Vegetable Juice Fast - Day 6 - Total Fast Day 7

Day 7:

Morning: Woke up after sleeping for 11 hours but had to rush to be somewhere so I had no time to jot down the juices I made for the day.
,
Afternoon:
Made these juices throughout the day:

  • 11am - apple cilantro type juice
  • 1pm - gazpacho type juice
  • 3pm - kombucha
  • 5pm - apple orange celery type juice
  • 7pm -  cantaloupe juice
  • 830pm - tea with honey
Evening:  Feeling better but tired after a long day.

Night: Slept well and didn't sleep as long as yesterday.

Overall: This is going well and I am not hungry that much anymore. But I think I will break my fast tomorrow with green smoothies and call it done for this trial just because it was my first time doing it for this long and I want to savor all of the new fruit and vegetables in season now. Also, I am finding myself to be tired of the juices now; I think sticking to water would have been much easier. But I do think juices are great to get in more green vegetables in your diet as well as vital nutrients and water for those who have electrolyte imbalances and blood pressure issues and to use everything in your fridge before traveling somewhere.
