Firstable, I am sorry about writing in English. Unfortunately, my computer can only handle English typefaces (although I have no problem reading Korean).
I need your suggestion! First let me give you a short summary of my fasting.
This was my first time fasting only on water. I originally planned 5 day water only fasting, and I successfully finished the 5 days of fasting as of yesterday. Although I did not have strong temptation to eat during fasting, my body felt very tired and heavy, especially from the day 3 - 5. What's worse was the start of my monthly period (menstrual cycle) on the 4th day. I had so much pain from it that I had hard time walking and sleeping. I hardly slept from day 3 - 5.
Today is the start of the my first recovery period. However I got a temptation to continue on for 2 more days. This morning when I woke up, I felt much more energized. I didn't have that tired feeling that I had from day 2 - 5. It was amazing how clear I felt. Also, I no longer have the bad taste in my mouth.
Now, here is my agony. I had a notion that 7 day fasting would be more rewarding (in terms of cleansing the body) than the 5 day fast. Now that I feel much better, I have a temptation to continue my fasting for 2 more days. Should I just stick to my original plan? Or will I benefit from the extra 2 more days of fasting? Is there a significant difference between the 5 day fast and the 7 day fast? I would really like to find out!
Can someone please answer me? For your info, I can read Korean (so you can reply in Korean).
Thank you!
