When doing a grape only diet for a few days, how many pounds of grapes should I use?

[Meat_Juice]

I use only 3 pounds of grapes per day, but I am not sure if that is enough.

[Aleesha Sattva]

I'd say no it isn't but it's up to you. I'm not sure why you are doing this fast... but since your digestion won't go into sleep-mode you will be hungry, so why not eat as many as you desire?

Fasting can be hard enough without limiting ourselves even further.

[Meat_Juice]

No, but I was planning on working on my lymphatic system. Dr. Robert Morse and the user cintronbrandon suggested people can do grapes for lymphatic system if they wanted to help clean out their bodies.

There's other ways to clean yourself out isn't there besides fasting? I mean I was thinking of doing a grape diet(well NOT a diet, but more like a cleanse) when I heard about this.

Yes, just eating raw fruit, veggies, greens, seeds and nuts.

Hi MJ ~ I just finished up a grape fast (also through Dr. Morse - & I also subscribe to Brandon's channel). I made it to day 8 and I'm really pleased about that. Here's what I did every day. I drank 1 quart of grape juice, 1 - 1 1/2 quarts of watermelon juice, ate as many grapes as I wanted, and tried to get in lemon water using the juice of 2-4 lemons.

I'm also taking Dr. Morse's detox kits and am excited as my husband and I have a telephone appt. with him in less than a week.

I was surprised at how the lymph was moving during the fast and that appears to have slowed down since stopping the fast - but I did that as long as I could. Dr. M recommends fruit, berries & melon during the detox - unless you're going deeper, more agressively with the grape fast. Best wishes!

DebB, may I ask how you could tell that "the lymph was moving during the fast and that appears to have slowed down since stopping the fast"?

I attempted grape fast sevearl times. But every time my body protested within three days: I craved vegetables and salty foods and it was hard to endure the sweet sour taste of grapes. Didn't you have that problem? (I ate only flesh and skin, not grape seeds.)

[Aleesha Sattva]

skins are so hard to digest... i would think that eating them skinless and seedless would be best???

I am sure Deb will answer you when she gets a chance but my guess is from what come out from your stool and urine. When the lymph works, it cleanse the stuff and your urine isn't clear. Some people will even see nasty stuff.

Hi joyce09 ~ Raw Angel Mom is right on the mark - mucous in stool and urine. And now through my nose and coughing. My coughing yesterday was almost what I would consider 'violent' (sounds pretty dramatic, I know) and today that has eased thankfully.

And since stopping the fast I was doing, the mucous elimination has slowed - not stopped, just slowed.

I didn't feel I could do only grapes, I knew I'd get tired of that too quickly. That's why I added the watermelon juice and that was enough for me to break it up a bit. My husband is now on day 2 of grape & apple juice fasting as he just started his first detox kit yesterday.

The grapes we've been getting are black and are called Samson's and they BIG! And they're so sweet that yesterday I had to cut the grape juice with a tart apple and lemon juice and then I still couldn't drink it all. Super sweet.

I stopped the fast because on day 7 (I was on day 4 of a headache) the headache wore me down and I vomitted that evening. Try as I might the next day, my body was done with the fast - I couldn't make myself eat/drink any of it. I was detoxing pretty aggressively that first week...

I hope this answered your questions - I'm happy to share! *Ü*

[joyce09]

Raw Angel Mom and DebB, thank you both for taking time to answer my question.
'
DebB, I almost envy your detox. I never had anything close to that. So do you think grape is the major ingredient that brought about the detox?
I do hope your first wave of detox is over by now and you have smooth sailing for some time.

[DebB]

I think it was the fasting along with the herbs - I started them both on the same day. My husband is on Day 2 of both the herbs and grape/apple fast and he's already passing mucous in his stool. Lovely conversation material, I know!

He's been drinking the Heal All Tea for about a month and had a "cold" that lasted over 2 weeks. He calls it a cold, I call it detox. He's getting old dark matter from his sinuses as well (he does sinus flushes daily with a Neil Med sinus rinse. Sorry if this grosses anyone out!

[joyce09]

DebB, Thank you for sharing the detox tips. Let us know how you and your hubby feel after the your herb/fruit fasting is done. I hope the detox symptoms are manageable for both of you.

Maybe but red grape skins have tons of antioxidants.

if your body is slowing down it's digestion because of the fast you are doing... then chances are it isn't absorbing the nutrients from the skins. if i were to have the skins in the fast, i would blend them first!

[Aleesha Sattva]

joyce, if you want to experience detox... do a water fast. nothing detoxes you faster.

[joyce09]

Yes Alleesha. But I do not have enough motivation to do a water fast right now.

[Aleesha Sattva]

I was just adding in some more info... not suggesting you do one. (((hugs)))
