Are there any good "meal" plans for Juice Fasting? I would like to make sure I get everything I need during my fast which I am building up to soon. I saw the sticky for favorites but not exactly a plan or anything.

While I am at it I've been reading around here and found that supplements are bad during fasting, but what about probiotics and herbal cleansing stuff. I have for example, the "CleanseSMART" system. Perhaps I should do that first then fast?

Do banana's count for anything in the fast? Would it be ok to blend them into my juice?

I've also read that you can pretty much mix anything you want for juicing, is this literally true or are there certain veggies and fruits that don't mix well?

I also have a bunch of spirulina and chlorella, but they are in tablet form... I'd like to continue taking these, but are they technically solid so not good for a juice fast or what? I don't have any powder forms of these.

I'm on day 3 now. I feel GREAT, I did feel some detox effects later in the first day but not at all yesterday.

I made some of Allissa's tomato juice I saw in another thread, it came out EXTRA spicy(I didn't really measure the spices very well) so I drowned it in some more veggie juice. Still very spicy but good ;)

I ended up not taking the spirulina/chlorella tablets or herbal supplements, but I am taking the last of the probiotics I had. I also have been having a banana every few hours, today I have 3 left so they'll be gone.

I also made some lemonade last night and sweetened it with stevia, it was fantastic. I'll never buy the powdered kind again. I haven't lost any weight though, maybe because I am getting a huge amount of nutrients from juice and the banana's.

I just hope when I actually go 100% all juice I don't detox too hard, I am 291lbs as of today and not a picture of health. Though I can't wait to post my before and after photo's ;)

On another note I looked through the RAW foods pictures and was drooling! I can't wait to try out some of those foods. But even though I am fasting and drooling over the pictures I have no desire to quit! Guess that's a good sign.:dance:

Congrats on starting your fast!! I am just completing my first 30 day fast today and am still a novice at it but it went very well. The only thing I know about bananas is that they keep your digestion going. The main point of juice fasting is to slow digestion down enough so that your body can use it's energy to restore instead of sending it all to the stomach which uses huge amounts of energy to process food. I know people do use spirulina and chlorella powder in their juices and that is fine to do.

There is a monthly juice fasting thread that is a good support as you go along. Wishing you the very best~
