Update about….me!

So, I had the juice feast going on. It was awesome! I was feeling good, having a little detox but good. Then our super sweet seven year old made the comment: “You haven’t eaten with us in so long, Mom.” Now, combine that with the saddest most worried face you have ever seen. Heartbroken yet? Yea… So, the feast only lasted a week. Well, two days of smoothies followed by one day of water fasting. Then I juiced for five days and water fasted one more day. It was not nearly what I wanted to do, but any juicing always feels great!

I used it to transition into a high raw diet. Doing this allowed my detox/healing crisis to continue. And continue it did! Grumpy, sore, yucky feeling and low energy. Check, check, check and check. But, it’s finially letting up and I am feeling like myself again. Finally! Let this be a lesson to everyone: even vegans detox!!! HA!

So, Mama’s back! Be on the lookout for raw recipes, smoothies, juices and regular vegan dishes. It’s nice to not be snarky anymore. ;)

    What juices were you using to detox? I have found some pretty good juice fast ideas from http://www.rawpeople.com/?utm_source=A&utm_medium=B&utm_campaign=C, but I’m always looking for new ones.

    On a juice feast you are to consume a gallon of juice a day. It’s a TON of juice!!! I try to make most of mine green. The fact that your body isn’t having to process food is what allows it to start working on problems and detox.

    There are some great juice ideas on this thread at the Global Juice Feast. I also like Victoria Boutenko for green smoothies. I don’t do smoothies on a juice feast but she has great recipes you can use for juice instead of smoothies. ;) Oh! Angela Stokes has an e-book you can buy called A Juice Feaster’s Handbook. I have heard nothing but great things about it. I need to get one and review it before I feast this summer!

    I am always on the lookout for great juice ideas, so if you come across anymore please come let me know!
