As you can see, we stopped a few days earlier than normal, as on the Friday (the 11th), I suddenly found myself very hungry, and despite that fact that it was a Friday, and thus usually would have been my once a week fasting day, I decided I really wanted to eat something more solid.. Besides,my weight had dropped to just above 50kgs, and I didn't feel to let it slip more..

Hugs,
Mango.

Juice Feasting - June 2008

Kveta and I have just finished another 9 or 10 days of juices.. Something that is becoming a regular monthly thing we do..

I Found a set of scales the day before we started, so can report that my weight was about 57kgs on the first day, and 52kgs on the last day.. thus a small loss of 5kgs over 10 days. (If only all those people struggling with weight problems could realise just how easy it is to loose weight.. All, the body needs is a chance to occupy itself with the task).. Kvetas weight at the start was around 51kgs. Forgot to weigh her in at the end..

Anyhow, here's what we drank:

DATE	ME(orange juice)	KVETA(grape juice)
08/06/08	4 x 5dls	4 x 4dls
09/06/08	4 x 5dls	2 x 4dls

11/06/08	4 x 5dls	1dl,1dl,2dl,2dl
12/06/08	3 x 5dls	1dl,1dl,1dl,2dl,3dl

14/06/08	5dl,1dl, a few grapes, 3 sharon fruits, some grapes	1dl,2dl
15/06/08	3dl,5dl,4dl,5dl	2dl,4dl,2dl,2dl,3dl
16/06/08	3 x 4dl	3 x 2dl
17/06/08	Juice Feast over..	We ate durian & tomatoes mostly today

hugs,
Mango.

Slightly different scenario this month.. Nothing really jumped out as being in abundance and in season so instead of just mono juicing as previously, we decided to go with just mixing what we had in the blender and drinking it..

Unlike previous juice feasts, we never really had a proper cut off point, but instead kind of ate a little toward the end of the juices, but continued juicing..

Kveta writes it all in more detail in her own journal.

Personally, I think I refer the affects of a mono juice feast, as to be honest, just blending ones food before drinking it is rather like just eating it.. I don't believe I exerienced any of the normal symptoms that one does with mono juice feasting.. no special cleansing, no weight loss, no feeling that I really wanted to eat anything elsetoward the end..

Nevertheless, I am sure that it was beneficial and gave the body a certain amount of freedom and rest.

hugs,
Mango.

Each glass is about 5dl of juice..

Basically, to begin with, we just juiced what we had left in the house, then went on to the watermelon which we still have an abundance of! (They were being sold at 29 cents a kilo!!)

Today's Sunday, the 10th day, and we've decided to go and get a durian this morning.. I am looking forward to it as really feeling to eat something other than watermelon!!

Kveta and I decided to eat even more frugally for the christmas period..
sort of to balance out the normal run of the mill seasonal gluttony, I guess.. - how does that saying go?

Anyhow, this is what we ate:

DATE	ME	KVETA
24/12/07	Dry Fast	Dry Fast

01/01/08	Juice from 2/5ths of a watermelon, 1 and a half grapefruits  (juiced), 1 avocado. 2 tomatoes.	Juice from 3/5ths of a watermelon. Juice from half a grapefruit.

it's the 2nd today.. we havent eaten yet, and have no food in the house excepting one lemon.. So we are going out on a big fruit hunting expedition. Hopefully bag ourselves a durian or 2..

hugs,
Mango
