It’s now been just over a week since I started a fast based largely on honey, ginger, and goji berries.

It’s my third time on a “longish” fast, longer than 3 days.  I’ve done two Master Cleanses before.  So I’m not in a state of “wow I can’t believe I’m still alive!” and I don’t want to write a play-by-play.

Rather, I’ve had a few insights into the fasting process and I’m going to write them out as much as possible.

I also want to answer the big question on most people’s minds when I tell them I’m Just Not Eating: “why?!”

I can’t do it right now though.  Inspiration at 4am is a sparkler-stick that burns out as quickly as it was lit.
