thanks for the info.. i guess i just assumed the "juices" would help with the energy; but i pooped out about 2 hours into the tournament. i didn't know if that protein drink that i drank is what started my downward fall cause it started my digestive system in which i wanted to eat after that????

I live in mccracken county...:)

i forgot to ask; what is the advantage of the Master-Cleanse vs the juice fast and do you loose weight about the same?? Good luck on your bar exam; when do you take it?? i had a friend take that exam a long time ago and she studied all the time for it...sounds like a very hard test :)

It's always hard to fast when there are family events going on! I recently broke my fast for my grandmother-in-law's 90th birthday. Not to deter you, but maybe you could order a salad and not eat any of it. That sounds weird but if you're determined to fast starting immediately, you'll break it if you eat. I don't know about juice fasting too much. I just know that on any fast, eating pretty much destroys the benefits. I've ordered salads at dinner and pretended to eat them. It's really up to you. You could always start a fast on Sunday. I think I lost weight faster on the Master-Cleanse than I did the juice fast. Water Fasting was quickest but came back on quicker. The Master-Cleanse provides some calories in maple syrup and the lemon has vitamin C. It is a very cleansing fast. It cleanses I think more than juices. There's a forum here for both! Good luck!
