Today we started on our "juice feast". We are not sure how long we're going to do it for...we're going to see how it goes. We have both done long fasts (1-2 months), but never with this much attention to quantity and greenness. In past fasts we both ended up stuck at work rocking nasty bottled juices in guilty desperation.
We've been into raw foods for around five years, but have also been very on and off with it. Jack has been particularly bad about over-eating cooked foods lately and is tipping the scales at an all time high of 228.2 lbs which is not exactly a narcissist's delight. This has been a motivating force for Jack. Jack plans to post ongoing pictures and weights.
We're planning msm with water every morning (a quart each). We actually started a couple days ago with 1/2 teaspoon msm and some lemon, but today Jill has experienced all-day sulfur burps that are none too pleasant, so she may ease back to a still lower dose for tomorrow. Jack seems fine with it.
Other than that we've each had a couple quarts of juice (mostly greeens, some apple) and are not feeling at all hungry (we'll try to be more detailed recipe-wise on later posts). We know we're supposed to cram in 4-5 quarts apiece for the day, but it's almost 7pm and neither of us seems to want anymore. Could it be that it's just so many nutrients? It's also a lazy New Year's Day...
Enough for now.
