Has anyone done a juice fast?
I am either going to do a full juice fast for a few weeks, or juice throughout the day, and then eat a light dinner.
I'll decide which after I talk with my doctor.
Has anyone here ever done a juice fast?
Now, franksolich wouldn't call what he does a "fast," because it's got plenty of nutrition and calories in it.
During the summer, because it gets too hot to eat out in the sun-burned Sandhills, franksolich simply juices up fresh and frozen fruits, or fresh and frozen vegetables. And ice.

1. Fruit juice is usually pretty high in calories and sugars allbeit natural sugars if 100% juice. I don't see how that would be good for anyone unless you're constipated. If you go all vegetable juice, then why not have the satisfaction of a crunchy v****e instead of just the juice.
Sounds like a fad stupidity to me.
I wasn't aware juice was "good" for constipation.
Of course too-tight or too-loose bowels have never been a problem for franksolich, who learned intestinal fortitude early on in life.

2. It's mostly v****e and greens, with some fruits as a rule.
And for people like me, who have problems processing raw whole v*****s, it's a great way to get nutrients.
Uh, I'll bet Lu doesn't have a problem "processing" chocolate or other sweets, though.
It's odd how that works; I call it the "warpy phenomenon," where the primitives are "allergic" to things good for them and surprisingly not allergic to things bad for them. The "warpy phenomenon."

3. I did this one, once, and I lasted 9 days:
http://themastercleanse.org/
I followed the rules exactly. I like my liquids hot, rather than cold, so I sipped it all day long, hot.
After a day or so I was not hungry at all. If you should be interested to do it, and have questions, pm me.
I lost about 5-7 pounds, I don't remember, I did not do it for weight loss. And when it comes to clean insides, I think I might have been comparable to a newborn when I was done.
Don't do it if quick dashes to the bathroom are not possible.
One wonders why the caution about "quick dashes to the bathroom."
franksolich has never had to make a "quick dash to the can."

4. A few weeks is TOO MUCH unless you're doing it as an inpatient
Think more in terms of 10 days.
Really.
I dunno.
The defrocked warped primitive, even though her license has been suspended for life, knows something about nursing, but last year franksolich was on such a diet from mid-April clear until the end of October, given the heat out here, and suffered no ill-effects.

Lucinda has problems processing raw whole vaginas?
Too bad, it really IS a great way to get nutrients. Nutrients a man can't get from any other source :-).

It's very peculiar, sir; it's singular among the primitives.
I call it the "warpy phenomenon" after the defrocked warped primitive, she with the face like Hindenberg's, because she's "allergic" to milk and dairy products, but not allergic to chocolate and other sweets.
It's just very odd, how the primitives do that, managing to be allergic to things good for them, but not allergic to things bad for them.
(Yes, yes, of course there's such a thing as "lactose intolerance"--generally among those of African and Asian derivation. But the barred-from-nursing-for-life defrocked warped primitive is of far-northern-European derivation, where one either tolerates lactose.....or dies.)

Has anyone here ever done a juice fast? Hell yeah. In the winter time I milked (juiced) that old milk cow as fast as I could. She was happy too...cold hands and all, you know.
Eat more watermelon.

Not sure about this Frank, the Finland's have a very high incidence of diabetes and heart disease due to their intake of Milk, butter, cheese ,and red meat. AH the Finns love their beer and Summer Sausage, a cultural thing.
Frank, as I was growing up I remember a photo someone in the family framed from Life Mag. of a B&W picture of a woman in the Phillipeans holding a suckling baby to her breast, the child about 3 years old still feeding from their mother had a cigarette in his tiny hands. Yes the baby was smoking between sips of milk.
About 25 years ago when I began working with Asians right off the boat as they say, all reed thin and healthy as horses. As years went by and the New Americans began to eat our diet, they gained weight and came down with ailments never known before in their country. Few Asian comunities ever saw Gout or Gall Bladder disease.
There is also the fact that the Asians ate allot of American Chinese food, not the real stuff, this stuff is loaded with FAT. Our diet was making them ill.
Head to South America, the chili peppers cause the stomach to release peptides, stomach ulcers will drive a Doctor down there nuts. WTF is the problem, we do not get this problem.
In the Nam war, children taken to US military hospitals were dieing for no known reason until someone realised a diet normal for America was full of fats and the children needed the diet of their DNA, rice, Greens and fish. None of this Milk, meat, sugar, and bread.
Food is what we are raised on, when we travel the world and leave our diet behind all kinds of shit happens. Neighbor who married an Australian from the out back said she often was found in the garden eating grubs.
Some folks coming in from Indonesia find frozen bats a Holiday special. Had a older man from Asia tell me how their comunity ship in live cobra, under the nose of port authorietys, and how to kill it, seems like they take it by the tale and snap it like a whip to break its back, peel and fry like we do lamprey eels up here.
Food is what is at hand, be it cabbage or turnips, sheep or goats. Lizzard is a staple in the world as is Anaconda and of all things the huge bugs we get from the ocean, Lobster and Alasken King Crab.
