Introduction

A lot of people start the year off with resolutions to diet fast or participate in a detox or cleanse Cleansing is a great way to give your digestive system a break and lose a little weight while doing it In my opinion the most effective way to cleanse and rebuild the body is through a Juice Feast This is because fresh squeezed juice is PACKED with nutrients ldquoItrsquos a fact nothing is more live-enzyme rich than freshly extracted vegetable juices Ounce for ounce it is the most enzyme-loaded easily absorbable form of nutrition available on the planet todayrdquo(1) Itrsquos like taking the biggest baddest daily multi ever Therersquos no fiber for the body to digest or process so the nutrients are able to be absorbed immediately into the blood stream Irsquove had so many clients give up coffee or stimulants naturally once they incorporat-ed green juice into their daily routine They find they get their energy boost from the nutrients and no longer need caffeine Itrsquos pretty remarkable how quickly the body responds once our basic needs are met

Fresh squeezed juices are also full of LIFE FORCE No cleansing supplements or dai-ly multi vitamins can compare to a freshly extracted juice want to know why Because theyrsquore dead Even if a vitamin is made of all natural organic amazingly exotic ingredients it will no longer have its life force The body is a living breathing organism that is full of life force energy and it needs LIVE nutrition to function at its best

ldquoDid you know that you are made of living light-energy In 1905 Albert Einstein created what is now the most famous equation in physics E=mc2 What this tells us is that all matter actu-ally consists of different variations of vibratory light energy patterns All matter including your body is made up entirely of pulsating living light-energyrdquo (2)

Even the best supplements are no match for buzzing vibrating living nutrients Living foods = raw fruits and vegetables that have not been heated over 118F degrees The clients I have worked with that have seen the best results are the ones who changed their lifestyles by im-plementing a large quantity of living foods into their diet One of the first things I recommend for weight loss is to make juicing a daily ritual It is the most effective and transformational tool that I can offer You can start living a healthier more vibrant existence by making an amazing vibrating nutritious green juice in the morning for breakfast

You can take juicing to the next level by Juice Feasting Our bodies spend SOOOO much en-ergy just digesting our food Ever feel like taking a nap after lunch Yeah thatrsquos because your poor bod had to stop everything and send all of its resources to your gut to try to break down the meal Itrsquos like sitting at your desk working on a project and then along comes another project that needs to be done NOW You feel overwhelmedhellipyou havenrsquot even finished the first project yet

The first project is breakfast and before breakfast is done here comes the second project lunch Now yoursquove got one meal sitting on top of the other and the body is struggling to keep up and starting to feel lethargic (Irsquom sure wersquove all experienced this mid-day slump around 2 or 3pm) Next comes a snack then dinner then desserthellipand by the end of the day we are totally drained with no energy This happens on a daily basis Our bodies are doing everything they can just to keep up and it leaves us feeling tired overweight foggy distracted grumpy moody and unmotivated This is where the amazing power of juice feasting comes in

What is a Juice Feast

Angela Stokes said it best ldquoJuice FEASTING involves consuming only fresh raw vegetable and fruit juicesto cleanse the body of old toxins and waste It gives your digestive system a break from solids freeing up energy usually required to break down food to work on bigger jobs such as regenerating and rebuilding You will also be getting a break from any refined sugars processed starches animal products other cooked foods or stimulants you may nor-mally ingest This alone makes a HUGE difference for most people This is termed a lsquoFEASTrsquo rather than lsquoFASTrsquo because one gets ALL the calories one would normally get in a day (ie 1500 for an average woman) ndash from at least 4 litres1 gallon of fresh juice daily (green veg-etable juices fruit juices and coconut water all included) Often when people fast they take in very small amounts of liquidcalories the metabolism slows their energy slumps and they may feel quite dysfunctional Juice Feasting works differently supporting the feaster to be very functional in daily life and meeting all calorie needs while experiencing massive cleans-ing on a cellular levelrdquo(3)

Juice Feasting means having as much juice as you like Yoursquoll be having fresh fruit and veg-etable juices only no fiber no solids and no store bought or pre-made pasteurized juices The only store bought juices that would be appropriate are fresh made juices from a juice bar

Why Juice Feast

Give Your Body a Break With Easily Absorbed Nutrients

There are SO many reasons why juicing is beneficial Juice requires hardly any digestion so all its nutritional goodness absorbs rapidly into your system while simultaneously giving your digestive system a rest ldquoJuicing your food removes the fibre and thereby removes the need for your body to break down and digest that fibre Without the fibre in the way your body can more readily absorb and assimilate the nutrients faster straight from the juice As digestion is

6

easier your body can then use the saved energy to clean out old matter especially from the small intestine and colon The average person holds 5-10lbs2-5kg of toxic old matter in their intestine and colon and Feasting is an ideal way to release it Free from the constant flow of waste usually passing through the intestines can release old mucus foods and bacteria that may be fermenting and causing problems Far from being a time of lsquodeprivationrsquo this extraor-dinary healing programme is an experience of abundance massive nutritional intake and huge shifts in healthrdquo(3)

Cleansing

You give your WHOLE BODY a chance to ldquoclean houserdquo Without the added burden of diges-tion which takes a LOT of time and energy the body is now free to work on other things like detoxing the liver and kidneyshellipand the remains of all those processed foods you used to eat ldquoWhen we drink raw vegetable juices the situation is entirely different as these [micronu-trients] are digested and assimilated within 10 to 15 minutes after we drink them and they are used almost entirely in the nourishment and regeneration of the cells and tissues glands and organs of the body In this case the result is obvious as the entire process of digestion and assimilation is completed with a maximum degree of speed and efficiency and with a mini-mum of effort on the part of the digestive systemrdquo (4)

Enzymes are Essential

Raw fruits and vegetables contain something that cannot be found in any other food live en-zymes ldquoEnzymes are the catalyst for every human functionhellipthe standard cooked American fare uses up enzymes in digestion without replacing them and over time we become enzyme impoverished We perceive this as a slowing metabolism Of course our body is going to slow down if we are running low on our ldquoworkersrdquo Yoursquoll see for yourself how your metabolism will increase when you start feeding your body live enzymes

When you eat uncooked plant food you are taking in large amounts of live enzymes (live

7

enzymes mean active enzymes or enzymes that have not been destroyed by heat at tem-peratures of 118F and above) The more enzymes you take in through raw plant food the wealthier your enzyme bank account becomes The wealthier you are in enzymes the more fuel you will have to complete the chores that your body must do If your body can get back to maximum production (as it did in your youth) you will suddenly find yourself living in a younger feeling bodyrdquo (1)

Heart Health

Both antioxidant vitamins C and E prevent the damaging effect of free radicals on artery walls They prevent blood from sticking clotting or becoming toxic as well as helping to lower tri-glycerides levels Great levels of vitamin C can be found in most fruits and vegetables Good levels of vitamin E can be attained by adding blackberries kiwi asparagus and spinach in your juice recipes

Liver Detoxification

One of the primary functions of the liver is to serve as the bodyrsquos detoxifier It is involved with detoxifying harmful substances (like environmental toxins chemicals food additives preservatives drugs etc) before they can enter the bloodstream and harm the body Peri-odic cleansing of the liver through juicing can be important in maintaining good health Fresh juices reduce the burden on the liver and give it a chance to catch up Juicing allows the liver to rid itself of accumulated toxins thus permitting it to operate more efficiently

With all of those benefits how could you NOT do a juice feast I know what yoursquore thinking ldquoI could NEVER do thatldquo Let me tell you Irsquove had many clients and friends that went from fast food loving pizza eating beer guzzling junk food lovers to drinking 4 quarts of fresh squeezed juices per day and loving it If they can do it YOU CAN DO IT Seriously take my word on this

If you need more inspiration I highly recommend that you watch the documentary Fat Sick and Nearly Dead streaming live on Netflix It will be all the inspiration you need

What Results Can I Expect

The benefits of Juice Feasting are plenty Here are just some of the benefits

raquo Weight loss

raquo Clearer skin

raquo Improved focus and mental clarity

raquo Improved heart and cardiovascular function

raquo Improved vision

raquo Anti-Aging

raquo Reduction of inflammation

raquo Pain reduction

raquo Reduction of cellulite

raquo Reduction of wrinkles

raquo Strengthened immune system

raquo Better digestion

raquo Better overall mood

raquo Healthier hair skin and nails

raquo Energy

ldquoWhen you consistently drink fresh raw juice especially vegetable juice that includes plenty of dark leafy greens along with eating lots of vegetables and fruit and a very healthy diet your whole internal environment changes Juice which is rich in antioxidants cleanses the body of stored wastes and toxins that interfere with the proper functioning of cells and organs This garden-in-a-glass offers an abundance of vitamins minerals enzymes phytonutrients and antioxidants ndash a cornucopia of nutrients that increase the mirco-electric potential of the cells This improves the bodyrsquos use of oxygen so the muscles and both the muscles and brain are energized

A recent study which evaluated surveys of 500 people on a living foods diet showed amazing health benefits from choosing raw foods (Freshly made juice is the supreme raw food) The study showed that more than 80 percent of the people surveyed lost weight But that was only

9

the beginning of their transformation These people reported marked improvements in immu-nity digestion allergies womenrsquos issues and chronic illness They enjoyed better sleep and the need for less of it

They also described improvement in many skin conditions such as eczema skin eruptions dryness oiliness and susceptibility to sunburns Their hair grew thicker stronger and more lustrous with decreased thinness weakness oiliness dryness dullness and dandruff Nail strength improved Body odor decreased sharply while eyesight and sense of smell improved There was a marked increase in energy and a significant decrease in addictions and use of medications Results also showed a substantial decrease in allergies And the vast majority of respondents (875 percent) reported better mental emotional and spiritual healthrdquo (5)

10

Will I Be Hungry

The first 1-3 days can be the most difficult in terms of hunger ldquothat hunger may feel some-what uncomfortable and unfamiliar This is of course simply the body adjusting to a different volume of matter being introduced to the stomach The amount of calories you are getting is still the same - itrsquos just in different form- a form that allows for a flood of nutrient rich liquid to pass through your system dailyrdquo(3) That being said some people never experience hunger and feel incredibly satisfied during the Feast Irsquove had varying experiences Some of my Juice Feasts have been very smooth and effortless and others have been more challenging at first Irsquove found that this usually had more to do with my emotional state then a state of true physi-cal hunger

Juice Feasting is a wonderful time to get in touch with your body and itrsquos physical symptoms Most people find that they are not actually physically hungry but emotionally hungry We use food in so many ways to numb out to deal with stress when wersquore bored to celebrate to connect with others etc Very few of us stop to check-in with our bodies before we eat to make sure we are physically hungry This is actually a wonderful and important practice as most of us are emotional eaters Unconsciously we tend to use food as drug and Juice Feasting is going to bring that all to light When wersquore stressed or sad we grab a snack and get instant gratification When solid food is taken out of the equation we no longer have that ldquodrugrdquo or distraction and that can sometimes be quite uncomfortable As we go through the process of Feasting we learn and understand our bodies true physical cries for hunger versus the instances where we use food as a numbing agent or a distraction

So will you be physically hungry during the feast No but you may experience some emotion-al hunger and for that I recommend a walk outside a phone call to a supportive friend a long hot bubble bath journaling and sometimes just a good old nap will do the trick

Most people actually find that once they get into the Juice Feast it is much easier than they thought Remember this is a Feast Itrsquos about abundance with loads of delicious recipes to try

11

Daily Recommendations

1 gallon of freshly extracted juice per person per day is recommended however you may have some days where you require more or less than that Just make sure your body is satisfied there is no limit to how much juice you can consume There is no reason to deprive yourself or to force yourself to consume more juice if your body is not asking for it ldquoIt is defi-nitely important to keep your calorie intake up - it is not recommended to let your intake dip low as your metabolism will slow and your body will likely move into lsquostarvation modersquo espe-cially holding onto and fat it can find This can all create problems with future weight mainte-nancerdquo(3)

This is a time to really develop a connection with your body and listen to its signals It will tell you want it wants so use the gallon per day as a guideline not a rule

Try to buy organic if possible If you are using non-organic fruits and veggies you may want to peel them before juicing (ie cucumber)

Colon Cleansing

I strongly encourage regular colon cleansing during your Feast This will help you gain the greatest benefit from your cleanse and also help tremendously in preventing unpleasant detox symptoms like fatigue cravings and moods swings My favorite product is Mag07 (see lsquoRe-sourcesrsquo section at the end of this e-book for info on the brand and where to order) Yoursquoll take it daily during the juice feast according to the instructions on the bottle Itrsquos also great to use anytime you want to cleanse not just during a juice feast

If you can I also strongly encourage getting gravity fed colonics They will take your Juice Feasting experience to the next level in terms of health weight loss energy skin and more Just Google ldquocolon hydrotherapyrdquo to see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area

12

Breaking the Feast

In many ways breaking your juice feast is just as important as the actual cleanse As a gen-eral rule you want to take half of the total days of your cleanse to ease back into solids For example if you feast for 10days take 5 days to ease back into solids The key word being ease Breaking the feast will look something like this

Day 1 amp 2 Juice for breakfast a smoothie and some fruit for lunch juice as a snack and blended veggie soup for dinner (see my blog for raw blended soup recipes)

Day 3 amp 4 Juice for breakfast fruit as a snack blended soup and small veggie salad for lunch juice as a snack and a vegetarian meal for dinner

Day 5 Juice for breakfast vegetarian meal for lunch juice or smoothie as a snack mostly vegetable meal with a small amount of light protein (ie eggs fish small piece of organic chicken)

Day 6 and beyond resume your normal healthy diet Remember to continue to incorporate lots of living fruits vegetables and a daily juice in order to maintain the benefits of your feast

Tips

raquo Buy in bulk Yoursquoll need way more produce than you think you do

raquo Make your juices ahead of time Although fresh is always best I typically make all of my juices for the day in the morning Itrsquos just easier that way With a busy work day I donrsquot have the time to stop and make each juice fresh I store my juices in quart size mason jars with the lid securely fastened You can also freeze your juices ahead of time if needed Just take them out the night before to thaw or take them with you in the morning and they should be thawed by the afternoon

raquo Carry a toothbrush Your tongue may develop a slight coating due to the detox This can be remedied by tongue scraping (look for a tongue scraper at your local drugstore) or brushing your teeth and tongue with a toothbrush

raquo Look up local juice barshealth food stores that serve fresh squeezed juices This isnrsquot an option for everyone but can be a lifesaver if yoursquore out of produce on the go or just donrsquot feel like making your own juices

raquo Get your greens on Fruit juices can cause bloating or energy crashes for some people If you are experiencing bloating make sure you temper your juices by adding a good amount of greens and reducing the amount of fruit in the recipe If you need to sweeten use stevia instead

raquo Have fun experimenting with different combos Remember there are no rules so have fun trying different recipes and making up your own

raquo Have a support system Look online or to a close friend or family member for support Having someone there to listen and cheer you on can make a world of difference Irsquom al-ways here too so Facebook or tweet me and let me know how things are going

raquo Take time out for self-care Massages hot candle lit bubble baths long walks fresh air journaling meditation naps facials or renting a funny movie are all great ways to pamper and nurture yourself during the cleanse

FAQ

Why juice the vegetables instead of eating them

Imagine chopping all of your juicing ingredients into a bowl and eating them with a fork It would take a tremendous amount of time not to mention a lot of chewing By juicing them we can ingest the essential living nutrients chlorophyll minerals and enzymes in a matter of minutes without expending any digestive energy In addition to getting innumerable amounts of enzymes from drinking vegetable juices there also are enzymes trapped deep inside the fibers of fresh vegetables that we canrsquot absorb through normal digestion but can be released by a juicer (1)

