Just getting started on this. I don’t have the willpower some folks have, so I’ve been gradually cutting down on food as I get into it. I’ve been juicing for a couple of years but until I saw Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead it didn’t occur to me that a juice fast is doable.
I know from experience fasting that it gets easier after a day or two. I can do this.
My favorite juice is orange-carrot-ginger but it has too much sugar for me to be drinking huge quantities of it. Ditto apple-kale, but fortunately kale is relatively mild in flavor so I can drink it in small quantities. Hint: a pinch of vitamin C powder will prevent juices from turning brown.
Today I made a half gallon of tomato juice blend, but I cheated, I pureed the tomato in the blender. Like Ray Stewart, I think it’s a crime to put a beautiful Roma down the chute. I PROMISE, I will juice it next time.
Anyway, the juice blend was tomato, carrot, beet, kale, celery, cucumber and a half lemon. I will be perfecting this recipe, and of course juicing the tomatoes rather than pureeing them.
Normally I’d read the group THEN post. I didn’t. I will read now.
I will be blogging my recipes as I develop them.
