10

That's that. For the last 11 days, I have taken in no solid food, No refined sugars, wheat or dairy products, No High Fructose Corn Syrup, Sodium Benzoate, or any other junk that goes in most processed foods, and I feel pretty good!

It hasn't been easy, but it also hasn't been the hardest thing I've ever done. I never felt undernourished, 90% of the time I had incredible energy, my skin feels pretty good, and I know this sounds weird, but my teeth feel good. lol

I have detoxed quite a bit in the last 10 days on "Da Juice", I have lost a fair amount of weight -- weighed in tonight at 304 down from 325 a few weeks before I did the juice fast. The juice portion of things doesn't go away now that the 10 days is up, quite the contrary. For the next 3 day, I come off of the fast. My body has had no solid food whatsoever for the past 11 days, so its important to slowly reintroduce things, tomorrow I will be having some mashed up banana in addition to my morning juice. I made some raw organic coconut yogurt, and will be having some of that with some blueberries as well, as I slow myself back into things. Mushy food for the first day and a half or so, then slowly start adding in some roughage.

Thank you for your kind words and support -- it has been greatly appreciated, and has helped a lot! Truly, from the bottom of my heart, Thank You. Now comes the most difficult part for me in this whole thing -- free choice and options. For those of you in the church, this is the best analogy I can make. My body as just spent 10 days at the nutritional Feast of Tabernacles, but its time to be done and go back into the world. The choices that I make from here out will really dictate the success of this whole endeavor.

Following the 3 days, will be a 100% raw food diet for 8 days, then no more 'dieting' so to speak, just smart lifestyle and food choices. a.k.a. The REAL FOOD Diet. Keep checking back in as the journey continues.

Happy Sabbath to you all, may it be resting and rejuvenating, but most of all spiritually rewarding.
