Day four...... What a day!

Well here I am at the end of day four with a new perspective on things. Today I literally did spring cleaning all day. I had so much extra energy that I wanted to be busy constantly! Every time I was feeling kinda sapped for energy I would just drink some more juice and BAM more energy and kept going. I had no coffee either, so today was a great day. Also I didn't have super bad cravings  for crap instead I have been yearning for avocados, I can't wait to get my hands on one of those. 

So I didn't really explain any of the benefits of juicing or rather juice fasting. I received a concerned email today ( I love you, you know who you are) being weary about me fasting only on juice. I was like, dang I really didn't explain it too much, I would think I'm crazy too! This dear dear friend is super proactive when it comes to no preservative GMOs whole living lifestyle, and she was concerned, so I expect some of you with a SAD ( standard American diet) were like holy guacamole ( mmmmm guacamole) this girl  is bananas.

So I am going to give you guys a list of the benefits of a juice cleanse or juice fast.

"Benefits of a Juice Cleanse

•       More energy

The digestive system gets a break, so that energy used for breaking down solids is now freed up!

•       Clearer skin

When the colon has to deal with too much build up from processed foods, this can come out in our skin! Clearing out the gates can really make that skin glow!

•       Reset your taste buds

What you will notice after you complete a juice cleanse, is that everything tastes different. We re-establish that sensitivity to flavor.

•       Lose weight

This shouldn’t be the main intention of doing a cleanse, but the pounds will come off naturally. All that junk from your gut will be released.

•       Re-establish your relationship to food

Since you won’t be having solid food, this is a great time to see what surfaces when we aren’t able to have our favorite comfort foods. It is great to reflect and see if we are using food to become emotionally satisfied!

•       Improve immune function

Also an obvious detoxfy the body of chemicals"

**** I copied this directly from fit life.tv kaitlyn Stevens article she explained them well enough I though

Hope that gives you guys a little more information about what a fast does. The reason I chose to do a fast is, I needed to once and for all cut those cravings for junk i had out, I needed to strengthen my inner will and determination, and I also wanted to reset my taste buds to crave healthy things. As you can see  I am craving veggies today, and that is an amazing feeling.  I can say without a doubt i have or am having everything on that list happen to me! It is amazing to see what extra nutrition can do for you.

Now I know what your saying, how does that explain how your perspective changes. Well I am just gonna say I learned a lot of new information today that is pretty interesting, I can't wait to share it with you guys tomorrow!
