Tales from a Juice Fast: Day Two
Went to bed late and woke up around noon. Not feeling especially hungry nor in a bad mood. These are, given yesterday, good signs. The plan today is to have 16 rather than 32 ounces of juice at a time, spaced out through more even intervals.
1:00 pm: Following three sets of bicep curls, had pint of juice: strawberries, red grapes, cranberries, two kiwi, a granny smith apple, a carrot. One 800 milligram ibuprofen for the tendon injury in the right arm.
5:00 pm: Following brisk ten-mile walk, 16-20 ounces juice: red grapes, grapefruit, cranberries, a carrot, two tangerines. Followed with a pint of San Pellegrino sparkling water, flavored with a slice of lime.
9:00 pm: Following three-mile walk with Rachel and dogs, had quart of tomato, carrot, red lettuce, spinach, (one) habanero, grapefruit (plus another 800mg ibuprofen). Tasted better than it sounded. Followed with pint of sparkling water with lime. This actually kept me full for about three hours.
Totals: days, 2; miles walked, 23. This was better then yesterday, due to better pacing and distribution, but still no walk in the park (despite the long walk in the park). The idea here, of course, is to keep the body provided with nutrients while depriving it of calories, assuming that the combination of that and a good deal of exercise will cause my metabolism to start consuming fat. I haven't noticed this happening yet, but it's only two days.
