So, I was gearing up to do a 3 day veggie juice fast.. i bought all my produce and identified the reasons why I wanted to do this: cooked food cravings recently (i thought it was bc of my time of the month), clarity of the mind, detoxing in general (ahem cellulite) and to improve my digestion which i STILL have trouble with 7 months after being raw. I woke up this morning a juiced a whole bunch of veggies and took it to work in airtight thermoses. I was doing great, but come 4 o clock, i reached for my thermos #2 juice and i couldn't choke it down. I think i definitely need to fast on a weekend when i can juice FRESH all day long. OR maybe i should incorporate some low sugar fruit juices or green smoothies which i really love. I guess I just need some advice for me to complete this. It's REALLY hard to not eat, i can't believe the power food has over all of us. Did this happen to anyone else?

I agree with JB that you should add some fruit to your veggie juice. Pears go well with veggie juice as do apples. I also tend to put in alot of lemons or limes. eg 4 limes to a quart of juice gives a great flavour.
I am mono'ing watermelons as we speak, not on purpose, but because Jersey has them growing rapidly, organic and local. I've been eating about 30 pounds of melon a day and cycling about 4-6 hours a day. I barely drink any water, with the high content. It's amazing.
Great to see others interested in 8/1/1. Seeing this makes my day. Zinfandel rules.
I am interested in any and all ideas to help with my digestion. Being that it's Labor day weekend and I have no food I am going to try and juice fast saturday sunday and monday. I think I might have a hard time digesting too much fat because whenever i travel (which is a lot) and I have limited resources i tend to eat a lot of fruit and simple meals and i don't have a problem. Raw and SAD I had/have a pretty hard time with salads that i buy at my salad place in new york because im limited on ingredients and the ones i use tend to be fatty like olives, olive oil and avocado all in one salad along with some carrots celery and tomato. Anyways I wish I was like some people on this sight who know exactly what bothers them and who pay attention to their body but I'm so bad at it!
iliveyourdream- i am busy learning food combining rules and follow them as closely as possible and try to limit combinations and i really think its helping!!! i need to get better at it though :)
