So, I decided to embark upon a green smoothie fast. I've never done anything like this before...

There is a green smoothie thread in the fasting section you may want to check out.

I find that the more knowledge you gain the less intimidating/daunting/scary fasting becomes.

If you were REALLY fasting (meaning straight water for a length of time), I'd be somewhat concerned but since all you're doing is drinking blended produce... AND, receiving more nutrients than you could possibly chew... You're actually feasting, not fasting.

Well, i'm starting this saturday May 1st dinking green! Getting excited, because i loose weight when i do this and another added bonus, rest my intestines- less stress on them since i was recently discharged from the hospital with a small bowel obstruction due to SAD DIET mixing it with RAW. Looking forward to releasing, living. See ya on the other side of health, HEALTHY!:)

I think about doing this too but whenever I start I get tired of something sweet and want something else. It's usually a salad with avocado. So maybe I can do my version which would be smoothie fast during the day and salad at night.

It's usually a salad with avocado.

Blend them. Smoozies are not always sweet.

Very well said, Revvell!

Revvell...I think it's also the crunch factor too. Today I have had nothing but juice and my tummy is makin' some strange noises..hehe.

I am ready to munch on some salad. But I am happy that I am not going for the mega fattening mega salty stuff. Just a salad with a bit of avocado will be nice.

I tried one a year ago. I really felt good doing it. Used a lot of greens in most of my smoothies. It really felt good to my body.
