I'm so proud of all of you, you are all doing such a wonderful job and at the same time being extremely inspiring. I'm going to do a juice fast as soon as my mum goes home in a week or so, (she wouldn't understand;) )

Does anyone have any information on Breastfeeding and fasting, i'm sure that if it was only for 7 days or so it wouldn't effect my milk supply.

Your all just so lovely for sharing (((HUGS)))

As an LLL Leader I just wanted to comment on fasting while breastfeeding, which is not generally recommended. Depending, however, on how old your child is you could consider a few factors:

--if your child is a baby (under one year) and bm makes up his/her primary source of calories, it's not recommended to fast because fewer calories can lower your supply of milk
--that said, if your child is over one and bm does NOT make up the primary source of nutrition then you might consider it IF you are careful to consume the same number of calories per day
--you might also consider supplementing with B-12 and flax seed oil during your juice fast
--keep in mind that toxins are released into your bloodstream during a fast, and they will go into your breastmilk.

Just some things to think about.

My girls are 2 and 3 so they get most of their nutrients from food these days, but i have been conserned about the release of toxins, i was of the thuoght that they would first leave through the bodys natural filtering and release ways like urine and fecaes so would that much really go through the breast milk?? I don't really want to risk making my girls sick, so it looks like another few years before a juice fast for me...lol

I am actually still nursing my 3 year old, but there is NO MILK in there. She just won't stop - must still need it! I felt ok going ahead and doing the fast, but I've waited a long time. ;)

I got Juice, :) Oh I got juice and now day 3. I've got a lot to do today, so my juice is ready, I got a gallon bottle of water and I am strapping up and puttung on my supergirl costume and I am packing up my craft and junk rooms. I am ready to purge (in all ways )


Ain't God good, I ask how to find away to keep fasting - Juicer is unpacked and hubby got a glass as well and we are doing it!

Hollar at you later

rofl you go Sweet lips! :)
Good morning everyone, how is everyone doing this great day #3?
I am doing quite well, had my oj this morning and am going to start juicing vegetables to. My orange case order with Whole Foods may not be into Tuesday so will use what oranges I have and start on stuff like carrot, cuke and hmm some of you are using hot peppers? lol may have to try this.
And of course all the green veggies for Alissa's favorite drink.
Have a great day folks, we are winning!

LOL...Sweetlips got her JUICE on!

Glad to see we are all doing so well and have made it to day 3..YAAAAY!

I feel really good this morning. Like Curtis, had my oj (with juice of half a lemon added) and I'm good to go for a little while. Had another one of those nights...felt the detox going on in my body but I meditated and prayed and had a wonderful nights sleep so much to the point that I woke up at 4:30 and wasn't even sleepy, tired or anything. But yall know this may mean a nap later on

But we'll see...might not even need the nap today.

Hey, I have a beet here and I'm not a big fan of them like a lot of folks are...anyone have a nice juice recipe that I can make using beet? Remember, I'm not one who loves the taste of beets, so make sure it's a good one please!

[Alissa]

Good morning! Day 3 yeah!!
Im thinking of moving this thread to the juicing section. That way people who are not doing it can still use this discussion forum and we are not hogging it all day by posting about our fasting. I think we will continue this in a few threads by the time we are done.
Sooo. Ill move this later to the juicing, sprouting section so look for it there.
Things are good! Lots of work today so i should be busy not thinking about food. Its only 7:30 here but already worked out and really not even hungry today. I think ill make an OJ soon and then a watermelon.
So proud of you all!

Excellent combo Curtis. Carrot is universally known as a wonderful juice and the high-water content of cukes make them good for almost any combo.

Hiya Sister Rawkinlocs,

I am not a big fan of beets either. They seem to make my juice taste like dirt! I haven't given up on them though. I think I just have to put much less beet in the juice and more carrots/apples/cukes/tomatos. Of course I put a little sea salt in mine for taste (also cleans me out better), but thats just me.

I actually LIKE beets in my juice. I usually juice 2 lbs. of carrots,one apple, one beet, celery and some greens. That gives me enough for one day.
