I juice fasted and all it did was make me want all the junk food I dont normally eat. I had dreams of foods I haven't had in years because they are so bad for you. I probably wouldnt do it again. I made it the 3 days but man it was rough.
I even own a juicer and drink it regularly but non stop juice was nasty. Stay close to a bathroom in case you get the hershey squirts.
yeah... I just got squirts today. nothing until today day 4. I'm planning on fasting one more day, then I'm calling it quits.
I am still fantasizing about food today, but I want something like an ahi tuna salad, and that is not something I typically go out of my way to eat. Kind of curious to see what tomorrow is like. I almost wish I had it in me to make it 10 days but that would get in the way of Buffalo wings and binge drinking on the weekend
Haha stay strong my friend - its a rough road but 1 day to go is fantastic.
Great that you have the willpower to fast for 4 - 5 days. It is very important to come off the fast slowly. Start with some soups and steamed vegies. Maybe some toast without butter or oil. If you go on a binge this weekend, you'll blow a lot of the detoxing by fasting....and fasting isn't easy.
today was day 5 and I broke it tonight. So like 4.75 days. I had steamed white rice. Then I had a salad and a lasagna. I know that I probably screwed my dismount up, but I still have a lot of juice left and I plan on still doing that for breakfast/lunch moving forward. At least for the next week or so. But I'm 6'4", 210 and I got really hungry
Don't worry about it - I went 3 full days and on the last night I broke down and ate some avocado - it tasted so good I immediately made some toast with PB&J. Just the simple act of chewing and the taste of food was a revelation. Remember you have been starving yourself so your body goes nuts as soon as it gets food again.
Just take it easy the next few days and you will be fine.
would pollo a la brasa and yuca be considered taking it easy?

Haha after what you have been through you have earned it - it certainly isn't detoxing but how can you turn that down?
