Hey all,

I just started a juice fast today and I have heard the first the days are the worst. What kind of side effects can I expect to feel? Someone told me that I should have prepared a well before hand? Will this make it worse, since I just jumped in? I would love to hearyour experiences.
Thanks,
Panda

    Some side effects I had were fatigue, migraines, irritability....that's pretty much what I experienced. Good luck :) I need to reboot soon, unfortunately life is way too hectic right now

    I didn't experience any negative side effects but I had already eliminated animal products and caffeine before I started . . .

    Thanks ladies,
    So far just into day two, I spent most of day one nauseous. Today I honestly spent most of it in bed, with mild flu like symptoms. I really hope this isn't what I can expect foot the whole 5 days. If so I'm not entirely sure I can do this.

    What juices are you doing? Are you following the specific recipes for the 5 day fast on the website? I think I'd like to do the 3 day just to try it out. But, I'm also training to run a full 5k, so I have a training plan that calls for 3-5 days a week of exercise with specifically 3 days of jogging. Not sure how I'll do with that if I'm juicing. Curious for input and to see how the rest of yours went!
