Juice fast! day 4!
Posted by: Curator ()
Date: July 12, 2010 02:35PM

I decided to move this discussion to its own thread instead of taking up the other one which I was enjoying the original purpose of so much ^_^

Yesterday, day 3, I felt like crap all day, run down,massive headache all day, thinking id go one more day and see how I feel, if not any better id stop the juice fast, but today, I wake up feeling great! made a ton of juice for breakfast this morning too, 3 radishes WITH their greens, 3 stalks celery, a whole bunch of dino kale, and somewhere around 1- 1/2, to maybe as high as 2 pounds of carrots, I didnt measure, and got a little over 5 cups of juice, which I just drank all of...mmmmmm

whats been your experience with juice fasting? (or "feasting" if you'd prefer.)

You have a larger stomach than I. 4-cups is my
limit. I'm on a Liquid Diet too. My 24-ounces of Celery
Juice this morning was on the bitter side. I shouldn't have
juiced the leaves....I read later that they're toxic.....WY

woops, Ive been juicing the leaves too,LOL... well at least I dont seem to have been using as much celery as you, your not dead, so I should be fine... *stops juicing the leaves from now on though* I probably drank the 4 cups right away, straight down, and sipped the rest over about 20-30 minutes after that, so sounds like we have similar capacity...

Curator,
Good luck with your fast!
I did 3 days last week and I ended up feeling fantastic!
No discomfort other than mild hunger,but it was not a feeling that I wanted to go eat any solid food.It actually felt pleasant.

The feeling of well being is what amazed me,after just 3 days.
I intend to do 4 days in Aug,then 5 in Sept,etc.... till I am at 10 days.

I hope you can keep at it,and there wont be any more bad symptoms.

Vinny

Im doing really well actually, other than frequent bathroom visits,lol...I also have an update on juicing seaweed... Ive juiced about 10 different varieties so far, have no idea which is which except for the bull kelp... and all of them where disgusting to me except one, this one that looked like a bright green algae from far away, but on closer inspection was millions of 4-10 inch long seaweed leaves, those where quite good juiced,I really liked it in a mix ive been making thats basically like a bloody mary, but al lraw, and no alcohol... the others where disturbing, what juice I could get out of them, was thick and slimy, like a bowl full of snot surrounded in carrot juice...
