What kind of life shifts/transformations are you looking to have with Juice Feasting?
I am looking to ground myself and return to the goals I intended for myself 5 months ago when i started Raw Vegan. I need to control a lot of behaviors that are destroying my body. Immediate gratification would be one of them and an eating disorder would be the other.

There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore and who always will.So, don't worry about people from your past,there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

glad you were able to buckle down your eating. i've been reading about how various people broke their jfeasts with varying degrees of success. part of the key seems to be where they started from. my mom had a great idea. i'll put together menus for the first week or so. then have the items on hand. this will keep me on track with the same kind of discipline needed to gather the produce each week to make juices. i also plan to continue to juice certain days a week and eat soild foods the other days as a lifestyle.
did you decide to begin another juice feast? if so, how's it going?
I don't like the greens so I just jucie and add some greens once in a blue an I just need some one that can help me is this change I;m tring to make

hi Lori. congratulations on the dress and the 70 days! a super accomplishement. and what a fun, candid video. your follow up post was even more candid. did you have an emotional response to ending your jfeast? a physical one? i'm within 30 days of that stage, and i'm beginning to ask some of the same questions you did. i might go pass my first 92 days to continue with the jfeast that began March 7 but ... we'll see. nonetheless i'm really in sync with the program now but feeling kind of vulnerable too. How have the past fews days gone for you?
I haven't read the brothers site. I did see some "headlines" on the internet that led me to believe that they didn't quite get along but did not follow through with the link. I would imagine that it would be almost impossible to come through a childhood like that without some major personality "issues" and also would think it highly improbable that the brothers would remember things the same way. It would all be based on perspective. They probably both have to work through severe issues.
Have you ever been involved in fostering or in social work at all?
Anyway, take care and hope your juicing is going great.
Okay, it is called A Brothers Journey by Richard Pelzer. I checked it out from the Library but I think that you can view a copy of it on google books, although I didn't look to see if it contained the entire book or not. You remember that in one of David's books (I can't remember which one) he stated that he saw his brother one day in school and said that he could tell by the way his brother dressed and looked that the younger brother had taken his place. So very sad. Anyway, take care and I hope you have a great day.
No, after the boy was taken out of the home the younger son took the place as the abused! He said in the book that he knew that the only reason that the mom didn't do the same things to him was because he was her "tattle-tale" on the brother. But once he was gone she did the same things to him, only he never got away.
Also, there was a second book to A Boy called It, with him expanding in more detail exactly what happened to him and how that affected him as an adult and more detail about what happened to him after he was removed from the home.
I will try to look up the title of the book by the brother. I checked it out of the Library so I am sure that I can find it from my library history.
I was reading a book on juice fasting and it suggested that for long term fasts that nut milk could be beneficial for protein. Don't know if I buy it. It said that with short cleanses it will just make you want to eat solid food , but with cleanse...

There are many reasons why people are overweight – stress, lack of exercise, lack of knowledge concerning correct nutrition, over-worked, laziness etc. But I believe one of the most potent reasons for overeating is emotions. It is a well-known fac...

Hello,
I was wandering if anyone might be able to refer me to a lawyer who practices a raw vegan diet or is knowledgable about it and who might be able to give me some legal advice regarding the acne drug Accutane. I just read that it has recentl...

I can totally relate to the diversity in music. No I have not been to live or rawlicious as of yet, I have to look into that.
Do keep in touch.
