Hello everybody,
I'm planning on doing a fruit and veggit juice fast starting tomorrow. I have tried the MC fast with no success. I do admire those of you can do it. I've never lasted longer than a day no matter how many times I've tried. I have blood sugar issues and drinking maple syrup and citrus juice makes me feel awful -- worse than if I didn't eat or drink anything at all. Fruit juice fast is a little easier, but I feel like I drink pure sugar water. However, I have found that combinations of greens and fruits seem to do the trick. Juice of peeled oranges causes blood sugar spike for me. Curiously, juice of unpeeled oranges does not. Besides, it has that "creamy" and mildly sweet taste that is so yummy. Add some celery or swiss chard to that and I have a perfect combo.
Anyway, here's the question: will I get the benefits of the fast if I do a fuit and veggie juice fast? For sure, it's not as cleansing as the MC fast. Should I even bother?
Thanks in advance for any advice or info.
