Juice feasting failure
Oh, I hate using the word failure, but that's where I'm at. I did 3 days, then had solid food. Then 5 days, and then solid food. The cravings were really unbearable, and my cravings were NOT for raw food, but junk, crappy processed and cooked food. I'm really conflicted about it - part of me thinks that it was just uncomfortable detox and that I'm weak for not being able to muscle through it. Because while I was juice feasting, I felt amazing. High and energetic and full of life and love. And then another part of me is trying to be gentle, that I just wasn't emotionally ready for the detox, and that there is always another opportunity down the road. I've dealt with compulsive eating and binge eating for so long . . . maybe something like juice feasting needs to wait until I have a little more recovery from this disorder/disease in the bank.
Blah. But I feel like a big loser, like everyone that has tried juice feasting does it perfectly for the whole 92 days and that there's something seriously deficient with me because I'm not there yet. Can anyone relate?

i like the comment about how deeply these cravings are buried in our bodies .... it reminds me of what they say on the juice feasting site about how every day of juice feast takes you back 120 days in your life, and also takes you through your illnesses etc. it makes sense that it also raises your cravings, in order that you can work through them. i am interested to hear what others who have gotten further down the juice feast trail have to say about that.

I took a class called "How to Cleanse the Body Without Cleansing Reactions" by Arnoux Goran. In that class he explained that there are two sides to cleansing 1) mineralization and 2) elimination. You mineralize through the green drinks and the supplements you take but you need to eliminate the toxins that are released quickly or you're in for detox reactions! When you detox you body drops those old toxins into your colin and if you don't eliminate fast enough those toxins are REABSORBED into your blood and BAM it travels through your blood to your brain and now you want that damn cheeseburger, pizza, or whatever you where just getting out of your system.
So maybe daily coffee enema, colonic irrigation, or a colima board would help eliminate those toxins fast enough that you don't have those sudden uncontrollable urges.
And please stop being so hard on yourself.
Love and Light,

That makes a lot of sense...... I wonder if Arnoux Goran has written any books? I will have to google him.

Rawmarissa,
I understand the sense of failure that plagues you. I started a feast last May and went 28 days. I am now 71 days into my current feast. Do you know how many times I attempted a juice feast in between May and December? At least a billion. Do you know how many times I didn't complete those feasts? At least a billion and ONE. No worries, you will know when you ( your body, your mind, etc.) will be ready. Be patient with yourself.
Peace and love,
Terilynn

Your dog is sooo cute! I have a dog too and two cats, and I looove them! I feed them wheatgrass and they actually choose that before regular grass wich they normally chew on in the garden.
I decided to have a 50/50 raw/cooked meal at Vita last night, having had a desire for warm meals for last couple of weeks. They had a Vegan Paella, it was amazing but it's only the second time I have had grains for a year and I had headache soon a...

It's actually surprisingly easy once you get the hang of it. No machete required. Shave off the husk at the pointed top close to the shell. Then poke the point of a knife in about 2 or 3 cm out from the centre and wiggle it about until it pierces ...
Isn't it?!? I personally can't think of anything more visually appealing then beautiful fruit :)
"Nice" to see that I'm not alone in this. I think I'll be going for a short water fast then. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I believe two out of the four pineapples I've had the last several months have been alright with me, after having let them "ripen" for some days. The one that turned out the best was one I stored in a bag of ripening bananas. I did the same t...
