Give thanks for your post.

I too, consume liquids as well as a main base of my diet. If it isn't liquids then it's smoothies and puddings.
Most of the solids I consume are fruits, juicy fruits. With a salad every now and then.

I also see how eating and consuming solids (vegans, vegetarians and carnivores) at most, is nothing more than a habit that has bleed into an addiction. Food doesn't give us energy.

What types of juices do you consume?
When you started drinking mostly liquids, did you loose weight? If so how much?
What is your weight now?

With the diet mentioned above, I have been able to maintain a certain weight.
However, I hope to gain more muscle tone. So I do body weight exercises five times a week.

GIve thanks,
JWebb

I think I am going down this route myself....! Its nice to know there are others that are doing liquids too.
how long have you been doing this for ? And excuse me for being so blunt but are your bowel movements ok and regular too?
And I know when I stick to my green smoothies i feel so balanced. (:

Give thanks.

I have been doing this for about three months now. I started back up after a 9 day fast.
During the summer of 06 I had smoothies and juices for the entire summer. I felt great, however
not as consistently good as I feel now. I know this is due to me being more physically active: body weight
exercises. I have realized that if I'm not active then I don't need that much "food nourishment".

My bowel movements are great and regular. When I do eat solids it's usually fruit, mono meal.
I must say that I'm thankful to state that 95% of the time it's "Meal in, Meal out".

However this brings me to another question. If mostly if not all of what I'm consuming is coming
out as feces. Then why do we continue to consume?
Any thought?

Suzie-Smoothie how have you been?

Give thanks.

I'm sending healing vibes as I write, regarding your tooth.

Toxins...hmmm
I do know that I'm cleansing and alot of toxins are coming out.
However, I find it hard to believe that all of my feces is toxins and
not mostly the food that I just got finish eating.
