Date: September 08, 2008 07:57PM Hi! I want to do a one or two day cucumber fast for a short cleanse. How many cucumbers can I juice in one day and is there anything detrimental in eating too many cucumbers? Should I juice them with apples?
Thanks for your help and input! Much love, Nathalie Re: cucumber fast

comes up with something New. I think Apples would make a better Cleanse. I buy Organic, but still like to peel them......WY Re: cucumber fast

15 unpeeled have about 500 unless you are able to rest throughout the fast you might want to add those apples for more calories Re: cucumber fast

Date: September 09, 2008 04:46AM funny,
whole foods is selling organic cukes from mexico. i have been pigging out or feasting on them for days, i think i bought out their entire inventory of cukes. i feel great and hydrated, i did not mean to do a cuke fast, but i had to take advantage of the fact that they were in season. OK, WHATS UP WITH THE OBSESSION FOR SEEDLESS CUCUMBERS!! what is so great about SEEDLESS, i love the pulpy seedy core of these organic mexican cucumbers, so sweet and tasty, why would anyone want to cultivate a cucumber until it is seedless and tasteless?

Date: September 11, 2008 12:10AM cucumbers rock. they are so hydrating and coooling and cleansing and alkalinizing. the morning "cleansing" drink at Hippocrates is pure cuke juice.  Re: cucumber fast

Date: September 11, 2008 01:47AM dancerinthenight - did you go to Hippocrates? If so, can I pm you about it? I am looking into it right now pretty seriously. I am going to get more involved there regardless because I live so closely to the institute. I need to have raw food support in real life as well. Either way, I would love to hear more about your experience there. Re: cucumber fast

Didn't plan on it - it just tasted wonderful and that's all I needed for the day. It was 2 days and I used 3-4 unpeeled, organic large cucumbers to yield about 64 ounces of juice. Sometimes I'd juice up to 8 cukes so it was probably more. My skin was radiant and my colon felt very light and clear during my cucumber fest. Enjoy. Edited 1 time(s).

Date: September 13, 2008 01:06AM Yes. I did go to Hippocrates. I would happy to answer any questions you might have. The biggest down side is it is EXPENSIVE! The upside - Tons of support - And Brian is a great speaker - He shuns fruit though Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
