Day 11 Hunger

This morning I awoke thinking about what real hunger is. I wasn't hungry. I had worried when I started my 15-day fast in Spain that I would go bonkers with hunger. For 15 days,however, I never had even one hunger pain. I was psychologically shocked. The staff told me that real hunger doesn't surface until about the 27th. Day. Before that you really don't know what hunger is. That means, that hardly anyone on Earth has ever really been hungry.

I've noticed since my fast, that I really don't have hunger pains. I have, however, been slavishly having three meals a day. Why? I guess it is safe to say it is a cultural habit. Three squares a day. Well, if you aren't hungry, should you eat? The obvious answer is no. Hunger can be controlled. So can the signals sent out by Madison Avenue that tell you to eat every TV show you watch, every radio show you hear, every sign you read. But only you have control over your mind. Don't be weak. Just ask yourself, Am I really hungry? Then don't eat if the answer is no.

Well. One banana is 167 calories. Kiss that fruit goodbye for now. Reviewing the calories for various vegetables, you can make a smashing good salad with some real low calorie varieties.

My blood sugar spiked to the top of the acceptable range and I haven't lost weight in several days so I am preparing my flush starting Wednesday after my weekly fast on Tuesday. Dr. Buchanan had prescribed a mix of Tahini(a liquified semame seed butter) and raw honey as a snack during my flush at UCLA he said to maintain my strength.
