Dear Stella, writing you now as I am on my SECOND juice fast, some 1.5 years later, and I should've done it again sooner. It's day 3. I have been feeling fine but sleep has been erratic. I am up til 4-5am, get 3-4 hours then fall asleep early evening for a 2 hour nap then up again... I don't mind it as I own my own schedule but it's just strange. I don't take anything else but on this one I started having some raw honey+hot water. Yes to metabolism shutting down. Are you serious you did this for 30 days? Did you also exercise? I have not done much in terms of exercise at all. Thanks so much for stopping by! I am leaving it for the humor part !!

If you add a spoonful of Psyllium Husk to your drink it fills your stomack and helps cleansing the colon. Dont worry about looing too much weight, your metabolism halts after a while. Also I had a multivitamine every morning I had done this juice diet originally for 5 days but felt so good that carried on for nearly a month.

I haven't done a juice since I did this one well over a year ago. On your questions, I didn't feel that things were different, just quieter because your body goes into a rest mode. You do want to detox a lot but for me, I like to think things were already in very good shape in my intestines ... ;)! Who knows but for me, there were no problems. And as for Kundalini, I havent' done it much lately but when I was doing it a lot, at the beginning, it was very very hard but then I built up stamina. I was not pushing myself too much during the fast but in general, kundalini gets easier after trying it more. So I did not get giddy :)! Good luck!!! Hi Kumar, good luck with your 3-day juice.

Had a few questions, if you do not mind answering: (1) When I fast, bowel movement is the most difficult part since we are not consuming any solids and becomes even more difficult when you break the fast - how was it in your case and any way to manage it (2) I am a big fan of Ravi & Ana videos - though I do not follow every DVD, but do love the Fat Free Yoga and usually do the first 25 mins, but 1 hour will almost sweat you out - were you not feeling Giddy when you did this workout ?

I have come to the idea to fast as well and there are days I am even trying it out like fasting until the evening to see how I feel. I must say, even from such short a period of one day it seems clear to me that something changes indeed. I feel more clear and focused and more into my body. Thank you for writing this blog, it was a great read! I apologise for eating a pizza while reading this, but I have to say it was highly inspirational.
