<p><center><h1>Day 3</h1></center></p>
<p>My fast will end today at 5pm. The only detox symptom I've suffered so far is I have a horrible headache. Not enough to shut me down though, I am writing this article. </p><p> I've read when fasting 3 days the 3rd day people may expect detox symptoms. A headache is one of them. Sometimes people break out with little white bumps their face, back, arms, and legs. Many people get bad breath when they fast, it is called <a href="https://ultradex.co.uk/ketosis-breath-causes-solutions-for-bad-breath/">ketosis breath</a>.  I didn't get the rash thank goodness. I read in my research when doing the 3 day fast, take the weekend off just in case you get sick and that's what I did! </p><p>I made some soup to break my fast this evening. My garden is still producing leeks, carrots, and tomatoes. Oklahoma may be buggy but the state has a long growing season, which  is awesome for fall gardens!
<p><center><h3>Chicken Vegetable Soup</h3></center></p>

<p> All of the vegetables came from my fall garden. I buy around 15 frozen chickens at my local grocery store when we have our meat sale in the fall and can them. I boil the chicken carcasses in a big stock pot, peel of the cooked meat and can the meat with some of the water left over from cooking. I take all the bones and left overs and boil them down even more and can the chicken stock. It only takes a couple days worth of work and I cut a huge amount of work out of cooking dinners through the winter.   Canning meat saves a lot of time when cooking and also I don't have to worry about my electricity going out and my meat thawing out. </p>

<p>My carrots and beets may not be pretty but they are yummy!</p>

<p> I  wash off all my veggies really well. The bugs were so bad this year. Especially caterpillars and beetles. Both like to eat, hide or build their cocoon in my green leafy veggies. </p>

<p>I peeled my root vegetables, removed the top of the carrot and beet. You can see celery leaf, beet, collard, kale, and carrot leaf. I use my beet, celery, and carrot tops if I have them handy when I cook my soups.</p>

<p> Everything is chopped and ready to go! I love the process of cooking as much as I love eating. </p>

<p>I've ripped the tomato vines out of the garden a couple weeks ago. I got a couple pounds of green tomatoes that are slowly turning ripe. I threw the ripe ones in the soup as well.</p>

<p>I added 1/2 gallon of water to my stock pot, the canned chicken, green leafy vegetables, and tomatoes,  basil  and thyme for my herbs, with 2 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper. </p>

<p>I like to sautéed my savory vegetables together and add my herbs. The fat, flavors from the onion, herbs, salt, pepper add a lot of flavor to the soup stock when they are sautéed. After the onion becomes translucent, I add the sautéed vegetables to my stock pot. I cook until the veggies are tender. </p>

<p>Now I don't have to cook this evening when I break my 3 day water fast. </p>
