Pre-fast Monday 14 y
I JUST NEED TO DETOX! that's about all.
Well I’m back again! I’m really looking forward to this fast. I read a lot of my entries before and I’m impressed with how introspective and honest I had been. It was also great reading about the successes I experienced on the fast! Its also hard to believe I have been away from this site for many years! While I’ve been busy maintaining and writing for my own site, attending graduate school, nursing people with mental health problems back to life, ect, ect, ect....its still great to know I can always come back to cure zone and pick up where I left off!
Well I’m not over thinking th ... read more Day 3 18 y
I feel like I may have to make a choice between running and fasting for the time being.
Things are still going well. My only problem is my runs seem to be suffering. I could barely make it through mi 2 today! I felt much lighter but I didn’t feel as if I had the energy! That was very frustrating. I feel like I may have to make a choice between running and fasting for the time being. I’m not sure that I’m willing to give up on my runs though. Anyone who has ever run understands how it makes you feel. It’s almost too good to live without.....Yet, I really want to do this detoxing again, and it wouldn’t hurt to lose 10 lbs as well! I think I need to pray and do some thi ... read more Day 1-2 18 y
Day 2....
Starting off not too badly. Had a lot of apple juice this morning. Wanting to EAT breakfast (thinking of eggs and toast) this morning but I resisted. I have to get through the first 8 days. They are always the most difficult!
Day one did’t go over too well. To start off yes, it was easy considering how much I had eaten the day prior. Towards the late evening though, I started to get deep hunger pains and also a killer headache. I just kept drinking water. On the plus side I had a really amazing sleep. I woke up and did a 4 mi run/walk. I had been running 3-4 mi non stop in the weeks prior however I took last week off. Anyway on my run this morning I was suprised that I was able to go as long as I had. I could have went longer but I developed cramps (hence the walk run sequence)I was suprised that I wasn’ ... read more Back a year later....time for another fast 18 y
The goals of this fast are first to fast for 30 days on pure juices and herbal teas. I will be reading my bible, meditating daily and praying daily to get in touch with my spiritual side. Overall, I'm just hoping to feel better emotionally and physically. I'm anticipating a new outlook on life. More positivity, more clairity and more focus.
Well I’m back after a year. I haven’t been following up with my healthy lifestyle that’s for sure. It’s been more then easy to slip back into my ”old” ways.
I’m not happy where I am right now. I need to lose weight again but more importantly I need to get in touch with my spiritual side again. I miss feeling close to God, like I’m doing the right thing and as if he is guiding me in the right direction.

This entry is entirely self-help and will probably not help you during your juice fast.
One of the reasons I like abstaining from food during a juice fast is because it makes me think. I’m not sure what causes this, maybe the energy that’s usually devoted to digestion goes into the brain waves? Anyway, I’ve been thinking a lot about why I’m single. I’m 25 years old, good looking relative to my peers and intelligent yet I haven’t been able to meet anyone recently. At times I wonder what’s wrong with me, if I’m actually the problem. I’ve considered just giving up, actually I’m at that point now. I kind of feel like I don’t want to be in a relationship now or ever. So I’m ... read more Day 2 19 y
I've been trying to focus on taking things one day at a time.
I hate counting the days, it makes me feel as if I’m waiting for something to happen. In other words, I’m not living in the present. I’ve been trying to focus on taking things one day at a time, having no expectations (having expectations sabatoged my efforts the last times) and living fully. In any case, I’m really greatful to be doing this again, it’s a worthwhile challenge. As for symptoms, physically I feel fine, my body temperature has dropped somewhat but other than that I’m good. I even had the energy to do 30 mins of cardio this evening at the gym. I’m trying to take it easy t ... read more Day 1

