i had normal meal during the day, and in the evening, i skipped dinner.
ive never done fasting, so i was not ready for a complete fasting,
also i didn't want to be stressed out about not eating or being too hungry at night.so i had a cup of brown rice amazake--fermented brown rice milk--, and a spoon full of azuki bean.
this amazake has no added sugar or anything, but very sweet. so it can make you feel full by slowly raising glucose level.
unlike refined sugar, which spikes up blood sugar level at a very high speed, this naturally fermented rice milk does not upset the pancreas or stomach.
*you can find amazake at whole foods or other health food stores.
i added slices of fresh ginger and heated up the amazake and slowly drank.
and sure enough, i felt full and satisfied.
effect?
i slept so well, and woke up much earlier than usual without an alarm clock!
feeling refreshed and lighter!
i tend to eat a lot. especially in the evening, and late : (
so the following morning, it's hard to get up...feeling heavy and groggy...
and that's understandable, because my eating style forces my digestive system to work hard all night long!!
everybody needs some vacation to recharge themselves.
i need it, too.
and so does our body/digestive system!
so i consider this "mini fasting" as my way of thanking them and giving them paid vacation : )
and no other time is better than the new/full moon to do that.
