Juice Fast

Greetings all,

I decided to try a juice fast, initially for 10 days. A couple of weeks ago I watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and thought I'd give it a try. I tried the Master Cleanse once and I think I only lasted 2 days. Then I had intense cravings for junk food. Normally my cravings are mild and usually I crave more just before my period but I never had the desire for junk food so intensely as when I came off this cleanse.

My mom paid a juicer under $100. I completed Day 3 and have been hungry throughout this whole ordeal. I think I might just do a 5 day fast instead. I feel I should give it an honest go, unlike when I tried the Master Cleanse and quit early.

I've been having headaches all day on Day 1 and 2 and not so much today. Just sparingly experiencing headaches. My brain doesn't seem to work as well either. I feel out of it, slow and spacey.

I'm on the web site for Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and so it seems like it helps people with weight loss but perhaps I'm not fat enough for it to make much of an impact. Actually I did see a thin girl try a 5 day juice fast to loss her holiday weight and she did lose 6 lbs and was more toned.

I'm looking forward to this being over but I want to see if I binge on junk food afterwards. At least with this juice fast, I am getting some nutrients because I'm drinking stuff like carrots, kale, romaine, cucumbers, apples and beets.The Master Cleanse probably had less nutritional benefits.

I've been eyeballing this bag of chips my mother has in my closet. It's reading week so I'm doing this fast at my parents. It seems like a lot of work too and probably expensive to do. My mom has been buying my ingredients and I feel like I use up a lot of vegetables just to make a cup! I feel bad in a way. It offends my sense of efficiency too because it takes a lot of food to make the juice.

I do need to lose weight and probably this is motivated by how difficult it is for me to lose weight. I could probably lose 30 lbs. I might have to work out more. I want to eat more vegetables so juicing seems like a good way to eat more vegetables. Maybe this will be something I do once a week.
