I'm loving it so far and incredibly I havent had one temptation around food. My friends and family have been eating all the cooked food around me that I once loved (burritos - beans I especially love, tacos, chinese food, pizza) and I have not once felt a craving. They have asked me "is this hard for you to be around when we're eating" and I honestly could say "No, it's fine". How nice to say that and believe it. Being raw I still somtimes have a hard time being around those foods that I love but with juicing I dont. I hope that doesnt kick in at some point. Also, I realized yesterday I started getting hungry and I just took a tablespoon of flax and the hunger was gone immediately. I also have been able to exercise normally with no feeling of tiredness al all. How about you.... how is your adventure so far?; ▶ Reply to This

I am totally enjoying this juice journey so far as well!! Hasn't been a problem to me yet, other than a few headaches some discharge from my nose and ears and a very furry tounge!! which from what I read is all good!!!

I also hope it continues like this along the way.I'll keep in mind about having a bit of good fat if hungry, actually I had a spoon of virgin coconut oil earlier and actually when I think about it it helped with a little hunger I was feeling.

How long have you eaten raw food?

I went back to exercise today after a break, and so far so good! :)

Hope you have a great day tomorrow!!; ▶ Reply to This

I started learning about it last year around October and started at about 50% at that time. Then slowly but surely worked my way up to almost 100% but I dont really say 100% because there are times when I indulge in cooked things here and there. My biggest indulgence is a bean burrito of all things. Ha ha!!
Today is day 12 for me and things are good. I'm not hungry but have been dealing with emotional issues with other people eating around me. Has been difficult but this group REALLY helps when I need that support. I feel bad for reaching out sometimes because I feel like I'm being a baby but everyone has been very supportive.
I wish you good luck and if you ever need words of support or inspiration please feel free to give me a shout and I will feed you with much needed positive affirmations!!!
Take care!!!

Keep in touch with how you are going juice feasting into the winter, I would love to hear how you are going and what it is like in regards to getting all of your supplements etc over there. I am going to be back there for a brief visit on Wednesday and I am very excited to still be juicing the whole time!
