    i don't plan to start doing a juice fast, but i want to bump this thread, and I think it sounds like a neat idea.

    I just made myself a veggie juice for lunch in my blender. 2oz kale, 2oz asparagus, 4.5oz zucchini, 3.5oz bell peppers, 1 medium banana and half a scoop of vanilla protein powder. I tried it without the protein powder and it was edible, but kinda bad. With the powder it was really quite good. I recommend it over ice. The shake was 260 calories and got me all the veggies i need for a full day.

    Best of luck to you who are doing the real thing. look forward to more updates.

    Day 2 was my hardest, once I got over that it was much easier. I was so hungry on Day 2. I felt so tired, and my brain felt fogged over. Yuck!

    I finally made something without kale...carrots, celery, pears & 1 apple. And ginger of course.

    Actually got invited to an event w/Joe Cross this week. I saw the doc 2x so am excited to meet him in person.

    Why was the other post locked? weird... anywho I am glad everyone is doing so well. Keep at it. I am going on Vacay this Friday won't be back for a week, so I won't be on here during that time. When I get back I plan on Juicing again and can't wait. I'll be juicing twice a day with one small healthy meal. I'll let you know how it goes. Good luck to everyone.

    Have fun ddakota1997!!! I miss you by the way--where have you been?

    So I've been watching and waiting--devising my plan of attack--and next weekend is the start of it all. I'm actually going to still eat during dinner (veggies) but then again the plan may change. I slowly have been adding a juice to my daily good eats and so far I'm realizing that I don't like juiced cucumbers or any type of grass. Hopefully I can find a good vegg fruit combo that I like. Good luck to everyone. I can't wait.

    Would you be willing to explain what you mean? What was it like those days? You still just juicing?

    Thanks for sharing your experiences.

    We are officially over but I probably only stuck to a true fast for 20 days instead of 40. I have been eating well, still doing juice once or twice a day. We are leaving for Florida on Sunday so no fresh juices for awhile. I just reconciled my August bank statements and we definitely spent more than 20% higher than usual. We were still getting meat from the local CSA though...freezer is stocked. It probably would have been about the same if I hadn't been buying that. My husband mixed most of his with bottled juices so it would have definitely been higher if he hadn't done that. Anyway, you're all doing so well. I just wanted to pop in on the new thread!!

    mmmnokay. Officially got my juicer yesterday and tried juicing something this morning and it was gross. Apples, Carrots, Celery. Yuck. I may have used the wrong apples though (red delicious). This is going to be hard, I can tell. Not because I miss food but because nothing tastes right :sick: Fruit and veggies cost too much to be experimenting. :sad:

    Hi all:

    I hope everyone is doing great. To those who do Juice Detox over 10 days, I wonder if you can tell me how your skin feel? I have done that for 15 days and my body skin seems okay but my face skin is extremely dry every morning when I wake up. I did put on lotion and cream ect but doesn't seem help. During those 15 days, I only drink fresh juice and maybe eat 1 banana or a pear. So.. maybe I was lack of oil/fat? How do you think if I drink 1 spoon of olive oil or coconut oil everyday? Does sound crazy?

    Me and DF are making the transition to our juice fast. I'm actually thinking of just diving right in tomorrow but he'll need a few more days to come off of the meat and all the other crap he used to eat and eating less. Trying to go for 15 days at least, I'd be happy if he made it to 3 days. We'll see. :)

    Hi everyone!! I am on day 3 of juice fasting (not fresh either, all I had on hand was R.W. Knudsen, so I know results will be different once I go fresh), and 6 pounds down! I've done raw before and lost 25 pounds in 13 days...so this time I'm hoping I will just last for 14-21 days so I can say I did it. Although, it started as a 3 day, then 5, up to 8, now 14, and I'm starting to think 30 days would be an absolutely amazing feat for me! Day 2 was the worst for me, absolutely, but I'm also quitting smoking and heavy drinking....that is a lot of toxins coming out of my poor, abused body. I can't wait to see my results in a month. I will stick to this and be proud of myself, and that is something I haven't been too much of lately! Good luck to all of you! It's such a great feeling to cleanse!
