Yahoo, almost done with my 5 day intensive juice fast. I forgot to mention I've been doing a dry skin brush before taking a hot bath with dead sea salt every night. This was another way to release more toxins.
Friday, day 3 going good. Started taking enemas today. I went out to restock my fruits and veggies. I took fruit juice and veggie broth with me in case I got hungry.
My vision is improving a little bit. I found I can read better without my glasses.
No hunger today. I did have heartburn at night after adding flax oil to my veggie juice. Dr. Heidi said the oil could have been rancid or my body just wasn't accepting it. I didn't test it again.
Was asleep by 10 PM. Slept well after the heatburn passed.
Saturday, day 4 juice fast. Good day, not hungry, heartburn from day 3 gone. Vision still not great. Enemas helping to clear toxins. Good day, feel good, have energy and no nicotine cravings!
Asleep by 10PM after hot bath.
Sunday, day 5 and last day of juice fast.
Felt good when I got up. Started feeling hungry around noon. Felt more hungry all day. I think I was too active and using more energy than I was taking in from my juices. Luckily it's the last day, Monday I start back on solid food.
I forgot to mention I came down with the flu on the first day of the detox eating. I never took any meds for it because I was working on detoxing. Maybe not being able to smell food made it easier, who knows for sure.
Day 5 was the hardest, I was hungry, tired, cold and felt crabby, along with vision still not good. I went to bed early just to get my mind off food!

detoxing can be a challenge at times, but in the long run worth it. As are as the flax oil, my husband and I grind our flax seed and add it to juice, or whatever and have never had any problems with heartburn. He read that this is the best way to take flax, to avoid it becoming rancid. Just thought I'd mention it. And thank you for your comment on my blog about high fructose corn syrup and for Digging my post - anything we can do to inform the public helps. Thanks again Robin, and I wish you success with your program.

Hi Chris - you are right - doing a detox can be a challenge but I knew what to expect so it never concerned me. As for the flax oil, I do grind my seeds but during the juice fast I couldn't eat them. I used the best flax oil Barleans because it is very stable. I don't think my oil was bad, I think my system couldn't handle it during the juice fast. I don't need the oil now because I'm back on solid foods.
I've already achieved more than I expected with the detox. Anything from here forward will be a huge bonus!
Thanks much Chris and happy Thanksgiving
Wow this is a great way to share your detox results with us. I've always been afraid of juice fasts. I will keep tuned for more from Dr. Heidi. I hope she does this again before a year.
