I just completed a 24 hours fast/feast. Greater clarity and body strength. Since using Best Health Drink Ever in my fasting I can go longer periods without craving food.

I didn't know this site was here, and am so glad to find it. I am currently on Day 43 of my first juice feast and am (I HOPE) coming a bit out of the most intense emotional 2 weeks that I can remember having in a really long time. I literally got to the point where I started (still am) isolating a bit for fear that I would say something completely horrible to someone!!

Now I feel a little (a lot) better, but feel some overwhelming depression happening.

This is so intense. This does get better, right?

I have fasted several times for the last 20 years. Currently it has become a challenge (not to start....but to stay focused on the fast). I know from long time ago that pure juice fast create strongest environment (mental and physical ) to achieve success. Something about liquid versus solids (fruits and veggies). Green smoothies are good transitional food before and after fast. I have joined now this global fast to learn, support and be supported. I also hope that my daughter will achieve her Weight loss goal .. it is crucial now for both of us.

It's really not what people should have to do. I know I have it easy compared to a lot of people, and it's a complicated affair, but people should not have to do so much to sustain so much.

I certainly don't make every moment of my life count. If I did, then I would be more gratified by what I do.

in many offices, the day-to-day is getting more hectic. hard to imagine. as staffs shrink, those who remain are being asked to do more in the same amount of time, often with fewer resources and fewer benefits. raises are frozen or non-existent, companies increase healthcare costs for employees, and 401k funds dwindle.

that combination makes it difficult to have a personal life, a real life. i'm with you on the 5 hours of sleep each night. i can't handle that most of the time either. i end up changing my alarm a couple of times each morning then making up for it later in the week. the overall influence of my jfeast has a lot to do wiith that. but working and constantly working has more of an effect.

i'm saved by the fact that i have a God who's active in every aspect of my life and a passion for my work. otherwise i easily could be hopeless.

I've debated about whether I should post about this or not, since it's not about diet really. But, it is what I wake up at 2 am obsessing about. I can't grasp how people work in an office and also have a life.

I have between 2 and 3 hours free per day, M-F. That is not enough time to do anything really. Some of that is because of how I manage my time. I worked from home for 10 years. I used to get up at 8:30 start work immediately, stop at 4:30, go on a 2 hour bike ride and play with the dog and converse with my then girlfriend and study and relax... This is no life, or 2/7 of a life.

My ex tells me, "yeah, well try that while raising a kid and going to school". If I think back to how I used to deal with working in an office, I did it by sleeping 5 hours or less per day. I don't think I can handle that now. Arghh.

Worst of all, my job is causing me brain damage. I am (or I was) a software developer. In my current job I don't do anything that keeps my skills exercised. So, my resume is being destroyed and my abilities are being destroyed.

I have no kids and no obligations to anyone, so I could conceivably get rid of all of my possessions and be free of the need for all but the most meager income...

I just learned something new, thanks Patricia.
I think my family just has such a hard time seeing me not feel well. I've been through a lot the last few years and they want nothing more but to see me happy again. I became a raw foodist over a year ago but relapsed into pretty bad emotional eating after a really bad divorce.

i'm sorry your family isnt supporting you. unfortunately, people tend to criticize what they dont understand.... stay strong!! you've heard the proof from past feasters and you are a believer....so lean heavily on that :o)
my colon therapist said that she typically couldnt distinguish btwn candida coming out or carbonated beverages (pop, beer) - the bubbles appear the same apparently - but i dont drink pop or beer at all and never have - so i figure it had to be candida. i dont get itchiness anywhere though so i just dont know. i guess as long as i stick with the feast ALL be will cleared regardless :o) stay strong sister!!!

Hi Patricia,
glad to know I am not alone with the depression. I just had a talk with my family again telling me to abandon the juicing, how I've been looking terrible, etc. I know it is part of the healing but they think I am making myself sicker and sicker.

I don't know for sure about the Candida. I get vaginal yeast infections really bad, so itchy I think I am going insane! Last week was one of those insane itchy weeks and this week I am feeling only a little itch. That's why I am hoping Candida is in remission.

I have never heard of seeing Candida bubble out during a colonic. Does it look like the typical "cottage cheese" of yeast infections?
