A couple weeks ago, I watched the documentary Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. It's about a Brit who was sick of being...well, sick! He journeys across the U.S., juicing along the way, and in 30 days is a changed man.
I was mesmerized by this. I spent the next week researching juice fasts, and have come to the conclusion that it might just help me.
I'm overweight, am burdened by extremely bad habits, and in need of help. So, I am going to see just how a juice fast can help.
What is a juice fast?
It's just like it sounds. A diet consisting of nothing but freshly made juice (and water, of course). Some fasts are a few days. Others 30 days. Some will fast for 90 days and more. I am going to attempt a two week fast, and will monitor how it helps, if at all.
My Goals:
-Weight Loss
-Sleep (I rarely sleep more than 4 or 5 hours per night)
-More energy
-Lessen joint pain
Today is the 2nd day of a two-day ramp up. yesterday, I replaced my last meal with juice. Today, I replaced two meals, and the third meal was hummus with cucumbers and carrot sticks. Tomorrow is strictly juice.
And you get to come along on the ride!
