So I finally decided to bite the bullet and start "weaning" for my upcoming juice fast. I've tried to completely cut out or limit: meat, dairy, sugar, caffeine, processed food, fried/fast food, and bread. Oh and alcohol. It's been a lot harder this time then the last attempt at weaning, but every little bit counts. It's not really a good idea for you to go cold turkey AND start a juice fast at the same time. It's too much of a shock on your body and you might have a lot of icky symptoms like headaches, nausea, body aches, fatigue and sleepiness. While you're weaning too, it's a great idea to up your water intake to and try to juice once daily to get your body use to it if it's not already a part of your daily routine. Went to Whole Foods today and scored a bunch of yummy produce! Actually really looking forward to this fast, thinking mid next week I'll pull the trigger :) Here's some "Instagram Inspiration" in the mean time. I've been finding a TON of new people on IG!

@ceeshah -- orange, pineapple, apple, mango -- this was from Day 24 of her juice fast. Truly inspiring to see so many people doing 10+ lately. |

@linnea80 -- lime, spinach, celery |

@chooselife_liveit_doit -- carrot, ginger, beet root, purple carrot, apple, cucumber |

@leahmenner -- don't think this shot was intended for juicing, but it's a great visual for me for juicing a rainbow :) Note: You can't juice bananas, but you can blend them with the juice when you're all done to thicken it. |
Anyone wanna join in this juice fast? I'm thinking 10 days, but maybe I'll push myself longer.
Thank you for highlighting my recipe and photo :0)
