Blog: My Juice fast Journey
Hey All,
its been 48 hours since I started my fast and today I am starting day 3.
I walked about 45 min yesterday and got very hungry at one point but I remedied that with some beet juice...(dont drink too much people -you get the runs :o))
Anywho, I started the fast on May 28 weighing 168lbs
Today I weighed myself and GREAT NEWS '163lbs' so a total loss of 5lbs in 48hrs.
Oh to day 3 - I am going to sip a bit more water than juice today cause I may have had a bit too much juice yesterday.
Day 3 here we go....

Holy canoli!]
youre doing fabulous! i just finished the master cleanse and day 4 was the day of satan so be careful...but after day 6 it got easier.
What kind of juices are u juicing? you should not drink coffee while fasting. It defeats the ourpose....but i understand the smoking thing, thats stuff is a bitch to give up...but u know u have to right? sooner or later...best to do it now than 10 years from now.
Anyhoo, youre doing great and what are you drinking anyway? are u doing the enemas too?

Hi thx,
Well in the morning I have grapefruit juice from 1 grapefruit.
Then I make a juice with 2 or 3 heads of celery 2 large carrots and one medium size beet.
10 glasses of water and sometimes I have another juice made with Celery and tomato.
Coffee is a terrible thing but I am trying hard since the norm was usually 4 to 5 cups a day. I have realized the power of Chai black tea which is 'hearty' (this is the best way to describe the taste and feeling afterwards.
Enemas I will start on the weekend since I am working mon to fri but one glass of beet juice is really a powerful enema in itsel.
Smoking -phew its gross and I want to stop but its hard. Though instead of 10 cigarettes a day I have gone down to 5...I know that there is no good amount but after 9 years of smoking this really is good progress...

| i know you are gung ho and happy about this but i dont think smoking and drinking coffee while fasting is a good idea. the problem of our addictions we set great goals then we fail and over time its very self defeating because lose faith in our ability to make any change at all. it seems to work better to make little little changes and have then become permanet rather than huge drastic OK NOW IM TOTALLY DONE WITH ALL OF THIS kind of thing. just from expereince here. if you want to loose weight think about a strict macrobiotic diet first. its simple and creates REAL LASTING change.

I competely agree with you. Its very hard to quit a 9 year habit though for a smoker like myself I must say that in the 3 days I have gone from 10 cigarettes a day to 5 an from 4-5 cups of coffee a day to 2. I want to decrese this until its oblivion.
I did look into the macrobiotic diet as well as the raw food diet. Heres the thing: I get discouraged quickly if I do not see immediate result.
I know that sounds shallow but what I want to do is really improve my self image and esteem and then to follow up on this fast to start introducing such diets as a permenant fixture in my life. I did this before 2 years ago but I was really in denial about my smoking habits. Something happened to me about 6 months ago - it was nothing emotional or physical rather it was psychological - I was ashamed of being a smoker and ashamed of admitting it. Once I realize this I realized that I have to quit because I am starting to not love myself and falling into depression.
I agree about the losing faith that is why I dropped a few bad infulences in my life over the last 6 months and I want to re-invent my self in terms of health and well being...
thanks for the note and thanks for letting me spill some of my issues out. I needed to.
Cheers!!
