Juice Fasting Day 8

Woke up naturally again with no alarm. I like this feeling. Sat in sauna for about 20 minutes.

7:30 am - Drank a big glass of watermelon juice. Watermelon is almost all water. 2 thin slices turned into one big glass of watermelon juice. I like drinking it better than eating it.

For my 24oz thermos, I juiced spinach, celery, cucumber, pear, apple, parsley and ginger. Very green drink. For me, the greener the better. (My dog likes a treat called greenie too.)

Drank veggie juice in thermos throughout day until I returned home. I feel so free not having to think about what to eat for lunch every day.

5:00 pm - I blended one avocado with a some diluted vegetable broth. Yuuuuuuuuuuumm. This was so good.

7:00 pm - Sat in jacuzzi for 30 minutes. This is as hard as working out. Its tough sitting in hot water for a long time.

Drank loads of water today.

I think its amazing that I don't feel starved, ever. I only feel hungry, but not starving. And, when I drink the vegetable juice, I am completely satisfied. I think its because I am getting all my nutrients. If I ate toast for breakfast (toast = no vitamins, no enzymes), I am starving by mid morning. Body is not hungry when nourished with fruits and vegetables! Wow.

Its really shocking to think how much I normally eat when I can survive on a fraction of what I normally eat.
