Getting Ready for the Three-Day Fast
There are several things you can do to get the best results
from your fast.

1

- Plan for It
Check your calendar and be sure that at the end of the 21
days, you have no commitments and can plan three days
that will be as stress-free as possible. Your body needs to
rest and rebuild during your three water fast days, so arrange to have some time away from work. You might even
want to go away for three days and do something completely different and relaxing.

2

- Prepare Psychologically
Your brain reacts to all situations whether they are real
or created only in your mind. Even though the situations
may not be real, your mind, by default, makes your body
think they are; and your body responds accordingly.

Preparing psychologically is the most important thing you
can do to get ready for your fasting days. If you’re not prepared for the journey, don’t go. If you haven’t counted the
cost, don’t do it.

Facing Opposition
You will likely face some opposition to your get-healthy plan.
Often family and friends will say things like, “If you don’t
eat you’ll die,” or “If you stop eating, you’ll get weak.” People
don’t like change and tend to fear what they don’t understand.
Do your best to educate those closest to you and help relieve
their fears.

How You
Will Feel
The fact is fasting
for three days won’t
kill you. You might
feel hungry the first
day. You might even
feel weak. If you feel
weak, rest.
Sleepiness can happen if your body is doing major restoration
work in your vital organs. If you liver isn’t working right, for
example, you might have an overwhelming urge to sleep so
that your body can repair damaged cells in your liver. If your
body feels tired, give it the rest it needs.
We don’t need to fear what’s good for us. We should fear what’s
bad for us.

Guidelines for the Three-Day Fast
After taking 21 days to supercharge your cells with powerful
nutrients, your body will be ready for three days of fasting. To
get the greatest benefits from your fast minimize distractions,
do some non-strenuous exercise, breathe deeply and have a
positive attitude.

Minimize Distractions
• Take the 3 days off from work,
• Unplug the TV,
• Don’t read the newspaper,
• Get rid of any annoyances or hindrances that might prevent
you from resting and relaxing.

Exercise
Focus on gentle exercise like light walking and deep breathing during your fast. You should not do anything that requires
massive amounts of energy.

Other Recommendations
• Make sure you’ve got lots of fresh air in the building you’re in
so you can breathe deeply throughout the day.
• Spend time outdoors, if possible.

Different Kinds of Fasting
If you feel you cannot do a water-only fast, consider trying one
of these fasts. Your body will still receive nutrition, but it will
also have some extra energy to devote to healing and repair
work. The same guidelines given for doing the three-day water
fast apply to each of these fasts.
