I just did a couple days of juice fasting for a cleanse but ever since then my appetite has decreased and I do not crave junk food anymore. I used to HAVE to have chocolate like every night and now I only want it once a month. Food is less appealing to me and sometimes at dinner I'll just eat fruit because nothing sounds good, esp. meat. I've been eating a lot of rice.

Has anyone else experienced this after their fast/cleanse/detox???

That happened to me when I changed my diet. "Breaking the Food Seduction: The Hidden Reasons Behind Food Cravings---And 7 Steps to End Them Naturally" by Barnard explains why this is so.

Chances are most of it is in your head, but that's not necessarily a bad thing if it's helping you eat healthier.

OMG i was just thinking about the juice fast, and im so happy your sharing yur experience! =] If you don't mind can you please tell me what kind of juicer you have? and share some reciepess

Well, actually it was very simple. The format for the juice fast I did was:

AM:
16 oz prune juice with 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
then every 30 minutes alternate 8 oz. distilled water and juice (your choice of flavor, I did Apple Juice).

At noon one more tablespoon olive oil
at dinner time again with the olive oil
all this time alternating every 30 minutes with the water/juice.

For 3 days.

If you must eat it said to eat some of the fruit of your juice, so if you drink apple juice you can have an apple.

Do not plan on leaving the house, esp. the first day!

I'm a very picky eater and I mean PICKY, think I could do this and substitue the prune juice with something else? Not including apple juice, grape juice, or orange juice. Told you I was picky! Think cranberry juice would work?

Nope, sorry! Prune juice it is. You can pick any of those other juices for your juice for the rest of the day, though, but you must do the prune in the AM only. Hold your nose and just suck it up!

I'm just doing something similar... well, I've been doing it since 8h... how did you feel the 2nd and 3d day? it happened to me to do one day but never 2 or 3... does it really help? (Hope so).

hey guys i am planning on doing this, but is it healthy to do my normal 3-5 mile run every day whie doing this, especially if I am not geting any carbs.

I am scared of the answer to this, but , when you do the olive oil at lunch & dinner, are you doing it with prune juice, your juice choice, water, or worst yet, by itself.

I got my prune juice, but I forgot to get distilled water. Does it have to be the distilled water?

I have the next 4 days to do this. Thought it would be a good!

Thanks!

the one i am planning on doing you can eat rice and vegetables and fruits in addition to juice, oh and unsalted nuts

So can i exercide heavily like usual, or will I need more carbs

I wouldn't do exercice...and surely not such a long run. Your body should be getting rid of toxins and all bad things and all the energy should be there... I had a nasty headache yesterday, but it's quite normal for me each time I stop sugars...

BTW, the 1st day you'll spend the most of your time on toilets I've planned a little walk but I don't feel like sport...

Well, for me the prune juice is just in the morning ...

For the lunch and dinner, I mixed the oil with the juice (apple for me), I'd be unable to eat it or to swallow it with water, even with juice it's beurk...

Thank you Adrika for letting me know how you did it. I just don't know that I could have handled the Olive Oil by itself! If you have done this or are doing it now, how is it? I'm going to start tomorrow!

Just Prune juice in the AM. For the Olive Oil I would put some on a spoon, take it and then quickly chase it with some Apple Juice! Ick!

Thanks Cherokee! I was wondering if I could do that. Just the thought of drinking a glass of apple juice w/ olive oil stirred in it makes me a little queezy! If I can just think of it as a shot with a chaser I might stand a chance with this!

Thanks for posting this detox, this will be my 1st one!

I've done it and I'm proud of myself

I felt a bit weak and had some headache, and of course was a bit irritable poor hubby, but I fell much better now, and I have no craving... I haven't eaten my desert, I just didn't feel like it, I think that was the very first time in my life
