More Juice Fasting for the Fall!
Not eating for days sounds f****** nuts, right? That’s what I thought too until I tried it. Turns out the extended juice fast actually not that bad.
Throughout the recent years I have experimented with different kinds of juice fasting, and through trial and error have figured out some stuff. Although I have read a bunch literature around the topic, I was still unsure about the experience, especially since the people writing the books are basically a bunch of tree huggers with lives much different than mine.
So I decided it was time to become the guinea pig and do an extended fast. I’ve tried one-day fasts in the past, but evidently short fasts are short on results.
First things first – background information on fasting:
Fasting has an extremely powerful healing effect on the body. While you are not eating food, the body will systematically cleanse itself of everything except vital tissue. In the breakdown of unhealthy cells, all essential substances are used and conserved in a most extraordinary manner. As a result, a few things happen:
- You get a lot healthier FAST
- You get skinny
- Your stomach shrinks so you eat less food once you are done with the fast
- You just feel better
- The only fruit you should be juicing is apple. Other than that, juice any vegetable you like.
- Try to keep the juice as organic as possible, but if buying a carrot juice at Jamba Juice makes your busy life easier, do it. In fact, you can do the whole fast on “juice bar” juices.
- DON’T drink bottled juice unless you’re dying and there’s no other juice in sight.
- When you’re hungry, drink juice.
- The shittier you feel during a fast, the dirtier you are, the more you need the fast. Suck it up and do it.
- A colonic or 2 helps speed up the fasting process tremendously since you get cleaned out from top and bottom.
- The dirtier you are, the more weight you lose
