Day 17 of Juice Fast

So I decided to break my fast today. I'm planning on going to the bar Saturday night and having a beer or two so I thought it'd be wise to start eating a couple days before that so my body is used to normal vegan food by then. I drank juice for breakfast and lunch, and had a veggie sandwich from Jimmy Johns. For dinner I had a salad and soup from Brick Road Pizza co.

The juice I made this morning was fantastic.

1/3 bag of red globe grapes
3 chunks of pineapple
2 red apples
5 carrots

So the fast is over and I guess the blog will be as well. I hope this helps some people decide on whether or not to do a juice fast. I lost weight, detoxed, was clear headed, and had amazing energy after day 2. I noticed that I went to sleep within twenty minutes, which normally takes an hour or more. And waking up came much easier as well, which, if you know me, is not normal. Going back to food today I almost felt that I shouldn't, like I should be ashamed for going back to food hahaha. Kind of weird but I think that's normal for a fast this long. If you're thinking of doing a juice fast learn from some of my mistakes. Make damn sure you drink a TON of water. I've been drinking about a gallon a day if not a little more, along with the juice. Also I recommend making sure you get protein so you don't lose muscle mass. I started taking my protein powder shake, which is nice because it doesn't have fiber so I wasn't digesting it like food, just as a liquid. Get in touch if you have any questions or concerns about starting your own juice fast. I've heard recommendations of doing a ten day juice fast once every year, and a 3 day juice fast once a month. Once I actually own my own juicer I believe I will be following these guidelines.
