Juice fasting can be a great way to lose weight, detoxify your body, and make give yourself more energy.
There are many ways to take advantage of juice feasting. Some people use it every once in a while to help shed some unwanted pounds, while others cycle it regularly into their diets to keep their energy levels up and their weights down.
People have been fasting for many years, and the process is constantly evolving. However, the basic goals of going on a juice diet always stay the same.
The key to fasting is that you do not want to abruptly go on a fast or abruptly come off of one. This will only make you sick. Generally what people do is slowly go off of solid foods over a period of one to three days.
After this break in period, they will fast for three to seven days and will then slowly come off of it over a period of about three days. This helps their bodies adjust so that it is not a terrible shock to the system.
It is important that you come off of juice fasting fast slowly. I learned through years of losing weight for wrestling that going on a binge after coming off a fast just leads to stomach aches and on occasion, vomiting.
However, juice fasting when done correctly makes you feel better. If you’ve been carrying too much weight around with you, it will also make you look better.
Juice Fasting How To Guide
One thing to note is that you should be drinking mostly vegetable juices. This is because vegetable juices have a low GI and will not give you the big insulin spikes that fruit juices will.
Also, you should be making these juices yourself with your own juicer. It doesn’t matter whether you use a masticating juicer, a steam juicer, or something else, but you must be making the juice fresh.
Juice fasting with store bought juice is going to fill you with all kinds of unnecessary preservatives and you may be doing yourself a serious disservice.
Juicing with a juicer is not hard to do and with all the time you’ll save not having to eat or prepare meals, you’ll have plenty of time to juice.
Use the money that you’ll save on food to buy yourself a decent juicer. Once you’ve made the initial investment, you’ll be able to use your juicer every time you go juice fasting.
Also, its not a bad idea to have a juicer anyway. Have you ever had freshly squeezed orange juice? Let me tell you, it is not a bad way to start the morning out each day.
