The 400 Pounder

Well, I made it about 24 hours, then I realized that there was too much temptation waiting for me in my kitchen. I had gone grocery shopping the evening before, with my daughter, so we had a lot of foods that I knew were going to be tempting me. After talking with my daughter about my goal to lose this weight and to help me from falling to temptation, I am postponing the juice fast for two days – until all of the bad stuff is out of the kitchen. I will not be replacing those products. My daughter has also agreed to preparing most of her meals as well. As a teen, this would be helpful for her to learn how to cook, and to not torture her dad by making him cook meals while fasting! 🙂

What I learned is that fasting needs a LOT of support from friends and family, and all temptations removed.

See you all on Monday, 16 APR 2012 to reboot – and begin the 60 day juice fast.

So, I have seen a few documentaries, you-Tube videos, and various Internet articles all touting the real benefits of juice fasting. Some say do it for 10 days, others 30, and still some as long as 60+ days. Wow, that is a long time to not eat anything. The concept is that micro-nutrients as well as cellular autolysis will heal and detox your body, as well as let you drop a lot of weight. Well, I am always up for a challenge, so as of 12:00 am 14 April 2012, I am on a 60 day juice fast. Stay tuned for my day one post 🙂
