Juice Fast

[sannice1979]

Do any of you do juice fasts? I watched Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead a couple of weeks ago and got my juicer Friday. I've been doing 2 juices a day plus a sensible meal. Will be going on at least a 10 day fast soon.

I saw an old thread on here from 2011 where someone was doing the "reboot". Would love to hear from others and to share any recipes.

Right now I'm drinking my dinner! LOL Apples, Beet, Sweet Potato, Spinach, Carrot, and Ginger. Not too bad.

I do and love the feeling afterwards. My longest was 22 days! About two weeks in I had amazing mental clarity!

Oops. Hit send too soon. The first couple of days were rough but after that all was good and I wasn't starving. I had energy to exercise daily. Had a hard time with the veggies so did mostly fruits. I do 3-4 days at a time now during my "off week" from chemotherapy.

I am juicing with Tito's and it really is good. Pick some up at Goody Goody.

I'm loving it so far and finding myself CRAVING the juice. I'm a bit surprised by that but I know my body badly needs the micronutrients.

I like smoothies/juice in the morning. This recipe was pretty good:

2-3 handfuls of baby carrots, 1 apple, 2 orange slices, small handful of spinach, pinch of grated ginger, 1.5-2 cups of water. Makes 2 smoothies.

I have to add milk to most of my smoothies. Jealous of anyone who can handle straight juice every day.

I've used that recipe myself for juice. Thankfully they have all been very appetizing and appealing to me.

I'm interested in doing some sort of juice fast but need some information. I don't have a juicer and don't have the energy to try and make the juices myself. Are there any products out there that you can just go and buy? I know years ago, like 12 maybe, you could just go into GNC or someplace similar and buy the juice. You drank that and water only for say 3 - 7 days. Does anyone have any info on something like this? I found this but it is a shake, i'd prefer a juice, and I don't know anything about it.
