Congrats on making it a day! cool! sometimes I wish I had a centrifugal juicer for the days I dont want to stand in the kitchen forever, feeding a carrot through one at a time. does yours have a big mouth that fits more than one carrot? lol Is it fairly easy to clean? Mine is easy, just time consuming to clean.
tonight my "life regenerator recipe' juice for dinner was just nasty. It used quite a it of produce so I sucked about 1/3 of it down (it made about a quart) while thinking about the weightloss.. lol and how good it is for me. sigh.. so far I haven't liked any juices I've tried that had tomatoes in it.
I'm exhausted today. I feel an early bedtime comin on. I'm excited for good sweet juice tomorrow.

My juicer is very easy to clean. At the most it took maybe 3 min's. Yes, it has a big mouth, I put in 3 large carrots and 1/2 apple at the same time. I got a lot of greens today so will be using some tomorrow. I find that I like fruit in my juices or at least carrots to make them taste really great. Sleep well my new raw food friend.

I made it for 1 2/3 days. Either having a huge detox or one of my TIA's is about to happen. I hope that it is a detox.

I'm starting my first day of juicing...I'm shooting for a "juice fasting" regime for 30 days. My longest was 20 days without eating, doing a master cleanse, so I'm thinking this should be easier than that. At least there will be more variety in juicing!
I don't know how long I will last as i have a family to feed. But I sure would love any support thrown my way!

Lightstray, welcome-good to see you here!I hear ya on having a family, it's hard! The smells etc. not helpful!
I've noticed that all I the more hearty soupy-tasting juices I've tried, I havent loved them. My body is craving something v8-ish and I'm not ure how to go about that. I'm scared to try because I threw out a big batch of juice last night. I can't affor to keep doing that. What do you guys make around dinner time? I'm doing fruity juice w light greens at breakfast, light green juices w less fruit for lunch and I really want heavier tasting meals for dinner.
I've been extra grumpy today. I don't know that I buy into the whole "your body is detoxing old feelings and emotions" stuff, I think it's just a crazy day and I can't eat. Lol. Today juicing feels less like a beautiful thing and more like a chore. I hope tomorrow is better.
How is everyone? I don't wanna hog this thread.Last edited by Hippo2Hippie; 08-03-2012 at 07:09 PM.

Allright. I'm in on this for 14 days. This is my first juice-only fast, so we'll see how it goes. I'm getting ready to have my mercury fillings removed and want to be squeaky-clean before potentially releasing more mercury into my system.

All the best on your journey, i will join you today with a water fasting. I find this is easier for me to do, result are faster, no need to prepare any juice just filling my water bottle before going to work.
So day 1 water fasting, i woke up very exciting about doing this, it is like giving a treat to my body and i am giving myself permission to claim my power back and proclaiming "I am free and happy". Knowing that all is well.Blessings and love

Made several kinds of juice last night and enjoying them today--tomato blend (made for supper and had pt. left over--note to self that it tastes better same day when made), pineapple cucumber gazpacho, and carrot and dino kale with a little lime juice which came out quite tasty. Have added taking chlorella tablets and will start adding spirulina to some of the blends.
Feeling so energized and lighter.
Hope everyone is doing well. Great to be here.Nothing cooked tastes as good as raw feels...Author: SedonaSun

Congratulation everyone for making another day!
Day 2 water fast: Yesterday was easy except to have to deal with a migraine. It went away after an enema. I started to have hunger in the evening but it went away after i affirmed: "I AM free now". Today i want to connect more with nature, feel the wind, the sun and will go for a swim today if the weather allow it. I love it so much not to have to make a lunch for work, yeah....I can spend more time to do spiritual healing.
All the best!Blessings and love

Day 42
Hello fellow fasters :)
Came to check in... I'm still trucking along although I haven't been active at all in here. I feel bad cuz I know some of you could really use support, especially the ones in their first couple of weeks. I will be more active after these next 2 weeks. For now I'd like to say, Just keep it ONE day at a time. Shoot for small goals, because when u accomplish those, it will keep you going. :) Congrats to all of you for making it another day! Remember not many people are willing to do this kind of stuff, it takes alot of will power and determination. :)

Day 3 water fasting:
I got a box of fresh produce yesterday, and i could see them as great potential for juicing but i am doing the water fast. I could smell the mint and so sweet. My family will have a fest instead, lol.... My sensitive enhance with the water fast. It was tempted to brake my water fast into a juice fast but no way, i want my freedom more then anything.
I started to detox more yesterday. I got those migraine again but it was more toward the end of the day. Again the enema, took care of it. I started to have them again before going to bed and being very tired, so i just slept. I woke up with short of breath and i saw that my lungs are releasing more junk. So glad about this. Anyway, i am feeling better. I have to remember to take deep breath before i get up to avoid dizziness. The blood pressure lower during a water fast and this is totally normal. I am so happy about this water fast and affirming that i am free and happy.Blessings and love
