After breaking my fast two weeks ago for a period of one week, I got back on the juicing wagon for a further 7 days. ... ... I re-started on Monday, 2 August 2010, and today is Sunday, 8 August. ... ... My weight has been as follows: ... ... Day 1 - 10st 1.6lbs ... Day 2 - 10st 0.2lbs ... Day 3 - 9st 12.2lbs ...

If I had not broken my fast for a week, I would have been so close to my target of 28lbs. ... ... On Day 6 I did not have a ...

Today is Monday 26 July and yesterday I ended my fast. I did 12 days, and wanted to do more, but had to break my fast due to the wedding I will be attending tomorrow, where I would have to eat. ... ... Every 5 days of fasting requires 1 day to break it apparently, so 12 days would equal a 2-day break. So, sensibly I think, I decided to break my fast yesterday as otherwise if I did eat at the wedding (or someone forced food down my throat, as is the norm) I would not have a painful reaction. Which is a shame as I was very confident that I could do a long stretch. Does not help that I will be ...

I have been having pineapple juice with lemon the last few days, but got sick of it yesterday so have changed to grapefruit, which tastes absolutely delicious. ... ... I am however feeling tired and not drinking as much as I should. I will from today incorporate more water as otherwise the cleanse will not work fully.

So I woke up quite a few times this morning and wondered why I was feeling so uneasy. I decided to wake up as I thought I must be hungry. So decided to make some juice and had some. I realised I was feeling nauseous so immediately after sipping some juice I had temporary relief.

So it’s been about 10 days since my last post, and I have put on 3.8lbs. Which is so surprising seeing that I have been eating non stop. Am wondering if it is because I am slowly starting to incorporate virgin coconut oil into my diet. For the last two days I have fried some potatoes in coconut oil, and they tasted really good. Not sure if its because potatoes themselves taste great, or because of the added coconut flavour. ... ... Anyway, in order to continue with my mission of losing 28lbs through juice fasting, I am creating some stages. They will be as follows: ... ... Stage 1 - 10st (140lb ...

I was surprised to see that my blog received two comments - which I did not know about at all until 11 or so months later! (There should be some pop-up sort of message maybe!) ... ... Yes, that would be great re swapping juicing recipes. There are some sites that you can find on google that have different combinations. The ones I use most often are: ... ... 1. Grapefruit and orange (if you like the bitter taste); ... 2. Pineapple with a slice of lemon (with the rind) - have to say this one ...

So I have woken up today just before 9am. It is the weekend and usually I like to lie in a little, but whenever you are on a fast, and because I am so hungry, I tend to wake up earlier than usual. Which is good, as I can be lazy at times. ... ... Did my usual weigh ins and have found I am 10st 4.4lbs (144.4lbs). That’s an exact 2lb loss since yesterday, and a 3.4lbs loss in 2 days. Has immediately made me wonder if I should be continuing the fast instead of breaking it today as I am doing so well. ... ... Yesterday evening we went to my sister-in-law’s for a barbeque. It was raining so it was q ...

At 7.40am this morning, weighed myself and am now 10st 6.4lbs. Haven’t been this weight for the last six months I think. That’s 1.4lb loss since yesterday.

My teeth do feel a lot cleaner after doing that. I have been doing it on and off twice a day for the last three weeks I think. Will continue, as it can only be doing me good, surely. ... ...

Well, I did have an evening meal yesterday for the first time in two weeks. It consisted of four fish fingers in a pitta bread with ketchup and tartare sauce. I know, probably not one of the healthiest choices, but my pitta breads were going bad so had to find a way to finish them! Also had two alfonso mangoes - these are so sweet and delicious!

In the last two weeks I have been on a diet which I call the ’5pm diet’. Basically I have to drink 2 litres of water a day and add a couple of fruits/vegetables, whilst eating a sensible breakfast and lunch and stop eating at 5pm every day. I have done that for the last two weeks. My calories have been around 1,000. ... ... So far I have managed to lose about 4 lbs in the last two weeks. Which is good, but since I have been exercising as well I thought it would be much more. For the last week or so my weight has been stuck on 10st 7lbs (147lbs). Last year I was 9st 6lbs (132lbs).
