I tried the nut milk bags today, and had a frothy like smoothie! it was good! I am finding that if I hide some of the smaller greens- like parsley or cilantro in a wrapped up romaine leaf, in my Jack LaL. they go through.
You are right, small greens even if you roll them get sucked right through. ugh. I rolled some cilantro and parsley into a couple of romane leaves, and that seemed ok, although at least 1/3 of them went in the pulp container. Do you ever use your bl…
Thanks Tomi! I have a Jack L. juicer too- as well as a vitamix. I've noticed the greens don't juice as well in the juicer- or maybe I am not doing it correctly. The directions say to roll the greens in a ball- but they usually end up in the pulp con…
I am starting today! I'll call it "spring feast 2009" ha. I have never done a fast/feast before, so I'm not sure how long I will go. Just need to have the willpower to continue to do it, and not think I need to eat. Not sure what to do with the husb…
Good for you Tomi! I have questions for you; what does your normal juice day look like? what are you juicing, and the quantity? Do you take your juicer/blender to work? Do you have significant others that you have to cook for? if you would like to a…
Hey! thanks for the info about hope4health. I googled it and found their produce delivery. If you go to www.freggies.com that is where you can sign up. They don't have anyone in my area delivering yet- but will soon! They do deliver around the Puget…
I've had UC (ulcerative colitis) for about 8 years now- tired of meds, symptoms, etc. I have read a lot in the last few months of books from different "raw" experiences- do this- don't do that- some confusing! But, I know what is right for my body- and that is a raw vegan lifestyle. I have been almost raw 96% since Jan 1. I have had a lot of detox so far, and am down 25lbs, but still have some detoxing to do as I still have symptoms of UC- but I am healing! :) I think that a juice feast will be beneficial for my bod. I may modify it a bit- with smoothies. Some vegetables juiced just don't wet my palate. I can drink greens better coming out of my vitamix rather than my JL juicer. ;')

thank your for such sweet comments. and thank you for reading. i'm fortunate to have come this far. my body has hinted that she needs a brief break. a little inward fatigue, my system as been working hard, and the idea just feels right. i've thought about working with a nutritionist but chose not to. i've been reading steadily about nutritional healing for about 20 months, and put together my own protocol along the way. this jfeast is a natural fit,
hey, you're doing nicely too. keep up with the green juices if you can. you'll get deeper cleansing and restoration with them.
hi, I think you sent this reply to the wrong Jennifer. I IM'd you yesterday. Wasn't sure if you would see it or not. I have been reading your blog everyday. You are so focused and precised. I look forward to your blogs! You are doing so well on the feast- keep it up! Why do you think you need to do a water fast for a few days? I am on day 5, and having some weird stuff happening. maybe it's detox? not sure. I am still getting used to the green juice. Sometimes I have to have variety- not sure why, probably is tied to some eating disorder I have had in the past. Do you consult w/ a health practitioner at all?
Dear Johnny,
Have you thought about Dr. Gabriel Cousens at The Tree of Life in Patagonia, Arizona? I know that's not in Cal, but after going there they do phone consults as follow ups. Gabriel has written many books on Live and Whole Food Nutrition…
Hello,
I am having trouble finding a raw-vegan friendly gastroenterologist. I need to get a current diagnosis of my condition but am not willing to go through any drug "treatments." I put myself on a vegan diet in 2000 and raw vegan diet in 2002, a…

I lost 15 pounds after suffering from a long period of nausea and headaches which were resolved by adopting a largely raw food diet. However, I lost 15 pounds and have not gained it back -- and I was thin to begin with. I intuitively feel a juice fa…

Not feeling called to do a full Juice Feast? That's ok, neither am I.
David Rain suggested I do a Modified Juice Feast based on certain aspects of my health and life.
You don't have to follow any particular plan to do a Modified Juice Feast.
This group wants to assist and support each other by exchanging ideas on what tools we can use to realize
each of our goals especially the ones that worked for us personally.
