Hi,

Don't get discourged by the gradual weight loss. For some reason mine has happened in spurts. I wake up one day and it will drop like 3lbs but then i will see no change for days. I am really bad with the weighing myself everyday I can't break the habit. I think i am going to wait till MOnday to weight myself we will see how that goes.

Another thing, I have not drank over 3 juices a day during the whole fast. Some people suggest getting 6-8 a day!?! I can't even image consuming that much juice. I think you were curious about the actual calorie intake. I did my research and I found that the average juice drink has about 120 calories in it. I have the website saved at work and I will post it to you tomorrow. I have not felt seriously deprived this whole time so if I were you I would cut back to 3-4 at the most. I would suggest doing water and tea days if you need to get over a hurdle. They always seemed to work for me. And veggie broths have little to no calories (well its hot at least) and I typically boil 1 leak, 1 onion and 3 garlic cloves in a sauce pan for an hour and drink the broth. This is my favorite so far. I too have had a really really hard time with the veggie juices. I actually like tomatoe but thats it. Even carrot is awful to me. I literally take shots of it for dinner b/c i limit myself to 2 friut juices a day and force myself to drink 1 veggie every other day. I alternate with broth. Good luck with that one... i have tried numerous recipes and I think that some people don't have a taste for it.
