 NOTES:

WATER: Always drink a lot of water while you are fasting. The average person needs to drink ½ - ¾ of a gallon of filtered water each day. To figure out the amount of water your body needs each day, use this easy formula. Take your body weight; divide it by 2, and the answer is the number of ounces you should drink each day.

So if you weigh 120 pounds and you divide that by 2, you need to drink 60 ounces of water each day. Water is the best way to detox your body, it fills your stomach so you won't want to eat as much, and it keeps your whole body hydrated (our bodies are 70% water). So drinking adequate filtered water each day is a good habit to get into!

ENDING THE FAST: I do want to caution everyone about ending the fast. You will need to be careful during the first couple days of "ordinary eating." To keep your body from rebelling loudly, reintroduce foods slowly. This is especially important when resuming coffee and caffeine, meat, dairy products and sweets. Small portions are better and easing back into consumption of these foods is advised.

 Also, when you end your fast, reflect on the lessons you learned during your period of fasting, prayer and meditation. Thank you for joining us on this 21 days journey of spiritual consecration. May the Lord richly bless and draw you closer, is our prayer.

 Much Love,
