I've been a strict Vegan since February 2008. I feel wonderful on the inside and want to return my body to a more natural state. I would say I'm about 70% raw vegan on a good day.

I have been raw since 10/09/08. I started my juice feast on 12/27/08 and it is Day 15 for me. I haven't had any major detox issues except for a running nose and a pimple here and there. For the most part, I was 100% raw for 2.5 months before the feast and drank green smoothies and ate salads. It's funny, but I had detox issues when I went raw vs. the juice feast. I have lost 36 lbs in 3 months, about 9lbs since the juice feast. I have been drinking primarily green juices, In the morning, I add apple,pineapple, or carrots to my green juices and in the afternoon I drink green juices with a lot of other veggies so the taste is not too bad.

Are you a Summer Juice Feaster?
The produce is perfect right now! Local organic is readily available! Things are greening, plumping, and ripening up. The Hot/Cool Shower (Contrast Shower) and working up sweats for cleansing is easier in summer!
If you want to grind grains, I suggest you get the extra container that does this. You could end up burning out your motor if you use the regular container to grind grains.
