My
wife-to-be Becki and I are preparing for a juice fasting - a kind of
detox where you eat nothing but wholesome, fresh vegetable and fruit
juices. We came up with the idea after viewing Fat, Sick and Nearly
Dead.
We don't really know what to expect from this juice cleanse. I’ve done a detox before, including what I think is the best cleanse ever (The Clean Program), but the fasting part was all smoothies, and you still got to eat one solid meal each day.
I’m concerned cause I think the juice won't work as well as the smoothies, since my blood sugar likes to get screwy some times. All the fiber of the fruits and veggies stay in the smoothies but not in the juices. This helps to regulate blood sugar levels, and keeps you full longer.
I’m a worried that simply juicing the fruits and veggies will make my blood sugar rocket up, and then plummet. If that happens though, I suppose I can always switch back to making smoothies. After all, I didn't buy the best blender on the market for making smoothies for nothing, right?
But I like to try new things, so we're going to go ahead and do it. I had the same attitude going into the Clean detox and it ended up being great for me. I'm hoping this one will be as well.
