How Often To Fast

[petlady]

How often can/should a person juice fast? I did my first juice fast about two months ago. It was pretty short but went well. Only about three weeks later though, I felt like I needed to do another one which lasted for four days and could have gone longer.

That was only about a month ago. Now I feel the need to do a juice fast again. I feel like I'm all clogged up (in general, not sinuses) and generally icky. I went to the grocery store yesterday and almost felt sick. Nothing appealed to me. I had to force myself to eat a banana and some almonds so I wouldn't get sick for real.

Does this sound normal? I haven't gone through a lot of detoxing with my previous fasts but I always feel better during/after them. My family thinks I've lost my mind.

I try and fast one week a month evry month and 2 weeks or more twice a year. I felt exactly like you described after a few weeks without - run down and felt the need to fast again.

It is really important to just listen to your body, do what feels best for you.
