Juice Fast (Thoughts & Advice)

I tried it. It works! Certainly difficult at start but stick with it and you will be amazed. I lost 30lbs in 31 days. May not the best long term plan, but works for BMI30+ individuals imho.

The Different Juice Fasting Stages of Detoxification

A single cell within the human body is more complex than the most modern supercomputer. The process of removing a hundred thousand antigens, each with unique molecular properties, from trillions of functioning cells is indeed a complex process. Imagine three trillion cells being repaired during the function of countless biochemical processes needed for life. Even the best mechanics have to turn off the engine. Yet, the body has millions of micro mechanics that do this with ease.
One of the body’s automatic maintenance processes is the destruction of foreign microorganisms. When looking through a dark-field microscope, countless parasites are clearly visible. I observed parasites living inside blood cells. Several could be seen eating cholesterol, and I was amazed to see one swim. Watching lymphocytes moving in the blood was like a science-fiction movie. These complex, lymphocyte organisms attached themselves and engulfed toxins. As they did, their colorations flowed into fascinating patterns leaving me with a sense of wonder and respect for the miraculous ability and infinite complexity of the human body.

Fasting Detoxification Stages:
Here is an overview of the detoxification stages during a juice fast. The time periods are a general estimation.

Stage 1 (Day 1 To Day 2)
On the first day of fasting, the blood sugar level drops below 70 mg/dl. To restore the blood to the normal glucose level, liver glycogen is converted to glucose and released into the blood. This reserve is enough for half a day. The body then reduces the basal metabolic rate (BMR). The rate of internal chemical activity in resting tissue is lowered to conserve energy. The heart slows and blood pressure is reduced. Glycogen is pulled from the muscle causing some weakness. The first wave of cleansing is usually the worst.
Headaches, dizziness, nausea, bad breath, glazed eyes and a heavily coated tongue are signs of the first stage of cleansing. Hunger can be the most intense in this period unless the enema is used which quickly assists the body into the fasting state by ending digestion in the colon.

Stage 2 (Day 3 To Day 7)
Fats, composed of transformed fatty acids, are broken down to release glycerol from the gliceride molecules and are converted to glucose. The skin may become oily as rancid oils are purged from the body. People with problem-free skin may have a few days of pimples or even a boil. A pallid complexion is also a sign of waste in the blood. Ketones are formed by the incomplete oxidation of fats. It is suspected that the ketones in the blood suppress the appetite by affecting the food-satiety center in the hypothalamus. You may feel hungry for the first few days of the fast. This effect is temporary. The desire to eat will disappear. Lack of hunger may last 40 to 60 days, depending on whether you are on water or juice.
The body embraces the fast and the digestive system is able to take a much-needed rest, focusing all of its energies on cleansing and healing. White blood cell and immune system activity increases. You may feel pain in your lungs. The cleansing organs and the lungs are in the process of being repaired. Periodically, the lymphatic system expels mucoid matter through the nose or throat. The volume excreted of this yellow-colored mucus can be shocking. The sinuses go through periods of being clogged, then will totally clear. The breath is still foul and the tongue coated. Within the intestine, the colon is being repaired and impacted feces on the intestinal wall start to loosen.

Stage 3 (Day 8 to Day 15)
On the latter part of an extended fast, you can experience enhanced energy, clear-mindedness and feel better than you have felt since childhood. On the downside, old injuries may become irritated and painful. This is a result of the body’s increased ability to heal during fasting. If you had broken your arm 10 years before, there is scar tissue around the break. At the time of the break, the body’s ability to heal was directly related to lifestyle. If you lived on a junk-food diet, the body’s natural healing ability was compromised.
During fasting, the body’s healing process is at optimum efficiency. As the body scours for dead or damaged tissue, the lymphocytes enter the older, damaged tissue secreting substances to dissolve the damaged cells. These substances irritate the nerves in the surrounding region and cause a reoccurrence of aches from previously injured areas that may have disappeared years earlier. The pain is good as the body is completing the healing process. The muscles may become tight and sore due to toxin irritation. The legs can be the worst affected, as toxins accumulate in the legs. Cankers are common in this stage due to the excessive bacteria in the mouth. Daily gargling with salt and water will prevent or heal cankers.

Stage 4 (Day 16 to Day 30)
The body is completely adapted to the fasting process. There is more energy and clarity of mind. Cleansing periods can be short with many days of feeling good in between. There are days when the tongue is pink and the breath is fresh. The healing work of the organs is being completed. After the detoxification mechanisms have removed the causative agent or render it harmless, the body works at maximum capacity in tissue proliferation to replace damaged tissue. While a short fast will reduce the symptoms, a longer fast can completely heal. Homeostatic balance is at optimum levels. The lymphatic system is clean except for a rare discharge of mucus through the nose or throat. After day 20, the mind is affected. Heightened clarity and emotional balance are felt at this time. Memory and concentration improve.

Stage 5 (Breaking the Fast)
The sticky, toxic, mucoid coating on the intestinal wall is loose, and the first meal frees it from the intestinal wall. Toxins enter the blood through the colon. The gallbladder dumps its waste in a heavy discharge of bile. This can cause an instant bowel movement upon eating followed by intense diarrhea. If the symptoms are too uncomfortable, an enema will help.

