i'm doing a juice fast. i juice a few different things but for the most part i use carrots, spinach, fennel, apples... garlic or ginger as well.

i don't take anything else at all. although i am doing a 30 day cleanse this time around (renew life - cleanse smart)

so, is protein all that important during a fast? there is protein in veges... like broccilli and brussels sprouts... but does it really matter?

i want to do this right... but i also want it to be as simple as possible.

i have this list for myself so i thought i'd share it with you all:

Aparagus is excellent with carrot.
Beets are excellent with carrots or apple.
Broccilli - carrot or apple. - high in protien
Brussels Sprouts - only a few - high in protien
Cabbage - healing stomach - drink within 60 seconds - mix with carrot/celery
Carrots - VERY healthy - high in calcium
Celery - blood builder - mix with carrots or apple
Cucumber - natural cooler
Collards - high in calcium
Fennel - good for eyes and headaches
Garlic - very healing. one a day.
Ginger root - heals throat - juice small piece with carrots
Kale - high in calcium
Lettuce - juice with any vege
Spanish onions - same as garlic
Parsley - hard on juicer so put in carrot at the same time. VERY healing
Peppers - juice stem, seeds etc - add to any other veges
Potato - heals gastric disorders after 10 days. red potatos with eyes are best.
Radishes - calm a sore throat - add to any vege juice
Spinach - cleanses and heals intesxtinal tract. juice with any veges
Sweet Potato (yam) - darker is best. will make juice a milkshake like taste. You can live on these alone and thrive well.

Note: sweet pot, radish, parsley, ginger, garlic, spanish onion all good when you are sick.
