  1. Juice fast day 7 - breaking the fast at night

    I don't know if Advil had anything to do with it, but today I started feeling attracted to foods. Because last time I didn't listen and kept fasting, I had hard time not overeating, so this time I decided to listen to my body signals. And it definetely works - I have much easier time eating sensibly.I ate some apples and some cucumbers and I am feeling fine for now.

  2. Juice fast day 6- migraine

    I wasn't able to shake my headache and it grew worse, so this morning I had to have Advil - I crushed it and mixed it with water so my stomach wouldn't get upset. I posted a question about it and was so happy to find out, that it is not dangerous to take it, even though it is not so great, of course. On water fast as much as I know people can use medication just for 3 days, after that it can be dangerous.
    It didn't take off all the pain, but made it bearable.
    I had mostly ...

  3. JUice fast day 5 - lower energy

    Today I am not feeling that great. Maybe because my son woke up crying at 3 a.m. with swolen toe, so I had to give him painkillers and calm him down and even though we lost an hour of sleep, he still woke up at six.

On the fifth day drinking Advil might be not a good idea. Hopefully it won't. Sorry.
    I just don't get it- why my ...

  4. Juice fast day 4

    It feels kind of silly counting each day, but I can't figure out better way to call my blogs.
    Feeling pretty good.
    Now that I got confirmation, that greens speed up detox, I am careful about how much I put in my juice. I am kind of playing around to see how much push me to less comfortable level. I do want to detox, but I rather do it slower and more pleasant way. Especially that I have to take care of my son, and can't take a nap or even lie down(for more than a few minutes), ...

  5. Juice fast day 3- feeling wonderful

    It is true that every fast is different. So I felt quite weak from first day's afternoon till second day's afternoon. Then suddenly it changed, and I feel great. I did reduced greens in my juices- so maybe that. Or maybe moon phases? Whatever it was now I am enjoying my fast again. I might even try light workout today.
    Yesterday night I went to my garden plot and made myself a juice from my own tomatoes and some asparagus from the store- delicious!
    This morning I had 2 red grapefruit ...
