Hi, I can't believe I am on Day 38 just 2 more days to go . Originally I wanted do 21 Days ,I took one day at a time attitude. This is my first M.C. It's been a amazing journey!. It really helps me physically and mentally. I have a clear mind and spiritually uplifting. I appreciated this site and specially Pepe. He knows a lot and very supportive. Thanks again.
I still have a question about after cleansing. Since I am doing 40 days how long do I have to take O.J and how many days do I have to eat vegetable soup & salad. When can I eat solid food?
I really don't want to ruin this 40 days hard work. I am planing to make fresh vegetable juice . How many times a day do I have to take vegetable juice with food or just vegetable juice alone?
Thanks.

This is a reply to # 1,189,973Yeeehawww!! Good for you. I also was only gonna do 2 weeks on my 1st MC and went the whole 40. It was a life changing experience.
You wanna take it real easy getting back to eating solids again. Do the recommended 2 days on the OJ stretch everything else with soups and salads for around 10 days or more. After the first week start adding oils a little at a time. You can do olive oil, flax seed oil and my fave and most balanced hemp oil. This will get the bile flowing again. It's always a good idea after a long MC to do liver flush after you are back on solids and your eliminations are normal. Ideally just keep it light for 3 or 4 weeks after a 40 dayer
If you are asking about the veg juice when back to normal. I would say if you managed to get to get 12 to 16 oz a day of fresh juice daily you'd be way ahead of the game. I add 2 tbsp of hemp oil to my daily juice. Getting a good balance of essential fatty acids is one of the most over looked things of a healthy regimen so supplementing with a good raw oil like hemp or flax seed oil daily is a very good idea.
The recipe for my fave veggie juice mix is:
4 -6 carrots
2 celery stalks
1/4 red beet
about a pinky finger's width of cilantro
one or 2 green apples
a bout a thumbnail sized chunk of ginger.
Last but not least it is also a good idea to help replenish the beneficial bacteria in your gut by taking a good probiotic. My fave is kefir. While back I came up with a morning drink. I mix of 3 parts apple juice 1 part kefir a tbsp of raw cacao powder and a green super food powder (Greens Plus) and 2 tblsp of hemp oil. Man and this mix to me is absolutely delish. I'm on day 13 right now and just thinking about this drink is making me salivate. ;+D

This is a reply to # 1,190,040LOL! Wish I would have read this sooner today. I already knew to do OJ and broth for a while but got a little crazy and made a big huge pot of veggie soup. Should have come here first for moral support. Oh well, next time I guess.
This the end of day 39 for me and I decided to break it on the weekend in case anything went wrong. Or did I break it knowing I would do something wrong? ;) Well in any case, I will post my results. I basically made a fine puree from broth, beets, carrots, onions, celery, dried dicon radishes, ginger, garlic, and fresh herbs from the garden. Oh, and a little olive oil. very little.
And for probiotics, I still have some left over from a dr. natura kit I tried last year. Goin for that, then I'll try the keifer.
Thanks for the support Pepe, you definitely helped get me this far. I guess it's better to fall of the wagon when it's almost stopped. :)
And good luck nowdoing! I didn't think I could get as far as I did either. Hoping to make this an annual thing and was going to try for January, but damn, I was freezing all the time! Maybe I'll have to make it BBQ season instead.- Re: My goal was 21 days now I am on ... pepe

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,190,142Your soup sounds awesome!!
I tell ya I did one MC one winter and never again. When you fast your metabolism goes down and so do your body temps. I was cold throughout the whole fast. I looked like the Michelin man with all the layers of fleece I wore. ;+D
The one thing I didn't mention was exercise exercise exercise!! It's very crucial to get that metabolism back up after any fast and specially after a 40 dayer.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,190,371I'd post the recipe, but I kinda winged it. And my non-MC wife thought it was blah. ;)
Fortunately, everything is moving through just fine, whew! I'm eating a lot of fruit and big salads now too. I plan on getting more exercise when I can - kid keeps me pretty occupied. Also, I'm really going to go vegan and have been checking out going raw (or as much as I can). Amazing facts about raw vs. cooked food. Well I think I'm done with this forum til the next cleanse. You may be able to find me in the liver cleanse forum and the raw forum if it exists.
Thanks again Pepe!

This is a reply to # 1,191,410Sounds like you're cruising right along
One of the most overlooked things when going vegetarian or Raw are healthy fats (essential fatty acids) so definitely research that. If you supplemeted daily with at least 2 tbsp of Hemp oil you'd be doing good.
