This time I tried fast for 5 days with Juice and salad. I added salad for couple of reasons
1. It will keep my guts working
2. It will keep me fuller
3. It will make it easier mentally since I was eating food
And yes it achieved all of this. Adding salad made juice fast very easy and yet achieved the same results.
My salad consisted of
- greens, cucumber, tomatoes, brocolli, cauliflower, edmame beans, beets, carrots.
Basically I went to salad bar and picked up lil bit all raw vegetables. There was NO DRESSING, NO SALT, NO PEPPER, NO FRUITS, NO LEGUMES, NOTHING BUT raw vegetables.
So I added salad for lunch, dinner. And at 4 pm, I ate 5-6 walnuts.
and coninued my 8 oz of juice every 2 hours. See the previous blogpost for details on juice details.
Change the timing to your schedule and when you feel hungry.
9 am - wakeup
10 am - Breakfast Juice
12 pm (noon) - 1st 8oz juice intake
1 pm - LUNCH SALAD
2 pm - 2nd 8oz juice intake
4 pm - 3rd 8oz juice intake
4:30 PM - WALNUTS
6 pm - 4th 8oz juice intake
8 pm - 5th 8oz juice intake
8:30 PM - DINNER SALAD
10 pm - 6th 8oz juice intake
12 am (midnight) - 7th 8oz juice intake
TIP: This time I prewashed my veggies at night, so in the morning it took me 15 mins to make my whole day's juice. I used empty salad containers to store washed veggies in the fridge night before. This will help ppl who are busy in the morning and don't have time of 1 hr to do the prep/juice.
Bigggest achievment: last day of my juicing was the that "day of the month". And for last 10 years, I have been living on pain killers for 3-4 days everytime during that time of the month. For the first time, this time, I did NOT take a single pain killer. First time in 10+ years!!!! That just shows the amazing power of plant based diet.
