I am on day 2 of my cleanse. Yesterday, felt great. Today not so great. I have followed the protocol and even did the SW this morning. I've had 2 minor bm's.
Problem is I feel horrible. I have no energy, have been cold and have a headache and my whole body aches. I eat healthy(minus this past week on vacation) and workout regularly. Did not expect to feel so horrible today.

I am concerned because I really want to continue the cleanse. I chose this fast becaue of the simplicity and becasue everyones enegy levels seem to remain good. 3yrs ago in Thailand I did a 9 day fast. I am looking forward to doing this one here and on my own (w/the boards help).

I am a flight attendant and will have to work while doing this and will be working on day 5 and 7 and 11.
I don't have 3 days off until the 24th to break the fast.

Questions. Would it be difficult to break fast while traveling? Is it realistic for me to continue? Should I take a laxative tea to help symptoms?

Discouraged today would love some advice! Thanks!!

You seem to feel like I did on a water fast. I too am in the airline industry and hope to continue with my fast through 3-6 day trips. If unable I was going to break my fast by bringing juice with me and nibbling on grapes. Hope this helps

I just finished 20 days yesterday. After the onevvery bad day I had just a few days with headaches, nothing sever. I was able to fly the whole time I did the fast. Actually, I found it easier then trying to pack my usual healthy fare to bring with me.
Good luck. I encourage you to stick with the plan while you fly!
