Forget about you? I should say not. Has life interfered with your plans to stay aboard Greenpeach? It can be really difficult to fast again if you fall off on Day 6 - you're our poster child. I am far from certain that the wind isn't going out of our sails entirely! Perhaps life has interfered with the admiral's plans, too. Anyway, the captain goes down with the ship, I guess.

By the way, I don't know how experienced you are with making smoothies, but generally you need a very expensive blender to make them smooth enough - otherwise you will be left with bits of cellulose and bits of apple floating in water - ugh.
Remember that when one speaks of getting massive green-alkalizing-mineralization in the diet, one is not speaking of salads. Eating salads, whilst fun, wi

Most people say that carrot juice is worse sugar than apple juice. Fruit juices that might not aggravate your candida are lemon, grapefruit, apple, pear, kiwi, and the vegetable fruits. With smoothies, you may not have to be as careful of sugar-overload because you have the fiber to slow it down as it enters your system. The green smoothie idea is that you can mix any kind of fruit in with the gr

I admit I am a sucker for reading about what benefits I can expect from fasting, especially when I am in the middle of one and wondering whether I _really_ should continue or if eating is more important! But I have been ouched so many times by that sort of thing, because it always turns out that what other people "get" is never what I get. With your fast, my concern is that you don't fa

By the way, as Carrie said earlier, it may help you to just think of doing only juice today, not "10 days" - then every day you give it a shot but know that you can have a smoothie if you really have to.
I don't know about Dynamite Carrie, but I have done lots of lots of fasts of various kinds, and LV has done lots and lots of fasts - I think she sticks to green juice ones with some

Purser, you are doing totally splendidly. You may be able to get better advice about caffeine withdrawal either on other sites or in other threads on this site, but some juices might help with headache - that would be emphasizing greens in a juice, and I think celery is good for headaches, if it's available to you. You can do a goodsearch for "juicing headache" or something and some sit

Got your post - yes, absolutely, be as slug as possible. It is good you can be more sluggy than usual - allow it. Indulge it. I realize I have not consulted our map in a while and we've gone into unchartered waters, but soon I will give you quotes from _The Fasting Path_ map. In essence (ha), it says pamper yourself as much as possible. Love those bits of yourself that are tired, put-upon, perhap

Here we are Day 3 and Page, er, 5 - I did what I set out to do and had a delicious, very nice breakfast of just green juice, only a pint. Celery, green cabbage, lots of parsley, kale, green pepper (nightshade), lots of endive, and, oh, a lemon - it was sort of green fron unripeness at the tip. It was good! Note for explorers: I don't feel wacked-out as I have with the other juice meals I have bee

It's not that calcium isn't important to actually receive through your food, but your nutritionist is (I bet anything) recommending levels based on the average American highly acid-forming diet - that is, lots of bread, sugar, and other even worse acid-forming things people eat. The reason why the recommended levels are so high is to attempt to offset the fact that the body has to take, steal, ca

Purser, for your first long fast, do what you are doing - a juice fast with as much green IN it as you can. This will be experience enough, but the drawback is that its "easierness" will require more diligence about the candida-critter issue than a more exclusively green fast, the kind we are sort of doing. We like to be worry-free! Your challenge will be to ask your body, "Was tha

Okay, Pursy, that is awesome. We are here. No land in sight can be pretty scary, but the Peach has saltwater swimming pools and hot-tubs and stuff and stuffy armchairs you can sit sideways and read in and greenhouses, of course - it's a luxury de luxe place to be, and you've got THIS TIME when no-one else is around, which Carrie doesn't have and you see how DIFFICULT that is when they are there.

Nextly, Pursy, in answer to what you said yesterday - you can continue to have your morning psyllium, but as LV says, listen to your body; as you go along with the fast, you may find that the psyllium takes me too far from your center and gugs up the works - and then you might decide to be free-floating without it because you can trust the emerald ocean - I just woke up with a whopper @#$%&, so g

Captain Johnsie reporting - our radio operator turned out to be a stinky abominable diabolic eater and cut off our Greenpeach intercom service before commiting suicide by jumping overboard with Carrie's cake. Whew!
Let's see - first things first. Purser - it's already afternoon there but you know what? I think you're going to do this! Because you want clarity of mind and to uncover your poor h
