I started with juice fasting, and had Watermelon juice for breakfast. This is so easy to make because I don't have to use the big commercial juicer that I have. Just cut off the outer layer of rind, cut the rest in cubes and put into the Vitamix. Then I poured it through my nutmilk bag to strain, and I had 6 cups of juice. Used the pulp and some of the juice for family smoothie, and I enjoyed my first cup of juice! I'll probably have another 2 this morning, spread out to avoid spiking the blood sugar...
Later will be carrot/cucumber/spinach juice (made with my Norwalk). A lot more work, but I need the nutrients to get through this!
The first 2 days will be easy, because I'll be near home most of the weekend. Monday I have about 4 hours worth of driving to do, so I'll be making the juice and carrying it with me in the cooler.
Tuesday, I have company for the day (I'll cook for them, but not taste) and my mother-in-law and I are redecorating my daughter's room as a surprise. Off she goes to school; then grandma arrives and we're going to paint and put up her new bedding, valance, etc. Can't wait to see her face! I'll need some serious juice for a hard day's work, but at least "Nana" doesn't give me a hard time about fasting.
Starting weight this morning: 229. Was at 114.8 when stopped 18 day fast 12 days ago. Will be there again within a week (I hope) and then will continue to fast (alternating juice fasting with the master clease) until I hit my goal of 190. Then I'll be "high-raw" and hope to make it under 175 by the end of summer. I seem to have a problem making it through the third week. This is when I hit a wall with MAJOR detox. Pain levels go through the roof and I can't get out of the house for days on end. This time, I have cleared my schedule and will try (again) to push through it.
just so you dont feel bad...10 of those pounds are just food and water retention from food. totally expect 10 pounds to pop right on when you eat again.
check out yogi brand peach detox tea. it helps flush out toxins and gets rid of bloat. i just started using it and i am loving it!
good luck! and push only within reason :)
it is well worth it!
