Ralph Waldo Emerson- American Poet, Lecturer, Essayist, 1803-1882
Good Morning, Chatham!
Many of you started yesterday. How did it go? Was it difficult to only juice? Even those who've only had 1 meal, did that meal satisfy? Today should be easier as your body slowly transitions into self cleaning mode. How do you like the flavor of the juices? Also, how has the elimination been? If you haven't already, fret not! It sometimes takes a day or two for the body to get the message. Just keep drinking that water.
Some of you may start o feel a bit bloated, that's normal. Again the body is cleansing and kicking up the toxins in your body. When I feel that way, I make my own version of an anti-bloat concoction, which usually works wonders:
Take two bags of Alvita Dandelion Root tea ( available at Whole Foods) and let that brew for a bit. When you're read to drink, grate some fresh ginger into it and sip slowly. Drink the water as hot as you can tolerate. Dandelion Root helps with water retention and ginger helps with gas. So its a double whammy! Lots of peeing involved! :)
For those of you interested in continuing onto the 5 day, it would be advisable to put in your juice orders by today, so we can get them delivered for a Wednesday morning pick up. Kindly email either Cara or me: caravic@mac.com or jennifer.maverick@gmail.com with your juice orders.
Good luck with your juicing today. I'll check back with you later this evening.

I am drinking tons of water and herbal T .def a bit bloated - but I feel good full of energy . is today the toughest day ?
ReplyDeleteWho's Idea was this!!! I feel like a million $$$$
ReplyDeleteteh no coffee thing this am was a bit rough, hope I can make through the day.
ReplyDeleteFeel great though and can feel lots happening which is great as well. let myself relax at yoga, very long chivasana.
Cara: The hardest days to get over in terms of hunger is on the 2nd and 3rd days. After that, its should be smooth sailing from there. Try not to focus on the juicing so much and carry on with your day.
ReplyDeleteHoward: Good for you!!! :)
Randy: Caffeine is one of the hardest things to wean off. Its a stimulant, and so easing off it will result in withdrawal symptoms, very much like a drug. So if you are able to eventually kick the coffee habit altogether, it will be a major breakthrough for you! Just take it day by day.
Is it ok to have some coffee while doing the juice fast? I went from drinknig it all day to one at 5 am most days. I missed it all day today I would say, but will power through tomorrow if it better for the fast
ReplyDeleteok so i had the small salad and it makes me so full
ReplyDeleteI find it hard to believe - I know i can power thru till tomo -
