We are one week into the 60 day juice fast: and we are actually doing pretty good! Andrew is down 23 pounds, and I'm down 16. We have figured out that 60 ounces of juice and a LOT of water is the best thing for us, and we're still not hungry by eliminating a 30 ounce juice at night.
We both actually had some cravings today. I wanted Taco Bell, and Andrew wanted popcorn or anything salty.
So it's definitely still tough with cravings at this point, but we're mostly good with that. We feel really great each day, we're SO EXCITED to be doing this.
We did a lot of talking about the kinds of things we are going to eat at the end of 60 days. Joe Cross ate nothing but fruit, vegetables, beans, nuts, and seeds for 5 months afterwards. We don't want to do 5 months, but we aren't putting a time limit on that. We decided we would do that diet for "awhile" and see how long we were able to go. Then we are incorporating fish and some chicken/turkey and all that other good-for-you normal stuff.
We are excited to start eating, haha, but we are actually excited to start eating veggie-heavy salads and finding ways to eat our favorite foods made with healthy ingredients.
The first week has been a lot of ups and downs, but mostly ups. And we are pleasantly surprised at how this has been for us, it's EXACTLY like we hoped it would be. Keep the support coming, though, because we got a long way to go still! =)