Is a juicer different from a blender

Yes A juicer separates the juice from the fiber of the fruit and vegies leaving you with only the mineral and nutrient packed water If you put your juicing ingredients into a blender it will simply puree the items together making a blended soup or smoothie When the juice is sepa-rated from the fiber with a juicer we can ingest much more nutrition because the fiber does not get in the way and fill us up The organic water that is extracted from the fruits and veg-etables contains all of the vitamins minerals and enzymes from the plant With the absence of roughage from fiber the enzymes can be absorbed directly into the cells and get to work cleansing the body of waste This means a slimmer more vibrant healthier you (1)

What if I get cravings

If you are getting cravings the first thing you want to do is drink more juice Sometimes thatrsquos all the body needs Another key to controlling cravings is making sure that you are colon cleansing either with the Mag07 supplement that I recommend or through gravity fed colon-ics If you are having emotional cravings you may want to move your body by taking a walk doing yoga light stretching rebounding or even cleaning A lot of people go into cleaning

mode while on a juice feast Itrsquos an interesting phenomenon I guess on an unconscious level when our bodies are cleaning house internally we desire our external environment to be clean as well Sometimes fresh air and sunshine will do the trick Journaling or meditation can also be helpful and there is nothing better than a nice long bath with relaxing music and candles Remember juice feasting is all about taking care of YOU so take the time to pamper yourself when needed

Can I exercise

Yes you can exercise but you want to check in with your body first Some people work out daily during their juice feasts and others find that their body just wants to rest There is no right or wrong answer here Just listen to your body and honor it either way

Will I be tired

Same as above Some people feel very energized during their juice feasts and others feel quite tired or lazy You may even find that you fluctuate between the two

What if I donrsquot feel well

If you donrsquot feel well there are a few things you can do Getting a good gravity-fed colonic is always the best option It will help with the detoxification process and clear out the old toxic waste that is trying to leave the body and thus causing symptoms Just Google ldquocolon hydro-therapyrdquo and see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area I also love Epsom salt baths They are wonderfully soothing and help with detoxification Sometimes a good nap is in order Remember your body is going through a major cleansing Sleep will help restore and rejuvenate the body

Should I Weigh Myself

I do not recommend weighing yourself before during or after the cleanse Remember that the main goal of juicing feasting is HEALTH Weight loss is a common and appreciated side effect but itrsquos not the main goal A healthy body naturally achieves a normal weight A true cleanse is more about our bodyrsquos reshaping and cleansing of waste which will result more in lost inches than total pounds lost With this lifestyle you may drop 2 jean sizes but only lose 5 lbs Even though the weight loss is not huge you are a completely different size shape and a much smaller person Remember this is why I say DONrsquoT WEIGH yourself Instead focus on how you feel and how your clothes fit This will also prevent mental games and sabotage both dur-ing and after your cleanse You will naturally lose weight but that should not be the focus or the goal of the cleanse Focus on HEALTH and the rest will come

Angela Stokes said it best ldquoJuice FEASTING involves consuming only fresh raw vegetable and fruit juicesto cleanse the body of old toxins and waste It gives your digestive system a break from solids freeing up energy usually required to break down food to work on bigger jobs such as regenerating and rebuilding You will also be getting a break from any refined sugars processed starches animal products other cooked foods or stimulants you may nor-mally ingest This alone makes a HUGE difference for most people This is termed a lsquoFEASTrsquo rather than lsquoFASTrsquo because one gets ALL the calories one would normally get in a day (ie 1500 for an average woman) ndash from at least 4 litres1 gallon of fresh juice daily (green veg-etable juices fruit juices and coconut water all included) Often when people fast they take in very small amounts of liquidcalories the metabolism slows their energy slumps and they may feel quite dysfunctional Juice Feasting works differently supporting the feaster to be very functional in daily life and meeting all calorie needs while experiencing massive cleans-ing on a cellular levelrdquo(3)

Juice Feasting means having as much juice as you like Yoursquoll be having fresh fruit and veg-etable juices only no fiber no solids and no store bought or pre-made pasteurized juices The only store bought juices that would be appropriate are fresh made juices from a juice bar

Why Juice Feast

Give Your Body a Break With Easily Absorbed Nutrients

There are SO many reasons why juicing is beneficial Juice requires hardly any digestion so all its nutritional goodness absorbs rapidly into your system while simultaneously giving your digestive system a rest ldquoJuicing your food removes the fibre and thereby removes the need for your body to break down and digest that fibre Without the fibre in the way your body can more readily absorb and assimilate the nutrients faster straight from the juice As digestion is

6

easier your body can then use the saved energy to clean out old matter especially from the small intestine and colon The average person holds 5-10lbs2-5kg of toxic old matter in their intestine and colon and Feasting is an ideal way to release it Free from the constant flow of waste usually passing through the intestines can release old mucus foods and bacteria that may be fermenting and causing problems Far from being a time of lsquodeprivationrsquo this extraor-dinary healing programme is an experience of abundance massive nutritional intake and huge shifts in healthrdquo(3)

Cleansing

You give your WHOLE BODY a chance to ldquoclean houserdquo Without the added burden of diges-tion which takes a LOT of time and energy the body is now free to work on other things like detoxing the liver and kidneyshellipand the remains of all those processed foods you used to eat ldquoWhen we drink raw vegetable juices the situation is entirely different as these [micronu-trients] are digested and assimilated within 10 to 15 minutes after we drink them and they are used almost entirely in the nourishment and regeneration of the cells and tissues glands and organs of the body In this case the result is obvious as the entire process of digestion and assimilation is completed with a maximum degree of speed and efficiency and with a mini-mum of effort on the part of the digestive systemrdquo (4)

Enzymes are Essential

Raw fruits and vegetables contain something that cannot be found in any other food live en-zymes ldquoEnzymes are the catalyst for every human functionhellipthe standard cooked American fare uses up enzymes in digestion without replacing them and over time we become enzyme impoverished We perceive this as a slowing metabolism Of course our body is going to slow down if we are running low on our ldquoworkersrdquo Yoursquoll see for yourself how your metabolism will increase when you start feeding your body live enzymes

When you eat uncooked plant food you are taking in large amounts of live enzymes (live

7

enzymes mean active enzymes or enzymes that have not been destroyed by heat at tem-peratures of 118F and above) The more enzymes you take in through raw plant food the wealthier your enzyme bank account becomes The wealthier you are in enzymes the more fuel you will have to complete the chores that your body must do If your body can get back to maximum production (as it did in your youth) you will suddenly find yourself living in a younger feeling bodyrdquo (1)

Heart Health

Both antioxidant vitamins C and E prevent the damaging effect of free radicals on artery walls They prevent blood from sticking clotting or becoming toxic as well as helping to lower tri-glycerides levels Great levels of vitamin C can be found in most fruits and vegetables Good levels of vitamin E can be attained by adding blackberries kiwi asparagus and spinach in your juice recipes

Liver Detoxification

One of the primary functions of the liver is to serve as the bodyrsquos detoxifier It is involved with detoxifying harmful substances (like environmental toxins chemicals food additives preservatives drugs etc) before they can enter the bloodstream and harm the body Peri-odic cleansing of the liver through juicing can be important in maintaining good health Fresh juices reduce the burden on the liver and give it a chance to catch up Juicing allows the liver to rid itself of accumulated toxins thus permitting it to operate more efficiently

With all of those benefits how could you NOT do a juice feast I know what yoursquore thinking ldquoI could NEVER do thatldquo Let me tell you Irsquove had many clients and friends that went from fast food loving pizza eating beer guzzling junk food lovers to drinking 4 quarts of fresh squeezed juices per day and loving it If they can do it YOU CAN DO IT Seriously take my word on this

If you need more inspiration I highly recommend that you watch the documentary Fat Sick and Nearly Dead streaming live on Netflix It will be all the inspiration you need

What Results Can I Expect

The benefits of Juice Feasting are plenty Here are just some of the benefits

raquo Weight loss

raquo Clearer skin

raquo Improved focus and mental clarity

raquo Improved heart and cardiovascular function

raquo Improved vision

raquo Anti-Aging

raquo Reduction of inflammation

raquo Pain reduction

raquo Reduction of cellulite

raquo Reduction of wrinkles

raquo Strengthened immune system

raquo Better digestion

raquo Better overall mood

raquo Healthier hair skin and nails

raquo Energy

ldquoWhen you consistently drink fresh raw juice especially vegetable juice that includes plenty of dark leafy greens along with eating lots of vegetables and fruit and a very healthy diet your whole internal environment changes Juice which is rich in antioxidants cleanses the body of stored wastes and toxins that interfere with the proper functioning of cells and organs This garden-in-a-glass offers an abundance of vitamins minerals enzymes phytonutrients and antioxidants ndash a cornucopia of nutrients that increase the mirco-electric potential of the cells This improves the bodyrsquos use of oxygen so the muscles and both the muscles and brain are energized

A recent study which evaluated surveys of 500 people on a living foods diet showed amazing health benefits from choosing raw foods (Freshly made juice is the supreme raw food) The study showed that more than 80 percent of the people surveyed lost weight But that was only

9

the beginning of their transformation These people reported marked improvements in immu-nity digestion allergies womenrsquos issues and chronic illness They enjoyed better sleep and the need for less of it

They also described improvement in many skin conditions such as eczema skin eruptions dryness oiliness and susceptibility to sunburns Their hair grew thicker stronger and more lustrous with decreased thinness weakness oiliness dryness dullness and dandruff Nail strength improved Body odor decreased sharply while eyesight and sense of smell improved There was a marked increase in energy and a significant decrease in addictions and use of medications Results also showed a substantial decrease in allergies And the vast majority of respondents (875 percent) reported better mental emotional and spiritual healthrdquo (5)

10

Will I Be Hungry

The first 1-3 days can be the most difficult in terms of hunger ldquothat hunger may feel some-what uncomfortable and unfamiliar This is of course simply the body adjusting to a different volume of matter being introduced to the stomach The amount of calories you are getting is still the same - itrsquos just in different form- a form that allows for a flood of nutrient rich liquid to pass through your system dailyrdquo(3) That being said some people never experience hunger and feel incredibly satisfied during the Feast Irsquove had varying experiences Some of my Juice Feasts have been very smooth and effortless and others have been more challenging at first Irsquove found that this usually had more to do with my emotional state then a state of true physi-cal hunger

Juice Feasting is a wonderful time to get in touch with your body and itrsquos physical symptoms Most people find that they are not actually physically hungry but emotionally hungry We use food in so many ways to numb out to deal with stress when wersquore bored to celebrate to connect with others etc Very few of us stop to check-in with our bodies before we eat to make sure we are physically hungry This is actually a wonderful and important practice as most of us are emotional eaters Unconsciously we tend to use food as drug and Juice Feasting is going to bring that all to light When wersquore stressed or sad we grab a snack and get instant gratification When solid food is taken out of the equation we no longer have that ldquodrugrdquo or distraction and that can sometimes be quite uncomfortable As we go through the process of Feasting we learn and understand our bodies true physical cries for hunger versus the instances where we use food as a numbing agent or a distraction

So will you be physically hungry during the feast No but you may experience some emotion-al hunger and for that I recommend a walk outside a phone call to a supportive friend a long hot bubble bath journaling and sometimes just a good old nap will do the trick

Most people actually find that once they get into the Juice Feast it is much easier than they thought Remember this is a Feast Itrsquos about abundance with loads of delicious recipes to try

11

Daily Recommendations

1 gallon of freshly extracted juice per person per day is recommended however you may have some days where you require more or less than that Just make sure your body is satisfied there is no limit to how much juice you can consume There is no reason to deprive yourself or to force yourself to consume more juice if your body is not asking for it ldquoIt is defi-nitely important to keep your calorie intake up - it is not recommended to let your intake dip low as your metabolism will slow and your body will likely move into lsquostarvation modersquo espe-cially holding onto and fat it can find This can all create problems with future weight mainte-nancerdquo(3)

This is a time to really develop a connection with your body and listen to its signals It will tell you want it wants so use the gallon per day as a guideline not a rule

Try to buy organic if possible If you are using non-organic fruits and veggies you may want to peel them before juicing (ie cucumber)

Colon Cleansing

I strongly encourage regular colon cleansing during your Feast This will help you gain the greatest benefit from your cleanse and also help tremendously in preventing unpleasant detox symptoms like fatigue cravings and moods swings My favorite product is Mag07 (see lsquoRe-sourcesrsquo section at the end of this e-book for info on the brand and where to order) Yoursquoll take it daily during the juice feast according to the instructions on the bottle Itrsquos also great to use anytime you want to cleanse not just during a juice feast

If you can I also strongly encourage getting gravity fed colonics They will take your Juice Feasting experience to the next level in terms of health weight loss energy skin and more Just Google ldquocolon hydrotherapyrdquo to see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area

12

Breaking the Feast

In many ways breaking your juice feast is just as important as the actual cleanse As a gen-eral rule you want to take half of the total days of your cleanse to ease back into solids For example if you feast for 10days take 5 days to ease back into solids The key word being ease Breaking the feast will look something like this

Day 1 amp 2 Juice for breakfast a smoothie and some fruit for lunch juice as a snack and blended veggie soup for dinner (see my blog for raw blended soup recipes)

Day 3 amp 4 Juice for breakfast fruit as a snack blended soup and small veggie salad for lunch juice as a snack and a vegetarian meal for dinner

Day 5 Juice for breakfast vegetarian meal for lunch juice or smoothie as a snack mostly vegetable meal with a small amount of light protein (ie eggs fish small piece of organic chicken)

Day 6 and beyond resume your normal healthy diet Remember to continue to incorporate lots of living fruits vegetables and a daily juice in order to maintain the benefits of your feast

Tips

raquo Buy in bulk Yoursquoll need way more produce than you think you do

raquo Make your juices ahead of time Although fresh is always best I typically make all of my juices for the day in the morning Itrsquos just easier that way With a busy work day I donrsquot have the time to stop and make each juice fresh I store my juices in quart size mason jars with the lid securely fastened You can also freeze your juices ahead of time if needed Just take them out the night before to thaw or take them with you in the morning and they should be thawed by the afternoon

raquo Carry a toothbrush Your tongue may develop a slight coating due to the detox This can be remedied by tongue scraping (look for a tongue scraper at your local drugstore) or brushing your teeth and tongue with a toothbrush

raquo Look up local juice barshealth food stores that serve fresh squeezed juices This isnrsquot an option for everyone but can be a lifesaver if yoursquore out of produce on the go or just donrsquot feel like making your own juices

raquo Get your greens on Fruit juices can cause bloating or energy crashes for some people If you are experiencing bloating make sure you temper your juices by adding a good amount of greens and reducing the amount of fruit in the recipe If you need to sweeten use stevia instead

raquo Have fun experimenting with different combos Remember there are no rules so have fun trying different recipes and making up your own

raquo Have a support system Look online or to a close friend or family member for support Having someone there to listen and cheer you on can make a world of difference Irsquom al-ways here too so Facebook or tweet me and let me know how things are going

raquo Take time out for self-care Massages hot candle lit bubble baths long walks fresh air journaling meditation naps facials or renting a funny movie are all great ways to pamper and nurture yourself during the cleanse

FAQ

Why juice the vegetables instead of eating them

Imagine chopping all of your juicing ingredients into a bowl and eating them with a fork It would take a tremendous amount of time not to mention a lot of chewing By juicing them we can ingest the essential living nutrients chlorophyll minerals and enzymes in a matter of minutes without expending any digestive energy In addition to getting innumerable amounts of enzymes from drinking vegetable juices there also are enzymes trapped deep inside the fibers of fresh vegetables that we canrsquot absorb through normal digestion but can be released by a juicer (1)

