There are many who do not understand how to juice fast the right way especially for those without experience and have unhealthy eating habits. These are the group of people who will feel more adverse side effects during the initial stage of their juice fasting.It is recommended that the move toward juice fasting should be a slow and transitional one. Do not attempt to over do it in the very beginning and be very patient about things. Usually we should start getting mentally prepared for what we are going to embark on. Be ready to stop any bad habits like smoking, alcohol, caffeine, high glycemic carbohydrates, sugar, and etc.
2 days before your start of the fast, all red meat, eggs, dairy products like milk should be avoided so that your transition toward your first juice detox can be smooth. Try sticking to fruits and vegetables during those 2 days so that your body is prepared to undertake a diet that is totally short of animal protein.
How to juice fast effectively basically requires us experiencing a transitional program where we prepare a juice breakfast and then snack a low glycemic carbohydrates like vegetables and fruits preferably raw about 2 hours after breakfast. This is to keep us from the hungry feel around that time.
Then repeat the juicing at lunch time and snack again low glycemic carbohydrate that is not too excessive and rich 2 hours later. Then repeat again during dinner time the juicing process but this time a total fast onwards until next morning’s breakfast.
Try repeating this for about 2 – 3 days, then we can slowly move into our full juice fasting. All the low glycemic carbohydrate replacements in-between the meals shall be replaced with juices.
Through this method the intensity of a pure juice fast will be lesser and side effects will not be as intensely uncomfortable especially for the new and unhealthy eaters. In any case of juice fasting, we should continue to consume good amounts of water with at least 8 – 10 glasses a day.
How to juice fast also encompasses the art of breaking a juice fast. When breaking a juice fast,it requires some transitional techniques as well. Relatively, breaking a juice fasting is less tedious compared to water fasting. We can simply replace our meals with raw or cooked low glycemic carbohydrates like vegetables.
Using fruits that promotes god bowel movement is also essential and the types of fruits recommended are prunes, cherries, and grapes. Therefore, vegetables, fruits, and whole grains are good sources of food as we transit back to solid food eventually.
We should always chew thoroughly and maintain moderate amounts of food without overeating. Ensure that protein-based nuts and seeds are used before moving totally back into other sources of richer protein food.
