i think you did great. you’re body is telling you ”enough already, i have finished cleansing for now”. don’t go crazy post-fast. eat raw and fresh, keep exercising! keep the discipline you have had for such a long while now. i congratulate you. peace   [End]

what you are talking about is pretty much what im doing at the moment. i fast for 3-5 days, do a SWF.. then i eat a small meal, fast a couple more days, have some soup for a couple days..etc. reason im doing it this way is because im working up my discipline for an extended fast(im thinking 14-21 days, just water, and perhaps a glass of juice ocassionally). im also young, and also quite heavy. 29 male, 6’1” .. 310 pounds. i have a large frame, and plenty of muscle, so im aiming for about 220-240 eventually, as far as weight loss. of course i realize fasting alone isnt going to make that h ...

looks like saturday probably. im aiming for 10 days, and then i’ll see how i feel. im pretty sure with the health scare i had recently i may jsut go ahead and do 30 days or more, just to get the full benefit. peace   [End]

yes, im doing a prefast before jumping right into it. been eating lots of frozen grapes, and not much else lately. i am thinking of starting sunday. things are going pretty good for me, so i have a good feeling about fasting. sorry i wasn’t clear about my start date, but there were life matters to sort out before i made a decision when to begin. namaste   [End]

well, everyone does react differently so dont hesistate to tailor this to your needs. cut back a bit on the amount of fluid. sounds like your saturating your tissues.   [End]

haha, i can picture that situation so vividly. i’m going to be starting my fast in a couple days, and hopefully i wont run into any problems having to explain it to anyone. it’s probably better just to make something up like.. ”oh wow, i just ate so much food a few hours ago. i couldnt possibly eat any more.” peace   [End]

hi again well, the juicer i have is decent enough for 60 dollars. its the centrifugal kind and does carrots and apples pretty well, but has trouble with the leafy greens for some reason. i’ll figure out a method that works, but im going to have some crap store bought juice around anyway, just for those times i dont want to deal with it. as far as weight loss, come what may...i dont know whats ”realistic” as everyones reality is different, but i think you can do it if you want to. less juice - more water, some light calisthenics in the morning, etc... today im hopefully going to be get ...

hi there, i feel i should also do a 30 day fast. but to be honest the longest i have fasted is 5 days. i dont have a very good juicer, so i’ll be using 50/50 ”home-made juice” / ”store bought drinks”... and probably making broth for when things get rough in the beginning. but im willing to try for 30 with ya’, so let me know if you want a buddy! im 29 year old male, i have been incredibly abusive to my body with drugs and alcohol, and am quite overweight(i’d guess about 80-90 pounds). these are my reasons for fasting. pretty good huh? ;) so are you starting tomorrow? best wishes   [End]

congratulations! yea i think you are right about ending things on a positive note. the little games we play in our own minds definately have a big effect on us, and i think you’re making good decisions. i’m going to start fasting again today, with a very different state of mind this time. you mentioned you had to put on some weight for winter. did you lose a lot of mass from your body during this fast? was it muscle, fat..just mucous??? hehe. im only curious because im quite overweight, and wouldnt mind losing some of this contaminated fat off my body, while my insides are cleansing. ive ...

well, i think the problem is that i am not working a the moment. i simply have no regular schedule, and perhaps that contributed to my stopping. wake up whenever...go to bed whenever...i think its actually making me a bit depressed. i’ve only been out of work for about a month, and i thought i could use a break...but...maybe not. i have an interview with a company on monday, so i’ll see if i can get a job there. and then perhaps i’ll try again. i think it will be slightly easier to do this when i have other things to focus on besides my ”hunger”, uncomfortable sensations in the body, etc. ...

Hi there!! I’m glad to hear you’re going strong. myself, i just couldnt go longer than 4 days. did a SWF and got a bunch of goop out. now im going to switch to a mostly raw diet for a few months. Doing a prolonged fast just isnt in the books for me.....yet. i think 3-4 days is it, until i am bit more on a certain path in my life. until then i’ll do the 3 day fasts, twice a month as i have been doing for a few months now. i know im not getting the full cleansing benefit as you are, by doing the shorter version, but im certain a short fast also has its benefits. and with all that stuff com ...

Thank you for replying! Yep.. I’m on day 3. Still no serious issue with hunger, except the occasional 5-10 minute stomach grumble. Also, I seem to have lost about 4 pounds, which was rather unexpected. The only thing that is bothering me is that my mouth has become covered in a sort of white film..I mean my gums and all..inside of the lips...yechhh. Another thing.. I am VERY tired..I am not working at the moment so I really dont have any worries. Since this is the case I can take naps when I have too, but wow..I am really tired. My skin is starting to break out too. Well, anyway I’ve read ...

congratulations, seriously. i can not get past a 3 day fast, and thats with juice. i think you are doing great! dont focus too much on what that gray thing in between your ears is mumbling, as it will try to fool you. i can totally relate to what you are going through with the self talk. personally, it happens to me on day 3 everytime. this time i refuse to listen! hope all is well   [End]

awesome, sounds like you are having experiences that very few people take the time to explore. i’ve had them occasionally when i meditate, sometimes quite powerful, and involving a state of ecstasy for a few moments. definately very cool! wow, i can’t believe you are still getting stuff coming out of your body after 2 weeks. i know it has made me think about the state of my own body, and i’ve decided to go beyond the 3 day fast i usually do. tell me, is it advisable to do the SWF so regularly? also are you putting anything else into your body besides the flush and the juice? any supplemen ...

hi, i’m a 29 year old guy who stumbled upon this website while researching juice fasting. I read your blog because the ”prying open the third eye”, caught MY eye. i was curious if things are still coming along well for you. i intend to fast for around 40 days, and have done several 3 days fasts in the last 4-5 weeks for ”practice”. im wondering if the hunger really does subside to a tolerable level. i know at the end of my 3 day fast i was quite hungry. also it sounds like your body is really cleaning itself out. have you had any more ummm..”cleansing experiences” since your last post? i’ ...
