I'm currently on Day 12 of my juice fast and I am finding that I have no desire to drink the juices anymore. My question is should I force myself to drink them now or just wait for my appetite to return? The first few days of my fast I took in around 40-60 oz a day and yesterday I drank only maybe 10 oz; I am drinking herbal teas 2-3 times a day too.
The length of my fast still hasn't been determined. My doctor said one week is all I would need to get my digestive system working again but I want to go at least 18 days. The reason behind the number 18 is the longest I've fasted was 17 days, and that was with zero nutrition, but in a hospital on pain medication; so I want to go at least a day longer by my own power. Utimately though I think I want to go for 45 days... I just want to see how I feel day 18 before I commit fully to 45.
Will my appetite return in a few days... does it come and go with a long fast?
