Hi Ayla

Welcome , ....I am not 100% either , I would like to be.... but it has been a struggle . I have been adding a lot of raw fruits and veggies to my diet and I am feeling much better .

A lady living in our tiny town is starting up some raw food classes .She usually teaches her classes in the city , however we had enough interest here for it to be a go ... . This is a 20 week course , with the meetings being 3 weeks apart , ( this is so we can incorperate new habits as we go along ) I am hoping that this will be the little push that I need to go 100% raw 

Hi Lulu

Lu lu don't under estimate yourself , I can see many changes in your before and after pictures ....you are looking slimmer and your skin is looking better . Seven weeks of 100% is great , good for you .

Hi goji girl !!

You are doing great with your juice feast , are you finding that the juice feast web site is helpfull ?. I have a six hour audio program on the juice feast as well as a write up of everything that needs to be done for the 92 days .Still I do not think that I have all the info that the juice feasting web site provides . I will be once again starting my juice feast soon ....hopefully to double the 9 days to 18 days ....and you never know .....maybe even 92 days .

Yesterday was such a beautiful day here , I spent the day outside with my husband and children planting the gardens . We planted lots of greens , carrots , beets , parsnips , cucumbers , tomatoes etc . I started talking to the neighbor about juicing and juice feasting and he gave me some japelano peper plants to spice up my juices .Yes I will be juice feasting again .... not sure when I will start .... but I  will do it again soon .

Sorry for your loss

Thanks for the links ...black sapote sounds delicious .

What is Sapote ? I have never heard of it .

I was in a hurry on Friday afternoon and stopped in at a hairdresser to see if she had time to cut my hair .I have never been there before but was happy when she said "yes".I wasn't so happy when she started chopping at my hair with a razor blade ... just chop , chop , chop anywhere .For awhile I thought that any moment someone was going to jump out and say " smile  you are on candid camara " But no this was for real ... the haircut looks awful ....like rats chewed on my hair....... . I am now going to have to find another hairdresser to fix this haircut ..... I just feel like shaving it all off and starting over again . Well once it is fixed it will be so short it will look like it has all been shaved off any way .Oh , I have a question ....does anyone here on this forum drink rejuvalac ..... why or why not ?.

Thanks and have a great day

Hi Goji girl

For me nine days is huge , even 1 day would have been great . I will try this again soon and maybe now that I know what to expect I will be able to go twice as long .I think for me anyhow having greens in the garden will help me out .we have very short summers here and long winters , this winter we have had our wood stove burning scince the end of September.....and still going strong .
Have a great juice feast .

The not so good news is that I have broken my juice feast , the good news is that I have lost 13.2 pounds in 9 days . I am still planning to continue with juicing ...breakfast and lunch and have a large salad with raw dressing for supper .The juice feast was a great experience even if it did only last 9 days .I think that I will try it again in the summer when our garden is up and all those wonderful greens are up , right now all we have is a lot of snow .

Juice feasting .....day 9

Right now I am having a very rough time with all of this. I have had a memory from the past ...that caused me to have a emotional melt down , I just don't know how much longer I can do this .After drinking my juices I feel very ful and happy ....but I also feel empty and something is missing , is all of this part of the detox or am I losing it ?.

I have been juicing carrots , garlic , cellery , spinach , romaine lettuce , pineapple , apples ,oranges , grapefruits etc .I have been trying to make a different combo each time to keep things interesting . I am also rebounding to keep the lympatic system going , as well as keeping the kids busy with homeschooling .

For the last 3 days we have had a snow storm with lots of snow ( yes this is spring in Alberta )however this is colder than what we usually have in April and it is not warming up until May .

" no "  I haven't decided how long I am going to do this for .For now one day at a time ...and see where that gets me.

Hi BB

Thank you for your lovely words ....you are so kind . "yes" I did bring my juice and drank it with pride....and "yes there were a lot of questions and looks .A lot more questions from the other instuctors than from the students , I guess they kind of feel like I am deviating from the program .I have lost 9.8 pounds and this is only the beginning of my 5 th day , I feel a bit tired today ....like weak in the legs and tired overall , but I am rearing to go and face another day .

Juice feasting day 4

So far so good  I am getting my juices in , I am not hungry and feeling great .My husband so far is OK with me doing this . I think that he feels that I am only going to be lasting a few days anyhow , Will see what he says as this continues on .

I will have a challenge later on this evening ( I live in canada , it is only lunch time right now ). I am a instuctor for a vegan cooking school ( mostly cooked some raw ) I will be taking my juice with me , but I don't know how people will react . These students are people on the SAD diet wanting to change their eating habits for better health .They are feeling that the cooked vegan diet is extreme ...never mind raw vegan .....or a juice feast. I don't want to turn anyone off .... or scare them !!!!.I was contemplating not starting my juice feast until after cooking school was finnished . However summer is coming so I did not want to wait .I will let you know how things go.
