Day after feast fast
I don't know about you but I am still REALLY full. I am thinking about a fast to help out my overwhelmed insides. I have done a juice fast before with amazing results,but never to recover from over indulgence. Does anyone have any insight on this? Would that be too big of a shock for my system?

Advice please
I am not hungry and the idea of putting any more food in my mouth right now makes me want to gag. I still have not worked out today, other than cleaning. Feel free to look at my food diary,that is just what I have planned for dinner and evening snack. The question is... Do I listen to my body or force down more food?

Just remember......
A lot of those pounds on the scale today are un-digested food... Don't weigh until Monday!
