What to expect on my juice fast?

[KHo]

Hello,

Today is day two of my ten day juice fast and I have a few questions for some of the "seasoned" fasters.

What is the appropriate amount of juice to drink in a day? I have read some places that 64oz of Green Lemonade should be sipped throughout the day, but that seems too low. I have also seen some people drink up to 6 liters in a day. I realize everyone is different, but there must be a general guideline? I have been drinking about 4 liters per day. As a habit, I don't eat after 6:30pm at night, and though I am full when I push away from the table the last two nights, I am hungry at 8:30pm. I have opted for water and not juice, but I'm wondering if juice would be OK, or should I push through it and fight the urge?

As for detox, I'm told to expect some headaches and bad breath (oh, this had better be worth it ;-)

And then for the weight loss. I've seen many comments that show 10lbs. in 10 days, 25lbs. in 30 days, so roughly a pound a day. What are some of your results?

Any comments/insights are welcome!

I notice many different reactions when doing a juice fast and for me the need to want to eat usually goes around day 3. I also notice a clarity of thought and calmness almost as if my normal diet is upsetting me. One other point I could make is for me I found that my food intollerences which I always knew I had became worst when I came off the fast and started eating them the foods which did not agree with me. Maybe it was that I noticed them more... ie wheat products..

Everyone is unique and different. It all depend of your life style previously from your fast.

If you had coffee, eat a lot of fast food etc..., you could be very sick and have intensive side effect.

If you were vegetarian and eat organic food, you could find it quite easy and not too bad.

Some even though, they had a clean diet previously, will still experience heavy detox symptoms.

The more detox symptom you have, the more you are get ride of the dangerous toxin stored in your body. It is all good.

All the best to you!
