    Default Fasting on a Budget !

    Hi I'm on a strict budget since I'm in college and I really need to do a juice fast. I follow Dan (Liferegenerator) on youtube. I have some his DVDs . He recommend Grapefruit, parsley, and ginger if your on a budget.

    I'm a female and I weight 320 pounds and I'm 5'5.

    3- 32oz Of Grapefruit,Parsley and ginger

    I'm fasting because I have low energy, Insomnia, and Weight problems, I also have real bad acne and face dermatitis

    I'm Mostly Fasting for the weight problems and Skin problems.

    Is that okay?
    Any feedback please.

    i'm not sure you'd want to live on that combo for any length of time mostly because of the flavour.

    apples are inexpensive. apple/lime/ginger is lovely
    carrots and beets are inexpensive too.

    apple/carrot/beet (start slow and light on beets as they are very detoxing)

    switching it up is important. more for your taste than anything else LOL

    above all... enjoy the flavours of your juice.

    that is the most important thing when I juice fast. There is no joy in chugging down juices you don't like the taste of. Fasting needs to be joyful for me. If it isn't then it's a punishment and I don't deserve punishment.
