My 7-Day Juice Fast Experience: Day 3

in #food7 years ago

Today has been a stressful one, to say the least. I have a nasty habit of eating when I get stressed out so I've had a strong craving to give up on my juice fast today. I know this wasn't simply because my body was telling me that I was hungry. I have not had any hunger pains or any other indication that I wasn't doing right by my body's standards so I was able to stay strong and put food out of my mind. Instead, I kept myself busy by catching up on work, playing outside with all of the kids and practicing yoga.

I made up two pitchers of juice today. The first one was a mix of mangoes, pineapple, and oranges. It was a perfect blend for the morning when I need the extra boost of energy. The second pitcher I made was a green juice made up of spinach, kale, celery, kiwi, chard, romaine lettuce, green apples, and pears. It was sweet, but hearty and filled me up quite a bit throughout the times I would normally eat my lunch and dinner.

I'm hoping that tomorrow won't be quite so difficult to pull through.

it will get easier with some time..look up mater cleanser juice fast... this I s recipe by leonard horawitz from his book healing celebrations...actually I would really recommend getting his book...so may goo thngs. but that juice fast is amazing...I have done it and I do it still every so often

I'll check that out, thanks!

any fast is difficult.. this one I suggested tho will raise your PH super high for a bit.. kills off anything that might be compromising things...like unhealthy yeasts and such

master cleanser..sorry for the typo

also I would suggest to add spirulina powder to your smoothies. if you want to continue them the way you are doing
your blood sugar will be taken care of by the spirulina powder

I'm doing straight juice right now, no smoothies, but now that I'm getting back into working out again I'll probably start making them. Before my workouts I used to make smoothies with a vegan protein powder called Spirutine, which had quite a bit of spirulina in it.

I juice, I fast and im vegan as well!
Thanks for the value! 🙏
