Day 8, Detox and fast on Koh Samui: BREAKING THE FAST
Jeez, can't eat till like midday as still have special flora-gro "insertion" put inside me to replenish all the good bacteria. Will NOT miss the smell of coffee I can tell you.
Weight check: 135 lbs! (lost in total, 7lbs, half a stone) (the 4lbs I put on 2 days ago must have been water, but it went the next morning)
12: 30 yuuuuuuummmmmmmyyyy papaya and mango and goat's yoghurt and bee pollen for brek. In a small bowl, but I felt stuffed!
3pm: was a bit naughty as supposed to eat only veg but spotted someone eating delicious raw vietnamese uncooked spring rolls with chilli sauce so ordered them too. Ate them in restuarant on the beach. YUMMY! Stuffed. Was only 7 mouthfuls!
8pm; another raw salad but only ate 3 mouthfuls as felt no need for food at all. (Highly unlike me!!)
UPDATE: Straight after this detox/fast, I was able to cycle across from Northern Thailand to Laos for 11 days - sometimes doing 70 miles in a day! Didn't suffer at all. Was eating normally (but Thai food is healthy generally) - and drinking a beer a night. When I got back to England, I was still the same weight I was on the last day of the fast. I think this 7lbs was the weight of the GUT GUNK that is sitting in all of our intestines.
It's now about 12 weeks later, and I am STILL the same weight - (it goes up and down a little), and I haven't been neuroticly sticking to a raw food diet in the slightest. However, I have invented loads of new salad combinations and find that I get very excited by these. You can see these on my other blog Zizzie's Tahini. (eventually!)
Day 5, Detox and fast on Koh Samui
MORNING: Time is going too fast! This morning was Day 5 of the detox and I have lost 7lbs (half a stone)! Amazing! Very happy. Except, it doesn't seem to be fat loss - stomach still seems as flobbly as norma, but never mind, I've done no exercise so that's why. After this I'm cycling from northern Thailand over to Laos for 11 days, so surely that'll shift the flobbles, (except I suppose I'll be eating normal food then!)
EVENING:
WHaaaaatt??? I weighed myself again and I've put on 4 lbs?? Bizarre, since I had 2 good colemas today. How very distressing. Oh well, typical of ME to be the only person on this detox to PUT ON weight!
Watched a film in the evening called the Ph Miracle - some sensible/interesting things to say. Then I watched something else - a guy doing a speech - (INSERT TITLE - what was it??)
Here's a programme to follow - see this post.

Day 1, Fast and Detox at Koh Samui
This is a much shortened amended version of an account of the fast I'm doing in Koh Samui Thailand. If you are only reading one post, read here.
Day 1
Arrived 9am from Bangkok. Feeling coldy, ill and run down, cross that the receptionist wasn't particularly friendly and that the taxi driver charged 4 times more than usual. Had a chocolate muffin and my last cup of tea - with condensed milk, since they have no normal milk here - on the plane, so feeling a little guilty.
Was advised to start with a liver flush drink, consisting of lots of olive oil and ginger and cayenne pepper - recipe here>
The Liver Flush recipe:
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil – anywhere from 2 Tbsp. to 1/3 cup, as you prefer
- Freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice, 1/3 cup
- Fresh garlic, 3-5 cloves
- Fresh ginger, 1/2″
- Cayenne Pepper, dash to taste
- Freshly squeezed orange juice, 2 cups
