Juice feast part of protocol

[rmoore]

Hey All

I'm starting to break the fast after 20 days. The last two days when drinking the juices my stomach gets upset pretty bad. If I dilute them with water I'm fine. This didn't happen the last 18 days though.

It is the lemon that is upsetting my stomach. I had one whole lemon in all 6 of my juices everyday and One half lemon in hot water in the morning.

How much juice were you drinking per day and how do you currently feel?

[rmoore]

I was drinking 6 juices a day 20 ounces each (lemon, celery, cucumbers, green apple, ginger, romaine, parsley mainly for all juices). I stayed away from kale and spinach because of thyroid. I thought it was the lemon but I have been eating the same ingredients mentioned in salad form and some carrots and one banana. The last three days my stomach aches and when I eat or juice it is worse and not been hungry the last three days. I think of food and want to throw up. Any ideas. Is it just detox?

You were supposed to be drinking 4-6 quarts as the directions stated. Where did you get the 20 oz figure from? You're also supposed to drink different juices so that you get a spectrum of nutrients as again, the directions stated.

Most likely detox. Or you could be getting too much of a certain thing and not enough of others. You need to switch up the juices though and things like this wont usually happen.

The devil for all of these things are in the details. There is a reason why it is laid out a certain way.

Also, how much water were you drinking daily?

My bad. I was trying to get to a gallon of juice. I was trying to use pro thyroid veggies. I know better for next time.

[rmoore]

Still have pain in upper stomach. It comes and goes. Think it might be gallstones.

[rmoore]

My energy is alright. The first week was great. Now it is ok. Head is clear. The stomach ache thing after eating or drinking happened before a few times during my pfs crash. Feels like the same thing.
