Well this is really kind of strange. For the first few days (Day 2) of the juice fast/feast I had challenges to stop myself from giving in and eating food. Those desires were short lived because as I finish Day 9 of my juice feast/fast, I have TOTALLY lost the desire to eat. Like I mean completely. For the last two days, eating has not even crossed my mind, I mean it is so weird!!
Hmm is this even normal? I honestly feel like right now, that I'll never eat again in my life!! And when I consciously think about one day when I finish the fast, Im thinking to myself "How am I going to get myself to eat again?" I mean, this feeling is that strong. If I continue feeling like this, its going to be very difficult to get me to eat. I know I have to at some point but I feel like it would now be a challenge TO eat, the total opposite of where I have come from.
I was thinking that perhaps when I finish the juice fast, I would maintain this way by juicing/fasting all day and then just having a night time meal, either fruitarian or raw vegan/vegan, whatever takes my fancy for the day. This way of life (juice fasting) feels so natural and effortless right now, that I am not sure I want to give it up!! It could all change tomorrow, so I am just taking it day by day.
I have no idea how much I weigh because my scales broke. I have also for the past 2 days exercised, as I now feel a slight urge to and it feels great when I do. So I do a gentle 3km walk around the place.
Greetings All!
I am embarking on a great juice feast- feasting on juice. The word 'fast' scares a lot of people, it usually is associated with a sense of being deprived, but doing a proper juice fast/feast is anything BUT deprivation. On a standard juice feast, you should be consuming a gallon, or at least 3-4 litres of fresh raw juice daily. Its a lot of cleaning the juice machine but you get used to that. I find that even if I drink the fresh juice after 20 mins, it has already oxidised and is no longer very drinkable so I try and drink my juice as quickly as I can. I don't like to pre make my juices for this reason, and quite simply, you'll find that you are much hungrier quicker if you juice this way. This is because the nutrients are oxidising and have been broken down, similar to that of bruising a fruit or cutting it up etc.
Today is day 4, and many of you know that I work in a part time job preparing food. I am around food allll day. And if one is not juicily prepared, you are doomed for the slumbers of food!
I make sure that when I go to work, I take my juicer, as well as juicing fruit (despite the looks of co-workers...they know what Im like) and will have 1-2 Litre juices when I am working for the day.
As I mention in my Day 1 Juice fast video on youtube ( Day 1 Juice Fast Vid ) the challenge for me staying fruitarian and even on the juice fast is lack of variation in fruits. I am in a remote part of South Australia so even though there is fresh produce here, there is a lack in variation, and good quality fruit, which makes things monotonous and difficult... BUT more of an incentive to stick with it. There will be a time coming when I will be living in the tropics with an abundance of fruit and more variations that I could ever imagine. I look forward to this time, so for now- I must keep going!
So far I have lost 1.7 kg (3.74lbs) in 4 days.
So far it has been very easy for me to stay on the juice feast, except for Day 2 when I was at work, I had thoughts about eating food, but they were soon squashed by a delicious fresh juice.
Other than that, it has been okay. My sleep is great, my dreams are unbelievably vivid and clear (digestion is much lighter since juicing so my body doesn't have to work so hard!). High strangeness is even more bold than before. Energetic/esoteric work, see body aura's, objects is very strong fasting (clear channel)... I remember reading about the great Ancient Mystery School of Alexendria in Egypt- anyone wanting to study, or being asked to study had to fast for 40 days before being accepted!! Now that says something about the power of fasting and connecting with the energetic fields.
I am very excited to see where this all goes.