I woke up this morning dreaming about hot baked waffles smothered in butter and syrup!......I weighed in and I'm at 165 but I know that much of that is water weight.
Well I woke up this morning dreaming about hot baked waffles smothered in butter and syrup! mmmmmmm! I had to log onto this site to distract myself. Yesterday I pigged out BIGTIME because I knew I’d be starting this fast and I guess now, I’m really craving eating again because of that.
So my plan for today is just to drink juices and lots of water. I weighed in and I’m at 165 but I know that much of that is water weight. I’d also like to get to the gym either before or after school for a good workout, that should put me on the right track.
I really hate starting these fasts, it’s ... read more At it again....another juice fast 19 y
I'm back! Since my last post over 2 months ago I tried fasting one more time and I lasted for about 12 days. I feel like I'm ready to try it again and I want to use this forum as a way to record my daily experience - sort of like a journal.
I’m back! Since my last post over 2 months ago I tried fasting one more time and I lasted for about 12 days. I feel like I’m ready to try it again and I want to use this forum as a way to record my daily experience - sort of like a journal. I’ve had really good results from fasting concerning maintaining my weight at 160. I haven’t gone up and unfortunately I haven’t gone down either. My ultimate goal was 140 and still continues to be and I know that I can get there at some point.
Well here I go again. I’m setting a few goals:
1. Fast for 14 days (2 weeks)
2. Raw fruits/vegete ... read more day 3 19 y
Feeling down during the fast
today isn’t going that well I actually feel pretty sick. I’m just really tired and really stressed out. This could be a product of my detox. In any case, I can’t lie, I’m missing eating, food and all it’s wonderful tastes, textures and smells. I also miss the feeling of contentment I once felt during the previous fast. I miss the feeling of just being ”okay” with the world and with my life. I’m not sure how I’ve strayed as far as I have, but I know I need to get back. visit the page Day 1 19 y
First day of the juice fast, went moderately well.
Not an extremely difficult day for me but I did miss food and eating. And then the dinner time smells! I rushed home from work today only to remember that I started juice fasting again and wouldn’t be participating in meal time that was the hardest part of the day for me. Onto day 2! visit the page Starting a new Juice Fast -- Again! But this time I'm ready 19 y
Am I scared that I won't be able to do this again -- yes. I am. But I have to try. I've done it before and I've gained so much mentally and physically that I can't possibly write off the entire experience as an isolated event.
Well I’m back at it folks. I’ve decided to start another juice fast this time I’ll be going for 28 days starting tomorrow (Monday).
I’ve decided to fast again because I feel like I’ve lost a lot of things that I had gained from the original fast. For example, it’s 2:30 a.m., I can’t sleep - my insomnia is back. Not only that but I haven’t been reading my bible or praying much at all lately. I have been indulging in the things of this world (so to speak) and it’s taken it’s toll on my spirit and my body.
I have also regressed back into some of my old eating patterns. Previously I ... read more Ready to start a new Juice Fast - Monday 19 y
Starting another juice fast: Goal, 3 weeks abstaining from food and only consuming fresh juices.
Here I go again, starting for the second time. My second attempt at the juice fast was unsuccessful so I am trying again.
My goals are as follows:
1. stick with the juice fast as planned
2. exercise daily (starting weight 161)
3. Meditate, read bible, pray daily
I will continue to post on this site of my daily experiences with the juice fast! visit the page Broken Fast before my due date but I'm only human...

2. I'm not perfect I'm human, I'm not a failure, I will learn from this experience and it will help me to grow! It will aid in my success in the future.
I have been off the juice fast for the past 3 days. I’ve been seeing this guy who has this innate love of baked foods, probably because his mother use to own a bakery growing up. Anyway, on tuesday I had a desire to bake him healthy banana muffins and carrot muffins. I told myself that I could definitely bake these muffins and not want to sample them myself. Well once they came out of the oven I couldn’t resist, I ate them. On Wednesday the same, I ate and ate. Thursday today, I started again eating and eating. I feel incredibly sick and bloated. While I’m upset that I broke the fas ... read more Juice Fast Day 4 19 y
I have been asking myself a lot of profound questions lately as well. When I'm tempted not to do things, or talk to people because I'm shy or afraid I ask myself how would my reaction to this situation be different if this was my last day on earth. Would I take the risk? Would I dare to challenge myself to have more courage? It's amazing how much more motivated you feel when you start asking the right questions of yourself....
I took a break from the gym over the weekend and for exercise I did a lot of walking instead. This morning I was back at the gym, cardio was fine but again I struggled with my weight sets. Today I’m going to look up vegetebles that are high in protein and start juicing them before I work out. I’ll see if this make a difference in the amount I can do at the gym.
I weighed myself this morning and I’ve actually GAINED 3 lbs from where I was after my first juice fast. I think this is incredible seeing as I ate normally after my fast and have only been on this second juice fast for 4 day ... read more Day three of the juice fast 19 y
Hungry!
My stomach is burning today because I’m very hungry. I’ve found that I’ve been able to be somewhat comfortable with these hunger symptoms. The small burning in my stomach, the gentle rumblings and gurling sounds are more tolerable this time around. Again, I’m enjoying feeling in control, I’m more calm and I’m sleeping very well. For the past few days I have felt overly tired in the mornings but I attribute this to working out while cutting back on my caloric intake.
