Re: Starting the Cleanse tomorrow!

My best advice is NOT to look at the scale at all or place any goals based on numbers cause regardless of how well you break you will still gain a good bit of weight back just from your intestines filling up again. The scale is not indicator of what is actually happening whether the weight loss is from fat or just water wight etc Keep your focus on the gradual breaking of the fast and your exercise and balanced nutrition goals post fast.

While walking is "better than nothing" if you expect to get your metabolism back up post fast you're gonna hafta hit the reality button and make a commitment to do some "real" exercise whether it be aerobic or resistance training and I mean were you work up a "real" sweat, get your heart rate up and are breathing hard or you'll be kinding (rhymes with lying) to yourself.

I wouldn't trust any kind of processed powder in lieu of fresh Sugarcane juice. 1st it will not contain the live enzymes of fresh juice and who know what chemicals and preservatives are used and how the process affects the mineral and vitamin content   Real sugar cane juice does not keep at all even refrigerated and must be made fresh daily. I will tell you that I have tried the lemonade with the cane juice and it it is delicious and more so specifically with limes for me. I found it in the states in a farmers market that also caters to a large Indian/Asian polulation. The market was a 20 mile drive and the cost was prohibitive so I only tried it for one day. I'm surprised that there are not a number of places in Thailand(?) which I believe is where you are right? or any asian country for that matter where fresh made sugarcane juice is not readily available and also very cheap. The latin and more specificaly cuban comunities also use fresh cane juice as a refreshment drink and one can radily find it in large Cuban comunities like So Florida.

BTW if you find the SCJ fresh its not used like the BSmolasses and MS but it takes the place of the water in the recipe
