While you can workout during a juice feast, I would use that time and bodily energy for cleansing.....not building. There will be plenty of time for that afterwards. Like.....the rest of your life.....During the juice feast, work on your stretching, mobility and meditation. Just kind of relax and don't stress yourself unnecessarily. If you can do it for two weeks, that would certainly be preferred. The other part of that is if you work out you're going to need another two quarts of juice or more to make up for the calories burned. The bottom line is, you're going to drop weight on the feast. Don't stress about this because you're trying to build muscle. This is one of the reasons why this is best done in the beginning.

If you need support during the feast, we can possibly set up a skype session and I can walk you though a few of the sticking points that people hit in the beginning. Doing this is an exercise in mental fortitude among other things and sometimes people can become emotional and want to quite. You don't realize how much you use food as a crutch or for comfort until you can't have it anymore. You learn alot about yourself during times like this. It is definitely a builder of character along with being one of the most healthful things you can do for your body and mind.
Ok, I guess taking pine pollen daily would be fine then. My estrogen level has never been high after quitting SP, so that might not be necessary.

Thanks for the explanation on the juice feast. I'm definitely willing to lose some muscle to take steps forward in the other aspects. And thank you for offering the Skype session too, I know it can be annoying having to answer questions regarding this topic, but for guys willing to put in the work and follow the protocol, you're an absolute lifesaver to be able to talk to while going through the process. You couldn't be more right on the building of character, that's what this whole process has been for me. You don't realize how much you take little things like being able to be a true alpha male and perform on a day to day basis until it is taken away from you. Knowing what I was, and how great that life was now that I've experienced that, has been a great motivator for me to get to get serious and get my ass in gear following this routine. Life's 1% what happens to you and 99% how you react to that, and I refuse to let this supplement define my life and call my shots.

I've been hitting the juice feast website hard, got a pretty defined protocol and schedule ready to rock when I get back from work travel.
