This actually seems to be working for me, today's weigh in was 298! (down 5 pounds from yesterday)
I don't have that hungry feeling any more, not like I used to I guess I'm becoming accustomed to this.
A couple things to report: My heart rate and blood pressure have already dropped. My heart rate is usually around 75 to 78 beats a minute and currently it's 62 bpm. My blood pressure usually hovers around 137 over 80 or 85. Today I'm at 117 over 60 (took it twice to be sure)
Usually this time of year my allergies are killing me, in fact this season started off worse than usual but I noticed today that it's suddenly about half as bad as it was. I don't know if this has anything to do with detoxing but I hope so, it would mean that there are solutions to dealing with my allergies other than medication.
The only negative thing I have to report about this juice fast so far is that I'm cold all the time. Strange as that may seem I'm freezing, especially my hands and feet. I walked into work tonight and turned the AC off in my office and put my hoodie on. My wife tells me that she's cold all the time now too, especially her hands and feet. I looked this up on the web site I found the juice fast on and it says that this is common.
Maybe I should do this fast again in July when it's over 100 degrees outside, I could stand to use the AC less often.
The only other problem I'm having with this is that no matter how much water, or juice, I drink I feel dehydrated all the time. If I in increase my fluid intake to combat this feeling I can't get too far from a rest room... if you know what I mean.
Today's juices have been pretty good.
Morning:
I started the morning with the papaya dink from yesterday. Again for two people.
1/2 a papaya
2 apples
2 bananas
1/4 pineapple
and this time added half a lemon and before tossing it into the blender I added a cup of crushed ice the result was kind of a "Smoothie." The drink was filling and satisfying.
Mid Morning
A simple Apple Carrot drink
(for two people)
3 apples (two green one red)
8 carrots.
2 celery stalks
Late Afternoon
My wife came up with a pretty tasty concoction, I don't know how much of each she used I was weeding the garden at the time, but the indigence are:
Squash (Acorn), Radish, Purple Cauliflower, Celery, Red Bell Pepper, Spinach, Lemon, Garlic, and Tomato.
The drink tasted like a V8 Juice. I shook a bit of Tabasco into mine and it tasted like a Spicy V8 Juice.
Home Made V8 Juice
Evening
I have brought to work what Joe Cross calls a "Reboot Juice"
6 Kayle leaves
2 green apples
1/2 a lemon
1/2 a cucumber
1 small piece of ginger
4 celery stalks
I added a bit of Tabasco (Tabasco goes with everything)
