Brucely, I started out fasting many years ago. It lead to my changing my entire diet. Not that it has to happen that way. But any health program requires a consciousness shift in order to be successful. And that shift often opens one up to looking at why they don't (fill in the blank) all the time!
That shift is this: You have to stop with half-effort thinking and visualizing. Example: "I'm going to try to go on a fast for three days."
If you have to try, you've already given up really.
You are doing this for your health, not because it's a burden. You are doing this because it's what you require. It's what your best self requires, and wants. Whereas that donut is not what you require. That donut is not your best self.
The mindset then is, "I am doing this. I am fasting for three days. I am doing this because it is who I am."
Start small, work your way up. Even just one day, every other weekend. Saturday or Sunday. Then try two days on a weekend if you want to go longer. But even one day, twice a month, is probably all you need. And I always did the lemon-maple Master Cleanse fast. Easy and yummy.
