Fasting Update

So my juice feast before Christmas didn't go so well. I'm not entirely sure why, but I am thinking it might have had something to do with not liking the vegetable juices as much as the sweet, from the store, juices that I used before. I sweetened them with fruit every time, but I guess it wasn't enough. I think maybe also the amounts I took the juice in had an impact. With the first fast, I would alternate water and store bought juice about every hour (or more often) and each glass was about 8-10oz each. With the juice feast, I used my juicer to juice all types of fruits, veggies and greens. I would juice about a liter 3 times a day. I would drink about half a liter for breakfast, then finish that liter mid-morning. Then I would do about another half liter for lunch, then finishing that liter mid-afternoon, and the same cycle for dinner and evening snack. I had major trouble at dinner times when I had to make dinner for my husband and son. I am afraid I gave into temptation! However, this was my first juice feast, and I wasn't 100% raw food when I started. Actually, I wasn't even 50% raw! That was my other issue I think. It is much more difficult to juice feast if you are not first majorly into raw foods. I'm sure that it is much easier to do a juice feast when you don't have to cook for other people! AHHH! Even though I did not totally accomplish what I set out to do, I still feel that it was worth my while and worth the knowledge I gained from it. I can now use this knowledge to be more sucessful on my next juice feast. And I lost 2lbs to boot!!!
