The ideal technique for successful fasting is the use

of fresh, raw fruit and vegetable juices. On such a diet,

the full spectrum of nutrients is supplied in an easily

assimilated form, so the digestive tract is able to remain

essentially at rest. It is only through the combined use

of both cleansing processes, and a very good diet, that

one will be able to reach her or his maximal level of

physical health and an unclouded consciousness.

"SFZPVSFBEZUPCFHJOZPVSKPVSOFZUPCFUUFSIFBMUI-FUNFTIPXZPVIPXFBTZJUJTUPCFHJOtransforming your life. Well start by asking a few simple questions: Whats in your wellness

regimen? Does it include aerobic exercise? Adequate rest? Meditation? Nutritious food? How

about juice fasting to cleanse and revitalize the body?

Picture the vitality of fresh juices flowing through your digestive tract as you begin the body

cleansing process of juice fasting. Think of these juices as a powerful river that is filling your

body with essential vitamins, antioxidants, and other nutrients while, at the same time, remov-

ing mucus forming foods from your diet.

Mucus forming foods? Whats that? Simply put, theyre acid forming foods that diminish the

vitality of the body and make it harder for the body to heal. Foods with a higher acidic content

include dairy products like milk, butter, and cottage cheese. They also include meats, poultry,

and fish products. If you havent already made the connection, theyre foods you likely buy at

the grocery store every week and consume as part of your regular diet.

JUICE FASTING: A VITAL PART

OF YOUR WELLNESS REGIMEN


6/56


Juice fasting rids the body of the sludge of mucus that builds up in your system when you con-

sume acidic foods (Its graphic, but you get my point). It also cleanses the body of chemicals,

toxins, and other harmful materials that you consume, inhale, or otherwise absorb through

your environment. At the same time, the healing properties of the fresh juices revitalize and

rejuvenate the body.

JUICE FASTING IS A GREAT WAY TO TUNE UP THE BODY FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

While it cleanses your internal organs and systems, it also promotes weight loss, makes your

skin glow, and leaves you feeling energized. And, it offers many other health benefits as well.

JUICE FASTING: THE FIRST STEP ON YOUR JOURNEY TOWARDWELLNESS

Are you ready to make juice fasting a vital part of your wellness regimen? You wont know how

good you can feel until you give it a try. For starters, try a short one-day or weekend juice fast.

Its an excellent way to supply your body with live enzymes that speed up your internal cleans-

ing process. It also helps to flush out toxins in the body and reset your system. Plus, the juices

contained in green (alkaline) drinks are assimilated directly into the body without stimulating

or stressing the digestive system and are perfect for a short-term fast.

Juice fasting is the quickest way to restore your body to good health. It gives your cellsyour

entire beingthe opportunity to cleanse, nourish, rejuvenate, and heal.

Hey, what more do you need? Or want? Through juice fasting, you can get a jumpstart on

new eating habits, detoxify your body quickly and efficiently, and, best of all, you dont have

See if these New Years resolutions sound familiar: Im going to get in shape; Im going to

lose those 10, 15, or 20 pounds Ive put on over the last few years; or, Im going to change my

eating habits because Im tired of feeling sluggish and blah all the time. And the list goes onand on.

I got so tired of making those New Years resolutions every year and not experiencing the

IFBMUIGVMDIBOHFT*XBOUFEBOEOFFEFE#VUJUEJEOUDIBOHFUIFGBDUUIBU*XBTUJSFEPGBMXBZT

being tired. I was tired of not enjoying my life like I used to. And, I was tired of looking at

myself in the mirror and not seeing the youthful and vibrant being I once was.

So what turned the corner for me? For starters, I decided to try a different approach to healthy

living rather than the same old approach I had been trying. I decided to take charge of my

health and my life. I read up on juice fasting and then took action to try it. I tried juice fast-

ingthe healthy way. And you know what? I found that juice fasting isnt as hard as I thought it

would be, and I now have tons of energy! So dont fill your mind with thoughts that you wont

like it, or it will be too hard to follow, before youve even tried it.

Juice fasting regularly is not hard, and it has tremendous health benefits, if you do it right.

Now I juice fast once a week, which is a healthy way to keep my body fresh, strong, and best

of all, healthy!

How do I juice fast? I consume only alkaline (green foods) one day a weekall day long, or if

I choose, over the weekend. Sure, it was tough changing my bad habits at the beginning, and

People younger than me often ask me how I keep my skin so soft and radiant, and how I can

have so much energy. To be honest, its a combination of a few things:

t I eat a healthy diet.

t I go on a short, one-day cleanse every week.

t I drink lots of water.

t I use only natural and chemical-free products on my body and face.

t I exercise! I like to do 20 minutes of yoga every morning, and I really enjoy taking a

45-minute brisk walk every day. To top it off, I get a kick (literally) out of jumping on my

mini-trampoline two times a week for 20 minutes at a time.

t I have a POSITIVE ATTITUDE.

