My Juice "Fast" Is OVER!

Hey everyone. So yesterday after I ate a meal of healthy solid foods I felt very sick and nauseous. I have decided that I will drink juices a lot but not go on a juice fast because I do not think that my body really likes it. I am still determined to lose my excess body fat though and will eat super healthy and exercise a ton! Lets cross our fingers that it is gone by summer! Thanks for all of your support and you should be expecting a beauty/fashion/makeup related post very soon! 


Lots of love-
Cami

DAY 4 My Modified Juice Fast!

Hey everyone. So today was so difficult! I should not have gone in to this fast with no other experiences in fasting! So I decided to modify it. What I am going to do is do one full day of juice fasting and then on the second day I will make juices for breakfast and lunch and then I will eat really food for my dinner. And keep repeating this over and over until I reach my desired weight. I know this kind-of defeats the propose of juice fasting but I am still going to do it! It got so hard and I fell like I do not have the energy to exercise (which I love to do!) So hopefully I will be burn off the dinner that I eat between the two days of exercise! Maybe after a while of fasting this way I will be able to do a 30 day full juice fast!


Thanks for understanding! Let me know if you still want posts even though I have modified it! :)

DAY 3 So Far So Good!

Hey everyone! So day three is almost over and I feel good! I had plenty of energy today and am ready for what day 4 has to come (hopefully it is good!) I have noticed that I have been getting tired earlier like around 10 whereas I used to go to bed around 11 or 12 but it is ok because sleep is good!


Today was good for me! As a quick snack I made a strawberry and blueberry juice which was so good! :) Then for the other meals I made the juice which I posted the recipe for in one of my previous posts!


So far so good on my juice fast!


Do you guys like this little updates on my juice fast? If so I will keep posting them, if not I don't have to.

My Juice Fast 2 Down 28 to Go!

Hey everyone! Today was a little bit harder than day one, I had a lot more cravings for real food! I really missed real food and am getting a little bit sick of the juice that I had been making so I have been looking for other recipes but the one that I have used so far has been:


1 green apple
1/2 cucumber
2 parsley stems
a tiny piece of ginger root
2 sticks of celery
1 orange
1/2 lemon
3 kale leaves


If you have any other recipes for juice please let me know! :)


I am thinking about doing weekly weigh ins so you guys will be able to see how much I am losing (if I can make it a week haha). I think 30 days might be to long so I am just going to take it one day at a time. I have taken before pictures of myself and at the end of my juice fast I will post them along with my after photos! So keep checking back.


Also, if I do "break" the fast for one meal, I will just continue it after, because 30 is a long time to only be drinking juice! haha I do not know if it is bad to break the fast, but it does not matter to me because I do not have a tremendous amount to lose! :)


Also, I had a full 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep last night! And this morning I felt great, I did not even remember that I had only drank juice the past day!


Thanks for all of your support it has really helped me so far even if it was only 2 days!

Day 1 Of My Juice Fast! (Completed!)

Hey everyone so I have completed Day 1 of my 30 day juice fast! I have managed to go one whole day so far with no food what so ever! (which was a shock to me I thought I would not even make it through the first day! haha)


 This morning I went to the food store at around 10'oclock and bought so many green fruits and veggies including; kale, lemon, celery, apples, cucumber and more. I tried to get all organic items because it is the healthiest. Then I made my juice. I was a little nervous to try it because I was not sure how the fruits and veggies were going to mix but to my surprise I thought it tasted really good!


I drank the juice and it filled me up a lot! I was full after I drank it which was around 12'oclock. Then I was not hungry again until 7'oclock! (for dinner) I drank made the same juice for dinner and it was really good!


The only thing is it is around 10'oclock and I am tired! Normally I do not go to sleep this early but sleep is good so after I post this I am probably going to go to bed! 


Oh and for exercise today I had a tennis match that I played in. (and I had enough energy to play, I was not out of energy from only eating juice) But I probably would not recommend does an intense workout the first couple of days of your fast because your body it detoxifying its self.


SO FAR SO GOOD ON MY JUICE FAST! 


Thank so much for all of your supporting comments on my previous post about my juice fast!

Intro to My Juice Fast!

Hey everyone. So recently I was reading Jasmine or http://barbie-bombshell.blogspot.com/ 's blog and she decided to go on a juice fast (she also mentioned a movie called Fat Sick and Nearly Dead which I recommend watching!) I thought it would be a fun for me to do a juice fast, even though I eat healthy and am not over weight, I have a little bit of a pooch that I have been trying to get rid of so I am hoping that the fast works!


Even though this is not makeup related , I think it is beauty related in a way. I think this because on a juice fast you detoxify your body and it helps clear your skin to. If you have acne I would try this fast out for a week to help clear your skin. I will be attempting my fast for 30 days. I really just want to get a flat tummy! :) If you want to follow me along on my journey I would love it! I probably am going to need all of the motivation I can get! haha

What is the juice fast?


Basically what it is is drinking juice and only juice for 30 days! I am not talking about the type of juice that is processed and store bought. I am talking about juicing your own fruit and veggies in a juicer (or a blender if you want, just go to youtube and search juice fast in a blender and it will show you how).


For the juice fast you are drinking raw fruits and veggies about 3-4 times a day. It is so healthy because you are only putting natural ingredients into your body and not processed food! In addition, their are many benefits to juice fasting.




Many people are probably think I am crazy!! Well, maybe thats true. I don't really know, but I do know that I am not going to be harming my body because not processed food will be entering my system. :)


I am really excited to start my 30 day juice fast, because hopefully I am only 30 days away from a healthy and happy body.


In addition just to warn people who might want to try this with me,  many people say the first couple of days are rough but after a couple of days they have so much energy! So lets wait and see...




I am really excited for my juice fast and I think I will post daily to check in and this way you all can comment and share how you feel on your juice fast!


Let me know what you think, but please don't say things like "this is so unhealthy" or anything else to discourage me please.


Thanks so much and I will talk to everyone soon! (Some makeup looks are coming soon!)
