The last couple of days I have incorporated eating a peach, along with the juice. Yesterday, I totally broke my fast by eating a piece of bread & butter & a hamburger for dinner, along with my tomato soup. I had been feeling extremely tired the last few days......my legs would just burn after walking upstairs.....my bike ride would wear me out completely, to where it was all I could do to get back to my car. Juicing is supposed to give you tons of energy...from everything I've read.....and at the beginning I did feel as if that were so. But as time has gone on, I feel no energy at all. I have to admit, that I did stop using the spirulina in my juice, as the taste was too overwhelming.....so perhaps the lack of protein is the culprit. The last couple of days I have begun adding chia & sometimes flax into my juices.....these are to up the protein content....but, no improvement in the way I feel as of yet. So, I decided to have a lean, grass fed beef burger yesterday (the bread & butter I just wanted).....and although it went down well.....I literally still feel as if I have a brick in my gut......so I don't think its moving thru me correctly yet. I should have heeded the advice of those who juiced before me....and eased into other foods more slowly. I should have switched back to eating fresh produce along with my juicing for a time before adding in other items. So, now....what to do? I had planned on returning to eating this weekend, while still incorporating juicing in for a couple of meals. My CSA starts Saturday, so I figured I would juice each week until I run out of produce....so each week wold be a mini fast......but then, of course, that would mean no easing into or out of the fast.....doesn't sound ideal. SO, then I thought I could juice during the day & add in a supper of eating lean meats & perhaps a smoothie of veggies & fruits......I think that is the route I will go, and see how long the produce from my CSA will last.
Good news, I did lose another 2lbs, so total lost = 19lbs.
