Date: December 09, 2006 06:21PM I'm doing my first fast.. I wanted to know if fruit smoothies are ok... or am I just making it up that I've heard people use smoothies on a fast. I work and don't have access to food or juice and wanted to bring a smoothie with me to work.
Any thoughts, concerns, suggestions? Re: Smoothies on a Fast

Date: December 09, 2006 06:37PM Depends on how you define "fast"!
According to dictionary.com: 1. to abstain from all food. 2. to eat only sparingly or of certain kinds of food, esp. as a religious observance. If you are working, then having a smoothie would probably be wise, but I'm not sure I'd call it fasting. Maybe cleansing. If you are going to do a complete fast, then you might want to take some time off work. Rob -- Rob Hull - Funky Raw My blog: [www.rawrob.com] Re: Smoothies on a Fast

It wouldn't really be a fast though. If you want to do a fast I would follow a tried and trusted method with lots of documentation telling you what to expect. The closest thing to a fast I have ever done is the Master Cleanser. Re: Smoothies on a Fast

Date: December 13, 2006 10:37PM Yes, there definitely is a difference between a fast and a cleanse. On a fast you may have only water and/or juiced fruits and veggies.
A cleanse can be less harsh on the body than a fast depending on your health condition. You can still clean your insides with a cleanse. How do you do a "cleanse?" Use simple, 2 or 3, combinations of fruits or veggies with or without juices. It can be quite tasty, filling and very detoxifying. You really should keep your combos simple. You can also stick with only green foods, literally smoothies or juices that are the color green. VERY CLEANSING!!! Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
