When to drink green juice
Since I work, I have to make my juice in the early morning, after exercising. Is it better to save it and drink it later in day or to have it freshly pressed? What is more beneficial = extending hours without food in system (by not having juice until hungry or drinking the juice freshly pressed? I have a Champion juicer (a really old one that works great).
I guess since I have my green juice shortly after waking up puts me at level 3. But I eat so little during the day after my juice (a couple of pieces of fruit, maybe some raw chocolate, maybe herbal tea), which is more like a level 1. I will often do only green juice until dinner.
Dinners are level 2. Maybe 1 or 2 cooked meals a week.
Weekends I can revert back to level 3 and did most of winter. I'm lightening things up now just because I'm cultivating the quality of "lightness" in my life and my desire for fats is really low these days.
Truth is, when I get back from a run, after my shower, I crave the green juice. So I'm not sure my body would want to wait anyway.

I would say listen to your body! When you feel the need, eat/drink. This may change from day to day. It makes sense that after running, you are ready to refuel - especially when eating so lightly.

HI,
Yes, when your body wants it, it tells you! Sounds like you are already fairly in touch with your body, so just listen in some more. Mornings when you are hungry for it, drink it after your run. Mornings when you're not, put it in a glass airtight container in the fridge and drink it when you feel like it. Either way will be great for you if you're body wnats it.
Congratulations on getting to here!
Cheers
Casey

Thank you both for your quick replies! I've joined Natalia's new detox community (worth it for the little audios she's doing) but I find the site navigation a bit awkward. Or maybe I'm just used to sites like this one. Anyway, I am a big believer in "intuitive eating." I won't push things. A time might arrive when my body is not ready for the green lemonade so early in the morning. Until then, I guess I'll just keep enjoying it.

No problems. Don't force or rush anything. Just do as you need and you will continue to make wonderful progress as you desire it.

why would you want to kill germs in your intestine?
I don't think this exists for humans yet, unfortunately - but what I think would be the healthiest mattress (and virtually free of dust-mites, even bed-bugs which inflict some homes recently) for humans would be the same as the healthiest for pets...
Someone should make a thread...
You see on the right side...it's a headless breed ;)
