My Health Journey: Overeating, Acne, Juice Fasting & Going Fruitarian
I have been struggling with overeating and toxic eating habits my entire life.
Around the age of 25, I started looking for healthy books and healthy options. However, even though I thought I was eating “healthy,” I wasn’t. I was always eating more than I needed, and the wrong foods. I underestimated the most important thing: what you DON’T put in the body. In other words, fasting and the empty hours.
I was dealing with severe acne in March 2022, and I have always had some skin issues.
(2022 March)
Skin is the largest organ in the body, and I didn’t inherit a healthy one either. I even finished a holistic nutritionist course, but what I was learning was not helping at all. Even natural remedies didn’t work.
The only thing that worked was raising my intake of fruits and lowering all the other foods that were dehydrating my body, like pasta, pizza, rice, quinoa, oats, nuts, potatoes, legumes, etc. At that time, I was still sometimes consuming fish and alcohol (wine).
Then, slowly, slowly, I stopped many of these products over the years, and I felt better in my physical and spiritual body as well.
How My Healthy Journey Cleared My Skin
By June 2022, all my acne was gone.
I had given up all animal products, and then alcohol and sugar completely. During this time, I was doing juice fasts of different lengths, detox protocols and parasite cleansing, while continuously raising my fruit and vegetable intake.
It is a journey for a lifetime. I didn’t choose it, but I am glad it is happening, because it is one of the best things in my life. I am so excited about where it will take me.
I started like everybody else with 24 hours, then 3 days, 5 days, 10 days, etc. As of today, I have done many extended fasts of 20 or even 40 days with fresh juices.
That led me to where I am today: moving towards a completely fruitarian diet with plenty of hours of dry fasting, and I have never felt better. As I write this blog post, I am on the 19th day of only fruits.
My skin is glowing (and still healing), my brain is much sharper, my psychic abilities are coming back, my skin doesn’t burn in the sun, and there are many other benefits that go way beyond this physical 3D dimension. I also feel much more positive and grateful for the life I live. My heart is open and I have never felt better.
I also need to mention that I am highly grateful to Patrizio (IG: @aguilavisionaria), my life partner and best friend! He taught me and reminded me of many of these important life guidance about detoxification of the physical body, cleansing and fasting. Without him, the journey might have taken me much longer. Therefore, I will be grateful to him for life!
I will continue my journey on and on, and I will share it here and on my YouTube channel. In November, I am going to Bolivia for an 8-day introspective dry fast retreat. I will post how it went and how I feel afterwards.
If you are curious how my new lifestyle will unfold, just stick around, and we might do some fasting together someday! I would love to take you with me.
With Love & Light,
Regina
