Hey girl(TerribleAngel) i'm here, Talk to me. I 2 am on board. I did start today but well read my Messg. I will be starting again tomorrow morning. Why are you waiting to start on the 8th? If you don't mind me asking. If you want to talk send me your e-mail addy on here or get a hold of me on Yahoo IM my screen name is jamikins2. That goes for anyone else who would like a friend while going through this detox!!! Take care and good luck... JAE

Don't know if you have considered a pre-cleanse diet... but if you start now you can avoid many of the first week detox crises that make a fast so tough. I like

big bowl of fruit and good natural yogurt for breakfast (whiz as smoothie if you like)

big salad for lunch

all the vegetarian vegetable soup you want for dinner (same soup you break with) -- add cayenne and lots of garlic, excellent cleanser!

Also, LOTS of water and all the fresh fruit/veg juices you like.

Taper off or STOP coffee, Sugar etc. ASAP. These are the major culprits for first week suffering!

Hope you have a wonderful cleansing experience!

Best,
Somer

Hi TerribleAngel,

I am also planning on starting a fast on the 8th of October and I would certainly like to be "fast buddies". I'm a 25 year old female, out of college now and working. I was originally planning on a raw food diet/juice fast (3 days raw, 5 days juice, 2 days raw) but I think that I will have a better chance of successs if I just do a 10 day lemonaid fast because of its simplicity. I've done 2 short 3 day juice fasts in the past but have never done the lemonaid fast for more than a day. I'm looking forward to the fast but also a little nervous about it. Having a fast buddy would be great because my family (mainly my husband and my parents who live in town) doesn't understand fasting very well and will worry about me if I say one thing about not feeling well, and may even try to get me to eat.

Anyway, I couldn't find your email address to email you. My address is rocware@email.com. send me a note and we can talk more.