Is a juicer different from a blender

Yes A juicer separates the juice from the fiber of the fruit and vegies leaving you with only the mineral and nutrient packed water If you put your juicing ingredients into a blender it will simply puree the items together making a blended soup or smoothie When the juice is sepa-rated from the fiber with a juicer we can ingest much more nutrition because the fiber does not get in the way and fill us up The organic water that is extracted from the fruits and veg-etables contains all of the vitamins minerals and enzymes from the plant With the absence of roughage from fiber the enzymes can be absorbed directly into the cells and get to work cleansing the body of waste This means a slimmer more vibrant healthier you (1)

What if I get cravings

If you are getting cravings the first thing you want to do is drink more juice Sometimes thatrsquos all the body needs Another key to controlling cravings is making sure that you are colon cleansing either with the Mag07 supplement that I recommend or through gravity fed colon-ics If you are having emotional cravings you may want to move your body by taking a walk doing yoga light stretching rebounding or even cleaning A lot of people go into cleaning

mode while on a juice feast Itrsquos an interesting phenomenon I guess on an unconscious level when our bodies are cleaning house internally we desire our external environment to be clean as well Sometimes fresh air and sunshine will do the trick Journaling or meditation can also be helpful and there is nothing better than a nice long bath with relaxing music and candles Remember juice feasting is all about taking care of YOU so take the time to pamper yourself when needed

Can I exercise

Yes you can exercise but you want to check in with your body first Some people work out daily during their juice feasts and others find that their body just wants to rest There is no right or wrong answer here Just listen to your body and honor it either way

Will I be tired

Same as above Some people feel very energized during their juice feasts and others feel quite tired or lazy You may even find that you fluctuate between the two

What if I donrsquot feel well

If you donrsquot feel well there are a few things you can do Getting a good gravity-fed colonic is always the best option It will help with the detoxification process and clear out the old toxic waste that is trying to leave the body and thus causing symptoms Just Google ldquocolon hydro-therapyrdquo and see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area I also love Epsom salt baths They are wonderfully soothing and help with detoxification Sometimes a good nap is in order Remember your body is going through a major cleansing Sleep will help restore and rejuvenate the body

Should I Weigh Myself

I do not recommend weighing yourself before during or after the cleanse Remember that the main goal of juicing feasting is HEALTH Weight loss is a common and appreciated side effect but itrsquos not the main goal A healthy body naturally achieves a normal weight A true cleanse is more about our bodyrsquos reshaping and cleansing of waste which will result more in lost inches than total pounds lost With this lifestyle you may drop 2 jean sizes but only lose 5 lbs Even though the weight loss is not huge you are a completely different size shape and a much smaller person Remember this is why I say DONrsquoT WEIGH yourself Instead focus on how you feel and how your clothes fit This will also prevent mental games and sabotage both dur-ing and after your cleanse You will naturally lose weight but that should not be the focus or the goal of the cleanse Focus on HEALTH and the rest will come

ldquoWhen you consistently drink fresh raw juice especially vegetable juice that includes plenty of dark leafy greens along with eating lots of vegetables and fruit and a very healthy diet your whole internal environment changes Juice which is rich in antioxidants cleanses the body of stored wastes and toxins that interfere with the proper functioning of cells and organs This garden-in-a-glass offers an abundance of vitamins minerals enzymes phytonutrients and antioxidants ndash a cornucopia of nutrients that increase the mirco-electric potential of the cells This improves the bodyrsquos use of oxygen so the muscles and both the muscles and brain are energized

A recent study which evaluated surveys of 500 people on a living foods diet showed amazing health benefits from choosing raw foods (Freshly made juice is the supreme raw food) The study showed that more than 80 percent of the people surveyed lost weight But that was only

the beginning of their transformation These people reported marked improvements in immu-nity digestion allergies womenrsquos issues and chronic illness They enjoyed better sleep and the need for less of it

Will I Be Hungry

The first 1-3 days can be the most difficult in terms of hunger ldquothat hunger may feel some-what uncomfortable and unfamiliar This is of course simply the body adjusting to a different volume of matter being introduced to the stomach The amount of calories you are getting is still the same - itrsquos just in different form- a form that allows for a flood of nutrient rich liquid to pass through your system dailyrdquo(3) That being said some people never experience hunger and feel incredibly satisfied during the Feast Irsquove had varying experiences Some of my Juice Feasts have been very smooth and effortless and others have been more challenging at first Irsquove found that this usually had more to do with my emotional state then a state of true physi-cal hunger

Juice Feasting is a wonderful time to get in touch with your body and itrsquos physical symptoms Most people find that they are not actually physically hungry but emotionally hungry We use food in so many ways to numb out to deal with stress when wersquore bored to celebrate to connect with others etc Very few of us stop to check-in with our bodies before we eat to make sure we are physically hungry This is actually a wonderful and important practice as most of us are emotional eaters Unconsciously we tend to use food as drug and Juice Feasting is going to bring that all to light When wersquore stressed or sad we grab a snack and get instant gratification When solid food is taken out of the equation we no longer have that ldquodrugrdquo or distraction and that can sometimes be quite uncomfortable As we go through the process of Feasting we learn and understand our bodies true physical cries for hunger versus the instances where we use food as a numbing agent or a distraction

So will you be physically hungry during the feast No but you may experience some emotion-al hunger and for that I recommend a walk outside a phone call to a supportive friend a long hot bubble bath journaling and sometimes just a good old nap will do the trick

Most people actually find that once they get into the Juice Feast it is much easier than they thought Remember this is a Feast Itrsquos about abundance with loads of delicious recipes to try

Daily Recommendations

1 gallon of freshly extracted juice per person per day is recommended however you may have some days where you require more or less than that Just make sure your body is satisfied there is no limit to how much juice you can consume There is no reason to deprive yourself or to force yourself to consume more juice if your body is not asking for it ldquoIt is defi-nitely important to keep your calorie intake up - it is not recommended to let your intake dip low as your metabolism will slow and your body will likely move into lsquostarvation modersquo espe-cially holding onto and fat it can find This can all create problems with future weight mainte-nancerdquo(3)

This is a time to really develop a connection with your body and listen to its signals It will tell you want it wants so use the gallon per day as a guideline not a rule

Try to buy organic if possible If you are using non-organic fruits and veggies you may want to peel them before juicing (ie cucumber)

Colon Cleansing

I strongly encourage regular colon cleansing during your Feast This will help you gain the greatest benefit from your cleanse and also help tremendously in preventing unpleasant detox symptoms like fatigue cravings and moods swings My favorite product is Mag07 (see lsquoRe-sourcesrsquo section at the end of this e-book for info on the brand and where to order) Yoursquoll take it daily during the juice feast according to the instructions on the bottle Itrsquos also great to use anytime you want to cleanse not just during a juice feast

If you can I also strongly encourage getting gravity fed colonics They will take your Juice Feasting experience to the next level in terms of health weight loss energy skin and more Just Google ldquocolon hydrotherapyrdquo to see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area

12

Breaking the Feast

In many ways breaking your juice feast is just as important as the actual cleanse As a gen-eral rule you want to take half of the total days of your cleanse to ease back into solids For example if you feast for 10days take 5 days to ease back into solids The key word being ease Breaking the feast will look something like this

Day 1 amp 2 Juice for breakfast a smoothie and some fruit for lunch juice as a snack and blended veggie soup for dinner (see my blog for raw blended soup recipes)

Day 3 amp 4 Juice for breakfast fruit as a snack blended soup and small veggie salad for lunch juice as a snack and a vegetarian meal for dinner

Day 5 Juice for breakfast vegetarian meal for lunch juice or smoothie as a snack mostly vegetable meal with a small amount of light protein (ie eggs fish small piece of organic chicken)

Day 6 and beyond resume your normal healthy diet Remember to continue to incorporate lots of living fruits vegetables and a daily juice in order to maintain the benefits of your feast

Tips

raquo Buy in bulk Yoursquoll need way more produce than you think you do

raquo Make your juices ahead of time Although fresh is always best I typically make all of my juices for the day in the morning Itrsquos just easier that way With a busy work day I donrsquot have the time to stop and make each juice fresh I store my juices in quart size mason jars with the lid securely fastened You can also freeze your juices ahead of time if needed Just take them out the night before to thaw or take them with you in the morning and they should be thawed by the afternoon

raquo Carry a toothbrush Your tongue may develop a slight coating due to the detox This can be remedied by tongue scraping (look for a tongue scraper at your local drugstore) or brushing your teeth and tongue with a toothbrush

raquo Look up local juice barshealth food stores that serve fresh squeezed juices This isnrsquot an option for everyone but can be a lifesaver if yoursquore out of produce on the go or just donrsquot feel like making your own juices

raquo Get your greens on Fruit juices can cause bloating or energy crashes for some people If you are experiencing bloating make sure you temper your juices by adding a good amount of greens and reducing the amount of fruit in the recipe If you need to sweeten use stevia instead

raquo Have fun experimenting with different combos Remember there are no rules so have fun trying different recipes and making up your own

raquo Have a support system Look online or to a close friend or family member for support Having someone there to listen and cheer you on can make a world of difference Irsquom al-ways here too so Facebook or tweet me and let me know how things are going

raquo Take time out for self-care Massages hot candle lit bubble baths long walks fresh air journaling meditation naps facials or renting a funny movie are all great ways to pamper and nurture yourself during the cleanse

FAQ

Why juice the vegetables instead of eating them

Imagine chopping all of your juicing ingredients into a bowl and eating them with a fork It would take a tremendous amount of time not to mention a lot of chewing By juicing them we can ingest the essential living nutrients chlorophyll minerals and enzymes in a matter of minutes without expending any digestive energy In addition to getting innumerable amounts of enzymes from drinking vegetable juices there also are enzymes trapped deep inside the fibers of fresh vegetables that we canrsquot absorb through normal digestion but can be released by a juicer (1)

Is a juicer different from a blender

Yes A juicer separates the juice from the fiber of the fruit and vegies leaving you with only the mineral and nutrient packed water If you put your juicing ingredients into a blender it will simply puree the items together making a blended soup or smoothie When the juice is sepa-rated from the fiber with a juicer we can ingest much more nutrition because the fiber does not get in the way and fill us up The organic water that is extracted from the fruits and veg-etables contains all of the vitamins minerals and enzymes from the plant With the absence of roughage from fiber the enzymes can be absorbed directly into the cells and get to work cleansing the body of waste This means a slimmer more vibrant healthier you (1)

What if I get cravings

If you are getting cravings the first thing you want to do is drink more juice Sometimes thatrsquos all the body needs Another key to controlling cravings is making sure that you are colon cleansing either with the Mag07 supplement that I recommend or through gravity fed colon-ics If you are having emotional cravings you may want to move your body by taking a walk doing yoga light stretching rebounding or even cleaning A lot of people go into cleaning

mode while on a juice feast Itrsquos an interesting phenomenon I guess on an unconscious level when our bodies are cleaning house internally we desire our external environment to be clean as well Sometimes fresh air and sunshine will do the trick Journaling or meditation can also be helpful and there is nothing better than a nice long bath with relaxing music and candles Remember juice feasting is all about taking care of YOU so take the time to pamper yourself when needed

Can I exercise

Yes you can exercise but you want to check in with your body first Some people work out daily during their juice feasts and others find that their body just wants to rest There is no right or wrong answer here Just listen to your body and honor it either way

Will I be tired

Same as above Some people feel very energized during their juice feasts and others feel quite tired or lazy You may even find that you fluctuate between the two

What if I donrsquot feel well

If you donrsquot feel well there are a few things you can do Getting a good gravity-fed colonic is always the best option It will help with the detoxification process and clear out the old toxic waste that is trying to leave the body and thus causing symptoms Just Google ldquocolon hydro-therapyrdquo and see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area I also love Epsom salt baths They are wonderfully soothing and help with detoxification Sometimes a good nap is in order Remember your body is going through a major cleansing Sleep will help restore and rejuvenate the body

Should I Weigh Myself

I do not recommend weighing yourself before during or after the cleanse Remember that the main goal of juicing feasting is HEALTH Weight loss is a common and appreciated side effect but itrsquos not the main goal A healthy body naturally achieves a normal weight A true cleanse is more about our bodyrsquos reshaping and cleansing of waste which will result more in lost inches than total pounds lost With this lifestyle you may drop 2 jean sizes but only lose 5 lbs Even though the weight loss is not huge you are a completely different size shape and a much smaller person Remember this is why I say DONrsquoT WEIGH yourself Instead focus on how you feel and how your clothes fit This will also prevent mental games and sabotage both dur-ing and after your cleanse You will naturally lose weight but that should not be the focus or the goal of the cleanse Focus on HEALTH and the rest will come

easier your body can then use the saved energy to clean out old matter especially from the small intestine and colon The average person holds 5-10lbs2-5kg of toxic old matter in their intestine and colon and Feasting is an ideal way to release it Free from the constant flow of waste usually passing through the intestines can release old mucus foods and bacteria that may be fermenting and causing problems Far from being a time of lsquodeprivationrsquo this extraor-dinary healing programme is an experience of abundance massive nutritional intake and huge shifts in healthrdquo(3)

Cleansing

You give your WHOLE BODY a chance to ldquoclean houserdquo Without the added burden of diges-tion which takes a LOT of time and energy the body is now free to work on other things like detoxing the liver and kidneyshellipand the remains of all those processed foods you used to eat ldquoWhen we drink raw vegetable juices the situation is entirely different as these [micronu-trients] are digested and assimilated within 10 to 15 minutes after we drink them and they are used almost entirely in the nourishment and regeneration of the cells and tissues glands and organs of the body In this case the result is obvious as the entire process of digestion and assimilation is completed with a maximum degree of speed and efficiency and with a mini-mum of effort on the part of the digestive systemrdquo (4)

Enzymes are Essential

Raw fruits and vegetables contain something that cannot be found in any other food live en-zymes ldquoEnzymes are the catalyst for every human functionhellipthe standard cooked American fare uses up enzymes in digestion without replacing them and over time we become enzyme impoverished We perceive this as a slowing metabolism Of course our body is going to slow down if we are running low on our ldquoworkersrdquo Yoursquoll see for yourself how your metabolism will increase when you start feeding your body live enzymes

When you eat uncooked plant food you are taking in large amounts of live enzymes (live

7

enzymes mean active enzymes or enzymes that have not been destroyed by heat at tem-peratures of 118F and above) The more enzymes you take in through raw plant food the wealthier your enzyme bank account becomes The wealthier you are in enzymes the more fuel you will have to complete the chores that your body must do If your body can get back to maximum production (as it did in your youth) you will suddenly find yourself living in a younger feeling bodyrdquo (1)

Heart Health

Both antioxidant vitamins C and E prevent the damaging effect of free radicals on artery walls They prevent blood from sticking clotting or becoming toxic as well as helping to lower tri-glycerides levels Great levels of vitamin C can be found in most fruits and vegetables Good levels of vitamin E can be attained by adding blackberries kiwi asparagus and spinach in your juice recipes

Liver Detoxification

One of the primary functions of the liver is to serve as the bodyrsquos detoxifier It is involved with detoxifying harmful substances (like environmental toxins chemicals food additives preservatives drugs etc) before they can enter the bloodstream and harm the body Peri-odic cleansing of the liver through juicing can be important in maintaining good health Fresh juices reduce the burden on the liver and give it a chance to catch up Juicing allows the liver to rid itself of accumulated toxins thus permitting it to operate more efficiently

With all of those benefits how could you NOT do a juice feast I know what yoursquore thinking ldquoI could NEVER do thatldquo Let me tell you Irsquove had many clients and friends that went from fast food loving pizza eating beer guzzling junk food lovers to drinking 4 quarts of fresh squeezed juices per day and loving it If they can do it YOU CAN DO IT Seriously take my word on this

