Hey street deacon
I do 7 day fruit juice fasts.
Try an internet search on Juice fasting, there are tons of sites for them
Some things will happen to you. You will get a sense of all knowing. Funny as that sounds you will.
Several things to remember are this:
While fasting on juices you should have a glass at least every two hours
Make juice fresh for each glass if possible
Have fruit juices in the morn and veg by lunch or vary them to suit your tastes
Breaking the fast is most critical. You must start slow, like on day 22 have an apple for breakfast and chew it well. a small salad for lunch with an apple. a lite to almost no dinner that night. and in between meals you must drink lots of juice
A good rule of thumb is one day of fast breaking for every 7 days of fasting or break the fast over a period of three days
It is not good to shut your bowels down like that and there are pretty much 2 options to use
One requires a hose
and the other is to
Take a grapefruit in the morning and pulverize in a blender as much as you can.
The bulk in the grapefruit will keep them churning.
There are two reasons to do this.
one is so that they do not shut down
The other is to move along the toxins that will be expelled in to the colon.
You will probably feel sick the first few days since the toxins will release into you system.
When you start your fast would you start a post in the free for all section so we can track your progress? Also you will be suprised at what you have posted (or at least some of the web logs I have read) when they come back and read what they have written.
Good luck on your fast.
PM me if you have any questions
