DAY #13- JUICING **the aftermath**



So I did it. I successfully juiced for 3 days with no cheating. Let me tell you it was not easy. I was literally craving big fat juicy burgers with melted cheese dripping down my arms and face for 48 hours. I could literally smell the mac and cheese my neighbor.. 3 miles away.. was cooking!!! Seriously though.. smells of food make you want throw it all to hell and go to an all you can eat chinese buffet. But then.. day 3 came along.. and for the last 24 hours I was somehow perfectly fine. My body got used to it.. to the point in which I wanted to do more days. But I decided to do a 5 day cleanse next month. 


So how do I feel?


Great! I mean I'm not like SUPER energized or having a spiritual life changing nirvana experience by any means. But I do feel good. My face has cleared up, my unhealthy cravings have gone down.. In fact my first meal after juicing was nowhere near the orgasmic experience I thought it would be. I actually felt kind of revolted to food. Don't worry that didn't last long.. but I thought it was interesting. Things didn't taste quite as good as I remembered them to. It's 3 days after my last day of juicing now and I haven't eaten anything bad. Although I did party a bit last night (but i danced all the alcohol away.. thats my story and im sticking to it!). 


Weight loss wise I lost 6 lbs juicing!!! I was SOOOO excited.. until the first day I ate and I gained 5 lbs back within 8 hours. Oh well!! Juicing isn't about the weight loss.. It's about your body detoxifying itself and about a healthier, CLEANSED, you!!!
