I've been beating around the bush for a while now but it's time for a full-on juice feast.
I've been easing myself into it for the past few days now having only few solids so I wouldn't shock my system. I want to start this fall feeling renewed after a summer juice feast, I've always felt so good drinking juices so I thought why not go all the way for a while. After months of just raw food, I have had a few tortilla chip indulgences this summer only to feel awful afterward, which is just a slap-in-the face reminder to me!
After eating raw food, cooked foods like fried corn tortillas just make feel terrible
I want to adjust to my own juice regime so I'm starting today with all juices except I will eat watermelon as it is, and I'll continue this unless I decide to juice it as well. No limits for me, just an abundance of fruit and veggie juices. My juicer is gonna get a workout...
My question to anybody who has completed a juice fast before, is what were your experiences with mixing, or "juice" combining between fruits and veggie juices? Seeing as how juices digest much faster than solids, how far apart (if at all) would you recommend drinking fruit juices and veggie juices? I mix certain foods, I made a grape juice with romaine lettuce juice yesterday and it tasted very pleasant and seemed to settle very well. I know I will adjust as time goes on.
Juice feasting seems like such a smart idea right now especially, I'm excited to see the changes that may come along.
