I have been fasting for two days in a row, drinking only some cocktail of tea and juice. It tasted good, and I did …

All throughout the material I have studied for school a lot of it states that fasting is most beneficial if done properly. So, I decided to go outside my books and find the medical studies that back it up. It turns out yes fasting is great for you and very beneficial- if done properly. I decided if I am going to recommend fasting to anyone of my clients I should probably give it a try. I mean when I was younger I fasted to lose weight which I learned that is horrible to do and well the fasting was cigarettes and sodie pop. LOL Not exactly done right and I could have really hurt myself!!! My point is I have the will but can I survive in my “old” age to fast for 1-3 days?
Well, day one and I am on a juice fast focusing on detoxing. I have a “menu” of juices all planned out, herbal teas and fresh filtered water to drink. So far so good! I am enjoying a juice that consists of pineapple, orange, strawberries, and grapes. It’s quite yummy and oddly filling. I bet it’s going to be like Chinese food though…a half hour later I am going to be starving. LOL The only downfall to all of this aside from probably feeling icky from detoxing is I have to clean that juicer all the time. I know I will eventually cut my fingers, oh, that’s inevitable! Heh
Anywho…Today is a rainy day with thunder here and there. I am loving it! The windows are open and a gentle rain is falling outside. I bought a bunch of books for my fasting so I can sit and read, however, when it’s rainy like this I like to sew so I may whip out the sewing machine and do a bit of sewing. I am still deciding whether or not I wish to study for school. This is my last module before the final!!! I am excited! :)
I hope everyone is well!

I have done juice fasts before - they always help me feel healthy and calm. Except mine are smoothies, not pure juice - the whole fruit goes in. I have occasionally fasted just having water for a couple of days, but I don't do that any more - I like having smoothies. :-)
They say you are hungry for the first day or two just because your body is in the habit of eating regularly, but then your hunger goes away. That has been true for me. Will you have stock too - where you boil water and put onions and veggies in, and then just drink the water with all the veggie flavour in? I like to do that, because I don't have a very sweet tooth, so I find too many fruit juices too sweet.
Good luck with your fast. It's raining here too, and has been raining for the last few weeks, and I am fed up of the rain!

Actually right now I am having a salad in a glass and its quite yummy! Its romain lettuce, tomato, celery, carrot and a red bell pepper. I noticed for my breakfast and snack that the more fruitie juices were starting to get way too sweet for me! I may have to cut them with some filtered water.
Right now its just a juice fast to experiance what its like. Like I said if I am going to recommend it to my clients I better know exactly what they will be going through. I might do as you suggested later on another fast with kicking some broth in. Right now its just a test with juice, filtered water, and tea (particularly dandelion tea) as I am focusing on detoxing the liver. :D
Thanks for your support! *hugs*

I would love to hear updates on this. I would love to try this but really cannot for medical reasons.
Your salad in a glass does sound delish!
