Juice fast.........

[fluffy]

i'm just about to start a juice fast to re-boot and clear out my system.....the holidays seem a perfect time to do it......has anyone done a juice fast and if so do you have any advice.....

[Canadian Jayne]

When I fast I usually try for 24 hours for
spiritual and physical reasons
I find the best time is on your body's timeline
so in sinc with it.
Due to my age ,I find it easier to start my fast between noon
and 8:00 p.m.
Recently I tried the 8:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. the next day
It worked out really well for me, not everyone will be the same.

I have to be careful because sometimes I get low blood sugar,
so I take juice if I feel myself getting dizzy or really fainty tired.
But you need to do what is best for you're body.
You're body needs to get use to the idea so going for eg.30 percent of your day the first time seeing how you feel, keep a journal.

Then maybe the next month try 50 percent(eg. 12 hours) without food, drink if you're thirsty especially in this hot, hot weather, listen to the triggers your body makes.
Not a good idea to just do whole thing at once when beginning.

I try to fast once a month but if I'm sick or not feeling well, I wait
for a day when I feel pretty good.
Don't engorge the day before, this makes it worse and harder.
Also don't overeat after, start with good food but not too much.

After a fast I am so thankful for food and vedgetables, things just
seem to taste better.

Also ask your doctor for some tips if your body could take it, if you have any doubt. Also certain medical conditions and medication suggest that you not fast. So always be careful.

Oops I almost forgot...
After a fast (eg. the next day)
energy level can be quite low, don't have alot of
running around planned, it's like resetting your body,
give it time.

As I get older, my energy is less the next day.
Give you're body time to recover, read, exercise some
During this hot weather be really careful to hydrate.
If you are really active don't go out and do your usual
fast paced workout, take it down a pace(or a few paces)

but always do what's best for you
Over the week work up to the usual schedule
That's what I do and it works for me

I need to that too.
Some form to detox my body cause I haven't done, ever and I think my body could use it.
I'm just not sure I can eat just juice though.

[Canadian Jayne]

I can't eat raw bananas.. gives me horrid stomach aches
but I love the grapefruit juice and have
had good results with it for loosing weight

Really?
Funny. For diarrhea bananas are the best. Trust me!

[Canadian Jayne]

But my body can't digest
If I avoid canola
my system is gud
but adding bananas would
do more harm than gud
red licorice is gud
for some who run to the loo
but high in calories

[Catherine]
