I am finishing my 60 fast today and I cooked for my family and also catered bbq's while on my fast. Make sure to juice prior to making any meals and keep it handy so when you are tempted you can take a drink of juice instead. The other thing I found helpful was to keep a kitchen towel on my shoulder at all times. I do this…

I'm going to have to try the smooth move tea. I haven't done that yet and it may be easier for when I don't have time to lay around :-) The coffee enema was the hardest to deal with for me. I don't consume caffiene so I felt awful when I was done. I had a horrible headache, body shakes and felt all jittery. Of course,…

I think the way you did the broth was great. I do boil mine with all the veggies in it, then strain. Just like I would a chicken or beef broth. I think either way works fine. It's just something for me that helps with the cravings and also makes me feel really full. Congrats on making it through your first day!!! Its…

I'm not sure of the juice gods condone this or not, but its worked fantastic for me. I make homemade veggie broth with lots of herbs and spice. I use onions, carrots, celery, leeks, hot peppers, lemon. Anything I can get my hands on. Its delicious and keeps me full when I drink a hot cup of it. I don't know how other…

Thanks, I appreciate the support. I hit a plateau the last week, but it seems to have let go over the weekend and I am down 47.4 pounds. I can't believe day 60 is approaching so fast. I told my husband I am tempted to extend my journey to possibly a 100 day fast but i'm not sure yet. Maybe it will be good to test out my…

Hi Golightly, congratulations on starting a juice fast. Today is day 52 for me and I am down 47.4 pounds. I completely agree with curvycarrie..it takes time to feel fantastic, so don't give up. Stay the course and if you have any problems feel free to add me. My struggle was that I still cook for a husband and daughter…

I am on day 49 of my juice fast and I am feeling fantastic. I think sometimes its hard to stick it out the first few days with all the crappy symptoms (pardon the pun). Your going to feel tired, get headaches, spend time in the bathroom, etc because your body is getting rid of all the junk that you have been putting in it.…

I juices beets every morning since I am anemic and I find them at my local grocery store. I generally buy organic beets and you will want to make sure the tops are attached as they leaves are also very good for you. I find that they generally come in a bundle of 3 and you can choose either variety of red or yellow. The…

I have an Omega Vrt 350HD and absolutely love it!! However, be aware that if you got a masticating juicer you will want to cut up your veggies (especially celery and pineapple) which tend to be very stringy. There are tons of youtube videos with helpful hints on how to get these juicers to work great and yield a ton of…
