado through the champion together with apples, a few times, then pretty much most of it comes out the juicing bit, making a delicious creamy juice.

Anyhow, I remember when I was doing that thinking that this is nothing like fasting, as I honestly felt I could have continued doing so indefinitly.

This is different though.. Just being on orange juice, I am feeling a lot lighter, and less confident about continuing for a much longer period. I guess I am concerned about my weight loss, although at the moment it is still really not much of an issue, as I am not feeling energy drained, or grossly underweight. Still.. I am being observent of my body, and wondering how it is when one becomes breatharian.. The weight loss must stop at some point, and reach a balance somewhere.. I am wondering if my weight in such a theoretical situation would be around where it is now, or whether it would be more, or less.. Just thoughts..

No bowel movement these past 2 and a half days.

Summary for today:

Mango - zilch. Nought but air.
Kveta - 5 glasses of OJ - 5 x 4dl

DAY 6 ON RAW FRESH ORANGE JUICE

dear fruitlings,

today is friday and mango is fasting, last friday i was also fasting with mango and after 2 and half days on dry fast we had our first orange juice. so today it is a week when we began our speical air & orange juice adventure.

i love to see everyday positive changes in mango's behavior and appearance. and mine.

it is for me great gift to be able share such special time with sweet mango

this morning i wake up around 10?am i went sleep around 2 am

after i wake up i did not had any poo as usual but only big wee

i had long hot relaxing bath with some classical music and then i truly enjoyed freezing shower.

i had today 5 fresh raw orange juices 4dl each. all made by sweet mango for me.

few minutes after my forth juice in the day, bit after 5pm i had big very runny poo and it had color of orange

soon after i finish every juice i have to go for wee

this morning i was bit sad about having too many material things, as i wish to live without them...but not for long. i think it was detox...rest of the day i was peaceful and content.

tonight i was dreaming about magic durian a bit. still i want to stay with orange juice only for bit longer. i love orange juice. yesterday and today my taste buds become more sensitive and i could feel oil in orange juice. oranges are pretty oily. i could feel it also on my more sensitive lips i love it. it is very light and fine oil. all my skin feels better every day and it feels also more sensitive. my hair also feel more alive.

tonight sweet mango was shining like true fruity star!

life is exciting,

love all,
kveta

Awoke around 01:30 this morning.. With thoughts in my head of custard apple.. Just couldn't shake the picture of it, and lay in bed fantasizing about eating one..

At 01:45 I felt wide awake and alert, and hungry, so I got up and made myself an orange juice, which I am just sipping on this very moment.. So sweet and delicious.. Thoughts of the cherimoya have left me, but I am thinking to restart on other fruits again sometime soon.

Only lost 200 grams yesterday, and that was with no nutritional intake at all, other than air, of course..

Later..

Well, I perhaps shouldn't have, but I went back to bed at around 03:00.. more because I was cold then sleepy.. But I was still buzzing from the orange juice, and found myself unable to sleep until, I guess, around 04:30 to 05:00 .. Then finally got up again at 09:00.

I've just been reflecting back on other extended mono diets I have undertaken..

My favourite one was 17 days on nothing but top quality Sumatran durian.. The only reason I stopped was because the season trickled to a halt. I was taking roughly 4 fresh durian a day, 2 in the mid morning, and 2 in the late afternoon. And never once got bored of them.

I also did some days on just Pineapple.. That was back then, when there was still an awful lot of cleansing needed. I wrote about my pineapple experience here: My Pineapple Experience. That experience was also published back in the days when Rene still had his Fruitarian Network Newsletter. I have no idea if that is still going, or has been started up again - if indeed it was ever stopped(?).

Oh, and I mustn't forget that great experience I had a couple of years back, when I picked grapes in France, and basically just lived off the grapes.. Many different varieties, all organically grown.. OK, i didn't just eat solely grapes, I was also picking the most precious delisciously tasting strawberry jam figs directly from the trees that grew wild in the fields there, and I ate also a few almonds also sweet tasting and directly from the trees.. But not many.. The figs however were out of this world. So scrumpscious!