If you need more inspiration I highly recommend that you watch the documentary Fat Sick and Nearly Dead streaming live on Netflix It will be all the inspiration you need

Will I Be Hungry

The first 1-3 days can be the most difficult in terms of hunger ldquothat hunger may feel some-what uncomfortable and unfamiliar This is of course simply the body adjusting to a different volume of matter being introduced to the stomach The amount of calories you are getting is still the same - itrsquos just in different form- a form that allows for a flood of nutrient rich liquid to pass through your system dailyrdquo(3) That being said some people never experience hunger and feel incredibly satisfied during the Feast Irsquove had varying experiences Some of my Juice Feasts have been very smooth and effortless and others have been more challenging at first Irsquove found that this usually had more to do with my emotional state then a state of true physi-cal hunger

Juice Feasting is a wonderful time to get in touch with your body and itrsquos physical symptoms Most people find that they are not actually physically hungry but emotionally hungry We use food in so many ways to numb out to deal with stress when wersquore bored to celebrate to connect with others etc Very few of us stop to check-in with our bodies before we eat to make sure we are physically hungry This is actually a wonderful and important practice as most of us are emotional eaters Unconsciously we tend to use food as drug and Juice Feasting is going to bring that all to light When wersquore stressed or sad we grab a snack and get instant gratification When solid food is taken out of the equation we no longer have that ldquodrugrdquo or distraction and that can sometimes be quite uncomfortable As we go through the process of Feasting we learn and understand our bodies true physical cries for hunger versus the instances where we use food as a numbing agent or a distraction

Daily Recommendations

1 gallon of freshly extracted juice per person per day is recommended however you may have some days where you require more or less than that Just make sure your body is satisfied there is no limit to how much juice you can consume There is no reason to deprive yourself or to force yourself to consume more juice if your body is not asking for it ldquoIt is defi-nitely important to keep your calorie intake up - it is not recommended to let your intake dip low as your metabolism will slow and your body will likely move into lsquostarvation modersquo espe-cially holding onto and fat it can find This can all create problems with future weight mainte-nancerdquo(3)

This is a time to really develop a connection with your body and listen to its signals It will tell you want it wants so use the gallon per day as a guideline not a rule

Try to buy organic if possible If you are using non-organic fruits and veggies you may want to peel them before juicing (ie cucumber)

Colon Cleansing

I strongly encourage regular colon cleansing during your Feast This will help you gain the greatest benefit from your cleanse and also help tremendously in preventing unpleasant detox symptoms like fatigue cravings and moods swings My favorite product is Mag07 (see lsquoRe-sourcesrsquo section at the end of this e-book for info on the brand and where to order) Yoursquoll take it daily during the juice feast according to the instructions on the bottle Itrsquos also great to use anytime you want to cleanse not just during a juice feast

If you can I also strongly encourage getting gravity fed colonics They will take your Juice Feasting experience to the next level in terms of health weight loss energy skin and more Just Google ldquocolon hydrotherapyrdquo to see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area

Breaking the Feast

In many ways breaking your juice feast is just as important as the actual cleanse As a gen-eral rule you want to take half of the total days of your cleanse to ease back into solids For example if you feast for 10days take 5 days to ease back into solids The key word being ease Breaking the feast will look something like this

Tips

raquo Buy in bulk Yoursquoll need way more produce than you think you do

raquo Make your juices ahead of time Although fresh is always best I typically make all of my juices for the day in the morning Itrsquos just easier that way With a busy work day I donrsquot have the time to stop and make each juice fresh I store my juices in quart size mason jars with the lid securely fastened You can also freeze your juices ahead of time if needed Just take them out the night before to thaw or take them with you in the morning and they should be thawed by the afternoon

raquo Carry a toothbrush Your tongue may develop a slight coating due to the detox This can be remedied by tongue scraping (look for a tongue scraper at your local drugstore) or brushing your teeth and tongue with a toothbrush

raquo Look up local juice barshealth food stores that serve fresh squeezed juices This isnrsquot an option for everyone but can be a lifesaver if yoursquore out of produce on the go or just donrsquot feel like making your own juices

raquo Get your greens on Fruit juices can cause bloating or energy crashes for some people If you are experiencing bloating make sure you temper your juices by adding a good amount of greens and reducing the amount of fruit in the recipe If you need to sweeten use stevia instead

raquo Have fun experimenting with different combos Remember there are no rules so have fun trying different recipes and making up your own

raquo Have a support system Look online or to a close friend or family member for support Having someone there to listen and cheer you on can make a world of difference Irsquom al-ways here too so Facebook or tweet me and let me know how things are going

raquo Take time out for self-care Massages hot candle lit bubble baths long walks fresh air journaling meditation naps facials or renting a funny movie are all great ways to pamper and nurture yourself during the cleanse

FAQ

Why juice the vegetables instead of eating them

Imagine chopping all of your juicing ingredients into a bowl and eating them with a fork It would take a tremendous amount of time not to mention a lot of chewing By juicing them we can ingest the essential living nutrients chlorophyll minerals and enzymes in a matter of minutes without expending any digestive energy In addition to getting innumerable amounts of enzymes from drinking vegetable juices there also are enzymes trapped deep inside the fibers of fresh vegetables that we canrsquot absorb through normal digestion but can be released by a juicer (1)

Is a juicer different from a blender

Yes A juicer separates the juice from the fiber of the fruit and vegies leaving you with only the mineral and nutrient packed water If you put your juicing ingredients into a blender it will simply puree the items together making a blended soup or smoothie When the juice is sepa-rated from the fiber with a juicer we can ingest much more nutrition because the fiber does not get in the way and fill us up The organic water that is extracted from the fruits and veg-etables contains all of the vitamins minerals and enzymes from the plant With the absence of roughage from fiber the enzymes can be absorbed directly into the cells and get to work cleansing the body of waste This means a slimmer more vibrant healthier you (1)

What if I get cravings

If you are getting cravings the first thing you want to do is drink more juice Sometimes thatrsquos all the body needs Another key to controlling cravings is making sure that you are colon cleansing either with the Mag07 supplement that I recommend or through gravity fed colon-ics If you are having emotional cravings you may want to move your body by taking a walk doing yoga light stretching rebounding or even cleaning A lot of people go into cleaning

mode while on a juice feast Itrsquos an interesting phenomenon I guess on an unconscious level when our bodies are cleaning house internally we desire our external environment to be clean as well Sometimes fresh air and sunshine will do the trick Journaling or meditation can also be helpful and there is nothing better than a nice long bath with relaxing music and candles Remember juice feasting is all about taking care of YOU so take the time to pamper yourself when needed

Can I exercise

Yes you can exercise but you want to check in with your body first Some people work out daily during their juice feasts and others find that their body just wants to rest There is no right or wrong answer here Just listen to your body and honor it either way

Will I be tired

Same as above Some people feel very energized during their juice feasts and others feel quite tired or lazy You may even find that you fluctuate between the two

What if I donrsquot feel well

If you donrsquot feel well there are a few things you can do Getting a good gravity-fed colonic is always the best option It will help with the detoxification process and clear out the old toxic waste that is trying to leave the body and thus causing symptoms Just Google ldquocolon hydro-therapyrdquo and see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area I also love Epsom salt baths They are wonderfully soothing and help with detoxification Sometimes a good nap is in order Remember your body is going through a major cleansing Sleep will help restore and rejuvenate the body

Should I Weigh Myself

I do not recommend weighing yourself before during or after the cleanse Remember that the main goal of juicing feasting is HEALTH Weight loss is a common and appreciated side effect but itrsquos not the main goal A healthy body naturally achieves a normal weight A true cleanse is more about our bodyrsquos reshaping and cleansing of waste which will result more in lost inches than total pounds lost With this lifestyle you may drop 2 jean sizes but only lose 5 lbs Even though the weight loss is not huge you are a completely different size shape and a much smaller person Remember this is why I say DONrsquoT WEIGH yourself Instead focus on how you feel and how your clothes fit This will also prevent mental games and sabotage both dur-ing and after your cleanse You will naturally lose weight but that should not be the focus or the goal of the cleanse Focus on HEALTH and the rest will come

Heart Health

Both antioxidant vitamins C and E prevent the damaging effect of free radicals on artery walls They prevent blood from sticking clotting or becoming toxic as well as helping to lower tri-glycerides levels Great levels of vitamin C can be found in most fruits and vegetables Good levels of vitamin E can be attained by adding blackberries kiwi asparagus and spinach in your juice recipes

Liver Detoxification

One of the primary functions of the liver is to serve as the bodyrsquos detoxifier It is involved with detoxifying harmful substances (like environmental toxins chemicals food additives preservatives drugs etc) before they can enter the bloodstream and harm the body Peri-odic cleansing of the liver through juicing can be important in maintaining good health Fresh juices reduce the burden on the liver and give it a chance to catch up Juicing allows the liver to rid itself of accumulated toxins thus permitting it to operate more efficiently

With all of those benefits how could you NOT do a juice feast I know what yoursquore thinking ldquoI could NEVER do thatldquo Let me tell you Irsquove had many clients and friends that went from fast food loving pizza eating beer guzzling junk food lovers to drinking 4 quarts of fresh squeezed juices per day and loving it If they can do it YOU CAN DO IT Seriously take my word on this

If you need more inspiration I highly recommend that you watch the documentary Fat Sick and Nearly Dead streaming live on Netflix It will be all the inspiration you need

ldquoWhen you consistently drink fresh raw juice especially vegetable juice that includes plenty of dark leafy greens along with eating lots of vegetables and fruit and a very healthy diet your whole internal environment changes Juice which is rich in antioxidants cleanses the body of stored wastes and toxins that interfere with the proper functioning of cells and organs This garden-in-a-glass offers an abundance of vitamins minerals enzymes phytonutrients and antioxidants ndash a cornucopia of nutrients that increase the mirco-electric potential of the cells This improves the bodyrsquos use of oxygen so the muscles and both the muscles and brain are energized

Will I Be Hungry

The first 1-3 days can be the most difficult in terms of hunger ldquothat hunger may feel some-what uncomfortable and unfamiliar This is of course simply the body adjusting to a different volume of matter being introduced to the stomach The amount of calories you are getting is still the same - itrsquos just in different form- a form that allows for a flood of nutrient rich liquid to pass through your system dailyrdquo(3) That being said some people never experience hunger and feel incredibly satisfied during the Feast Irsquove had varying experiences Some of my Juice Feasts have been very smooth and effortless and others have been more challenging at first Irsquove found that this usually had more to do with my emotional state then a state of true physi-cal hunger

Juice Feasting is a wonderful time to get in touch with your body and itrsquos physical symptoms Most people find that they are not actually physically hungry but emotionally hungry We use food in so many ways to numb out to deal with stress when wersquore bored to celebrate to connect with others etc Very few of us stop to check-in with our bodies before we eat to make sure we are physically hungry This is actually a wonderful and important practice as most of us are emotional eaters Unconsciously we tend to use food as drug and Juice Feasting is going to bring that all to light When wersquore stressed or sad we grab a snack and get instant gratification When solid food is taken out of the equation we no longer have that ldquodrugrdquo or distraction and that can sometimes be quite uncomfortable As we go through the process of Feasting we learn and understand our bodies true physical cries for hunger versus the instances where we use food as a numbing agent or a distraction

So will you be physically hungry during the feast No but you may experience some emotion-al hunger and for that I recommend a walk outside a phone call to a supportive friend a long hot bubble bath journaling and sometimes just a good old nap will do the trick

Most people actually find that once they get into the Juice Feast it is much easier than they thought Remember this is a Feast Itrsquos about abundance with loads of delicious recipes to try

11

Daily Recommendations

1 gallon of freshly extracted juice per person per day is recommended however you may have some days where you require more or less than that Just make sure your body is satisfied there is no limit to how much juice you can consume There is no reason to deprive yourself or to force yourself to consume more juice if your body is not asking for it ldquoIt is defi-nitely important to keep your calorie intake up - it is not recommended to let your intake dip low as your metabolism will slow and your body will likely move into lsquostarvation modersquo espe-cially holding onto and fat it can find This can all create problems with future weight mainte-nancerdquo(3)

This is a time to really develop a connection with your body and listen to its signals It will tell you want it wants so use the gallon per day as a guideline not a rule

Try to buy organic if possible If you are using non-organic fruits and veggies you may want to peel them before juicing (ie cucumber)

Colon Cleansing

I strongly encourage regular colon cleansing during your Feast This will help you gain the greatest benefit from your cleanse and also help tremendously in preventing unpleasant detox symptoms like fatigue cravings and moods swings My favorite product is Mag07 (see lsquoRe-sourcesrsquo section at the end of this e-book for info on the brand and where to order) Yoursquoll take it daily during the juice feast according to the instructions on the bottle Itrsquos also great to use anytime you want to cleanse not just during a juice feast

If you can I also strongly encourage getting gravity fed colonics They will take your Juice Feasting experience to the next level in terms of health weight loss energy skin and more Just Google ldquocolon hydrotherapyrdquo to see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area

12

Breaking the Feast

In many ways breaking your juice feast is just as important as the actual cleanse As a gen-eral rule you want to take half of the total days of your cleanse to ease back into solids For example if you feast for 10days take 5 days to ease back into solids The key word being ease Breaking the feast will look something like this

Day 1 amp 2 Juice for breakfast a smoothie and some fruit for lunch juice as a snack and blended veggie soup for dinner (see my blog for raw blended soup recipes)

Day 3 amp 4 Juice for breakfast fruit as a snack blended soup and small veggie salad for lunch juice as a snack and a vegetarian meal for dinner

Day 5 Juice for breakfast vegetarian meal for lunch juice or smoothie as a snack mostly vegetable meal with a small amount of light protein (ie eggs fish small piece of organic chicken)

Day 6 and beyond resume your normal healthy diet Remember to continue to incorporate lots of living fruits vegetables and a daily juice in order to maintain the benefits of your feast

Tips

raquo Buy in bulk Yoursquoll need way more produce than you think you do

raquo Make your juices ahead of time Although fresh is always best I typically make all of my juices for the day in the morning Itrsquos just easier that way With a busy work day I donrsquot have the time to stop and make each juice fresh I store my juices in quart size mason jars with the lid securely fastened You can also freeze your juices ahead of time if needed Just take them out the night before to thaw or take them with you in the morning and they should be thawed by the afternoon

raquo Carry a toothbrush Your tongue may develop a slight coating due to the detox This can be remedied by tongue scraping (look for a tongue scraper at your local drugstore) or brushing your teeth and tongue with a toothbrush

raquo Look up local juice barshealth food stores that serve fresh squeezed juices This isnrsquot an option for everyone but can be a lifesaver if yoursquore out of produce on the go or just donrsquot feel like making your own juices

raquo Get your greens on Fruit juices can cause bloating or energy crashes for some people If you are experiencing bloating make sure you temper your juices by adding a good amount of greens and reducing the amount of fruit in the recipe If you need to sweeten use stevia instead

raquo Have fun experimenting with different combos Remember there are no rules so have fun trying different recipes and making up your own

raquo Have a support system Look online or to a close friend or family member for support Having someone there to listen and cheer you on can make a world of difference Irsquom al-ways here too so Facebook or tweet me and let me know how things are going

raquo Take time out for self-care Massages hot candle lit bubble baths long walks fresh air journaling meditation naps facials or renting a funny movie are all great ways to pamper and nurture yourself during the cleanse

