Well, I'm not gonna lie. It was tough. We started off really good but by about 3 o'clock I was tired, hungry, cranky and had a headache. We drank juice every 1 1/2 to 2 hours, with TONS of water in between. I used a combo of knowledge from my favorite juicing book Juicing For Life by Cherie Calbom and Maureen Keane, past experience from working in juice bars and help from the Internet.
We were hungry all day, but in a weird way. I didn't feel anxious about not eating and at some points throughout the day, I felt down right wonderful. My stomach did growl a lot though. To supplement the fasting, I put psyllium husks in a smoothie made with fresh apple juice, fresh blueberries and a couple frozen bananas. We also munched on a couple of raw carrots when we were feeling really bad. Believe it or not, drinking mashed up fruits (like I did in smoothie form) and eating a few raw veggies is perfectly acceptable to some schools of juicing fast thought . . . mine included. I think the most important part is listening to your own body. If you can't do a full day, oh well. It's not the end of the world. Going one day was a great accomplishment to Jared and I and will be something we will do again.
Since it is Super Bowl Sunday, we did make a traditional feast of vegan burgers on homemade rolls, oven fries, sliced tomatoes, sweet pickle chips and a dill spear.

Good to hear about your detoxing experience. It sucks that it wasn't the most pleasant, but I guess that's sort of the deal with juice fasts! Good on you for trying it out, at least!
That meal looks wonderful!
I applaud your efforts! I don't ever think I could do juicing fast.
That meal looks so rewarding!
Fasting is very tough and it tends to make you weak, cranky, and hungry. They say it’s good for you.
When Brett and I did a juice fast, we were thankful for the juice and smoothies, we are subscribers to that as well. You have to have some nutrients and sustenance right?
That’s a nice looking vegan Super Bowl feast. Looks like a pretty All-American meal, just without and dead animal. The All-American meal as it should be.
Great job making it through your juice fast!! Glad to hear raw carrots are allowed, my stomach would be growling too!! Thanks also for the links to info...
Burger looks good. Perfect superbowl food (we made pizzas, also very super bowl appropriate).
Good for you for sticking to your juice fast for even a LITTLE while! It's more than I could probably do, with so many deliciously tempting vegan foods out there! And those fries look thick and juicy-- yummy :o).
I didn't know you could eat carrot sticks! congratulations on making a one day fast, and your post-meal looks awesome! mmmmm fries.
Your burger plate looks delicious - way better than juice!
Good job sticking with it!
The burgers sound like a good reward for making it through the juice day!
A full day is a solid achievement, congrats! Glad you rewarded yourself with a burger and fries though, looks good!
How do you make your rolls? Do you have a recipe you can share?
Thanks.
Congratulations on the fast, by the way. My husband and I did a clear liquids 2 day fast last month, and then a 1 day juice fast this month. You do feel great afterwards.

be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people
think about worries that they plainly do not know about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects
, people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more.

Aw, this was a really nice post. Spending some time and actual effort to make a top notch article… but
what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and never seem to
get anything done.

I was curious if you ever considered changing
the page layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got
to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way
of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2
images. Maybe you could space it out better?

I hardly write responses, however i did a few searching and wound
up here "Juicing Fast Results". And I do have a couple
of questions for you if it's allright. Could it be simply me or does it look like a few of the remarks come across like they are written by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing at additional social sites, I would like to keep up with everything new you have to post. Could you make a list of all of your social pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

Its such as you read my thoughts! You seem to understand a lot about
this, like you wrote the e book in it or something.
I believe that you just can do with some % to pressure the message house a bit, but other than that, that is wonderful blog.
A great read. I'll certainly be back.
