    Default Chlorella/spirulina powder while juice fasting.

    I'm juice fasting 40 days, and I started to add chlorella and spirulina powder to my juice few times pr day.

    Does anyone have experience with this..

    Does it activate the digestion and therefor also the hunger because of the fibers in it?

    I have added chlorella (10 tabs 2x day) and have found it is most cleansing. Feel it has sped up the detox. Also feel it has given me a stronger energy edge.
    How are you feeling on it?

    my outlooks that for modern people whove made ourselves out of about 75% trash diet that 1 fast isnt going to be anywhere near enough , and that its going to take decades of habitual fasting / raw foodism to get anywhere near optimal health . so i have fun with my fasts and experiment with many additions , and am many times happy with rich raw liquid diet fasts including drinking strained home made nut / seed milks on them . yes not a deep cleanse but still resting gi tract and also consuming totally health raw liquids . and on many fasts ive added spirulina to orange juice because of a heavy work load when i needed strength / endurance . way i put it = any raw liquid diet / fast is a good thing

    I feel in general good during my fast. I wouldn't say I had any significant effects from the chlorella/spirulina. Its hard when you drink so much juice, drink wheatgrass take supplements like chlorella and eat medical herbs, to distinguish between what is working in what way.. It gets a bit mixed up :)

    I've never taken it on a fast but I would say it curbs apetite. However it didn't agree with me all that much. Made me feel nauseated.

    I fasted on Spirulina and chlorella for 10 days. I am a vegan raw foodist and I use spirulina and chlorella for my protein.
