That’s very good to hear, Sam. You’ve inspired me to do another fast, lol!

Thanks for the answer.

I am off my fast and feeling fine. I ate right away, very small portions. We have a mostly healthy diet based on Dr. Furhman’s pyramid. I do eat smaller portions now, but aside from that there are no lingering effects.

Hi Sam, I’m replying late (it couldn’t be helped) so I’m sure you’re off your fast already. How are you feeling?

As for your question, I’d suggest eating clean, that is, whole foods concentrating on fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, and lean protein sources. The longer you do this, the cleaner your system will be. I went for 3 months on a diet like this and slowly reintroduced the “bad” stuff back into my diet. Unfortunately, when you do this without doing a cleansing every now and again, toxins do build up again…

But really, it’s all up to you! Find what works for you and go for it.

Hi!

I’m on day 4 of a mostly green veggie juice fast and I feel pretty normal. I’m thinking of stopping the fast early, I had planned on 7 days. I don’t think I want to blend foods. I have added veggie juices to my diet for the past few months. In you opinion, what types of things should I eat and for how long?

Hey Bobbi, my apologies I couldn’t respond sooner, your smoothie fast is long over. However, you really didn’t need my input. Can you imagine not doing anything wrong? We always do the best we can at every given moment. That’s a spiritual perspective that I love to chew on ’cause it makes me feel good about myself and confident in all my decisions.

On a practical level, what you described in your comment was just perfect, especially if it’s your first fast. There are so many ways you can fast that all you have to know are the basics of why you’re fasting, how it works in the body, what foods are most cleansing and then make a plan that works for you for where you’re at now. And you did that so congrats!!!

The next fast you can try something different, going longer and eating/drinking even more cleanly, and progressing in such a manner each time you cleanse. But it’s totally up to you.

By the way, how do you feel after the cleanse?

Your blog is really cool to me and your topics are very relevant. I was browsing around and came across something you might find interesting. I was guilty of 3 of them with my sites. “99% of blog owners are guilty of these 5 errors”. http://bit.ly/tBfFqz You will be suprised how easy they are to fix.

Hello I’m on day two of a smoothie fast, this is my first time doing something like this and I feel I’ve done it completely wrong. First off I jumped right into it, I ate one slice of domino’s pizza and two hot wingetts for lunch then later on that night had a ceaser salad for dinner. The next day started the smoothie fast had water, chai & mint tea, & a green smoothie (which included Orange juice which I just read I should stay away from on another site.) Throughout the day. Second day which is today I had water, chai & mint tea, aloe vera juice, chicken broth and my green smoothie. Tomorrow I kinda want to wean myself off the fast by eating fruits and salads, is that safe? Then the day after that I Want to have the same stuff but possibley add grilled chicken in my salad for dinner? Please give me your opions on how I should start back to eating cooked foods? Also please tell me if I did an ok job for my first smoothie fast? Thank you…..
