So juice feasting/fasting is not something that is completely new to me. It was completely new to me about a month ago, but after seeing the movie FAT, SICK AND NEARLY DEAD...my perspective changed about a lot of things.
Today is Day ONE of a 30 day juice feast. It's a daunting task. I have been juice feasting now for several weeks, never going without food. I supplemented nuts and popcorn and then raw foods. I am not getting the results that I want and know that the juice feast can bring. I have been able to come off of all medications except for an anti anxiety medication that I take to help me sleep at night. I was able to be off of it some nights but would like to completely rid myself of it.
I have PCOS, polycystic ovarian syndrome and stopped taking metformin and wellbutrin related to that. So this morning I made two fruit smoothies because I woke up hungry. I added flax seed to both and it is now 1:40 in the afternoon and I'm hungry. Instead of making any mean green just yet, I am drinking coconut water.
I should add that I take at least 2 tsp of coconut oil a day, a probiotic and vitamin d drops. I am hoping to see my skin clear up, eyes brighten, energy return and an overall sense of well being. I also would like to drop about 10lbs of fat and have the energy return so that I can begin weight lifting again.
This is no easy task. I hope that blogging will help me in the rough moments so it is possible that I might blog more than once a day. Coconut water feels like a treat....I miss my popcorn ritual. I am rushing through this post today as I don't feel much of a mood to write although, when I am feeling more settled and introspective, I think this will be a place and time of release.
We shall see. And yes Dana....you CAN do this.
