Juicing Forum

Hello everyone! I've decided to start juicing with at 10 day fast to reboot. I watched the documentary "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" last week and it really motivated me to make some changes (like that's the first time someone has posted that). Anyway, from the film, it seemed as though everyone in the film really struggled with the first few days. I'm near the end of day three, and I haven't really experienced any of the issues they seemed to have. I don't have headaches, I'm not irritable, and I haven't had any major blowouts in the bathroom. Now, this definitely isn't because I've taken such good care of my body that there isn't much of a detox. It's actually quite the opposite. So, I'm wondering, am I doing this right? Is it going to hit me eventually?

Here's what I've been doing. I juice 3-4 times a day, approximately 16 ounces. I've used very little fruit (only green apples, lemons and limes) until this morning when I used a grapefruit and oranges for breakfast. Other than that, I've had a lot of kale, celery, cucumber, and carrot. Other veggies I've included are beet root, tomato, broccoli, jalapeno, habanero, ginger and garlic.

I probably should be drinking more water, but I'm not totally neglecting water. I usually have a glass or two between juices, and a couple at night before bed as well

Hi Burdger, i am exactly the same as you! I had no symptoms of headaches etc. I am on day 6 and have still not felt anything! Im doing the 10 day reboot too so 4 more days to go, good luck for the rest of your juice fast!
