Day 5!

Woke up very early this morning (5am) which gave me about 6 hours of sleep.

I feel amazing, energetic and ready to start the last day of my Fast/Cleanse. It's easy to figure out what juice I will be having because I just use whatever is left.

Mostly Fruit juices for Bfast, Veggie/Fruit for Lunch and Afternoon and Mostly Veggie for dinner as usual.

Did a 16min session of Yoga afterwards along with some Wii Tennis/Bowling.

Also I watched Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead which is an amazing story of someone who juiced for 60 days!

I really enjoyed my experience and everything I heard from others for the most part came true.

Also research helped a ton along with the Juicer's Bible. On the colon cleanse side every seems cleaned out. It's strange having a mostly empty colon, I am on the toilet probably within 30mins after a meal(juice). My digestive system is pretty much as healthy as it can be(yay probiotics!).


In fact this fast went so well I would consider doing it again, and for longer, minus the colon cleanse. So next Spring I may try a 10 day juice fast!

So now that the fast is over, what now? Well just like I transitioned into the Fast, I need to transition out of it. I can't just start eating a steak the day after or I will be in serious pain.

So my plan is to do smoothies with limited ingredients for 3days.

No lactose
No eggs

So Kefir, Fruit, Hemp, Nut Milks mostly. Just that makes amazing smoothies trust me.

So thats Wednesday - Friday, on Saturday Night( so I can sleep on the first solid food ) I will consume slowly 1 avacado and 1 Bannana ( probably a puree with Hemp Seed ). Sunday Morning ( Noatmeal - fake oatmeal made of mostly nuts ) for dinner Sweet Potato and Sausage Soup.

And then back to my diet consisting of:

Meat
Fruits
Veggies
Nuts
Seeds

Limited:
Dairy
Rice
Legumes(Beans)
Glutten Free Grains
Corn

Day 4

Wow, so Day 3(Day 7 of no solid food) is when I started deeply missing solid food and looking forward to the fast being over. I want solid bad ..... well wanted ..., woke up this morning feeling refreshed and awesome.


Like my body reset. Now of course I still want solid food and am looking forward to it being over, but feeling this good will help me get through the next few days. Same morning routine as always but this morning I decided to weigh myself and wow, 199 lbs!

Now I know its mostly water weight but still. On to my morning juice:

The Usual Vitamin C power house with Pineapple, Oranges, Lemon, Mango, Apple, Spinach


Mid day juices included Fennel, Berries, Ginger, Spinach Apples Oranges and more.

Dinner will be advanced and filling.

Tomato
Sweet Potato
Garlic
Spinach
Celery
Carrot
Ginger
Parsley
Fennel

WOW just WOW

I am really feeling the heightened senses now, its pretty cool.

Day 3

Ok so last night I started having some cravings for real food, nothing bad but I couldn't stop thinking about food for about 2 hours. Eventually I fell asleep. It's been pretty easy to fall asleep and wake up the past few days. Asleep before midnight and awake between 7 and 9am.

So today I woke up at 8 feeling fine. Went through my routine and decided to change my morning juice slightly.

Day 2

Day 2 and I am doing great, no hunger issues other than the mental images of food that come up from time to time.

Woke up at 9:30.

The transition is key. It would probably be horrible if I had gone from eating solid food, to all of a sudden only juice.

So as usual started with my Colon cleanse regiment and then prepped my juicer and produce. My morning juice was much like the previous morning focusing on citrus fruits which will probably what I do every day.

I did get berries today so will probably add those as well.

Also I am only have 3 juices today since I woke up after 9am.

So my juicing will be at 10am, 1pm, and 5pm

Romaine
Apple
Lemon

I did not think it would be good but wow, its amazing.

I will be drinking Green, Oolong and Mate tea. Some Detox and Laxative teas as well. Tomorrow starts the actual juice and colon cleanse. The following will be my schedule.

I will be consuming 8 cups of juice per day and a colon cleanse regiment 3 times a day. As much water and caffeine free tea as I want.

Days 2-3

Went Grocery Shopping, picked up some emergency juice in case I run out of fresh produce.

BM has become more loose than I am used to. Picked up some laxative and fasting teas to help.

Juicer came on Tuesday, made some test juices on Wednesday.
First I tried Apple, Orange, Beet tops and Carrot.

Was very good, amazing how great fresh juice tastes.

My 2nd juice was an odd one. I wanted to try something crazy. It consisted of Tomato, Apple, Romaine and Carrot.

It turned out pretty good. Probably won't make it again but it was decent.

Tomorrow is the last day of the transitional pre-cleanse and I will be fasting( no smoothie, ahhhh) I will be drinking cleansing teas, cucumber/lemon water, and lots and lots of water. So far the hunger has not been a problem at all with 2 smoothies a day but I know that is going to change.

Colon Cleansing: Why Your Body Needs It

from: 

Colon cleansing has gotten a lot of attention lately as a tool for helping people to improve their health and to lose weight. Although you don't realize it, your body is storing much of the food that you take in. While this doesn�t sound bad, the problem is that many people have this stored as fecal matter in their colon. Your colon holds onto all of the waste that goes through it, bit by bit. While the waste your body produces is meant to pass through the colon and then out of your body, it often gets stuck to the walls and builds up. Colon cleansing is an effective way of removing this waste from your colon.

Researchers And Your Colon

Did you know that according to some researchers, your body is holding onto up to eight meals of undigested food? If you eat the typical western diet, your body will have all types of problems with this. If you eat a diet that is high in fiber, though, this number is only three meals. Nevertheless, there's still a great deal of extra matter in your body slowing you down and becoming more and more toxic as time goes on. If you use a colon cleansing to help you, at least one time per year, you'll find yourself removing much of this unnecessary and even dangerous matter.

Do You Need This?

Colon cleansing has been shown to provide many people with benefits, including health improvement, more energy as well as weight loss and improvements with constipation. But, perhaps you don't suffer from any of these potential problems? Why should you consider colon cleansing? 

- If you have waste that is stored in your intestines or colon that is undigested, it is developing into toxins that can enter your body and cause a number of diseases. If you have one bowel movement per day, you are only removing one of those three meals per day.
- If you experience constipation followed by diarrhea or simply face diarrhea often, then you too have the likelihood of having waste compacted in your colon and intestines.

There are a variety of conditions that are caused by the blockage in your colon. Illness, a weak immune system, aches and pains and many allergies and diseases are caused, at least in part, to colon blockage. Using colon cleansing can help you to remove all of that from your body and finally find yourself feeling better.
