Juice Fast - Day 1

My friend Renee is going on a month long juice fast, she ended up inspiring me to follow her... And so my juice fast started... I am going to be following the guidelines below:

Upon Rising

½ lemon squeezed into a glass of warm water (Lemon juice in water also has a slightly laxative effect and stimulates the digestive juices which is important for detox. Drink immediately after rising in the morning, before having the bentonite clay and flaxseed drink.)

1 tablespoon of bentonite clay and 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed in a glass of water (wait at least 1/2 hour before eating)

Breakfast
• 8-12 oz Green juice juice (dilute with 8-12 oz of distilled water), with 1 tablespoon of spirulina

Mid-Morning Snack
Fruit Juice

Lunch
• 8-12 oz vegetable juice (dilute with 8-12 oz of distilled water), with liquid blue-green algae, spirulina, or chlorella
• Green vibrance smoothie made with fruit and distilled water

Mid-Afternoon Snack
 dandelion root tea
 vegetable/fruit juice

Dinner
 Chlorella smoothie made with fruit
 Work-out days add 2 TBSP of peanut butter
 vegetable juice

Before Bed

 1 tablespoon of bentonite clay and 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed in a glass of water


 Consume as much fruit/vegetable juice, vegetable broth and herbal tea throughout the day
 No juices/broth after 7 pm
 Consume at least 64 ounces of distilled water per day

So far it hasn`t been that bad. I think I can make it this time... Who knows maybe I`ll make it 21 days... But I want to do a minimum of 7. The water with ground flaxseed wasn`t very tasty, but the bentonite clay was not as bad as I thought. The juices have been wonderful and I feel that the Spirulina and Green vibrance are helping a lot... I think they provide me with most of the nutrients I need, which helps me with cravings.
