I know this is a late post, but I've been fasting since Feb. 1st. So far so good.... :)

Hey Mallory, I owe you an email. I've been in renovation hell... but it's finally over.

We fasted today... may continue tomorrow... depends. We'll see.

Count me in as well. I'm on the 4th day of my juice fast. I've juice fasted, done numerous Master Cleanses and more recently have done some 48 hour fasts here and there. My intention for this current fast is to see if it will have an effect on a mysterious health condition that I've been trying to figure out for awhile now. No improvement so far, but I'm going to continue on for now.

I started on Saturday, the first day of a 3 day weekend, and I had very low energy all 3 days, w/the worst being yesterday. I didn't do much more than lie in bed and watch tv. Not having any caffeine is the hardest part for me. I have been dealing with some amount of brain fog and fatigue for awhile now, and fasting and not having caffeine have only made both worse. Today feels a little bit better, thankfully it's a quiet day at work. As of this morning I started putting my juice through a nut mylk bag. I was really surprised how much pulp was left behind after juicing! I'm curious to see if this will have any noticeable difference. I have not been hungry at all, that part of the fast has been easy! And I haven't even been having much juice, maybe 4 glasses a day. I've been topping off each one with a little bit of seltzer water, it gives the juice a nice little fizz.

I'm concentrating mostly on green juices, with some apple, carrot and beet for sweetness. In the evenings I've been having a sweet potato/grapefruit combo that I love, and I find it more satisfying.

How is everyone else doing?
