I’d be happy to comment… I decided to try the Juice Feast for different reasons – my eating habits. While I knew in my head that 90% healthy eating was the goal towards entering a figure competition, my heart wasn’t in it. I could do the work, but not the “clean” eating that was so necessary. I heard about Joanne through a friend who had won vegan desserts in a Christmas contest. Ever skeptical, I had tried these vegan chocolate desserts and was instantly hooked. I visited Jo’s website and noticed that she was starting a Juice Feast in March. At that point, I was willing to try something different if it would help in getting rid of the bad eating habits. I signed up, not knowing what I was getting into, and up until the first day, I had my doubts. For the 3 days leading up to the Feast, I had to get my body ready, and that meant cutting out the worst culprit, caffeine. It was the hardest thing to do, and I almost gave up. However on the day before the feast, my withdrawal symptoms (nasty headache and tiredness) had gone, which amazed me. The first 3 days of the Feast were the worst. I had taken the week off work, and I’m so glad I did! I was tired, sleeping a lot and grumpy. I did get outside (walks to the grocery store to pick up more produce), but that was all I could manage. But on the fourth day, I felt different. More in tune, and my mind was sharper, more focused. The rest of the 10 days flew by after that; it was getting easier to just have juice. I admit there were a couple of days (day 5 and 6) where I had the craziest craving for sardines! Don’t know why, but I would eat them, and then get right back to the Feast. When I had finished, my former favourite foods had no appeal. Your taste buds are clean from any fast food junk. Eat chips? Yuck! High fat fast food? Your stomach will make you regret it. I actually did test this, and it was not a pleasant experience, let me tell you! Your body appreciates the taste of raw living foods over anything else – believe me, I know and I was the one with the greatest doubts. It’s been 6 weeks, and I’m still juicing, supplemented with a lot of raw living foods and a little meat. I have noticed that a couple of old habits have slipped back in (tea and sugar), so I’m weaning myself off the drink this week. I’m not 100% vegan, but my consumption of dairy, meats and processed foods has gone WAY down, thanks to this Juice Feast. Oh yeah, that enema bag thing? Haven’t done it yet, because I’m too nervous! Lol But it looks like I’ll have to get the nerve up. If Nate can do it, then hell, so can I! :) Hi Nate! I’d be happy to comment…
