feel awful after three days of juices only

[marilynj55]

I have a feeling I have a whole lot of toxins in my body that react badly when I do juices for several days in a row.

Has this happened to anybody else? The first day of doing juices only I feel great, zingy and full of energy. Then pretty much without fail, going into the third day I start feeling sluggish and as if I am living in a gooey fog. It's awful.

I just don't know what to do to get my body so it can tolerate what I think ought to be healthy for it.

Any ideas?

juice fasting is detoxing. the longer you fast the more toxins your body is able to release. are you eating a raw live diet in between your fasts? that will assist you to detox at a slower rate as a raw diet is detoxing on it's own.

the longer you are raw... the less toxins you will release while fasting.

on my fasts 3rd / 4th days are usually the worst

at about day 5 i feel light and energized

yes still big cravings hit , but after over
the big urge to eat for say 30 minutes
i settle down for many hours

I followed the juice feasting protocol when I fasted and did the enemas that david rainochek recommended. Unfun as they were, they decreased my suffering substantially and I was able to do what most people can't while fasting and that is work, which at that time I was doing labor intensive housecleaning. But I highly recommend getting your rest. Also please take great care when resuming eating. It's challenging to gracefully begin eating without losing control. Use us for moral support!
