Juice Fast-Here We Go!!!

Today is the first day of my three-day juice fast. What is a juice fast you ask? We'll let me tell you.


A juice fast is when you cease to eat, and instead consume only water, tea, or home-juiced vegetables and fruit for a set period of time. The most common is three days. The long-term benefits are numerous, and the ill side-effects short term.


Fresh juiced vegetables and fruit are one of the easiest, best ways to absorb nutrients to the body. The mechanical digestion is reduced, leaving only the the vitamins, minerals, water content, and sugars to be digested. It is argued that just eating raw vegetables and fruit is better for your health, because you are taking in the fiber with the nutrients, and I don't think anyone would argue the health benefits of eating plain veggies/fruit, but the juiced versions are a little easier to manage (in my opinion). 


My husband is patiently waiting on me to leave for the gym, so I will wrap this up and be back later to indulge a little more and blog my progress, but I will leave with my starting stats:


weight: 147.6
Breakfast: 2 carrots, 1 fuji apple, small handful of red grapes-juiced of course. Delicious if i might say so.


Starting strong, but nobody starts a race weak...I'm interested to see how the day pans out. Well off to try to obtain Marisa Miller's abs. Post coming later to mark my progress!
