Best Meal Replacement Ever!

I am about to have my daily morning drink. No, not coffee. I quick blend 1 cup of soy milk, 1 cup of Stoneyfield Farm organic yogurt, 1 scoop of "The Feast Supercharged", 1 scoop of "Beyond Berries" and 1 scoop of "Vegetein™" and I'm on my way. It takes about 5min. to prepare and clean up and it tastes great! It satisfies my 6'5" 300lb. appetite satisfied for 4 hours! I just drink water.

Some days I will do two or three of these in a day. Sometimes I substitute water for the soy milk and fresh or frozen organic fruit for the yogurt. This drink is low fat, high in live enzymes, probiotics, fulvic minerals, protein, high quality carbohydrates and packed with antioxidants. One of these drinks alone has the recommended daily ORAC value. It's a great drink for the kids before school, especially the picky eaters! Just substitute "The Feast" for "The Feast Supercharged" and only the "Beyond Berries" if anyone is allergic to nuts.

When fasting I just use water, "The Feast", "The Feast Supercharged", "Beyond Berries" and "Vegetein". I drink 4-7 of them a day for one to seven days. I do a 3 Day fast for the first three days of each month. I feel great at 52 and it helps me control my weight.

Try some of these yourself. I pick up organic soy milk at the market or at Costco. I get my "Feast", "Feast Supercharged", "Beyond Berries" and "Vegetein" from Uri International at:

Starting another Fast/Feast

I am going to begin my juicing regime again this Monday. I don't know how long I will go but I know I need to take in more fluids this time. I get plenty of nutrition from the protein and "THE FEAST" but I need to supplement with more water to dilute and remove the toxins from my body more efficiently.

I love the way you feel when juice fasting/feasting. Cleaner, lighter, and sharper. I'll keep posting here to express how it's going and what I encounter through these periods of juice fasting and juice feasting.

Juice Fast Day 4

Well, I gave in at 1pm today after 3 and a half days. I had a Nathan's Hot Dog, Double Cheese Burger, Small Fries and 3 Fried Chicken Wings with a Diet Coke. Not a good choice at all but understand that I LOVE that meal and used to get it at least twice a week! You don't get to be 346 pounds eating nothing!

I feel sorta disappointed that I just about reached 10% of my goal. But I clearly bit off more than I could chew! So I'll be fasting on and off for varying lengths of time. Using "THE FEAST" and the protein definitely gives me enough energy as I worked through these past four days with actually an increase of energy. Plenty of nutrition. It's not being used to denying my body the 3,000 calories it's used to and the pleasure and sense satisfaction that solid food brings.

I am re-discovering the benefits of juice fasting and plan to continue the practice for the rest of my life!

Juice Fast Day 3

Thanks to Mary for the comments on my last post. Evidently there is a difference between juice feasting and juice fasting and I am doing the latter. I consume 6 servings of "THE FEAST" in 36 ozs of water which is the equivalent to 36 lbs. of juiced organic produce. I also consume 3 servings of EAS Protein with and additional 36ozs of water. I have one 12oz drink every 3 hours starting at 7am and my last is at 10pm.

Last night I went to bed at 9pm. I was exhausted from work. I woke up at 12 with a splitting headache and some back pain as well. I attributed it to my fast and the detoxification process going on in my body. So I layed in bed meditating on scripture and life and praying. I fell asleep again around 2pm (that was the last time I looked at the clock).

I woke up this morning feeling quite well! No headache and the back pain greatly reduced. I also had a good amount of energy and was not hungry at all. Today is going better as it relates to the hunger issue. I was hungry for a total of about 3 hours on Sunday, 6 hours yesterday and it's 11am and was only hungry for about 30 min so far today.

My mental clarity is good and my energy level is also good. I am optimistic that I will achieve my goal of 40 days on this program and I can sense the Grace of God in it.

Day 2

My second day of juice fasting is under way. I woke up not hungry as usual and had my juice at 7am. I just had my second juice and was a bit hungry but it calms down about 15min after drinking the juice and protein. The Feast and protein keep hunger away for about two hours or so. I am starting to be more sensitive to smells (especially food) which is a by-product of the fast. Your senses get awakened.

I am communing more with God as I am leaning on Him for the grace to get me through these 40 days of fasting. While I am excited to be on the fast there are moments of hunger and negative emotions as a result of not giving my body what it wants when it wants it.

Grace and Peace,

My Juice Fast Overview

I have decided to go on an extended juice fast consuming just water, a scoop of THE FEAST and a scoop of EAS Premium Protein Powder. My plan is to have six of these drinks per day for a minimum of 40 days. I am doing this for several reasons.

First and foremost I want to weaken my flesh (my minds response to the cravings of my body). By weakening the flesh we strengthen the spirit. Both the body and the spirit seek attention from our mind and the one we feed the most becomes the stronger. Fasting is a great way to break the addictions that we develop over time.

Second, I would like to cleanse my body of toxins. The best way to do this is by juice fasting. Seeing as The FEAST is an insta-fresh juice powder of over 71 organic fruit, berries, greens, seeds, nuts and sprouts it has everything I need to replenish my body with live whole food nutrition. The protein powder will ensure that my muscles and organs are getting sufficient protein to maintain optimal health.

Lastly, I would like to lose about 60 pounds. I will give my starting weight when I begin in a few days but I want to be at the ideal weight for my height and age. One of the keys to a long healthy life is calorie restriction and proper nutrition. Less weight means less stress on the heart and other vital organs.

I will be drinking this drink at 7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm and 10pm. I will only be drinking water in between as desired. This will provide me with 654 calories a day and all of the vital nutrients necessary for health and vitality. I will also be devoting more time and energy to my walk with God through prayer and Bible meditation. I am so looking forward to this. I will be using this blog to record my progress.
