Just wanted to say hi to everyone, and see how everyone is doing!
Most of you know I have had a few ups and downs on this juice feast. But I'm still hanging in there.
There hasn't been a lot of forum activity so I thought I would start a discussion just to see where everyone is, what day you all are on, and how your journey is transpiring!
Well, I would love to hear from you all!

Hi Alicia, great to hear from you!! ...I'm glad you're hanging in there. I've been having my ups and downs, as you know, but today has been more of an up... the really heavy detox part seems to be kind of not happening right now, I have been feeling great (physically), lots of energy, sleeping well... I have lost lots of body fat, I look really good. I haven't really being weighing or anything like that, but I had to shrink all my work clothes in the wash so I could still wear them. That's always nice. :) Day 39 for me.
Hello Brock! Great to hear from you as well!
Well, it sounds like you are doing great!
You should post some updated photos!
I am looking forward to seeing day 38, and 39 myself!
You and Mark keep paving the way for the rest of us!

I did the first 15 days, came off it in 4 days, then went on a road trip for 20 days on the west coast where I ate lots of fruits + salads + mexican food ( ! ). I resumed the juice feast this Monday. This brings me to day 4 of my second feast! I am very happy to be juicing again. Yeah, it's a challenge, but the good stuff it provides is unmatchable!
I am feeling very fluid and up for going to the end with all the global juice feasters.
Hi everyone - I have just joined and really appreciate that this support network exists - I am on Day 5 of my feast and can't believe how quickly the benefits are happening! I have some questions and wondered if anyone can answer them:
1) Should oil be taken away from juice?
2) Has anyone juiced Nettles? They are starting to grow and are at their most nutritious phase....
3) Is it necessary to take the Cascara Sagrada? I have been suffering with IBS for a few years but always the diarhea kind. So I have never had a problem with constipation but wondered if i therefore would not need the herb?
4) If juicing wheatgrass or barley grass fresh, what is the daily dosage?
Hi Pema and welcome,
You can take the oil by itself. I prefer to take it in my green juice. Either way it is effective. You don't have to take the Cascara Sagrada. You can do more frequent enemas instead. I haven't taken the herb at all. Nettles are a perfect food. I haven't juiced them because the don't grow in the southwest desert. If they did, I would be juicing them everyday. That standard dose for wheatgrass is 1 ounce any more than that can cause nausea. I hope this helps. Happy Day 5.
Hi Alicia,
I am doing well. I am on Day 55 and feeling amazing. I am wishing you well also. I have only been posting every other day. I haven't been on my computer much these days. Lots of busy stuff going on with me lately. I'm sending you lots of blessing on your juice feasting journey. Happy Juicing to you!
