Juice Fast Over

Well the juice fast is finally over, I'm not going to lie it was tough. I know I only did 3 days but I really missed actually chewing something. The juices weren't so bad in themselves just not chewy enough! I did lose 6 pounds though!!! So well worth it, I will probably put most of it back on over the weekend though. As you can see from my pic I celebrated eating solids with a huge breakfast and caramel coffee, oh how I have missed coffee. 

Although I will definitely do it again, might even try 4 days next time. I think it might just be a case of experimenting with the juices to see which ones work best for me. It's not so bad once you get past the first couple of day. I do have a mental note I need to make for next time though, as it seems your stomach is ever so slightly sensitive to real food after just juice for 3 days, and I probably should have stuck to fruit and veg for the first day instead of the big breakfast and huge burger I had for tea...

Have you tried the juice diet, how did you do?

Juice Day 1

Today, we started our first proper experiment with juice fasting. We have decided to attempt 3 days, so that it will be over by the weekend. I have heard however that the first 3 days are the worst...

This is the beautiful green concoction that we had for breakfast, I also made up enough for me to have at work, we used:

Apples

Celery

Orange

Lemon

Ginger

Spinach 

We then had a fruity one for dinner. 

It is tough. If only because my man has stopped with the cigarettes too so he is driving me a bit mad. 

My tummy was grumbling something chronic this morning and we have both suffered with hunger pains and headaches. Hopefully it will get better seeing as this is only the first day, and more importantly I hope the weight loss/detox kick start will be worth it. I will check in Saturday with how it went and results! 

Have you ever tried juice fasting? How did it make you feel? 

Juicing?

Well I've been playing with my new juicer, they don't seem to look too appetising but they taste nice enough. Not really sure what I'm doing so just throw in handfuls of fruit and greens. This one had blueberrys, strawberries, spinach, lemon, cucumber, an orange and a nectarine. Think I went a bit overboard there was quite a lot.

I also made a hangover juice for my boy, he had a bit of a heavy one last night for a friends stag do. It was a bit like a Virgin Mary with tomatoes, celery and chilli so not for me. Well not for breakfast anyway. 

Have you tried juicing?
