Sorry for late reply. Yup bananas save me from everything - my cupboards and fridge is full of them! I would really love to do a fast but I will just have to be patient and wait until my 2 year old has weaned :) Thanks for your comment. Haha awesome! Sorry for late reply.

Always interested in looking into new books. The Eyebody is something you have to go to a retreat for so I never pursued it. I found a technique by someone that I have been trying with some success although it teaches differently to Bates in that you have to build up muscle strength in your eyes. Seems to be helping but it definitely it is a physical challenge. Thanks again :) Oh did you improve your eyesight working with a Bates teacher? Hey,

I did Bates for years with a very experienced teacher, which is very good but hard work. I haven't had any experience of the Eyebody material, but I do like the work of Leo Angart, whose book I found on ebay. This is similar to Bates, but I find it much easier to do, and it is working well for me. I particularly like the energy exercise which makes my eyes feel good whenever I do it. All the best.

Great info. I love Grahams book. I have been working with this for some months now. Just came off a 7day fast that was the absolute smoothest & easiest fast I've ever done. And now I'm on banana island. I love 801010! Thanks chica! Oh yeah, I just counted my calories for the day and haven't eaten enough.

Yes it is still working however as a nursing mother I have felt the need to add in a little more fat than before. I understand your concern about the long term effects. All I know is that I feel great and have improved health and that is much better to me than my last diet so I have in faith in this way. Hope it is working out for you. Hi Kylie,

You are right that by just taking off your glasses your eyesight won't improvement but you are wrong that one's eyesight won't change no matter what you do. My PRESCRIBED eyesight is currently -2.00 at the moment. Thanks for your comment. Hi Matt,

I do agree with you that you feel you see worse after taking off your glasses. The idea is called blur interpretation, and when you don't wear your glasses your brain has to interpret blurry images all day. Your eyes seem to get "better" the less you wear your glasses. When you wear your glasses, your brain gets lazy at interpreting blurry images, and subsequently, you feel that you can't see very well when you take them off. At a -3.50, you probably see around 20/200 or slightly worse. That won't change no matter what you do. Your PERCEPTION of how well you see, though, will change as you do these activities and don't wear glasses.

What you've described in regards to fatigued eyes, tense jaw and irratic breathing from a tense abdomin are the same experience i have with my glasses, and immeadiately when i take them off, viola, they're gone! It is nearly impossible for me to be stressed without my glasses, thank you for the tip on the shoulders. And focusing on breathing, i used to do that and likewise benefited, but stopped because i felt like such a hassle. I've noticed that my problems with my glasses would go away while wearing them largely when i am drawing (lots of movement), when i exercise (effects breathing rate) or if i concentrate on breathing for a bit. And i have being noticing this for a few years, and the eye doctor's i've spoken with look at me as if i am crazy, i have an appointment with a Bate's practitioner and look forward to getting rid of my glasses in the future. On my own i managed to reduce the blurriness but never improved my vision. gotta go, cheers. wow, i’m suprised.
