Juice Fasting

Having embraced raw foods, & fruit smoothies, and giving up a coffee addiction  (almost 2 months now!)

I decided it was time to try a juice fast. I am happy to report to you that I am on Day 5 of my Juice fast and feeling great! :)  I started on a Friday so I would have the weekend to get through the detoxifcation process.

The first 2 days were full of aches and cravings. Day 3 was full of highs and  lows. I think I really detoxed that day because the cravings hit hard and I was extremely exhausted. Day 4 was so easy it didn't feel like a fast. Day 5 is the present and I am having periods of energy and euphoria. When I notice myself become tired or weak I just take a sip of juice. I am currently using Naked juice, and Bolthouse farms juices. I tried the juicer this weekend but it was pretty messy and I found to make this work with my lifestyle (work, kids) the pre-purchased bottles of juice from the produce/juice section of the grocery were a lifesaver. Its not about being perfect and juicing all your own fruits and veggies, its about making small changes in our diet and lifestyle that can improve health. If its more convienent to buy juice than juice yourself , by all means do whatever it takes to keep you away from the Standard American Diet and Fast Food! The detox is difficult but it is well worth the natural high and the cleansing your body receives from being bathed in nutrients.

So today I want to challenge everyone to try a juice fast, even if only for a day.  100% natural juice, NOT from concentrate, no sugar added!   If you can't do the fast (due to health reasons) try something simpler like an all fruit day or an all veggie day.

Let's get Naked!

I just got Naked, at work. I enjoyed my first Naked "Green Smoothie". It looks weird but take a sip and "WOW" it was really quite tasty. Feeling bloated and disgusted by our SAD (Standard American Diet) I decided to have a stripped down lunch, something light and refreshing. The "Green Machine" by Naked Juice is 100% juice with a shot of wheat grass, spirulina and blue algae, and it makes a great stripped down lunch or snack. It feels good to get Naked sometimes, strip down your daily routine and daily meals. Make it basic and simple. Mono eating is a great way to get Naked too. Pick any fruit and eat just that fruit, next meal or snack pick another fruit.
Lots of people are getting Naked these days. It has become rather trendy. No one is just Vegan any longer, people are Raw, Fruitarian and Mono eaters just to name a few. No one way of eating is right for everyone. You have to educate yourself and find what works best for you personally. One thing is for certain, you will always have a new diet trend around the corner.Ultimately the best way to be healthy is to eat natural unprocessed foods. I'm not talking about weight loss, or weight gain, I am talking about being Naked. Food that is Clean and Pure (unprocessed) and naked, for YOU- Only Better!
Share the Peace, Love and Knowledge~
