Inspired by a friend, we’ve started our first juice fast. Inspired by on-line strangers, we’ve decided to keep a diary of it.

Sara’s Juice Fast: Day 1

8am: Sara’s fast begins. One cup of green tea. “This is easy!”

10am: orange juice

11:30am: vegetable juice

1:13pm: “The hunger is going to kill me. I’m going to die.”

1:30pm: 2nd veggie juice. Still alive.

3pm: mint tea

5:30pm: headache starts

8:30pm: “dinner” of vegetable broth (broth from boiling zucchini, garlic, green beans, cabbage) and veggie juice (carrot, celery, zucchini, cabbage, kale, parsley, cucumber)

10pm: “dessert” of fruit juice (apple, pear, grape, lemon, ginger)

10:30pm: headache ends

11pm: chamomile tea

Ron’s Juice Fast: Day 1

What I “ate” today:

• 1 Odwalla bar
• 1 small Odwalla Superfood juice
• 1 large Bolthouse Farms Vedge (tomato++) juice
• water
• vegetable broth
• vegetable juice (see above)
• fruit juice (see above)
• tea

I feel basically normal at the end of day 1–though I’m slightly hungry and could go for some ice cream and/or chocolate (but I already said I felt normal ;) ).
