About Me:

I have been trying raw foods off and on the past several years. 2 years ago on March 1st I juice feasted for 17 days. I was doing well, don't know why I stopped, but I did. This time I plan to keep on going....as I love the way I feel on juice!

What kind of life shifts/transformations are you looking to have with Juice Feasting?

I am looking for renewed joy and vitality, greater spirituality and awareness, more connectivity, as well as a 40 pound weight loss, looking younger, losing liver spots on the back of my hands.....and to stay 100% raw after the juice feast.

Relationship Status:

Married

Where are you on the dietary spectrum?

Raw Vegan

Interests (Beyond Nutrition)

cats of all sizes, the Sonoran Desert, Northern New Mexico, cooking, foreign languages (French, Spanish, Italian, Portugese, Arabic and smatterings of others ) spreading of joy and love.....becoming independently wealthy,

Favorite Books

oh I read so many, I don't even remember anymore....will have to think on it

Excellent Films

hmmm....have surely seen some, tired of movies for the most part

BACK ON THE JUICE FEASTING WAGON....AND SEEING GREEN... DAY ONE

I have been juice feasting about every other day....usually have had juice in the day....but I haven't been consistent. I am back to try again.....in my initial juice feast which I started mid-February I lost 10 pounds and experienced a bit of that juice feasting bliss......so I am back at it, to lose more weight, to hang in there longer and to just do it. I do do do do want transformation....so I need to work for it. I am so thankful for this website, and the Rainoshek's and all of you, and raw… Continue

A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS......PLEASE...

If you are reading this....you are my friend. And I do need some help. I am 'thinking' myself out of my job. I want out but I don't want it to go the way it has been heading.....ie I am willing myself to be fired (or that is my fear) and I can see how that could happen....not because they don't like me, not because I am not competent at my job, not because I am not needed at my job, not because I don't care about my job or do it well...but because my job bores me...even when I am busy......and s… Continue

A GOOD DAY INSPITE OF IT ALL

Last night I made a Pico de Gallo juice from a recipe I found on Penni Shelton's blog....but I substitued leek for onion...and I have a word of advice. Don't. The leek is contrary to what I was thinking at the time, way too strong, esp if you get some of the really green parts in there...strong and bitter or something....I made 2 quarts and I couldn't drink it. So I had a quart of tangerine/orange juice today, and then went out and bought 16 oz of green juice with beet and apple in it, then afte… Continue

THE YELLOW FLAGS ARE UP

Oooh I just had a nice lovely poo......and my colon is smiling. Today I realized just how sneaky my self-sabotage mode is. I cheated a bit....and I should not have...and as far as cheats go it could have been alot worse...but I know what is going on....and I have to nip it in the bud. It is self sabotage....what is it about feeling fantastic, doing awesome things that is so scary? That makes me...and others I realize.......put the brakes on just when things are looking good? I think I can get pa… Continue

Your body is just needing some extra nurturing and TLC while it detoxes and adjusts. Hang in there girl! You'll be perkin' better than ever real soon! Take Care!

At 3:18am on March 12, 2009, patricia said…: Hi Alessandra, you can do it.... i know you can do it :o) youve got the drive and determination and youve got the power in the knowledge that this works and is the most beautiful thing you can do for your body, mind, heart, soul, spirit.... you went for 13/14 days? right? thats alot and you should be so proud of yourself. and remember, you can call me anytime.... im here if you ever need to talk. or vent. or whatever. :o) its certainly not an easy endeavor but each time you are getting stronger in your resolve to do this. God allows u-turns and do-overs every single day.... so come jump back on the feasting train when you are ready :o) we'll welcome you with open arms :o) lots of Love and Light...patricia

At 11:14am on March 9, 2009, patricia said…: hey alessandra :) how's the feasting going? Ive been thinking about you. :o)

At 10:54am on February 25, 2009, patricia said…: how much are juicing each day? i keep feeling hungry and empty and that makes me tempted to eat.... im thinking if i up my juice intake so i dont ever feel hungry then it wont be such a struggle for me each day to try to keep my mind off of food. how much are you taking in??

At 7:06am on February 25, 2009, patricia said…: I once read somewhere - i cant recall where - to try and think of great smelling foods as nothing more than scratch 'n sniffs.... it smells good but youd never put that scratch 'n sniff in your mouth....same thing for the good smelling toxic food. sometimes thats easier said than done but sometimes that thought really helps me to overcome my temptations.

as for your two frozen juice pops.... when they melt they are really nothing more than juice, right? :o) which gives me an idea.... juice some pineapple and/or some other juices and make pops out of them.... that might be a tastey way to have a little something different on this juice feast. hmmmm i might try that.
patricia :o)

At 6:25am on February 25, 2009, Mary said…: I'm so glad you are feeling better, Alessandra. I've decided to go visit my daughter for a week. My doctor has told me to hold off until the 2nd week in March to go back to work - so this is the ideal time to go see her. (I had eye surgery on Feb. 5th). So - I will be out of pocket for a bit.
You're doing great! Keep up the good work!

At 4:38pm on February 24, 2009, Erika said…: hey, ya its pretty cool here in T.O, theres tuns to do. know i havnt read her blog ill get on that though. thank u so much for ur kind words.. well if ur ever here give me a shout, we can totally hook up.

At 7:16am on February 24, 2009, patricia said…: Hi alessandra :o) Today is Day 9 for me...I started monday morning 2/16.... its going ok.... yesterday i was sooo tired all day. i couldnt wait for the day to be over so i could go to bed. its been interesting to see what i will feel from one day to the next... but like you i just keep thinking about the transformation that i want with this so i am going to see this through. I cant very well see the transformation if i dont, right? :o) i wish it was easy all the time, but i do get tempted and i do pout about not being able to enjoy freely all those bad foods.... but thats just it, they are bad foods that arent going to do anything positive for me.... so sometimes its more of a struggle to stick with this but i am going to make it. i want it too bad. and i love the light feeling. theres really no feeling in the world like being satiated on juice.
:o) YEA!!! DAY 9!!!!! :o) patricia

At 11:24pm on February 23, 2009, Mary said…: As to the tiredness - are you following the protocols David R. outlines on juicefeasting.com? If I were feeling that way I would wonder about two things: 1. Am I getting enough greens? (David's recommendation: 2 lbs. a day plus 1 whole head of celery)
2. Am I possibly going through a detox? Am I doing enemas to be sure that my body is not reabsorbing toxins being released?

At 11:23pm on February 23, 2009, Mary said…: I've had several types of juicers - I guess, thinking back, it was more in the beginning that I had this problem last year. Maybe it was the combos of juices I was making - as they were very hodgepodge back then! LOL

Nut milk while on a long fast?