I guess that about sums things up. Of course a fair few fasts on nothing but water, but they are sort of summarised here: Summary of my fasts.

DAY 7 ON RAW FRESH ORANGE JUICE

dear fruitlings,

i slept from 2am till 6:30am

very soon after i wake up i had normal poo and wee

at 10:30 am i shared fresh raw orange juice with mango, only few minutes after i had another poo and it was runny again. and i was suddenly very sleepy so i jumped in the bed and i slept till 2pm

when i wake up i had another small and normal poo and normal wee and soon after i had another orange juice

and another about hour later...feeling for first time that i like to really have some other fruit, it was more like huger for it as craving it..

now is 7pm and i am not interested in any fruit yet...so things are constantly changing. hunger come and go, desire come and go, feelings come and go...

today i am feeling very peaceful and happy. late afternoon me and mango had argument, and it was not solved yet. after some discussion mango decided to go to sleep. it was just before 6am

it was not easy on either of us as we spoke about our dislikes about each other.

i am feeling peaceful but bit quiet.

still enjoying the benefits of some dry fast and orange juice days. i love the places where it take me.

life is adventure,

love all,
kveta

Summary for today:

Mango - 6 glasses of OJ - 6 x 4dl
Kveta - 4 glasses of OJ - 4 x 4dl

Weight unchanged today.. That feels good.

Later..

Kveta and I both woke up this morning feeling like we wanted to eat something other than orange juice, so around midday ish, after 1 glass of orange juice, we went out on a fruit hunting expedition.. With our sights set on durian specifically.

It wasn't as straight forward as we had hoped, and required a trip into the city and battle of wits against the unfamiliar one way spaghetti system.. But ended in success!

At 15:00 or so, we got home, and had our 2nd orange juice for the day, and shortly after, well, I think it was 16:00 we set to work on the durian.. Soooooo delicious!

We had half of it, and left the other half until later..

I think, because of my fundamentally geeky essence, I would like in future to have use of one of those body fat/muscle mass scales that Anne is using.. At least for use during a fast or a similar juice cure experience. I like the idea of seeing where the weight is being lost.. I don't feel I lost too much weight during this particular undertaking, and overall I felt it was a very beneficial experience, and that we went about it the right way, by not fixing any specific date limit for ourselves, but just continuing until we felt our bodies said that's otherwise. Fortunately they did so at the same time.

Later, when Kveta returned from Andrea's, we devoured the rest of the durian, and shortly afterward, ate a half a custard apple each.. Later still, we shared a banana.

It is amazing how the apetite returns so quickly.

Summary for today:

Mango - 2 glasses (8dl) of OJ - half durian - 1.5 bananas - .5 cherimoya
Kveta - 2 glasses (8dl) of OJ - half durian - .5 cherimoya - .5 banana - 1 apple - .5 pear

dear sunflowers,

i think i slept in a bit today, elimination was normal.

around 10am i shared raw fresh orange juice with mango and not long after we went for some fruit shopping. we both felt like we are ready for other fruits again...

first we got about 7ks of papayas, box of oranges, one custard apple, and 3rockmelons. surely we both wanted to break orange juice feast with magic durian, but all our local shops run out...so we decided to drive in the city, it took us while to get in to right direction as there were many no left and right turns. i was close on to give up, but on the end we made it and we got only one durian, there was only few left and the one we got was only good one.

so after we arrived back in the shoebox we shared raw fresh orange juice and about hour later we shared very sweet creamy and yummy magic durian. we had only half and left the rest for later.

a rang me she needed some help so i went see her for few hours, she said i always make her feel better. we had great time and it was after 6:30pm when i was back with the mango again and we enjoyed the rest of the durian.

bit later we shared small custard apple and much later on one banana.

late at night i had one small granny smith apple and half of pear bit later.

i do not feel any change from eating other fruit. i am still very peaceful and relaxed and i do enjoy every second of my existence.

the power of fruit fascinate me. more i live with fruit more i love its nature. i love everything that mighty fruit is giving to me.

life is precious,

love all,
kveta
