Day Eleven

I just want to say two things first:

1. I'm glad I didn't start this fast the week before finals.

1. And I'm glad I didn't get sick; which, leaves me not being to terribly worried about number one.

Very few hunger pains today. I'm honestly wondering if that's because I had two Naked juice drinks today or not. I know the day I had to replace one with an Orange Julius I had a similar occurrence. We'll see what happens when I'm on a juice day that's all just my juice. I'm kinda hoping it's my body acclimating. Actually, I really hope it is.

I can now sit across from people eating normal food without a problem. I know for some people this takes just a few days, but I'm weird. So, what do you want?

UGH, the more research I do about this diet while on it, the more it really irks me bad. So many people are calling it a fad diet. No! Bad! STOP! The rice diet is a fad diet, taking diet pills without moderation is a fad diet; this is not a fad diet. I wish people would do their research and see all the benefits it has, how many accounts of people coming off so much better because of it. But it's not a fad. It's very healthy, especially if you add a little salt and protein supplement to your diet. Many people don't, but if you're worried? Do it.

I've lost weight and I'm dying to get on the scale, but I won't. I'm going to be a good girl and wait till my first 30 days have passed. I don't want to become obsessed with a number. and I want it to be a reward, an incentive, for doing well and sticking with it.

How Gary?

The side pains are gone completely. Any infection that may have existed? Doesn't anymore. Honest. The real problem he has now is (upper) back pain (it's going away and use to be all over). But, he thinks that's because he's losing body fat on his back and his skin isn't used to being that close to this bones. I'm not sure how common that is when people lose weight, but he's getting better. I don't think the bed is really helping, but he's getting use to that as well.

Overall, we're both feeling a lot better. Our moods are ten times better, we're not fighting because we're grumpy, and we feel healthier. So, if this is a fad? I'm not sure that means it's a bad thing under this context.

Thank for reading and supporting.

Oh, and a note: Naked juices are not a good replacement for juicing yourself. If you HAVE to drink juice and you don't have any on you, they are a great replacement once or twice in a bind. But, you don't want to drink just those on a juice fast. One, because they're more expensive; and two, because they're 'gently pasteurized'. You won't get all the wonderful benefits and nutrients that you would from FRESH juice.

Good occasional replacement, but not a regular solution.
