Alright, I have been considering making a pretty big switch in my health lately. The polyphasic sleep was one thing to help me increase my energy and time. I actually discovered something today, and that is that my naps should only be 20 minutes, not 30. I've only done this twice so far but each time I have woken up feeling GREAT and actually feel myself coming right out of the dream as I wake up. This is even more of a sign that 20 minutes is my optimal number.

Now, I am starting to get the polyphasic sleep thing hammered down...it is time to begin focusing on other areas of my health such as fitness and what I am eating. It has been hard for me to get myself to go out and start running again lately, in large part due to some lack of discipline I think. Also, I haven't really had the BEST diet going on nor the worst...but I would like to do what is best for my body. After doing much research, I have decided that a whole foods diet consisting of basically nothing but fruits and veggies, and a little bit of nuts will be the best diet for me.

A switch in diet like this will be hard, due to emotional and social conditioning that makes me just want to eat lots of junky stuff like ice cream...which I am munching on currently. I found the perfect solution to help me ease into this new lifestyle today while browsing the stevepavlina.com forums. Fasting. I've heard about it before, my friend Paul does it every month and has reported some interesting results...although he has a problem going through with it lately and also doesn't come off of it like people suggest. I will attempt to do 24 days of nothing but drinking water and possibly a little bit of salt water to help me with my electrolytes. I also read something about giving myself an enema every day. I may decide to do that, not sure.

This will help my body to detox all of the nasty and wasteful things that are residing inside, as well as help to break me of all of my emotional attachments to food that does not satisfy my true needs. Once I come off of this fast, I will follow a whole foods diet. I have a cheap blender right now, but I may invest into getting a VitaMix blender which I have heard some really good things about.

Anyways, I will be sure to post details on my progress here so that anyone in the future may learn from my experience. Wish me luck!