Breaking A Fast: Guidelines
For six days, gradually increase the amount of raw fruits and vegetables in your diet. To break a fast and gorge on meat, bread or junk food will be a disaster. Jarring the system this intensely, when the digestive system is re-awakening, can cause stomach cramps, nausea and weakness, negating some of the benefits of a fast.

First day: Eat a piece of fruit in the morning and a small bowl of raw vegetable salad for lunch; vegetable broth also is good. Drink freshly made juice for the rest of the day.

Second day: Soaked prunes or figs for breakfast. Small bowl of fresh vegetable salad for lunch. Vegetable soup made without salt at dinner. Two apples or a fruit salad eaten between meals. All this in addition to freshly made juices and broths.

Third day: Same as the second day, but add a handful of dates or raisins.

Fourth day: You may return to the diet you have chosen, but it is important to listen to your stomach, eat smaller meals, chew your food and eat according to hunger.

NOTE: When breaking a fast over ten days, a good rule of thumb is that the break-in period should be extended one day for every 4 days of fasting. When breaking from water fasting, go to a juice fast for two days or eat sweet fruits like oranges, mangoes or pears.

Healthy Eating Habits
1. Eat slowly and chew your food well. Saliva has enzymes that assist in digestion. The enzymes in saliva can digest up to 80 percent starch, 30 percent protein and 10 percent fat.
2. Do not overeat! Listen to your body. Discover the amount of food that your body needs to live a vibrant, healthy life.
3. Decide ahead of time what you want to eat and the amount rather than eating from an urge.
4. Make juices during the breaking period. Juice is gentle nourishment to the body. Most fasters continue to include juice in their daily routine for the rest of their lives.
5. Be relaxed. Try to unwind when eating.
6. Stay focused on eating rather than on unsettling thoughts. Pay attention to the texture, smell and the sensation of eating. Be aware of how it feels in the stomach.
7. Enjoy eating to the max. People are starving and you have the privilege to eat.
8. Work at making healthy food appealing. A banana and pear taste great without preparation but having them sliced into a fancy bowl, sprinkled with chopped dates and chilled in the refrigerator will maintain your enthusiasm for eating healthy.
9. Discern the difference between cravings and hunger. Never feed your emotions by eating from stress, depression or boredom.
10. You will feel satisfied with smaller amounts of food and sluggish and tired when overeating. Rich foods full of fat, salt and processed sugars will cause nausea, headaches and weakness. A handful of fruit will be thoroughly satisfying. Because the digestive system has to work less, there will be boundless energy to spare.
11. Have an exit activity for after eating. Make it something you want to do. It will be easier to move away from the table.
12. Educate yourself on how to begin a lifestyle of healthy eating. Fasting is a wonderful new beginning, a foundation for a lifelong, healthy diet

My sincere thanks to all the original known and unknown contributors in my reboot program.

@ Memega - Great info, thanks

I rebooted for the first time back in October, i did a 15 day standard reboot, which allows you to eat a vegan diet, mostly plant based. I know theres a lot of people who use the protein part as an excuse, but consider this, it is called a fast for a reason. you're not supposed to drink nothing but juice for the rest of your life. It is a fast. As in "a certain amount of time" Now that said, protein wise, it doesnt affect your body. The first 3 days were very tough cause your body goes through a cleansing period but on the 4th day, you're a brand new person. Healthier, happier. I actually went on 30 days instead of the 15th. I felt on top of the world!! I had tons of energy and i was genuinely happier, i didnt need any more antidepressants! My cholesterol and triglycerides went down significantly, my skin looked better, i had a glow!!
Who wants to give up a feeling that wonderful? After my reboot was done, i decided to incorporate it into my daily routine and my mil went along with me. For her, her hair got thicker, fuller and she had an overall feeling of health.

then in december i tried to fast, and even with a vegan diet it was tough! I only lasted 3 days before i had to eat something..but if you can tough it out DO IT!! seriously, i now drink about 50 oz a day plus food and i feel great. so hard to describe, but i promise you it is one of the best feelings in the world!! my energy level is unparallel and my mood..well i actually tried to get mad the other day on purpose cause nothing faced me!

As far as the tastes goes, i defnitely recommend the mean green juice, it isnt the best tasting but it's great for your body. If you're picky, start with stuff you like and get adventurous as you progress. Feel free to add me, i love making juicehead friends!!


Also i should add, i lost 10 lbs by introducing juices into my lifestyle. And no, you do not get hungry. Juice are just as satisfying if not more so than regular meals, you dont feel stuffed when juicing. And no, this is not a crash diet. Its a lifestyle geared towards wellness. It should not be looked into as a tool to magically make lbs disappear. Try it on for its health benefits, you will not regret it.

Definitely gonna try this!

Amazing research. Thanks!!!

you will feel amazing but be prepared to shutdown your social life for the period of the cleanse!

I was having digestive tract issues. My doctor recommended probiotics and a juice fast. The first day was hard, but it got easier. I felt wonderful. I planned to do it for 3 or 4 days, but I felt so good I kept going for seven days. That was enough time for me. The fast wiped out any cravings I had. I felt like I was starting fresh. I didn't do it for weight loss and didn't notice any change on the scale.

I recommend trying to eat very clean in the days before you start the cleanse. It will help your body adjust.

I just started my juice fast yesterday I wasn't hungry at all all day I was just so used to eating or chewing that that was the hardest thing for me. The smell of food was hard to ignore, but I felt good. My mind was the worst thing to get over, but after I got done with the first day It gave me confidence. I think I can do it! ^_^
