God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Refeeding Update after Week 4.
In response to Grant Grant
Today I planned to eat cooked food for the first time as a celebration for my born day. I had a quinoa salad.
Had my number "52" as my confirmation.
I look at setting allowances of exactly what types of food are allowed in your new lifestyle especially after a pattern interrupting fast.
This is important. We are learning the art of self control. What doesn't resonate with you and what foods have you fully let go of? Also not trying to jump too many steps along the way too fast when getting to the ultimate goal of mainly fruit. 🥭
So I made it clear to myself that eating quinoa and chickpeas along with avocados was ok in this next phase for me. I want to test how I feel from eating them.
The quinoa salad tasted delicious 😋 .
I did feel extremely hungry when I finished it. That's what cooked foods do to us.
I wasn't craving typical sweets like I use to have when eating cooked foods.
Just more of the same salad.
Possible addictive reaction to salt for the first time.
So shows eating the cooked foods is a slippery slope to wanting to eat more and more food.
I'm allowing for 2-3 cooked meals per week.
Still having 2-3 meals of mono fruit only per day.
I've noticed the importance of having fruit for breakfast and lots of it.
I don't have additional cravings from fruit.
Salads and avocados I do.
Fruit is far superior than salads.
Very noticeable with digestion and general feeling.
Plus the high water content in fruit.
From eating cooked foods you can feel the dehydrating effect.
So I made sure I kept sipping water for the rest of the afternoon. 💧
It's a process to get to that stage of fruit only though.
Especially when paw paw's/papayas are $140 per week just for my breakfast meal.
Would be much easier in a tropical environment surrounded by abundant and cheap fruit.
"Inch by inch, life's a cinch, yard by yard, life is hard."
I didn't notice any drop in energy or lethargy from eating the quinoa salad with salt.
Very similar feel to the plain salad I make with avocados.
I've also noticed the importance of doing my kriya yoga techniques, along with a Malasana yoga pose at night time to assist with digestion.
Especially if I'm going to eat heavier foods - this is required to digest that food properly.
One of the Kriya techniques specifically targets the digestive system and makes a huge difference especially for sleeping at night.
So the key takeaway points from all of this is to reprogram your mind to what food is acceptable in your new lifestyle. Be accountable and have self control.
When you program it into your subconscious mind you have made a choice.
I choose to eat this way, not, I have to eat this way.
I'm not limiting myself on what I can eat, I just make a healthy choice for my body temple.
Never have that self talk or programming that says "I have to give up this food," or I have to limit the amount I can eat.
You can always eat what you want, just make a choice that you are eating in accordance with what feels healthy for your body temple.
You feel more empowered when you make a choice and not "have to do."
Eating should always be a sacred and fun experience.
Never make it feel restrictive, boring or forced.
Always be in a calm and relaxed state when eating.
Always bless your food.
Be in a state of absolute gratitude to God for your food.
Breathe slowly and rhythmically while eating.
