Starting tomorrow morning I will be embarking on a 10 day juice fast. I'm really excited, nervous and a little worried. I've never gone more than a day or two without food. I attempted a fast once when I was 16 but failed miserably, binging on pizza! Back then I didn't understand nutrition like I do now and I thought I could just drink bottled juice as long as it was all natural...WRONG! Live and learn. Side note: I had very poor self image back then and that was the only purpose for my fast.
My body has a life time of toxic build-up. I'm almost 26 and I've realized the things I've been consuming my entire life are bogging me down. I have no energy despite the fact that I eat relatively healthy, run a few miles a week and practice yoga on a daily basis.
So for the next couple of days I might be a cranky bitch, but I'm hoping to feel like a new woman at the end of it. Fresh squeezed juiced from my juicer about 4 times a day. Forty-eight to 64 ounces a day (depending on what my body is telling me) along with plenty of water.
The purpose of this fast is to give my digestive system a rest, increase my energy levels, reduce my cravings for sugar and salt, and to hopefully improve my overall mentality.
I plan on making daily updates.
