Hello!
Sorry, I'm a bit behind with posting!
just been really busy :)
All has been going well, David is already at his target weight goal of 75kg!!
They both found it really quite hard the first 1/2 days, mum finally having an expresso and David deciding he was going to give up smoking a week later! .... ;)
Sooo, it's Day 6 today, nearly a week gone by, and we are all LOVING IT!
David says his energy is so good so far that if it keeps up like that he'll feel fine to do the full 92 day juice feast program!
I've not found it as hard as them, I believe because I don't get the cravings they do for nasty food
BUT this juice feast (I've already done one of 2 weeks before) was HARDER then last times as I'm making all the juices for all 3 of us!
SOOO, I get up quite early (5/6AM) to make mums and David's morning and work juice (1L + 1,5L) which takes around 2H. So, when it gets round to doing MY juices I'm tired and really can't be bothered! ...
I end up having mostly grape and apple/celery juices as I find them the EASIEST and QUICKEST to do, but then at the end of the day I don't feel as good as I havn't got all those greens I should be getting AND I feel I can't be bothered to make much quantity for myself so I'm drinking around 2/3L most of juice a day, and as the minimum recomended is 4L a day, it's way of target at the moment!!
Erg, but I'm kindof getting the knack of making all this juice (around 9L a day!!) but still finding it quite hard and VERY time-consuming, which isn't very practical for my school work/social time....
ANYWAYS ;)
Here are some pics of the last few days,
and our juice diary..
NOTE: for my mum and David this only records the juices I made them, and not the teas and lemon/honey water they they have throughout the day....

JUICE 1:

wow, i`m impressed with your dedication, as well as AJ your loving preparations of the juices - how can they not be yummy when you put so much love into them :-)
ReplyDeletegood luck to you all, x Srebi ( a friend of David`s)
Sorry for the invasion but i just couldn't hold back from giving you congratulations for hopping on this adventure!
ReplyDeleteI was so surprised when i came across your blog and saw what a self-assured girl you are. Starting the raw path at 14? I think I will worship you ! :)
I just found the raw food world and i am becoming more and more amazed about it and all the "healthy eating", but mostly healthy LIVING world. I feel like i'm learning a lot. But i also have so many questions!
As i am only a young girl like you, i was wondering if you have the solution for a problem i've experienced - hair loss. what foods do you think could help reverse it? i had such volumous curly hair...it really makes me sad.
I will definitely follow your adventure with great admiration! Good luck :)
Hello Srebrenka and Laura!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry I didn't reply earlier, I didn't see that I had any comments! XD
Thanks for the encouragement Srebrenka!! :)))
Laura, thanks so much for the lovely comment!
It's healthy to have lots of questions, makes you research and learn more :))
About the hair loss - have you always had it, or has it just started when you've started eating a raw food diet? If you don't mind, could you give me an example of what you eat in a typical day? << these are questions I need answered before I can recommend anything :)
Hope you both have a magical day!
AJ