FAQ

Why juice the vegetables instead of eating them

Imagine chopping all of your juicing ingredients into a bowl and eating them with a fork It would take a tremendous amount of time not to mention a lot of chewing By juicing them we can ingest the essential living nutrients chlorophyll minerals and enzymes in a matter of minutes without expending any digestive energy In addition to getting innumerable amounts of enzymes from drinking vegetable juices there also are enzymes trapped deep inside the fibers of fresh vegetables that we canrsquot absorb through normal digestion but can be released by a juicer (1)

Is a juicer different from a blender

Yes A juicer separates the juice from the fiber of the fruit and vegies leaving you with only the mineral and nutrient packed water If you put your juicing ingredients into a blender it will simply puree the items together making a blended soup or smoothie When the juice is sepa-rated from the fiber with a juicer we can ingest much more nutrition because the fiber does not get in the way and fill us up The organic water that is extracted from the fruits and veg-etables contains all of the vitamins minerals and enzymes from the plant With the absence of roughage from fiber the enzymes can be absorbed directly into the cells and get to work cleansing the body of waste This means a slimmer more vibrant healthier you (1)

What if I get cravings

If you are getting cravings the first thing you want to do is drink more juice Sometimes thatrsquos all the body needs Another key to controlling cravings is making sure that you are colon cleansing either with the Mag07 supplement that I recommend or through gravity fed colon-ics If you are having emotional cravings you may want to move your body by taking a walk doing yoga light stretching rebounding or even cleaning A lot of people go into cleaning

mode while on a juice feast Itrsquos an interesting phenomenon I guess on an unconscious level when our bodies are cleaning house internally we desire our external environment to be clean as well Sometimes fresh air and sunshine will do the trick Journaling or meditation can also be helpful and there is nothing better than a nice long bath with relaxing music and candles Remember juice feasting is all about taking care of YOU so take the time to pamper yourself when needed

Can I exercise

Yes you can exercise but you want to check in with your body first Some people work out daily during their juice feasts and others find that their body just wants to rest There is no right or wrong answer here Just listen to your body and honor it either way

Will I be tired

Same as above Some people feel very energized during their juice feasts and others feel quite tired or lazy You may even find that you fluctuate between the two

What if I donrsquot feel well

If you donrsquot feel well there are a few things you can do Getting a good gravity-fed colonic is always the best option It will help with the detoxification process and clear out the old toxic waste that is trying to leave the body and thus causing symptoms Just Google ldquocolon hydro-therapyrdquo and see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area I also love Epsom salt baths They are wonderfully soothing and help with detoxification Sometimes a good nap is in order Remember your body is going through a major cleansing Sleep will help restore and rejuvenate the body

Should I Weigh Myself

I do not recommend weighing yourself before during or after the cleanse Remember that the main goal of juicing feasting is HEALTH Weight loss is a common and appreciated side effect but itrsquos not the main goal A healthy body naturally achieves a normal weight A true cleanse is more about our bodyrsquos reshaping and cleansing of waste which will result more in lost inches than total pounds lost With this lifestyle you may drop 2 jean sizes but only lose 5 lbs Even though the weight loss is not huge you are a completely different size shape and a much smaller person Remember this is why I say DONrsquoT WEIGH yourself Instead focus on how you feel and how your clothes fit This will also prevent mental games and sabotage both dur-ing and after your cleanse You will naturally lose weight but that should not be the focus or the goal of the cleanse Focus on HEALTH and the rest will come

What Results Can I Expect

raquo Improved vision

raquo Reduction of inflammation

ldquoWhen you consistently drink fresh raw juice especially vegetable juice that includes plenty of dark leafy greens along with eating lots of vegetables and fruit and a very healthy diet your whole internal environment changes Juice which is rich in antioxidants cleanses the body of stored wastes and toxins that interfere with the proper functioning of cells and organs This garden-in-a-glass offers an abundance of vitamins minerals enzymes phytonutrients and antioxidants ndash a cornucopia of nutrients that increase the mirco-electric potential of the cells This improves the bodyrsquos use of oxygen so the muscles and both the muscles and brain are energized

A recent study which evaluated surveys of 500 people on a living foods diet showed amazing health benefits from choosing raw foods (Freshly made juice is the supreme raw food) The study showed that more than 80 percent of the people surveyed lost weight But that was only

9

the beginning of their transformation These people reported marked improvements in immu-nity digestion allergies womenrsquos issues and chronic illness They enjoyed better sleep and the need for less of it

They also described improvement in many skin conditions such as eczema skin eruptions dryness oiliness and susceptibility to sunburns Their hair grew thicker stronger and more lustrous with decreased thinness weakness oiliness dryness dullness and dandruff Nail strength improved Body odor decreased sharply while eyesight and sense of smell improved There was a marked increase in energy and a significant decrease in addictions and use of medications Results also showed a substantial decrease in allergies And the vast majority of respondents (875 percent) reported better mental emotional and spiritual healthrdquo (5)

Will I Be Hungry

The first 1-3 days can be the most difficult in terms of hunger ldquothat hunger may feel some-what uncomfortable and unfamiliar This is of course simply the body adjusting to a different volume of matter being introduced to the stomach The amount of calories you are getting is still the same - itrsquos just in different form- a form that allows for a flood of nutrient rich liquid to pass through your system dailyrdquo(3) That being said some people never experience hunger and feel incredibly satisfied during the Feast Irsquove had varying experiences Some of my Juice Feasts have been very smooth and effortless and others have been more challenging at first Irsquove found that this usually had more to do with my emotional state then a state of true physi-cal hunger

Juice Feasting is a wonderful time to get in touch with your body and itrsquos physical symptoms Most people find that they are not actually physically hungry but emotionally hungry We use food in so many ways to numb out to deal with stress when wersquore bored to celebrate to connect with others etc Very few of us stop to check-in with our bodies before we eat to make sure we are physically hungry This is actually a wonderful and important practice as most of us are emotional eaters Unconsciously we tend to use food as drug and Juice Feasting is going to bring that all to light When wersquore stressed or sad we grab a snack and get instant gratification When solid food is taken out of the equation we no longer have that ldquodrugrdquo or distraction and that can sometimes be quite uncomfortable As we go through the process of Feasting we learn and understand our bodies true physical cries for hunger versus the instances where we use food as a numbing agent or a distraction

So will you be physically hungry during the feast No but you may experience some emotion-al hunger and for that I recommend a walk outside a phone call to a supportive friend a long hot bubble bath journaling and sometimes just a good old nap will do the trick

Most people actually find that once they get into the Juice Feast it is much easier than they thought Remember this is a Feast Itrsquos about abundance with loads of delicious recipes to try

Daily Recommendations

1 gallon of freshly extracted juice per person per day is recommended however you may have some days where you require more or less than that Just make sure your body is satisfied there is no limit to how much juice you can consume There is no reason to deprive yourself or to force yourself to consume more juice if your body is not asking for it ldquoIt is defi-nitely important to keep your calorie intake up - it is not recommended to let your intake dip low as your metabolism will slow and your body will likely move into lsquostarvation modersquo espe-cially holding onto and fat it can find This can all create problems with future weight mainte-nancerdquo(3)

This is a time to really develop a connection with your body and listen to its signals It will tell you want it wants so use the gallon per day as a guideline not a rule

Try to buy organic if possible If you are using non-organic fruits and veggies you may want to peel them before juicing (ie cucumber)

Colon Cleansing

I strongly encourage regular colon cleansing during your Feast This will help you gain the greatest benefit from your cleanse and also help tremendously in preventing unpleasant detox symptoms like fatigue cravings and moods swings My favorite product is Mag07 (see lsquoRe-sourcesrsquo section at the end of this e-book for info on the brand and where to order) Yoursquoll take it daily during the juice feast according to the instructions on the bottle Itrsquos also great to use anytime you want to cleanse not just during a juice feast

If you can I also strongly encourage getting gravity fed colonics They will take your Juice Feasting experience to the next level in terms of health weight loss energy skin and more Just Google ldquocolon hydrotherapyrdquo to see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area

12

Breaking the Feast

In many ways breaking your juice feast is just as important as the actual cleanse As a gen-eral rule you want to take half of the total days of your cleanse to ease back into solids For example if you feast for 10days take 5 days to ease back into solids The key word being ease Breaking the feast will look something like this

Day 1 amp 2 Juice for breakfast a smoothie and some fruit for lunch juice as a snack and blended veggie soup for dinner (see my blog for raw blended soup recipes)

Day 3 amp 4 Juice for breakfast fruit as a snack blended soup and small veggie salad for lunch juice as a snack and a vegetarian meal for dinner

Day 5 Juice for breakfast vegetarian meal for lunch juice or smoothie as a snack mostly vegetable meal with a small amount of light protein (ie eggs fish small piece of organic chicken)

Day 6 and beyond resume your normal healthy diet Remember to continue to incorporate lots of living fruits vegetables and a daily juice in order to maintain the benefits of your feast

the beginning of their transformation These people reported marked improvements in immu-nity digestion allergies womenrsquos issues and chronic illness They enjoyed better sleep and the need for less of it

Will I Be Hungry

The first 1-3 days can be the most difficult in terms of hunger ldquothat hunger may feel some-what uncomfortable and unfamiliar This is of course simply the body adjusting to a different volume of matter being introduced to the stomach The amount of calories you are getting is still the same - itrsquos just in different form- a form that allows for a flood of nutrient rich liquid to pass through your system dailyrdquo(3) That being said some people never experience hunger and feel incredibly satisfied during the Feast Irsquove had varying experiences Some of my Juice Feasts have been very smooth and effortless and others have been more challenging at first Irsquove found that this usually had more to do with my emotional state then a state of true physi-cal hunger

Juice Feasting is a wonderful time to get in touch with your body and itrsquos physical symptoms Most people find that they are not actually physically hungry but emotionally hungry We use food in so many ways to numb out to deal with stress when wersquore bored to celebrate to connect with others etc Very few of us stop to check-in with our bodies before we eat to make sure we are physically hungry This is actually a wonderful and important practice as most of us are emotional eaters Unconsciously we tend to use food as drug and Juice Feasting is going to bring that all to light When wersquore stressed or sad we grab a snack and get instant gratification When solid food is taken out of the equation we no longer have that ldquodrugrdquo or distraction and that can sometimes be quite uncomfortable As we go through the process of Feasting we learn and understand our bodies true physical cries for hunger versus the instances where we use food as a numbing agent or a distraction

So will you be physically hungry during the feast No but you may experience some emotion-al hunger and for that I recommend a walk outside a phone call to a supportive friend a long hot bubble bath journaling and sometimes just a good old nap will do the trick

Most people actually find that once they get into the Juice Feast it is much easier than they thought Remember this is a Feast Itrsquos about abundance with loads of delicious recipes to try

Daily Recommendations

1 gallon of freshly extracted juice per person per day is recommended however you may have some days where you require more or less than that Just make sure your body is satisfied there is no limit to how much juice you can consume There is no reason to deprive yourself or to force yourself to consume more juice if your body is not asking for it ldquoIt is defi-nitely important to keep your calorie intake up - it is not recommended to let your intake dip low as your metabolism will slow and your body will likely move into lsquostarvation modersquo espe-cially holding onto and fat it can find This can all create problems with future weight mainte-nancerdquo(3)

This is a time to really develop a connection with your body and listen to its signals It will tell you want it wants so use the gallon per day as a guideline not a rule

Try to buy organic if possible If you are using non-organic fruits and veggies you may want to peel them before juicing (ie cucumber)

Colon Cleansing

I strongly encourage regular colon cleansing during your Feast This will help you gain the greatest benefit from your cleanse and also help tremendously in preventing unpleasant detox symptoms like fatigue cravings and moods swings My favorite product is Mag07 (see lsquoRe-sourcesrsquo section at the end of this e-book for info on the brand and where to order) Yoursquoll take it daily during the juice feast according to the instructions on the bottle Itrsquos also great to use anytime you want to cleanse not just during a juice feast

If you can I also strongly encourage getting gravity fed colonics They will take your Juice Feasting experience to the next level in terms of health weight loss energy skin and more Just Google ldquocolon hydrotherapyrdquo to see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area

12

Breaking the Feast

In many ways breaking your juice feast is just as important as the actual cleanse As a gen-eral rule you want to take half of the total days of your cleanse to ease back into solids For example if you feast for 10days take 5 days to ease back into solids The key word being ease Breaking the feast will look something like this

Day 1 amp 2 Juice for breakfast a smoothie and some fruit for lunch juice as a snack and blended veggie soup for dinner (see my blog for raw blended soup recipes)

Day 3 amp 4 Juice for breakfast fruit as a snack blended soup and small veggie salad for lunch juice as a snack and a vegetarian meal for dinner

Day 5 Juice for breakfast vegetarian meal for lunch juice or smoothie as a snack mostly vegetable meal with a small amount of light protein (ie eggs fish small piece of organic chicken)

Day 6 and beyond resume your normal healthy diet Remember to continue to incorporate lots of living fruits vegetables and a daily juice in order to maintain the benefits of your feast

Tips

raquo Buy in bulk Yoursquoll need way more produce than you think you do

raquo Make your juices ahead of time Although fresh is always best I typically make all of my juices for the day in the morning Itrsquos just easier that way With a busy work day I donrsquot have the time to stop and make each juice fresh I store my juices in quart size mason jars with the lid securely fastened You can also freeze your juices ahead of time if needed Just take them out the night before to thaw or take them with you in the morning and they should be thawed by the afternoon

raquo Carry a toothbrush Your tongue may develop a slight coating due to the detox This can be remedied by tongue scraping (look for a tongue scraper at your local drugstore) or brushing your teeth and tongue with a toothbrush

raquo Look up local juice barshealth food stores that serve fresh squeezed juices This isnrsquot an option for everyone but can be a lifesaver if yoursquore out of produce on the go or just donrsquot feel like making your own juices

raquo Get your greens on Fruit juices can cause bloating or energy crashes for some people If you are experiencing bloating make sure you temper your juices by adding a good amount of greens and reducing the amount of fruit in the recipe If you need to sweeten use stevia instead

raquo Have fun experimenting with different combos Remember there are no rules so have fun trying different recipes and making up your own

raquo Have a support system Look online or to a close friend or family member for support Having someone there to listen and cheer you on can make a world of difference Irsquom al-ways here too so Facebook or tweet me and let me know how things are going

raquo Take time out for self-care Massages hot candle lit bubble baths long walks fresh air journaling meditation naps facials or renting a funny movie are all great ways to pamper and nurture yourself during the cleanse

FAQ

Why juice the vegetables instead of eating them

Imagine chopping all of your juicing ingredients into a bowl and eating them with a fork It would take a tremendous amount of time not to mention a lot of chewing By juicing them we can ingest the essential living nutrients chlorophyll minerals and enzymes in a matter of minutes without expending any digestive energy In addition to getting innumerable amounts of enzymes from drinking vegetable juices there also are enzymes trapped deep inside the fibers of fresh vegetables that we canrsquot absorb through normal digestion but can be released by a juicer (1)

Is a juicer different from a blender

Yes A juicer separates the juice from the fiber of the fruit and vegies leaving you with only the mineral and nutrient packed water If you put your juicing ingredients into a blender it will simply puree the items together making a blended soup or smoothie When the juice is sepa-rated from the fiber with a juicer we can ingest much more nutrition because the fiber does not get in the way and fill us up The organic water that is extracted from the fruits and veg-etables contains all of the vitamins minerals and enzymes from the plant With the absence of roughage from fiber the enzymes can be absorbed directly into the cells and get to work cleansing the body of waste This means a slimmer more vibrant healthier you (1)

