lushuzpnay is going to go walk for a few miles
I have every thing to do a juice fast! I have a really good juicer, it cost $250. i just need to be stocked up on fruit. One of these days I want to juice fast for a week
How I did it: I actually have done 2 juice fasts before for 2 days apiece.
You will need determination, an absurd amount of fresh, preferably organic veggies and fruits, and time.
I drank freshly made juice all day. It is important that you drink the right amount to get the full health effect.
Lessons & tips: If you're tempted to eat, then take a nap, drink tea/water, and get distracted. Or, if you haven't drunk some juice in a while, make some!! Keep up, and stay focused. You won't regret it.
However, the most important part is breaking the fast. You should eat only raw food afterwards for at least a day. Then, slowly and carefully go back to eating the normal foods you eat that are hopefully healthy. I had to learn the hard way that eating lots of vegan cookies after a fast is not at all the best route. I am actually still recovering, and I couldn't exercise for 2 days because I felt so fucking sick. I still do.
Resources: A juicer- DO NOT DRINK PRE PACKAGED JUICE!
You also of course need lots of fruits and veggies. Make sure that they are organic, if possible.

MIRV MIRV version 2.0 launches today
I would like to do a one day juice fast as part of my cleanse in January, perhaps followed by a three day later in January. I would have to do more reading, but I’m thinking most veggie juices and some fruit juice would be fine, preferably juiced par moi, except for a decent (organic would be optimal) V8-style juice as ‘easy food’. Legumes as well such as a broth of pureed lentils, garlic, onion as that would get loads of good stuff and antioxidants into me, without the sugar of other antioxidant-rich beverages. depending how January’s fast/cleanse goes I will determine if and when I wish to repeat a juicefast.
I’ve been eating like crap (this is why i hate the holidays – Temptation!). So now I need to complete a juice fast because since I ate like crap, I feel like crap. It feels like a sinus infection/flu because besides my head feeling like a filled balloon, my body hurts. So drinking:
lemon, apple, ginger, cayenne water
will have Orange and Tangerine juice later
a green smoothie w/ spirulina (I know not exactly juice, but I believe it will help cut this cold).
Over and Out
My sis is in town and we are detoxing 2gether. So I am going on a 7 day juice fast. She is doing another type of cleanse, involves high fiber pills n special diet. I’ll just stick to juice and senna tea and mint tea. This will be perfect to help me recommit 100% to do 100% raw.
Anyhoo, our day will start w/:
Lemon juice and warm water
Then me: Fruit and Veggie Juices all day for next 7 days.
Will check in and edit this”day 1” post to include more details later.
Starting today i am going on a juice fast. Im already Vegan, but it is possible to still end up eating crap while being vegan, so im detoxing. Last time i did it for 17 days and i felt great. So this time im gonna go for it.
I’m not into the fasting right now. It’s summer and I just want to be outside and running around and my energy is way too low without some solid food all day. Maybe i’ll try again in the fall or winter when I tend to be inside all day.
Is anyone using specific guidelines for this? I have a horrible cold that I want to get rid of before an upcoming trip, so I figured I would patch together some kind of fast involving fresh fruit, veggies and lots of water and hot tea. I don’t own a juicer so I guess I can’t follow a proper fast. Ok, here goes. Wish me luck.
Finally after a veeery long thought process – is it really worth investing so much….and indeed I’ve been thinking about it for a few years now – I did it and order one of those really good juicers.
So my Omega juicer is due to arrive tomorrow and I went already to the market today to get some fresh spinach, selery, ginger, apples, beet root…..I cannot wait to get started.
