Jenny May, a Latvian singer known as Maija Stuģe, recently completed an intense 29-day fast inspired by her husband, Gatis. During this period, she abstained from sugar, flour, eggs, fish, and meat, and even tried one full day without food entirely. May admitted to feeling quite nervous and irritable, attributing these feelings to the stress placed on her body by the fasting routine. This experience has led her to gain insights into her body's reactions, particularly the loss of familiar sensations during meals.

Throughout her fasting journey, she reported experiencing dizziness during her usual meal times, which manifested as her body struggled to adjust to the drastic change in diet. Instead of solid food, she relied on apple and carrot juices, which allowed her to sustain herself, albeit with discomfort. Additionally, one unexpected benefit of her fasting was a significant improvement in her sense of smell, which had diminished after recovering from COVID. She expressed a newfound joy in being able to smell the aroma of coffee and the freshness of her laundry detergent, which she hadn't been able to fully appreciate before.

Jenny May reflects on her fasting experience as intriguing and challenging. The fast not only tested her physical endurance but also provided her with personal growth opportunities, showcasing both the struggles and the revelations that accompany such a radical lifestyle change. For those interested in more details about her journey, additional information can be found in the latest issue of 'Privātā Dzīve' magazine, published on February 10.
