The Liquid Bread Fast

Jay Wilson is a beer maker whose inspiration for doing a lenten fast by drinking his home- made beer concoction, calling it The Illuminator came from learning about the history of German monks who fasted on 'liquid bread' for lent. He thought if THEY could do it so could he . He's got Faith I must say. It took months years of planning but so far so good; other than mild headaches. I imagine it is due to the toxins in his body from all the doughnuts he'd been eating . click on the image or here and get inspired .

The benefits of fasting

I'm not an expert on fasting but I have done the Master Cleanse 2 or 3 times already. I only did it for 10 days at a time and the first time , I felt fantastic . Last time I fasted was a year ago and I suffered with extreme headaches and they were brutal . I smoked and I probably should have quit then . The toxins in the body made it unbearable , it felt like my head was going to explode.

Anyway, Lent is coming up soon and we are required to fast . Our Lord also taught us to fast so nobody can say it isn't safe . Our Lord fasted on bread and water for 40 days, but with that, we must get a lot of rest . I tried fasting on bread and water twice a week for a time, but I simply fell off the bandwagon. Listen to Loren Lockman talk about the beneficial aspects of water fasting . However , there is still something to be said about bread as well , and I never hear anyone talk about it , besides Our Lady .
