Re: Starting 1st MC.Excited & Nervous!

Hey, good for you! I'm a first-timer too, but I was seeing so many benefits that I decided to go ahead and do a longer fast (Day 24). I'll see if I can answer some of yr questions:

--My period seemed to go a little longer than usual (5 days instead of 3), which really surprised me because I'd been reading that some women have shorter periods during the fast.

--I think mixing ahead is what a lot of people are doing. I know the juice loses enzymes a little while after squeezing, but you will still be getting benefits. How much you bring to work will depend on how much juice you want. I drink a lot of juice, so probably one wouldn't satisfy me.

--I didn't do any preparation for the fast (didn't know any better), and I feel I've benefitted a lot. You'll be fine. (Tho they say coffee withdrawals (headaches)are the worst part, so it's good you have a headstart on that.)

--I drink the whole glass at once, but I think sipping is prob better if you have better restraint than I do :-)

Good luck!