What if I get cravings

If you are getting cravings the first thing you want to do is drink more juice Sometimes thatrsquos all the body needs Another key to controlling cravings is making sure that you are colon cleansing either with the Mag07 supplement that I recommend or through gravity fed colon-ics If you are having emotional cravings you may want to move your body by taking a walk doing yoga light stretching rebounding or even cleaning A lot of people go into cleaning

mode while on a juice feast Itrsquos an interesting phenomenon I guess on an unconscious level when our bodies are cleaning house internally we desire our external environment to be clean as well Sometimes fresh air and sunshine will do the trick Journaling or meditation can also be helpful and there is nothing better than a nice long bath with relaxing music and candles Remember juice feasting is all about taking care of YOU so take the time to pamper yourself when needed

Can I exercise

Yes you can exercise but you want to check in with your body first Some people work out daily during their juice feasts and others find that their body just wants to rest There is no right or wrong answer here Just listen to your body and honor it either way

Will I be tired

Same as above Some people feel very energized during their juice feasts and others feel quite tired or lazy You may even find that you fluctuate between the two

What if I donrsquot feel well

If you donrsquot feel well there are a few things you can do Getting a good gravity-fed colonic is always the best option It will help with the detoxification process and clear out the old toxic waste that is trying to leave the body and thus causing symptoms Just Google ldquocolon hydro-therapyrdquo and see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area I also love Epsom salt baths They are wonderfully soothing and help with detoxification Sometimes a good nap is in order Remember your body is going through a major cleansing Sleep will help restore and rejuvenate the body

Should I Weigh Myself

I do not recommend weighing yourself before during or after the cleanse Remember that the main goal of juicing feasting is HEALTH Weight loss is a common and appreciated side effect but itrsquos not the main goal A healthy body naturally achieves a normal weight A true cleanse is more about our bodyrsquos reshaping and cleansing of waste which will result more in lost inches than total pounds lost With this lifestyle you may drop 2 jean sizes but only lose 5 lbs Even though the weight loss is not huge you are a completely different size shape and a much smaller person Remember this is why I say DONrsquoT WEIGH yourself Instead focus on how you feel and how your clothes fit This will also prevent mental games and sabotage both dur-ing and after your cleanse You will naturally lose weight but that should not be the focus or the goal of the cleanse Focus on HEALTH and the rest will come

Tips

raquo Buy in bulk Yoursquoll need way more produce than you think you do

raquo Make your juices ahead of time Although fresh is always best I typically make all of my juices for the day in the morning Itrsquos just easier that way With a busy work day I donrsquot have the time to stop and make each juice fresh I store my juices in quart size mason jars with the lid securely fastened You can also freeze your juices ahead of time if needed Just take them out the night before to thaw or take them with you in the morning and they should be thawed by the afternoon

raquo Carry a toothbrush Your tongue may develop a slight coating due to the detox This can be remedied by tongue scraping (look for a tongue scraper at your local drugstore) or brushing your teeth and tongue with a toothbrush

raquo Look up local juice barshealth food stores that serve fresh squeezed juices This isnrsquot an option for everyone but can be a lifesaver if yoursquore out of produce on the go or just donrsquot feel like making your own juices

raquo Get your greens on Fruit juices can cause bloating or energy crashes for some people If you are experiencing bloating make sure you temper your juices by adding a good amount of greens and reducing the amount of fruit in the recipe If you need to sweeten use stevia instead

raquo Have fun experimenting with different combos Remember there are no rules so have fun trying different recipes and making up your own

raquo Have a support system Look online or to a close friend or family member for support Having someone there to listen and cheer you on can make a world of difference Irsquom al-ways here too so Facebook or tweet me and let me know how things are going

raquo Take time out for self-care Massages hot candle lit bubble baths long walks fresh air journaling meditation naps facials or renting a funny movie are all great ways to pamper and nurture yourself during the cleanse

FAQ

Why juice the vegetables instead of eating them

Imagine chopping all of your juicing ingredients into a bowl and eating them with a fork It would take a tremendous amount of time not to mention a lot of chewing By juicing them we can ingest the essential living nutrients chlorophyll minerals and enzymes in a matter of minutes without expending any digestive energy In addition to getting innumerable amounts of enzymes from drinking vegetable juices there also are enzymes trapped deep inside the fibers of fresh vegetables that we canrsquot absorb through normal digestion but can be released by a juicer (1)

Is a juicer different from a blender

Yes A juicer separates the juice from the fiber of the fruit and vegies leaving you with only the mineral and nutrient packed water If you put your juicing ingredients into a blender it will simply puree the items together making a blended soup or smoothie When the juice is sepa-rated from the fiber with a juicer we can ingest much more nutrition because the fiber does not get in the way and fill us up The organic water that is extracted from the fruits and veg-etables contains all of the vitamins minerals and enzymes from the plant With the absence of roughage from fiber the enzymes can be absorbed directly into the cells and get to work cleansing the body of waste This means a slimmer more vibrant healthier you (1)

What if I get cravings

If you are getting cravings the first thing you want to do is drink more juice Sometimes thatrsquos all the body needs Another key to controlling cravings is making sure that you are colon cleansing either with the Mag07 supplement that I recommend or through gravity fed colon-ics If you are having emotional cravings you may want to move your body by taking a walk doing yoga light stretching rebounding or even cleaning A lot of people go into cleaning

mode while on a juice feast Itrsquos an interesting phenomenon I guess on an unconscious level when our bodies are cleaning house internally we desire our external environment to be clean as well Sometimes fresh air and sunshine will do the trick Journaling or meditation can also be helpful and there is nothing better than a nice long bath with relaxing music and candles Remember juice feasting is all about taking care of YOU so take the time to pamper yourself when needed

Can I exercise

Yes you can exercise but you want to check in with your body first Some people work out daily during their juice feasts and others find that their body just wants to rest There is no right or wrong answer here Just listen to your body and honor it either way

Will I be tired

Same as above Some people feel very energized during their juice feasts and others feel quite tired or lazy You may even find that you fluctuate between the two

What if I donrsquot feel well

If you donrsquot feel well there are a few things you can do Getting a good gravity-fed colonic is always the best option It will help with the detoxification process and clear out the old toxic waste that is trying to leave the body and thus causing symptoms Just Google ldquocolon hydro-therapyrdquo and see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area I also love Epsom salt baths They are wonderfully soothing and help with detoxification Sometimes a good nap is in order Remember your body is going through a major cleansing Sleep will help restore and rejuvenate the body

Should I Weigh Myself

I do not recommend weighing yourself before during or after the cleanse Remember that the main goal of juicing feasting is HEALTH Weight loss is a common and appreciated side effect but itrsquos not the main goal A healthy body naturally achieves a normal weight A true cleanse is more about our bodyrsquos reshaping and cleansing of waste which will result more in lost inches than total pounds lost With this lifestyle you may drop 2 jean sizes but only lose 5 lbs Even though the weight loss is not huge you are a completely different size shape and a much smaller person Remember this is why I say DONrsquoT WEIGH yourself Instead focus on how you feel and how your clothes fit This will also prevent mental games and sabotage both dur-ing and after your cleanse You will naturally lose weight but that should not be the focus or the goal of the cleanse Focus on HEALTH and the rest will come

Daily Recommendations

1 gallon of freshly extracted juice per person per day is recommended however you may have some days where you require more or less than that Just make sure your body is satisfied there is no limit to how much juice you can consume There is no reason to deprive yourself or to force yourself to consume more juice if your body is not asking for it ldquoIt is defi-nitely important to keep your calorie intake up - it is not recommended to let your intake dip low as your metabolism will slow and your body will likely move into lsquostarvation modersquo espe-cially holding onto and fat it can find This can all create problems with future weight mainte-nancerdquo(3)

This is a time to really develop a connection with your body and listen to its signals It will tell you want it wants so use the gallon per day as a guideline not a rule

Try to buy organic if possible If you are using non-organic fruits and veggies you may want to peel them before juicing (ie cucumber)

Colon Cleansing

I strongly encourage regular colon cleansing during your Feast This will help you gain the greatest benefit from your cleanse and also help tremendously in preventing unpleasant detox symptoms like fatigue cravings and moods swings My favorite product is Mag07 (see lsquoRe-sourcesrsquo section at the end of this e-book for info on the brand and where to order) Yoursquoll take it daily during the juice feast according to the instructions on the bottle Itrsquos also great to use anytime you want to cleanse not just during a juice feast

If you can I also strongly encourage getting gravity fed colonics They will take your Juice Feasting experience to the next level in terms of health weight loss energy skin and more Just Google ldquocolon hydrotherapyrdquo to see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area

12

Breaking the Feast

In many ways breaking your juice feast is just as important as the actual cleanse As a gen-eral rule you want to take half of the total days of your cleanse to ease back into solids For example if you feast for 10days take 5 days to ease back into solids The key word being ease Breaking the feast will look something like this

Day 1 amp 2 Juice for breakfast a smoothie and some fruit for lunch juice as a snack and blended veggie soup for dinner (see my blog for raw blended soup recipes)

Day 3 amp 4 Juice for breakfast fruit as a snack blended soup and small veggie salad for lunch juice as a snack and a vegetarian meal for dinner

Day 5 Juice for breakfast vegetarian meal for lunch juice or smoothie as a snack mostly vegetable meal with a small amount of light protein (ie eggs fish small piece of organic chicken)

Day 6 and beyond resume your normal healthy diet Remember to continue to incorporate lots of living fruits vegetables and a daily juice in order to maintain the benefits of your feast

Tips

raquo Buy in bulk Yoursquoll need way more produce than you think you do

raquo Make your juices ahead of time Although fresh is always best I typically make all of my juices for the day in the morning Itrsquos just easier that way With a busy work day I donrsquot have the time to stop and make each juice fresh I store my juices in quart size mason jars with the lid securely fastened You can also freeze your juices ahead of time if needed Just take them out the night before to thaw or take them with you in the morning and they should be thawed by the afternoon

raquo Carry a toothbrush Your tongue may develop a slight coating due to the detox This can be remedied by tongue scraping (look for a tongue scraper at your local drugstore) or brushing your teeth and tongue with a toothbrush

raquo Look up local juice barshealth food stores that serve fresh squeezed juices This isnrsquot an option for everyone but can be a lifesaver if yoursquore out of produce on the go or just donrsquot feel like making your own juices

raquo Get your greens on Fruit juices can cause bloating or energy crashes for some people If you are experiencing bloating make sure you temper your juices by adding a good amount of greens and reducing the amount of fruit in the recipe If you need to sweeten use stevia instead

raquo Have fun experimenting with different combos Remember there are no rules so have fun trying different recipes and making up your own

raquo Have a support system Look online or to a close friend or family member for support Having someone there to listen and cheer you on can make a world of difference Irsquom al-ways here too so Facebook or tweet me and let me know how things are going

raquo Take time out for self-care Massages hot candle lit bubble baths long walks fresh air journaling meditation naps facials or renting a funny movie are all great ways to pamper and nurture yourself during the cleanse

FAQ

Why juice the vegetables instead of eating them

Imagine chopping all of your juicing ingredients into a bowl and eating them with a fork It would take a tremendous amount of time not to mention a lot of chewing By juicing them we can ingest the essential living nutrients chlorophyll minerals and enzymes in a matter of minutes without expending any digestive energy In addition to getting innumerable amounts of enzymes from drinking vegetable juices there also are enzymes trapped deep inside the fibers of fresh vegetables that we canrsquot absorb through normal digestion but can be released by a juicer (1)

Is a juicer different from a blender

Yes A juicer separates the juice from the fiber of the fruit and vegies leaving you with only the mineral and nutrient packed water If you put your juicing ingredients into a blender it will simply puree the items together making a blended soup or smoothie When the juice is sepa-rated from the fiber with a juicer we can ingest much more nutrition because the fiber does not get in the way and fill us up The organic water that is extracted from the fruits and veg-etables contains all of the vitamins minerals and enzymes from the plant With the absence of roughage from fiber the enzymes can be absorbed directly into the cells and get to work cleansing the body of waste This means a slimmer more vibrant healthier you (1)

What if I get cravings

If you are getting cravings the first thing you want to do is drink more juice Sometimes thatrsquos all the body needs Another key to controlling cravings is making sure that you are colon cleansing either with the Mag07 supplement that I recommend or through gravity fed colon-ics If you are having emotional cravings you may want to move your body by taking a walk doing yoga light stretching rebounding or even cleaning A lot of people go into cleaning

mode while on a juice feast Itrsquos an interesting phenomenon I guess on an unconscious level when our bodies are cleaning house internally we desire our external environment to be clean as well Sometimes fresh air and sunshine will do the trick Journaling or meditation can also be helpful and there is nothing better than a nice long bath with relaxing music and candles Remember juice feasting is all about taking care of YOU so take the time to pamper yourself when needed

Can I exercise

Yes you can exercise but you want to check in with your body first Some people work out daily during their juice feasts and others find that their body just wants to rest There is no right or wrong answer here Just listen to your body and honor it either way

Will I be tired

Same as above Some people feel very energized during their juice feasts and others feel quite tired or lazy You may even find that you fluctuate between the two

What if I donrsquot feel well

If you donrsquot feel well there are a few things you can do Getting a good gravity-fed colonic is always the best option It will help with the detoxification process and clear out the old toxic waste that is trying to leave the body and thus causing symptoms Just Google ldquocolon hydro-therapyrdquo and see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area I also love Epsom salt baths They are wonderfully soothing and help with detoxification Sometimes a good nap is in order Remember your body is going through a major cleansing Sleep will help restore and rejuvenate the body

Should I Weigh Myself

I do not recommend weighing yourself before during or after the cleanse Remember that the main goal of juicing feasting is HEALTH Weight loss is a common and appreciated side effect but itrsquos not the main goal A healthy body naturally achieves a normal weight A true cleanse is more about our bodyrsquos reshaping and cleansing of waste which will result more in lost inches than total pounds lost With this lifestyle you may drop 2 jean sizes but only lose 5 lbs Even though the weight loss is not huge you are a completely different size shape and a much smaller person Remember this is why I say DONrsquoT WEIGH yourself Instead focus on how you feel and how your clothes fit This will also prevent mental games and sabotage both dur-ing and after your cleanse You will naturally lose weight but that should not be the focus or the goal of the cleanse Focus on HEALTH and the rest will come

raquo Look up local juice barshealth food stores that serve fresh squeezed juices This isnrsquot an option for everyone but can be a lifesaver if yoursquore out of produce on the go or just donrsquot feel like making your own juices

raquo Get your greens on Fruit juices can cause bloating or energy crashes for some people If you are experiencing bloating make sure you temper your juices by adding a good amount of greens and reducing the amount of fruit in the recipe If you need to sweeten use stevia instead

raquo Have fun experimenting with different combos Remember there are no rules so have fun trying different recipes and making up your own

raquo Have a support system Look online or to a close friend or family member for support Having someone there to listen and cheer you on can make a world of difference Irsquom al-ways here too so Facebook or tweet me and let me know how things are going

raquo Take time out for self-care Massages hot candle lit bubble baths long walks fresh air journaling meditation naps facials or renting a funny movie are all great ways to pamper and nurture yourself during the cleanse

FAQ

Why juice the vegetables instead of eating them

Imagine chopping all of your juicing ingredients into a bowl and eating them with a fork It would take a tremendous amount of time not to mention a lot of chewing By juicing them we can ingest the essential living nutrients chlorophyll minerals and enzymes in a matter of minutes without expending any digestive energy In addition to getting innumerable amounts of enzymes from drinking vegetable juices there also are enzymes trapped deep inside the fibers of fresh vegetables that we canrsquot absorb through normal digestion but can be released by a juicer (1)

