When juicing you must also drink lots of water in addition to your juices. Staying hydrated is important to your general health. It’s important to get in about 2 liters or about 68 oz of water every day. If you haven’t been drinking water routinely, 68 oz sounds like a lot. Just gradually work your way up to it and you’ll start to notice the positive difference in how you feel. Keep this up even after your fast has ended. Some Negative Risks Associated with Fasting: • Not getting enough protein, fiber, etc... • Bad Breath from ketones • Headache & poor energy levels • Hangry/poor mood • Short-term weight loss coupled with rebound weight gain • Risk of re-feeding syndrome if there isn’t a gradual reintroduction of foods

body and mind needs a reset, so I’ll complete a juice fast. I’ll limit my foods to only juices. When I’ve done juice fasts before I have bought juices from juice bars and raw juices from grocery stores. You can find raw juice kits at stores like Whole Foods. I’ll pick a couple of different kinds of green juice with kale or spinach. I’ve tried juices with beet as the base as well. At first it was scary to think of drinking beet juice but since they are sweet, it’s not as scary as you think. Most juice cleanses and programs will recommend that you drink 5 or 6 of their juices a day. I find that I usually can’t get through all of them. But I will make sure that I drink plenty of water throughout my fast. When you limit your intake to only juices, you are also severely restricting your calories. Headaches, weakness, and weight loss may come along with your fast. It’s important to talk to your doctor or dietitian before you begin a juice fast or any kind of restrictive diet.
Some Benefits of Fasting: • Short-term weight loss • Clearer mind for mindfulness • Gut rest and reset • Reset of taste preferences
