It seems like every time B watches a documentary, something in our diet changes. This past week he watched Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. So naturally, the next day we are buying a juicer and all of the fruits and veggies that will fit in our fridge. To be fair, the man does his research before jumping in head first.
This is my experience doing the Juice Fast/Clense.
Day 1:
Not bad. Breakfast was good, lunch was okay, and dinner tasted gross. I learned that I DO NOT like beets in my juice. Aside from the terrible taste, it looked like we were drinking blood. Of course that is what I told the children we were having, you have to take the joy where you can in these dark times. I felt a little tired but still managed to get through boot camp.
Day 2:
Ehh.. I won't lie the first part of the day is waaayyyy better than dinner time. I still felt tired but again made it through boot camp. Though, once I came home I curled up in a ball and cried because the making the kids dinner was too much. I wanted a bite sooo bad. The good news was I was already down 2 lbs.
Day 3:
Decided to watch the documentary myself for a little inspiration, it was worth the watch. Hardest day so far. Keeping busy is a must, otherwise, you just sit and think up all the foods you wish you were eating. Again, I broke down at dinner time. It was somewhat eye-opening that I had such an emotional reaction to food. I like the idea of not letting such a meaningless thing rule my life. Stepping on the scale = down 4 lbs.
Day 4:
Today I was a little weak. I keep waiting for this glow and burst of energy but I haven't gotten it. No tears today, so that is a plus. =down 6 lbs
Day 5: Car broke down.. Brandon picked us up and took us to lunch. Yep, threw in the towel. Scale didn't move today, so I had little motivation.
*Update: So I didn't make it the full 7 days. I lost 6 lbs and have continued to lose weight by eating a healthy diet and staying active. I will probably try it again once I've hit a slump.
