More on Fasting, Un-college and Giving Credit

More fasting info came to my attention this morning as I glanced through this Mercola article. I don’t know how correct the information is, but it sounds convincing and is readily accessible. If you want to catch up with on the beginning of my fasting journey, read this post: Marks Daily Apple – Intermittent Fasting.

I am purchasing the book Eat Stop Eat by Brad Pilon on the recommendation of a doc I know. He says that is the best source/guide out there for fasting. I haven’t had a chance to look at it yet, but I will be on it today as my fasting day will be here before I know it.

This doc – he is amazing. The information he nonchalantly shares…I don’t think I can chat with him for awhile because there is so much to process. He is another example about why I keep emphasizing that we need to take the health journey as a community, not in isolation. I would almost certainly not have found the resources that he has brought to me – and stand by because there is more. Low profile guy that he is I don’t need to keep giving him credit, which is tough, because I always like to give credit.

Thank you!

Now off to my other wacky endeavors…like exploring Un-college. In addition to this site, brought to my attention by my friend Jen, my friend Maria tracks these other resources:

“I'm subscribing to that blog and watching several other projects, like OERu and P2PU and Ashoka U and edupunks (DIY U)... The landscape of college-level education will be very different ten years from now.”   

Thank you, ladies!

I think there needs to be five of me – one for marriage, one for food and health, one for homeschooling, one for activism, and one for rest!

I like to fast for 24 hours if I start feeling under the weather. I just skip breakfast and lunch. It's only difficult for the last few hours, unless I am really sick (then it's easy to fast).

I like to break the fast with something like apples or tomatoes - acidic veggies or fruits, high on fiber. In a few minutes after this snack, a hearty meal can follow.
