Blog: My 30 Juice Fasting Journey
| Well, I do find that my hunger is now increasing so it is making things a little more difficult. I did lose another pound so I am down 23 now. I have been eating my fruit and I did have a few bites of some things over the weekend to satisfy cravings and my stomach was fine. I think that I am going to start incorporating some veggies in tonight instead of waiting until Thursday. I feel like my stomach can handle that now and I need some variety so I don't blow it. A salad sounds so yummy to me. My stomach has become so small from the juice fast. I very small amount of food fills me up so that is a great thing. My pain is decreasing from my cyst so I hope that is on its way out and doesn't linger. I really want to start exercising this week so I will start out slow since I haven't been able to do so in over 3 weeks. I plan on making Wednesdays my juice days now that the fast is over. I still want to give my body that one day a week to catch up.

| Hey! I have a cyst as well. This is my first one, but before that, I just wanted to say how well you've done! Sooo proud! Anyway, yeah, I wound up at the ER thinking it was a appendicitis. Thank goodness it was a cyst. I have an appointment tomorrow and the OB will probably think I am crazy when I tell him I don't want any hormones either. No way! Anyway, just wanted you to know you weren't alone, mine feels better now but nowhere near gone. Good luck!

| I am so sorry to hear that you have the same problem. Thank you so much for the kind words and it does always help to hear that you are not alone. I hope that your cyst goes away on its own. Please keep me posted.

| Raiven.....I have to tell you that I am really watching how things go for you after your 30 day fast. As I have said, I am planning on making mine a 40 day program, so it is so helpful to have an idea of how to break this thing and what to expect moving forward. I like your idea of doing a juice day once a week....that makes perfect sense. I know a lot of raw foodists just do juice for their morning meal each day whenever possible......that makes sense as well. Anyway....keep us posted and try to stick around to keep us pumped up and motivated! We need your wise counsel.

| Thanks so much! You are doing so great. Don't get discouraged when the scale doesn't move. I know that most things that you read say that you will lose a pound every day on a juice fast but for me that was not the case. Especially towards the second half. It was more like a pound loss every other day and then every 3 days or so. I had a goal of 30 pounds when I started but it didn't happen. I was very happy with 23! :)
