Wow, five days went a lot faster than I had anticipated. The last day was good and I wanted to start eating so I decided to break the fast, even though it was going really well. Breaking the fast properly might be more challenging that the fast itself. I can only add small pieces of raw fruits and veggies into my diet over the next several days. I just continue to keep juicing, drinking my herbal teas, and now add the raw foods.
This is the best fast I’ve ever done. It wasn’t nearly as challenging as I remember and juice fasting is so much better than water fasting or using a maple syrup fast. It allows your body to detox a bit slower and you are giving your body pure nutrients that will also enable the removal of yucky toxins.
I’m doing a little right up with some links if people want to learn more about the benefits of fasting, but then also keeping juicing as part of your diet and eating more raw foods in general. I’ll post it here when I’m all finished.
Well, I’m getting sleepy, so it’s off to bed for me.
