I am in the final day of my “Mini Juice Fasting Adventure” and I can say that I’m looking forward to getting back to eating. I’ve done many juice fasts over the past 5 years and each fast has had a different set of detoxing symptoms. This one was no different! My first day I had a headache and today, day #3, I’ve started out with being hungry ! Or maybe I should say “Hangry”??? LOL What happens during a juice fast?

Here it goes… To be successful in life, preparation is the key. Preparing for a juice fast (detox) is no different. If you want to get the most out of the fast and get the best results possible, you must prepare for it. What if you don’t prepare? If you don’t prepare for a juice fast, you may expe

Okay so I have to admit, I am a juice nerd. So what does that mean? That means that I love juice! I probably should clarify that a little better for you.... I love juice fasting!!! Yes the word is out.. I love to do a juice fast. Some folks find a juice fast to be difficult. I won't deny that it can be. Not eating for a few days can be a challenge along with possible side effects; for example headaches or flu like symptoms. In my opinion, the benefits far outweigh those mino

Juicing is one of those things that’s pretty easy to figure out…. You get the produce, you put it in a machine, and taa daa … JUICE!!! So that’s the process but here are some basics to keep in mind as you explore the wonderful world of juicing... For optimal results, Organic produce is a good choice because its not only a good way to avoid agricultural chemicals but the produce contains a higher volume of beneficial nutrients (i.e. antioxidants).