Is a juicer different from a blender

Yes A juicer separates the juice from the fiber of the fruit and vegies leaving you with only the mineral and nutrient packed water If you put your juicing ingredients into a blender it will simply puree the items together making a blended soup or smoothie When the juice is sepa-rated from the fiber with a juicer we can ingest much more nutrition because the fiber does not get in the way and fill us up The organic water that is extracted from the fruits and veg-etables contains all of the vitamins minerals and enzymes from the plant With the absence of roughage from fiber the enzymes can be absorbed directly into the cells and get to work cleansing the body of waste This means a slimmer more vibrant healthier you (1)

What if I get cravings

If you are getting cravings the first thing you want to do is drink more juice Sometimes thatrsquos all the body needs Another key to controlling cravings is making sure that you are colon cleansing either with the Mag07 supplement that I recommend or through gravity fed colon-ics If you are having emotional cravings you may want to move your body by taking a walk doing yoga light stretching rebounding or even cleaning A lot of people go into cleaning

mode while on a juice feast Itrsquos an interesting phenomenon I guess on an unconscious level when our bodies are cleaning house internally we desire our external environment to be clean as well Sometimes fresh air and sunshine will do the trick Journaling or meditation can also be helpful and there is nothing better than a nice long bath with relaxing music and candles Remember juice feasting is all about taking care of YOU so take the time to pamper yourself when needed

Can I exercise

Yes you can exercise but you want to check in with your body first Some people work out daily during their juice feasts and others find that their body just wants to rest There is no right or wrong answer here Just listen to your body and honor it either way

Will I be tired

Same as above Some people feel very energized during their juice feasts and others feel quite tired or lazy You may even find that you fluctuate between the two

What if I donrsquot feel well

If you donrsquot feel well there are a few things you can do Getting a good gravity-fed colonic is always the best option It will help with the detoxification process and clear out the old toxic waste that is trying to leave the body and thus causing symptoms Just Google ldquocolon hydro-therapyrdquo and see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area I also love Epsom salt baths They are wonderfully soothing and help with detoxification Sometimes a good nap is in order Remember your body is going through a major cleansing Sleep will help restore and rejuvenate the body

Should I Weigh Myself

I do not recommend weighing yourself before during or after the cleanse Remember that the main goal of juicing feasting is HEALTH Weight loss is a common and appreciated side effect but itrsquos not the main goal A healthy body naturally achieves a normal weight A true cleanse is more about our bodyrsquos reshaping and cleansing of waste which will result more in lost inches than total pounds lost With this lifestyle you may drop 2 jean sizes but only lose 5 lbs Even though the weight loss is not huge you are a completely different size shape and a much smaller person Remember this is why I say DONrsquoT WEIGH yourself Instead focus on how you feel and how your clothes fit This will also prevent mental games and sabotage both dur-ing and after your cleanse You will naturally lose weight but that should not be the focus or the goal of the cleanse Focus on HEALTH and the rest will come

Tips

raquo Buy in bulk Yoursquoll need way more produce than you think you do

raquo Make your juices ahead of time Although fresh is always best I typically make all of my juices for the day in the morning Itrsquos just easier that way With a busy work day I donrsquot have the time to stop and make each juice fresh I store my juices in quart size mason jars with the lid securely fastened You can also freeze your juices ahead of time if needed Just take them out the night before to thaw or take them with you in the morning and they should be thawed by the afternoon

raquo Carry a toothbrush Your tongue may develop a slight coating due to the detox This can be remedied by tongue scraping (look for a tongue scraper at your local drugstore) or brushing your teeth and tongue with a toothbrush

raquo Look up local juice barshealth food stores that serve fresh squeezed juices This isnrsquot an option for everyone but can be a lifesaver if yoursquore out of produce on the go or just donrsquot feel like making your own juices

raquo Get your greens on Fruit juices can cause bloating or energy crashes for some people If you are experiencing bloating make sure you temper your juices by adding a good amount of greens and reducing the amount of fruit in the recipe If you need to sweeten use stevia instead

raquo Have fun experimenting with different combos Remember there are no rules so have fun trying different recipes and making up your own

raquo Have a support system Look online or to a close friend or family member for support Having someone there to listen and cheer you on can make a world of difference Irsquom al-ways here too so Facebook or tweet me and let me know how things are going

raquo Take time out for self-care Massages hot candle lit bubble baths long walks fresh air journaling meditation naps facials or renting a funny movie are all great ways to pamper and nurture yourself during the cleanse

FAQ

Why juice the vegetables instead of eating them

Imagine chopping all of your juicing ingredients into a bowl and eating them with a fork It would take a tremendous amount of time not to mention a lot of chewing By juicing them we can ingest the essential living nutrients chlorophyll minerals and enzymes in a matter of minutes without expending any digestive energy In addition to getting innumerable amounts of enzymes from drinking vegetable juices there also are enzymes trapped deep inside the fibers of fresh vegetables that we canrsquot absorb through normal digestion but can be released by a juicer (1)

Is a juicer different from a blender

Yes A juicer separates the juice from the fiber of the fruit and vegies leaving you with only the mineral and nutrient packed water If you put your juicing ingredients into a blender it will simply puree the items together making a blended soup or smoothie When the juice is sepa-rated from the fiber with a juicer we can ingest much more nutrition because the fiber does not get in the way and fill us up The organic water that is extracted from the fruits and veg-etables contains all of the vitamins minerals and enzymes from the plant With the absence of roughage from fiber the enzymes can be absorbed directly into the cells and get to work cleansing the body of waste This means a slimmer more vibrant healthier you (1)

What if I get cravings

If you are getting cravings the first thing you want to do is drink more juice Sometimes thatrsquos all the body needs Another key to controlling cravings is making sure that you are colon cleansing either with the Mag07 supplement that I recommend or through gravity fed colon-ics If you are having emotional cravings you may want to move your body by taking a walk doing yoga light stretching rebounding or even cleaning A lot of people go into cleaning

mode while on a juice feast Itrsquos an interesting phenomenon I guess on an unconscious level when our bodies are cleaning house internally we desire our external environment to be clean as well Sometimes fresh air and sunshine will do the trick Journaling or meditation can also be helpful and there is nothing better than a nice long bath with relaxing music and candles Remember juice feasting is all about taking care of YOU so take the time to pamper yourself when needed

Can I exercise

Yes you can exercise but you want to check in with your body first Some people work out daily during their juice feasts and others find that their body just wants to rest There is no right or wrong answer here Just listen to your body and honor it either way

Will I be tired

Same as above Some people feel very energized during their juice feasts and others feel quite tired or lazy You may even find that you fluctuate between the two

What if I donrsquot feel well

If you donrsquot feel well there are a few things you can do Getting a good gravity-fed colonic is always the best option It will help with the detoxification process and clear out the old toxic waste that is trying to leave the body and thus causing symptoms Just Google ldquocolon hydro-therapyrdquo and see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area I also love Epsom salt baths They are wonderfully soothing and help with detoxification Sometimes a good nap is in order Remember your body is going through a major cleansing Sleep will help restore and rejuvenate the body

Should I Weigh Myself

I do not recommend weighing yourself before during or after the cleanse Remember that the main goal of juicing feasting is HEALTH Weight loss is a common and appreciated side effect but itrsquos not the main goal A healthy body naturally achieves a normal weight A true cleanse is more about our bodyrsquos reshaping and cleansing of waste which will result more in lost inches than total pounds lost With this lifestyle you may drop 2 jean sizes but only lose 5 lbs Even though the weight loss is not huge you are a completely different size shape and a much smaller person Remember this is why I say DONrsquoT WEIGH yourself Instead focus on how you feel and how your clothes fit This will also prevent mental games and sabotage both dur-ing and after your cleanse You will naturally lose weight but that should not be the focus or the goal of the cleanse Focus on HEALTH and the rest will come

Tips

raquo Buy in bulk Yoursquoll need way more produce than you think you do

raquo Make your juices ahead of time Although fresh is always best I typically make all of my juices for the day in the morning Itrsquos just easier that way With a busy work day I donrsquot have the time to stop and make each juice fresh I store my juices in quart size mason jars with the lid securely fastened You can also freeze your juices ahead of time if needed Just take them out the night before to thaw or take them with you in the morning and they should be thawed by the afternoon

raquo Carry a toothbrush Your tongue may develop a slight coating due to the detox This can be remedied by tongue scraping (look for a tongue scraper at your local drugstore) or brushing your teeth and tongue with a toothbrush

raquo Look up local juice barshealth food stores that serve fresh squeezed juices This isnrsquot an option for everyone but can be a lifesaver if yoursquore out of produce on the go or just donrsquot feel like making your own juices

raquo Get your greens on Fruit juices can cause bloating or energy crashes for some people If you are experiencing bloating make sure you temper your juices by adding a good amount of greens and reducing the amount of fruit in the recipe If you need to sweeten use stevia instead

raquo Have fun experimenting with different combos Remember there are no rules so have fun trying different recipes and making up your own

raquo Have a support system Look online or to a close friend or family member for support Having someone there to listen and cheer you on can make a world of difference Irsquom al-ways here too so Facebook or tweet me and let me know how things are going

raquo Take time out for self-care Massages hot candle lit bubble baths long walks fresh air journaling meditation naps facials or renting a funny movie are all great ways to pamper and nurture yourself during the cleanse

FAQ

Why juice the vegetables instead of eating them

Imagine chopping all of your juicing ingredients into a bowl and eating them with a fork It would take a tremendous amount of time not to mention a lot of chewing By juicing them we can ingest the essential living nutrients chlorophyll minerals and enzymes in a matter of minutes without expending any digestive energy In addition to getting innumerable amounts of enzymes from drinking vegetable juices there also are enzymes trapped deep inside the fibers of fresh vegetables that we canrsquot absorb through normal digestion but can be released by a juicer (1)

Is a juicer different from a blender

Yes A juicer separates the juice from the fiber of the fruit and vegies leaving you with only the mineral and nutrient packed water If you put your juicing ingredients into a blender it will simply puree the items together making a blended soup or smoothie When the juice is sepa-rated from the fiber with a juicer we can ingest much more nutrition because the fiber does not get in the way and fill us up The organic water that is extracted from the fruits and veg-etables contains all of the vitamins minerals and enzymes from the plant With the absence of roughage from fiber the enzymes can be absorbed directly into the cells and get to work cleansing the body of waste This means a slimmer more vibrant healthier you (1)

What if I get cravings

If you are getting cravings the first thing you want to do is drink more juice Sometimes thatrsquos all the body needs Another key to controlling cravings is making sure that you are colon cleansing either with the Mag07 supplement that I recommend or through gravity fed colon-ics If you are having emotional cravings you may want to move your body by taking a walk doing yoga light stretching rebounding or even cleaning A lot of people go into cleaning

mode while on a juice feast Itrsquos an interesting phenomenon I guess on an unconscious level when our bodies are cleaning house internally we desire our external environment to be clean as well Sometimes fresh air and sunshine will do the trick Journaling or meditation can also be helpful and there is nothing better than a nice long bath with relaxing music and candles Remember juice feasting is all about taking care of YOU so take the time to pamper yourself when needed

Can I exercise

Yes you can exercise but you want to check in with your body first Some people work out daily during their juice feasts and others find that their body just wants to rest There is no right or wrong answer here Just listen to your body and honor it either way

Will I be tired

Same as above Some people feel very energized during their juice feasts and others feel quite tired or lazy You may even find that you fluctuate between the two

What if I donrsquot feel well

If you donrsquot feel well there are a few things you can do Getting a good gravity-fed colonic is always the best option It will help with the detoxification process and clear out the old toxic waste that is trying to leave the body and thus causing symptoms Just Google ldquocolon hydro-therapyrdquo and see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area I also love Epsom salt baths They are wonderfully soothing and help with detoxification Sometimes a good nap is in order Remember your body is going through a major cleansing Sleep will help restore and rejuvenate the body

Should I Weigh Myself

I do not recommend weighing yourself before during or after the cleanse Remember that the main goal of juicing feasting is HEALTH Weight loss is a common and appreciated side effect but itrsquos not the main goal A healthy body naturally achieves a normal weight A true cleanse is more about our bodyrsquos reshaping and cleansing of waste which will result more in lost inches than total pounds lost With this lifestyle you may drop 2 jean sizes but only lose 5 lbs Even though the weight loss is not huge you are a completely different size shape and a much smaller person Remember this is why I say DONrsquoT WEIGH yourself Instead focus on how you feel and how your clothes fit This will also prevent mental games and sabotage both dur-ing and after your cleanse You will naturally lose weight but that should not be the focus or the goal of the cleanse Focus on HEALTH and the rest will come

FAQ

Why juice the vegetables instead of eating them

Imagine chopping all of your juicing ingredients into a bowl and eating them with a fork It would take a tremendous amount of time not to mention a lot of chewing By juicing them we can ingest the essential living nutrients chlorophyll minerals and enzymes in a matter of minutes without expending any digestive energy In addition to getting innumerable amounts of enzymes from drinking vegetable juices there also are enzymes trapped deep inside the fibers of fresh vegetables that we canrsquot absorb through normal digestion but can be released by a juicer (1)

Is a juicer different from a blender

Yes A juicer separates the juice from the fiber of the fruit and vegies leaving you with only the mineral and nutrient packed water If you put your juicing ingredients into a blender it will simply puree the items together making a blended soup or smoothie When the juice is sepa-rated from the fiber with a juicer we can ingest much more nutrition because the fiber does not get in the way and fill us up The organic water that is extracted from the fruits and veg-etables contains all of the vitamins minerals and enzymes from the plant With the absence of roughage from fiber the enzymes can be absorbed directly into the cells and get to work cleansing the body of waste This means a slimmer more vibrant healthier you (1)

What if I get cravings

If you are getting cravings the first thing you want to do is drink more juice Sometimes thatrsquos all the body needs Another key to controlling cravings is making sure that you are colon cleansing either with the Mag07 supplement that I recommend or through gravity fed colon-ics If you are having emotional cravings you may want to move your body by taking a walk doing yoga light stretching rebounding or even cleaning A lot of people go into cleaning

mode while on a juice feast Itrsquos an interesting phenomenon I guess on an unconscious level when our bodies are cleaning house internally we desire our external environment to be clean as well Sometimes fresh air and sunshine will do the trick Journaling or meditation can also be helpful and there is nothing better than a nice long bath with relaxing music and candles Remember juice feasting is all about taking care of YOU so take the time to pamper yourself when needed

Can I exercise

Yes you can exercise but you want to check in with your body first Some people work out daily during their juice feasts and others find that their body just wants to rest There is no right or wrong answer here Just listen to your body and honor it either way

Will I be tired

Same as above Some people feel very energized during their juice feasts and others feel quite tired or lazy You may even find that you fluctuate between the two

What if I donrsquot feel well

If you donrsquot feel well there are a few things you can do Getting a good gravity-fed colonic is always the best option It will help with the detoxification process and clear out the old toxic waste that is trying to leave the body and thus causing symptoms Just Google ldquocolon hydro-therapyrdquo and see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area I also love Epsom salt baths They are wonderfully soothing and help with detoxification Sometimes a good nap is in order Remember your body is going through a major cleansing Sleep will help restore and rejuvenate the body

Should I Weigh Myself

I do not recommend weighing yourself before during or after the cleanse Remember that the main goal of juicing feasting is HEALTH Weight loss is a common and appreciated side effect but itrsquos not the main goal A healthy body naturally achieves a normal weight A true cleanse is more about our bodyrsquos reshaping and cleansing of waste which will result more in lost inches than total pounds lost With this lifestyle you may drop 2 jean sizes but only lose 5 lbs Even though the weight loss is not huge you are a completely different size shape and a much smaller person Remember this is why I say DONrsquoT WEIGH yourself Instead focus on how you feel and how your clothes fit This will also prevent mental games and sabotage both dur-ing and after your cleanse You will naturally lose weight but that should not be the focus or the goal of the cleanse Focus on HEALTH and the rest will come

