Breakfast Juice


Just had my juice for breakfast today with a normal lunch and dinner. I feel so much better when I get at least one juice drink in per day!

Nothing But Juice!


Back on the juice today. I did a three day juice fast from last Sunday through last Tuesday. Aside from the hunger, I felt great. There is such a mental and physical difference when you are eating right! I did OK Wed. and Thur. but went a bit overboard over the weekend.

We were celebrating Mother's day Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I had Steak, Hamburgers, Sushi and Chinese Food. I started feeling sluggish yesterday and actually felt sick this morning.

So, this morning I had "THE FEAST SUPERCHARGED", "BEYOND BERRIES" and EAS Protein with 8 ozs of water. I am feeling better already. Less bloated and much clearer thinking. I am just starting to get hungry but hunger is good. I will have my next juice at 12 noon and I am looking forward to it.

Grace and Peace,

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!

Grace and Peace,

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.

Grace and Peace,
