I turned 40 on Saturday. I knew there was no way I would start as juice fast when there was cake, and my sister's amazing cooking. So I tried to be as "good" as possible - only having one serving of everything. Then, yesterday, I started my juice/smoothie fast.
I did some reading, and it looked to me from reading blogs from several nutritionists, I decided a strict juice only diet would not be best for me, as I am a "protein" metabolic type. I have always had a lot of success with higher protein diets - and I really better with some protein in me. So, I went and found some gluten free protein powder and put it in a smoothie of frozen fruits and fresh juice for one meal, and juiced the rest of the day. And, a day later I am down 4 lbs. I am really hungry, but juicing is fun. Yesterday I made a juice of broccoli, kale, celery, tomotoes, garlic, spring onions, and ginger. it tasted like dirt, but was pretty filling. I am taking the crazy dog on a walk in the morning as my daily exercise to start.
Here's to another day!
