    Default Starting a fast tomorrow. What should I expect?

    I am starting a fast to encourage detox and to eliminate cravings for sweets. I've never done a fast for 21 days. What should I expect? What are the most common detox symptoms? I don't wanna freak out if I start to experience weird things. Also, I've heard that the detox doesn't really start until 3 to 5 days into it. What has your experience been?

    Oh, by the say, I posted a thread earlier, but once again, I am doing a 21 day water/juice fast. Water for 2 days, juice for 1. I am just scared to do all water, so I'm doing it a little more slowly.

    Thanks!!!

    What have you been eating for the last 2 days? or are you just going to go cold turkey into it tommorow?

    i decided to start tomorrow simply because i didn't make good food choices yesterday and i have read that you should eat lightly the day the before you start. so today is my light day. i am starting a juice fast tomorrow for 21 days.
