Day 2 - Hunger Strikes

Day 2 

I woke up last night at around midnight with a feeling of deep hunger but managed to fall back asleep fairly quickly, your stomach will shrink due to lack of food over the first few days so this is a very normal feeling. 

Im having 4 pints of juice a day on average:
1 @ Am 
2 @ Midday 
3 @ 3pm 
4 @ 6pm 

Im fairly active during the day so having this amount is recommended, some people opt for 3 but this is very dependent on energy needed. 

I decided to have my Body Mass Index taken this morning, i haven't had it done in a long long time so decided to get a quick overview while im doing this little detox. 
Im not expecting to loose wait and  wouldn't really want to as this is more about a detox than weight loss but if you were looking to take up the juicing challenge for weight loss then you will need to look at 14 days +, any-more than 30 days and you should check with your GP first.

I was happy with the results 
 I will take another reading next Monday but will not expect a lot to change, maybe a fraction from overall weight and body fat. 

During work my energy levels did seem a lot higher from the first day and overall i seemed a bit more alert. Sitting down at lunch with a flask of juice is always a fun time when everyone around you is tucking into chewable food. 

Lunch is served - A beetroot special


 


After getting home i had a super green juice which consisted of:
3 carrots, 5 Asparagus, 8 Sprouts, 3 bunches of kale, 2 handfuls of cabbage greens and half a lemon. This will be my last juice of the day.


Off to the cinema to watch The Wolf Of Wall Street now so sure being surrounded by popcorn and sweets will be most enjoyable. Sleep well all :)
