Like I just commented on your blog, I wouldn’t drink just orange juice for several days. Your body needs various nutrients and orange juice can’t provide that.

I’ve completed 21 day juice fasts – and lots longer – but you have to work your way up to the longer fasts and it happens over time, not overnight. That’s one of the most frustrating parts of the journey, but it really pays off to dig deep and find the patience and motivation.;-)

I do eat fish – sometimes. But I don’t eat meat. I find that if I eat fish and organic/omega eggs once in a while, and focus on mostly raw veggies and fruits as well as lots of fruit and veggie smoothies and juices, I do pretty well. I don’t like processed foods, though. I don’t drink soda. I do drink organic coffee, juices, smoothies, water, and herbal tea. That’s pretty much it. Oh, and I wouldn’t touch cow’s milk (unless it was truly certified organic). I don’t like loading the body with too much soy either. Soy milk occasionally might be ok, but I prefer almond milk or rice milk – organic, of course. I don’t like those flavored waters, either. Nope. They’re not natural. That’s my opinion of things, though, and not everyone wants to live like I do.

I agree, the fresh garden veggies are just TO DIE FOR! Tomatoes and cucumbers… Girl, you’ve made me hungry! hehehe

I do hope you enjoy this site, Steph. I have TONS of information crammed in my head from lots of experience with fasting, juice fasting, cleansing, and so much more. I’m just trying to figure out how to break it all up and share it in sections on this blog and in my books. Hope I can achieve that for my readers!

In the end, we have one body and one chance at life – unless we’re very lucky or experience a miracle of some sort! So, it pays to nourish our body and cherish our health.

My hubby and I did a juice fast a while ago but only for five days. It was a strictly orange juice fast but if I do it again it will be fruits and veggies and however often I need to “eat.” It was difficult at first because I felt faint and light-headed as though not getting enough during the day (the limit was 9 oranges, I think?), but by the fifth day I was feeling pretty good! I would have gone on (it was supposed to be 21 days), but when my hubby caved, I did too!

I don’t eat meat or fish, and I haven’t missed it since I quit eating it about five years ago. For a long time I also stayed clear of wheat, sugar, and dairy. But cheese is my very favourite food…and the spelt bread at the store sucked and mine never turned out that great. So the wheat has come back into my diet as well. Sugar is also there again. But I can feel I need to go back to eating much more veggies and fruit, to steer clear of more processed foods. Growing our own garden is helping that: there is NOTHING like veggies picked fresh! I miss juicing as much as we did, too. The cleanup is a deterrent, even though the taste is unbeatable!

Maybe if I start reading more of your site, I’ll feel more inspired to get back on track. I’m hoping so! Thanks for this post.
