It's 2:00pm. We have reached day six of our juice fast and we are still surviving, almost thriving! My group partner who is also my roommate, misses eating food so much he put ketchup on my arm and almost ate me! He was comforted however by the fact that we will be introducing raw vegetables and fruits to the fast on Wednesday so we can ease into solid food so we won't get sick. As always we drank the mean green juice at about 12:45pm. The taste was somewhat stronger. That could be attributed to us using a single recipe and the larger amount of ginger used (I felt a kick afterwards). We used a single recipe this time because too much juice is being leftover and we wanted to maximize our nutrient intake. Juice drank after a few hours does not contain the same strength of antioxidants as it would have if it was drank immediately. We also substituted bag kale for fresh, six to seven cups should equal six fresh leaves. I'm feeling my old/new self so i know that my body has adjusted. I realize that although I am a omnivore and truly enjoy meat, dairy etc. I am now "eating" beyond vegan or vegetarianism. This fast makes a vegan's diet look appealing! Maybe in the coming months I may be able to stomach a two or three month vegan diet. My roommate says that i have somewhat been vegan by default because that is usually all we cook in the house, but, we will see how my diet changes in the future.
