Here’s how I do it: I juice Breakfast and Lunch at the same time. I take my juice for lunch with me in whatever glass bottle I happen to be reusing. I know you’re supposed to drink the juice right after it’s made, but like you said not always possible. I’m not bringing my juicer to work with me! Then I go home and do the Dinner thing. I figure getting to drink two out of the three meals right away is better than not juice fasting at all! Hope that helps :)   [End]

I went to a website giving consumer ratings and comparisons, like that given by one of the other responses, made a short list of models I felt I could live with, and found one of my first choices on e-bay for under $100 (that included shipping.)   [End]

There are some websites with helpful info on Juice Fasting. My favorite is http://freedomyou.com/index.htm Click on ”Fasting Center” and read all the info on those pages before taking on a juice fast. It gives a pretty good overview of the concerns, benefits, and proper ways to go about fasting. I’ve juice fasted 3 times for a one week period each and it was wonderful. I think the next time I’ll shoot for 2 weeks or so. To directly answer one of your questions: Yes, you SHOULD NOT use bottled juice from the store when juice fasting. These juices are cooked (pasturized) ...

I don’t think your body needs anything extra to cleanse. Your body will release plenty of waste matter during a plain ol’ water fast. I’ve never done the salt thing, but it doesn’t sound too pleasant or terribly safe. I agree with Markus. Listen to your body. Best of wishes to you all!! Melinda   [End]

Yeah, I think nutrient supplimenting during a fast is fine. Your body actually has stores of many of the vitamins and minerals it would need and uses those stores during a fast, but I don’t see what supplimenting would harm. The only thing I found that I really needed to suppliment during a fast are the electrolytes (calcium, magnesium, and potassium.) Otherwise, my heart rate is sometimes a bit irregular. Anyway, I’d say go for it you feel safer that way. Peace of mind during a fast is definitly important. Best wishes!!! Melinda   [End]

I’m definitly more of a fruit juice fan, but one mainly veggie mix that I still enjoy is: 1-2 apples 4-5 carrots 2 stalks celery 1-2 handfuls spinach These are all pretty versatile ingredients. It’s pretty mild, but I’m sure you could add lemon or something if you wanted more of a zing. Spinach is one of the only leafy greens that I can successfully stomach in juice. I have a hard time with the others, as well. I’m on day 5 of my fast (1st three were on juice and this is day 2 on just water) and I feel great. Juicing for a few days is a great intro for the body to a true fast ...

I know what you mean! I’m back to cleansing (today is my 5th day) and I’m already dreading going back to normal eating. Well, I guess dreading is a little too harsh of a word, but I love the way it feels after my body has released all those toxins that we come across in day to day life. Best of wishes!!

Hello! Most people generally lose an average of a pound a day or so fasting. This also slows toward the latter half of a longer fast (longer than a couple weeks.) I’ve also had eating issues in the past, but I’d advise seeking counseling before fasting to loose wieght. Most fast for detoxification or longevity and weight loss is sort of a side effect. If you do, however, feel that fasting may help you (it does sometimes help people let go of ”worldly” attachments) please, please do some research so you know how to fast safely. Here is a web site I recommend: http://freedomyou.com/i ...
