So I think I have decided to do a juice fast. Crazy enough for you? I do spend some of my time watching this LDS family do video diaries of their life on YouTube. They are the Shaytards (that isn't there last name). But the father, Shay, he does a juice cleanse on a number of occasions and he testifies that it is a huge burst of energy and he feels good and healthy after about 6 days or so. And it was a thought that sort of sprouted in my mind. What really made me decide to do this was oddly enough a gift that my dad got for Father's Day.
My mom got my dad a juicer and with it, a DVD of someone with his testimony on it. What he did, was he did a 60 day juice fast. All he had was juiced veggies and fruit and water for 60 days. He lost about 90 pounds and he was able to go off his medication for an auto immune disease. There were other people and their testimonies as well with a variety of different medical issues. By no means am I doing it for 60 days. But I'm at the point in where I've been feeling uncomfortable/sick since January and I am willing to try it. If it doesn't work, well it's no harm on my body. I've been will have been eating veggies and fruits for the past 6 days. Jeff is even willing to do it with me since I'm pretty bad at diets and goal setting in general. It'll be good having him cheer me on. I figured now be a good time to try it since my parents have a juicer and we don't have much expenses at the moment.
Jeff has a job interview tomorrow afternoon with Target. So when he finds out if he will be working there we can decide when to start the fast. Good news about that though, there is a Target hiring near where our new apartment will be so he might be able to transfer. It's not his dream job, but it's a job and it'll get it started.
I have tried the juice diet for a while - I liked it - it did make you feel good. Ashley was the one to tell us about it - she had done it and really felt good too - she gave me a couple of recipes - we drank the fruit juice for breakfast and then the vegetable one for lunch. I think you'll enjoy it
