What Is Juice Feasting?

Just so that you dont all think I've gone completely mad- as my friend has recently told me. I wanted to share with you what Juice Feasting is and in antoher blog I will share some of my reasons for taking this amazing step to wellness.

Juice FEASTING involves consuming raw fresh vegetables and fruit juices ONLY for UP to 92 days, to rid the body of toxic build up and waste. Its designed to give your body a break from solids, freeing up energy thats usually required to break down food, to work on bigger jobs such as regenerating and rebuilding. You will be getting a break from any processed starches,refined sugars,animal products and stimulants that you would normally ingest.

This is termed as FEASTING rather than fasting because whilst feasting on juice you will get all the calories you would normally get on a daily basis. (1500) for the average woman.
You will drink between 4-5 litres/quarts of fresh juice every day; this is a large amount of NUTRIENT dense liquid passing through your body helping to rehydrate,cleanse,rebuild and alkalise the system.
Most fasts involve drinking only small amounts of liquid/calories. Juice feasting allows you to function quite normally with your own life as you obtain all the calories required on a daily basis and your body is absorbing directly all the nutrients from raw fresh fruits/vegetables and superfoods; whilst detoxing old waste matter from your intestines and colon.
