               physically, and even spiritually from long-term fasting.  My brothers

               and sisters, it is a “life changing” experience!  My personal routine is

               every 2 months, I fast for one week (Monday-Sunday), and in between I
               do intermittent fasting (more on intermittent fasting later).



               What to Expect:
               Now I have to tell you honestly, I have never in my entire life done

               anything even close to the level of difficulty of long-term fasting.
               Running a marathon is a piece of cake vs. fasting for 21 days.  We are so

               conditioned to find fulfillment when we eat, after all, it is a gift from

               Jehovah.


               For everyone, fasting will be a different experience depending on your

               upbringing and how much emphasis food has played in your life.  I was
                                                    raised by parents from Italy who owned an
                 “That everyone should eat

                 and drink and find                 Italian restaurant and bakery. Food was not
                 enjoyment for all his hard         just to ingest, food was our happiness,
                 work. It is the gift of God.”      livelihood, and passion.  On top of that, the

                               Ecclesiastes 3:13     oven in our home was on 8 hours a day, as

                                                    mom felt her main purpose in life was to
               feed her six boys, husband and family and friends that seemed to

               congregate around our home.  Mom had a giant pot of tomato sauce
               cooking at least five nights a week.  When we ate as a family, which was

               every night of the week, it was an expression of togetherness,

               contentment, and fulfillment.  So, later in life, food was not just about
               eating. There was a subconscious, emotional attachment that not only

               raised endorphins levels but brought on a sense of completeness.  I had
               to unlearn that (still unlearning) behavior in order to avoid the fate of

               many of my family members including my parents, who died at a very

               young age due to disease.
