Timing is odd.. I have just started doing one day juice fasts.. Hopeing to do one day on one day off for a while as a modified 'one day diet' with masses of fruits on the day off days and none of the silly sales pitch on diet aids. As the month progresses I may work into 3 day fasts and see how I feel.

I realize a water fast longer term is a bit of a different beast than a short term juice fast as it leads to more detox etc and also that you go past the stage of hunger etc but I will be interested to hear how you do. Also with the juice fasting it helps to have fresh live fruits and juice them yourself but we are kind of limited on that front for some stuff.. So I am modifying a few parts around.. Simply put it will be an unsweetened fruit juice only one day and allow solids alternate days.. Will attempt to keep solids to healthy but the whole point of one day diet is to allow youself freedom the next day so that anything you crave is only a day away. Its not even mostly weight loss I am doing it (though that is a reason) mostly that I dont feel as healthy or high energy as I used to and its an excersize in will power.

When I was younger (mid / late teen and most of my 20's) I would naturally fast for 1 or 2 days a week due to being sometimes very busy with workloads and other times through drug use and partying.. In fact for years and years it would be normal for me to eat nothing on a sunday and a 1 day a week fast is supposed to help your system regulate.

I used to find simply not eating pretty easy and sort of simply forgot to eat much of the time when I was working 16 - 18 hour days running a biz. Living with Thai women who eat 5 meals a day is rough, mine actually gets mad and annoyed if I dont eat with her but its nuts, non stop grazing.
