There's gotta be a catch

Well, it's day 8 and I couldn't feel better.

At times I wonder if I'm doing this right. I've had absolutely no problems aside from occassional food cravings.

I wouldn't say I feel hyper-energetic, just about normal. I don't drink as much lemonade as most people seem to. I feel quite happy with about 1.5 litres a day (I drink considerably more water).

I plan to wrap this up after ten days, and will take four days to ease back into regular eating. Although I fully intend to eat healthy meals, I do look forward to indulging in a few guilty pleasures. If nothing else, this fast has made me learn to appreciate food in a whole new way.

The one thing that puzzles me is that my face hasn't cleared up. I have a case of mild Acne rosacea on my nose, and previous juice fasts have fixed me up within three days. This time I've seen no improvement. Perhaps the cayenne pepper is an aggravating factor?

All the best! Tweet
