nicole Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Has anyone done a juice fast before? I just got my juicer returned to me and I'm thinking that my diet has gotten a little... processed? So I want to shake it up and get back to square one by maybe doing some kind of fruit/juice fast, but I'm worried! I get really grumpy when I'm hungry!!! I need to do a lot more research, but I was wondering if anyone here had any good tips/experience? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjaj2022 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I've done a juice fast a bunch of times with a fresh veggie soup at night with great results. I drank lots of water and did a couple juices throughout the day with broccoli, zucchini, carrot, bell pepper, tomato, and beats. For the soup I cut in half the following veggies and put them in my food processor, carrot, bell pepper, onion, zucchini, tomato, celery and a whole avocado. After I grind the veggies to a pulp, I add a quart organic vegetable broth and a bunch of spices like garlic power, oregano, basil, black pepper and a little sea salt. Do this for 3-7 days and you will feel very clean afterwards. This is a little graphic but I found it interesting. Last time I did this on the 3rd day, my body was still getting rid of the black beans that I ate the day before I started the juice fast. Good luck!

compassionategirl Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I have been thinking of doing a juice fast too so i'd be interested in hearing more input on this as well, especially any dangers to avoid/common mistakes to avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicole Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 Thanks for the replies everyone! I'm still deciding exactly what I'm going to do, but I think I'm going to start off with the goal of going 3 days and see what happens from there. Maybe in a couple weeks?