Tips

raquo Buy in bulk Yoursquoll need way more produce than you think you do

raquo Make your juices ahead of time Although fresh is always best I typically make all of my juices for the day in the morning Itrsquos just easier that way With a busy work day I donrsquot have the time to stop and make each juice fresh I store my juices in quart size mason jars with the lid securely fastened You can also freeze your juices ahead of time if needed Just take them out the night before to thaw or take them with you in the morning and they should be thawed by the afternoon

raquo Carry a toothbrush Your tongue may develop a slight coating due to the detox This can be remedied by tongue scraping (look for a tongue scraper at your local drugstore) or brushing your teeth and tongue with a toothbrush

raquo Look up local juice barshealth food stores that serve fresh squeezed juices This isnrsquot an option for everyone but can be a lifesaver if yoursquore out of produce on the go or just donrsquot feel like making your own juices

raquo Get your greens on Fruit juices can cause bloating or energy crashes for some people If you are experiencing bloating make sure you temper your juices by adding a good amount of greens and reducing the amount of fruit in the recipe If you need to sweeten use stevia instead

raquo Have fun experimenting with different combos Remember there are no rules so have fun trying different recipes and making up your own

raquo Have a support system Look online or to a close friend or family member for support Having someone there to listen and cheer you on can make a world of difference Irsquom al-ways here too so Facebook or tweet me and let me know how things are going

raquo Take time out for self-care Massages hot candle lit bubble baths long walks fresh air journaling meditation naps facials or renting a funny movie are all great ways to pamper and nurture yourself during the cleanse

FAQ

Why juice the vegetables instead of eating them

Imagine chopping all of your juicing ingredients into a bowl and eating them with a fork It would take a tremendous amount of time not to mention a lot of chewing By juicing them we can ingest the essential living nutrients chlorophyll minerals and enzymes in a matter of minutes without expending any digestive energy In addition to getting innumerable amounts of enzymes from drinking vegetable juices there also are enzymes trapped deep inside the fibers of fresh vegetables that we canrsquot absorb through normal digestion but can be released by a juicer (1)

Is a juicer different from a blender

Yes A juicer separates the juice from the fiber of the fruit and vegies leaving you with only the mineral and nutrient packed water If you put your juicing ingredients into a blender it will simply puree the items together making a blended soup or smoothie When the juice is sepa-rated from the fiber with a juicer we can ingest much more nutrition because the fiber does not get in the way and fill us up The organic water that is extracted from the fruits and veg-etables contains all of the vitamins minerals and enzymes from the plant With the absence of roughage from fiber the enzymes can be absorbed directly into the cells and get to work cleansing the body of waste This means a slimmer more vibrant healthier you (1)

What if I get cravings

If you are getting cravings the first thing you want to do is drink more juice Sometimes thatrsquos all the body needs Another key to controlling cravings is making sure that you are colon cleansing either with the Mag07 supplement that I recommend or through gravity fed colon-ics If you are having emotional cravings you may want to move your body by taking a walk doing yoga light stretching rebounding or even cleaning A lot of people go into cleaning

mode while on a juice feast Itrsquos an interesting phenomenon I guess on an unconscious level when our bodies are cleaning house internally we desire our external environment to be clean as well Sometimes fresh air and sunshine will do the trick Journaling or meditation can also be helpful and there is nothing better than a nice long bath with relaxing music and candles Remember juice feasting is all about taking care of YOU so take the time to pamper yourself when needed

Can I exercise

Yes you can exercise but you want to check in with your body first Some people work out daily during their juice feasts and others find that their body just wants to rest There is no right or wrong answer here Just listen to your body and honor it either way

Will I be tired

Same as above Some people feel very energized during their juice feasts and others feel quite tired or lazy You may even find that you fluctuate between the two

What if I donrsquot feel well

If you donrsquot feel well there are a few things you can do Getting a good gravity-fed colonic is always the best option It will help with the detoxification process and clear out the old toxic waste that is trying to leave the body and thus causing symptoms Just Google ldquocolon hydro-therapyrdquo and see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area I also love Epsom salt baths They are wonderfully soothing and help with detoxification Sometimes a good nap is in order Remember your body is going through a major cleansing Sleep will help restore and rejuvenate the body

Should I Weigh Myself

I do not recommend weighing yourself before during or after the cleanse Remember that the main goal of juicing feasting is HEALTH Weight loss is a common and appreciated side effect but itrsquos not the main goal A healthy body naturally achieves a normal weight A true cleanse is more about our bodyrsquos reshaping and cleansing of waste which will result more in lost inches than total pounds lost With this lifestyle you may drop 2 jean sizes but only lose 5 lbs Even though the weight loss is not huge you are a completely different size shape and a much smaller person Remember this is why I say DONrsquoT WEIGH yourself Instead focus on how you feel and how your clothes fit This will also prevent mental games and sabotage both dur-ing and after your cleanse You will naturally lose weight but that should not be the focus or the goal of the cleanse Focus on HEALTH and the rest will come

raquo small bunch grapes

raquo 1 cucumber

raquo 1 apple

raquo 1 lemon

raquo 1 bunch rainbow chard

raquo 12 bunch parsley

raquo 4 stalks celery

raquo 1 medium size beet

raquo 12 habanero or jalapeno pepper (optional but I love the heat in this juice)

Run all ingredients through juicer and enjoy

Pineapple Cucumber Mint

Juice

This is one of my All-Time favorite juice recipes It is soooooo good Itrsquos so refreshing you simply MUST try it for yourself

raquo 12 ripe pineapple

raquo 2 cucumbers

raquo 1 bunch of mint

Run all ingredients through juicer (I recommend Breville) and enjoy

29

Mint Julep

This is a very mild tasting juice and a great way to get your greens in Especially for kids or picky eaters they will have no idea they are drinking greens

Yoursquoll need

raquo 3 pears

raquo 1 cucumber

raquo 12 bunch parsley

raquo 1 small bunch of mint

Run all ingredients through your juicer and Enjoy

NOTE If you donrsquot like certain ingredients simply substitute with another fruit of veggie or your choice For instance if you donrsquot like parsley you can substitute spinach kale swiss chard romaine or any other green Thatrsquos the fun thing about juicing there are no rules Just use what yoursquove got and adjust the flavors according to your tastes After some prac-tice you will know exactly what flavors you like together So have fun and experiment with lots of interesting combos

Tips

raquo Buy in bulk Yoursquoll need way more produce than you think you do

raquo Make your juices ahead of time Although fresh is always best I typically make all of my juices for the day in the morning Itrsquos just easier that way With a busy work day I donrsquot have the time to stop and make each juice fresh I store my juices in quart size mason jars with the lid securely fastened You can also freeze your juices ahead of time if needed Just take them out the night before to thaw or take them with you in the morning and they should be thawed by the afternoon

raquo Carry a toothbrush Your tongue may develop a slight coating due to the detox This can be remedied by tongue scraping (look for a tongue scraper at your local drugstore) or brushing your teeth and tongue with a toothbrush

raquo Look up local juice barshealth food stores that serve fresh squeezed juices This isnrsquot an option for everyone but can be a lifesaver if yoursquore out of produce on the go or just donrsquot feel like making your own juices

raquo Get your greens on Fruit juices can cause bloating or energy crashes for some people If you are experiencing bloating make sure you temper your juices by adding a good amount of greens and reducing the amount of fruit in the recipe If you need to sweeten use stevia instead

raquo Have fun experimenting with different combos Remember there are no rules so have fun trying different recipes and making up your own

raquo Have a support system Look online or to a close friend or family member for support Having someone there to listen and cheer you on can make a world of difference Irsquom al-ways here too so Facebook or tweet me and let me know how things are going

raquo Take time out for self-care Massages hot candle lit bubble baths long walks fresh air journaling meditation naps facials or renting a funny movie are all great ways to pamper and nurture yourself during the cleanse

FAQ

Why juice the vegetables instead of eating them

Imagine chopping all of your juicing ingredients into a bowl and eating them with a fork It would take a tremendous amount of time not to mention a lot of chewing By juicing them we can ingest the essential living nutrients chlorophyll minerals and enzymes in a matter of minutes without expending any digestive energy In addition to getting innumerable amounts of enzymes from drinking vegetable juices there also are enzymes trapped deep inside the fibers of fresh vegetables that we canrsquot absorb through normal digestion but can be released by a juicer (1)

Is a juicer different from a blender

Yes A juicer separates the juice from the fiber of the fruit and vegies leaving you with only the mineral and nutrient packed water If you put your juicing ingredients into a blender it will simply puree the items together making a blended soup or smoothie When the juice is sepa-rated from the fiber with a juicer we can ingest much more nutrition because the fiber does not get in the way and fill us up The organic water that is extracted from the fruits and veg-etables contains all of the vitamins minerals and enzymes from the plant With the absence of roughage from fiber the enzymes can be absorbed directly into the cells and get to work cleansing the body of waste This means a slimmer more vibrant healthier you (1)

What if I get cravings

If you are getting cravings the first thing you want to do is drink more juice Sometimes thatrsquos all the body needs Another key to controlling cravings is making sure that you are colon cleansing either with the Mag07 supplement that I recommend or through gravity fed colon-ics If you are having emotional cravings you may want to move your body by taking a walk doing yoga light stretching rebounding or even cleaning A lot of people go into cleaning

mode while on a juice feast Itrsquos an interesting phenomenon I guess on an unconscious level when our bodies are cleaning house internally we desire our external environment to be clean as well Sometimes fresh air and sunshine will do the trick Journaling or meditation can also be helpful and there is nothing better than a nice long bath with relaxing music and candles Remember juice feasting is all about taking care of YOU so take the time to pamper yourself when needed

Can I exercise

Yes you can exercise but you want to check in with your body first Some people work out daily during their juice feasts and others find that their body just wants to rest There is no right or wrong answer here Just listen to your body and honor it either way

Will I be tired

Same as above Some people feel very energized during their juice feasts and others feel quite tired or lazy You may even find that you fluctuate between the two

What if I donrsquot feel well

If you donrsquot feel well there are a few things you can do Getting a good gravity-fed colonic is always the best option It will help with the detoxification process and clear out the old toxic waste that is trying to leave the body and thus causing symptoms Just Google ldquocolon hydro-therapyrdquo and see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area I also love Epsom salt baths They are wonderfully soothing and help with detoxification Sometimes a good nap is in order Remember your body is going through a major cleansing Sleep will help restore and rejuvenate the body

Should I Weigh Myself

I do not recommend weighing yourself before during or after the cleanse Remember that the main goal of juicing feasting is HEALTH Weight loss is a common and appreciated side effect but itrsquos not the main goal A healthy body naturally achieves a normal weight A true cleanse is more about our bodyrsquos reshaping and cleansing of waste which will result more in lost inches than total pounds lost With this lifestyle you may drop 2 jean sizes but only lose 5 lbs Even though the weight loss is not huge you are a completely different size shape and a much smaller person Remember this is why I say DONrsquoT WEIGH yourself Instead focus on how you feel and how your clothes fit This will also prevent mental games and sabotage both dur-ing and after your cleanse You will naturally lose weight but that should not be the focus or the goal of the cleanse Focus on HEALTH and the rest will come

raquo Carry a toothbrush Your tongue may develop a slight coating due to the detox This can be remedied by tongue scraping (look for a tongue scraper at your local drugstore) or brushing your teeth and tongue with a toothbrush

raquo Look up local juice barshealth food stores that serve fresh squeezed juices This isnrsquot an option for everyone but can be a lifesaver if yoursquore out of produce on the go or just donrsquot feel like making your own juices

raquo Get your greens on Fruit juices can cause bloating or energy crashes for some people If you are experiencing bloating make sure you temper your juices by adding a good amount of greens and reducing the amount of fruit in the recipe If you need to sweeten use stevia instead

raquo Have fun experimenting with different combos Remember there are no rules so have fun trying different recipes and making up your own

raquo Have a support system Look online or to a close friend or family member for support Having someone there to listen and cheer you on can make a world of difference Irsquom al-ways here too so Facebook or tweet me and let me know how things are going

raquo Take time out for self-care Massages hot candle lit bubble baths long walks fresh air journaling meditation naps facials or renting a funny movie are all great ways to pamper and nurture yourself during the cleanse

FAQ

Why juice the vegetables instead of eating them

Imagine chopping all of your juicing ingredients into a bowl and eating them with a fork It would take a tremendous amount of time not to mention a lot of chewing By juicing them we can ingest the essential living nutrients chlorophyll minerals and enzymes in a matter of minutes without expending any digestive energy In addition to getting innumerable amounts of enzymes from drinking vegetable juices there also are enzymes trapped deep inside the fibers of fresh vegetables that we canrsquot absorb through normal digestion but can be released by a juicer (1)

Is a juicer different from a blender

Yes A juicer separates the juice from the fiber of the fruit and vegies leaving you with only the mineral and nutrient packed water If you put your juicing ingredients into a blender it will simply puree the items together making a blended soup or smoothie When the juice is sepa-rated from the fiber with a juicer we can ingest much more nutrition because the fiber does not get in the way and fill us up The organic water that is extracted from the fruits and veg-etables contains all of the vitamins minerals and enzymes from the plant With the absence of roughage from fiber the enzymes can be absorbed directly into the cells and get to work cleansing the body of waste This means a slimmer more vibrant healthier you (1)

What if I get cravings

If you are getting cravings the first thing you want to do is drink more juice Sometimes thatrsquos all the body needs Another key to controlling cravings is making sure that you are colon cleansing either with the Mag07 supplement that I recommend or through gravity fed colon-ics If you are having emotional cravings you may want to move your body by taking a walk doing yoga light stretching rebounding or even cleaning A lot of people go into cleaning

mode while on a juice feast Itrsquos an interesting phenomenon I guess on an unconscious level when our bodies are cleaning house internally we desire our external environment to be clean as well Sometimes fresh air and sunshine will do the trick Journaling or meditation can also be helpful and there is nothing better than a nice long bath with relaxing music and candles Remember juice feasting is all about taking care of YOU so take the time to pamper yourself when needed

Can I exercise

Yes you can exercise but you want to check in with your body first Some people work out daily during their juice feasts and others find that their body just wants to rest There is no right or wrong answer here Just listen to your body and honor it either way

Will I be tired

Same as above Some people feel very energized during their juice feasts and others feel quite tired or lazy You may even find that you fluctuate between the two

What if I donrsquot feel well

If you donrsquot feel well there are a few things you can do Getting a good gravity-fed colonic is always the best option It will help with the detoxification process and clear out the old toxic waste that is trying to leave the body and thus causing symptoms Just Google ldquocolon hydro-therapyrdquo and see if there are any licensed practitioners in your area I also love Epsom salt baths They are wonderfully soothing and help with detoxification Sometimes a good nap is in order Remember your body is going through a major cleansing Sleep will help restore and rejuvenate the body

Should I Weigh Myself

I do not recommend weighing yourself before during or after the cleanse Remember that the main goal of juicing feasting is HEALTH Weight loss is a common and appreciated side effect but itrsquos not the main goal A healthy body naturally achieves a normal weight A true cleanse is more about our bodyrsquos reshaping and cleansing of waste which will result more in lost inches than total pounds lost With this lifestyle you may drop 2 jean sizes but only lose 5 lbs Even though the weight loss is not huge you are a completely different size shape and a much smaller person Remember this is why I say DONrsquoT WEIGH yourself Instead focus on how you feel and how your clothes fit This will also prevent mental games and sabotage both dur-ing and after your cleanse You will naturally lose weight but that should not be the focus or the goal of the cleanse Focus on HEALTH and the rest will come
