Pounds lost on the 3 week juice fast.

Date:   6/14/2005 9:07:39 AM ( 19 y ago)

This last message will conclude my posts for this blog. I'm starting a new blog on my Raw food diet. I weighed myself a few days ago and I'm down to 156 lbs. I started at 175 so I've lost 19 lbs in total. During this time I was also doing yoga 2x/week, Rebok Step 1x/week and walking or cardio 3x/week. I believe this also helped with the weight loss and toxin elimation. I'm really pleased with the results and motivated to lose the last 10 lbs by switching over to a raw foods diet for 30 days. I'd also like to point out that the mental gains of this fast far outweigh the physical ones. While I'm pleased that I can fit into some of my old clothing, I'm even more estatic that my mood has improved and significantly at that!. I'm happier overall and easier to be around. I don't isolate myself but I get out and meet new people. I'm friendlier overall and easier to be around. I don't feel depressed (to the same extent as when I started). The mental "fog" has lifted and I'm thinking more clearly and more positively. I feel more hopeful and definitely more confident as a result of sticking through this for the intended duration. I feel good about myself. I feel more spiritually grounded (I've meditated, read the Bible and prayed more this past month then I ever have!). Overall I truly feel that I'm a better person for having done this.

I'd encourage anyone who's thinking of starting a juice fast to try it. This experience has changed me I can feel it. In fact, it's too good not to ever try it again. I hope to incorporate weekly juice fasts into my lifestlye on the last week of every month. I feel like my body needs it.
