Day 5: A few discoveries that rock

Don't be alarmed by the pictures of solid food, I'm still juicing! I woke up at 8:10am...and got out of bed! Weirdo, I know. But that's how good I felt! I was ready to get up, so I did. Not to mention all the little critters sitting beside the bed and staring longingly towards the kitchen, that's always a strong motivator. Now it's around 2pm and I'm feeling a little sleepy, but it's time for another juice so maybe that will perk me up. But before I go I'd like to go over a few crazy facts:

1. Even though I'm overweight, I ate pretty fantastic before I started this fast. We cooked every meal at home and had two veggies for every meat on our plate, but I still detoxed. My body still went through the headaches and nausea because it contained toxins that shouldn't be there. My point - anyone can benefit from a juice fast. To illustrate my "I ate very healthy" point, here are two typical meals that I consumed on a regular basis:

2.   Celery! I despise it. But I can juice it! Spinach, Kale, Celery, Cucumber - all veggies on my black list, until I juiced them. Without the awful texture, I not only tolerate celery, I enjoy it. Don't knock it till you juice it.

3.   I feel nourished, healthy, satisfied even when I drink a juice. It's not at all the same as drinking water or something else in the traditional "beverage" category.
