Fast With Chas

Hello Everybody!

For the first time I am inviting BDO users to “Fast with Chas.”

As the Executive Editor of BlackDoctor.org, I have committed myself to achieving my health goal of living a happier healthier life. In order to achieve this goal, I engage in a number of activities including weekly exercise routines, consumption of healthy vegetarian foods, regular health checkups and annual fasting.

The yearly fast I participate in is called the Master Cleanse, but to most people in the African American community, it is known as “Beyonce’s Lemonade Diet.” Beyonce followed the Master Cleanse to shed pounds before the filming of Dream Girls, but the cleanse - created by Stanley Burroughs over 50 years ago – was designed to cleanse the body by ridding it of toxins. A happy side effect of this now popular cleanse includes losing weight, though this was not its original intention.

For a detailed description of the Master Cleanse and its guidelines, click here.

I will be fasting from November 10th to November 20th and I would like to extend an invitation to any BDO user that is interested, to participate in this fast with me – after you receive medical clearance by you primary care physician, of course.

I will be documenting my progression, communicating with participants and encouraging them via my blog in the BDO Community section.

I can’t wait to fast with you!
