About Me

NOTE: I rewrote this page August 2015.  My opinion of juice fasting has changed due to some unfortunate side effects from multiple 40-day juice fasts over the course of approximately nine years.  Please see Nearly 3 Years Later: 3 Broken Bones & 200+ Pounds - The Long-Term Effects of Juice Fasting

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I started this blog because there was very little information about the side-effects of long-term juice fasting available in layman's terms - at least that I could find at the time of starting this.

Originally this blog addressed lessons that I had learned over the years.  I had hoped that these would help others with what to expect, how to make things taste better, and whatnot.  However, long-term, multiple fasts wreaked havoc on my body.  (Please note that I qualify this with long-term, multiple.)
I cannot in good conscience leave pages up encouraging people to do what may be just as harmful - or more so - to them as it was for me.  Therefore, I have deleted many of the pages and left a few that address some side-effects.

I am not a doctor, dietitian, nutritionist.  I am neither paid nor sponsored by anyone, and you will never see my smiling face on an ad for a juicer.  I am simply someone who was so desperate to lose weight, reclaim my health, and live a normal life again that I was willing to juice fast.

On a brighter note, I am currently working with a personal trainer (who has a medical background, by the way), and am lifting heavy weights and am eating healthy, balanced, and correctly-portioned food...lots of food!  I've had more success with this program than I ever had with juicing and will be posting about this as I reach certain milestones.

Hopefully this blog will help you ask more questions when you talk to your doctor about juice fasting. Thanks to everyone for all of the positive input and support!
