My first juicing journey
So, on sunday I had set out to juice until friday or sat. Was all determined..thought I was ready. I had gone and gotten what I thought was enough fruits and veggies to juice and started my juicing journey. Today is the 4th day... and I have decided to break it. There are many reasons at the moment. For one I was not as ready as I thought. I didn't have any supplements, no enema bag, and not enough variety of stuff to juice. It is day 4 and I still haven't poo'd. This morning I was going to try a green smoothie to see if that would get my colon working, and it hasn't. I sipped for 3 hours on a blender full of a smoothies made with frozen berries, lots of spinach, maca and spirulina. (was all I had). Still nothing. So.. its time to start munching on fruits and veggies, hopefully THAT will start the process! Grrr
I plan on juicing again, but I need to be more prepared for it. I have lost 5 pounds in 4 days and that is awesome. I am determined not go gain the weight back, so i am still going to juice and be raw. I need to go get more stuff for smoothies because I am out of fruits to juice.

So far today I had a smoothie and i have been munching on veggies off and on. Still waiting. lol. Im going to juice some apples and ginger tonight to take to a weekly meeting I go to.. im hoping that the ladies don't bring anything chocolate because it will be sooo hard to resist. One thing that I HAVE noticed.. even just having juice for 3 days.. is that im craving juice right now, and I don't really want to EAT anything, even though I have craving. Does that make since. I figure as long as i stay raw and juice, I will still be doing my body good and still continue to detox slowly and lose weight.

I just got my juicer, so I'm planning on going on juice for a couple of days, but I've got EXACTLY the same issue... and I'm too scared to use an enema... so it's fibre pills and laxative teas for me...
Wish you the best, keep us posted on your fast ;)

You can get enema bottles from any drugstore, even Wal-Mart. I did a 10 day juice fast without supplements. I didn't find that you needed them. What WAS extremely beneficial to me when I had a gassy or upset tummy is pure peppermint essential oil. A drop or two on my tongue, and I was fine. Also, I found the simpler juices were muchmuchmuch better for me.
I blogged my experience. Feel free to read, if you like. :) Congrats on your three day journey!

I'm serious, just go to the grocery store, buy all kinds of celery, kale, cucumbers, carrots, and whatever else you want, and juice is all and only drink juices for as long as you can!

my magic bullet burnt out, it was good for travelling while I had it though. Can you get a second hand blender? The cheaper ones I have used don't chop up the greens as well. Try to get something with a higher wattage, like 1000watt.
Mountain rose herbs has the green leaf stevia powder in bulk for a very good price.

There are so many unique people, with their own ways of eating.
Vegan, Vegetarian, Lacto-Vegetarian, Ova-Vegetarian, Fruititarian and Raw foodist are some of the many labels people define themselves or others.
What ...
"Fashionista's" simply look at Fashion as an Art, their own bodies as the canvas, and the sense of style they develop along the way is simply the masterpiece.