Its all part of my wellness regimen!

A WORD ABOUT INFLAMMATION AND FREE RADICALS

A poor diet leads to faster aging, illness, and disease processes. This isnt to imply that we can

control chronological aging, but we can slow down biological agingif only we would decide

to eat right, exercise, and enjoy healthy lifestyles.

Inflammation and free radicals are just two of the harmful things out there that can attack our

bodies and accelerate aging. I know what youre thinking. These terms are confusing, so lets

take the time to discuss them before we move on.

Most of the illnesses that afflict the human body are caused by inflammation, which is a natural,

protective response to injury, infection, or illness. Inflammation is beneficial when its initiatedby the immune system to stop deadly bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms from invading

our bodies through cuts, during illnesses, or through surgical procedures. However, as with

all things, too much of anything can be harmful to your body, and that goes for inflammation

too, especially when its chronic.

Free radicals? Dont they sound like a bunch of rebels who have run amok? Well, in a way, they

are. In the simplest of terms, free radicals are unbalanced, reactive atoms or molecules that

CONNECTION

can cause damage to the cells of the body. The creation of free radicals can be stimulated by

QPPSEJFUBSZDIPJDFTUPPNVDITVOQPMMVUJPOPSDIFNJDBMTBOEJOnBNNBUJPO"OFYDFTTPG

free radicals in the body can overwhelm the immune system and lead not only to aging, but

also to a variety of illnesses, cancers, arthritis, allergies, and infections.

WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY ABOUT JUICE FASTING

All of this may sound overwhelming, but Ive spent

years studying and researching the impact that good

PSQPPSOVUSJUJPOIBTPOUIFCPEZBOE*LOPXUIBUXF

have the power to change bad habits and to experi-

ence a healthier way of living. Its never too late. I

am living proof that you can juice fast your way towellness with the right program, and thats what this

book is all about.

Juice fasting goes hand in hand with exercising

regularly and eating the right foodfood that has a

high nutritional value and that is rich in antioxidants.

The good news is that food rich in antioxidant

properties can help slow the harmful processes that

DBVTFDFMMVMBSEBNBHFJOUIFCPEZ$FMMVMBSEBNBHF

can lead to cancer and diseases, as well as speedthe aging process.

Information regarding the connection between diet, health, and aging is nothing new.

However, it bears repeating because individuals today, many of whom are considered over-

weight, need to hear this vital message again and again.

Ive come to the realization that the only method to ensure a long and healthy life is to con-

sume the right kinds of food, and to curtail the amount of food most of us ingest on a daily

basis. Now hold onto your horses. This doesnt mean I want you to starve yourself, but you

and some of the food were eating is making us sick, and can even, eventually, kill us.

on the run, we sometimes forget what were shoveling into our mouths. So, this book is just a


11/56


friendly reminder to nourish your body with the right types of food and to give your body time

to cleanse, heal, and rest, which you can do through juice fasting.

Juice fasting is not a new way to care for the body, but I was fascinated to discover that even

Socrates and Plato juice fasted to attain mental and physical efficiency. So did Galen, the

2nd century Greek philosopher and physiologist. Mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras

would juice fast up to a month. Paracelsus, one of the worlds foremost founders of medi-

cine said, juice fasting is the greatest remedy. And, Hippocrates, the original Father of

Medicine, often prescribed juice fasting for his patients. In fact, the Hippocrates Health

Institute, which has been a leader in the field of natural and complementary health care since

the mid 1950s, endorses the practice of juice fasting one day each week. Pretty impressive

words of wisdom from some of the worlds greatest thinkers, wouldnt you say?

Author Ron Lagerquist, who is a modern-day advocate and expert on juice fasting, states

that juice from fruits and vegetables are filled with nutritious and healing properties.

And did you know that juice fasts are a standard practice in many natural health clinics, includ-

ing rejuvenation programs offered in European clinics?

Max Bircher-Benner, M.D., who founded a famous European raw food clinic called Vital

Force, instructed others in understanding that raw fruits and vegetables have remarkable

healing powers. He also taught that fresh juices stimulate the bodys cellular functions to

better absorb nutrients and excrete toxins.

"BSUJDMFUJUMFEi"HJOH*TB.JTUBLFwXBTQVCMJTIFEJOBeyond Health News, an onlinenewsletter with cutting-edge articles on the latest health issues. This informative article, which

was written by Raymond Francis, an internationally recognized leader in optimal health main-

tenance, advises us to eliminate sugar, milk products, white flour, and processed oils from our

diets because they increase the proliferation of free radicals and inflammation, and lead to

advanced aging.

Dr. Brian Clement, a leader in the international progressive health movement, is an advocate

of juice fasting as a beneficial way to regulate blood sugar and rest the bodys digestive sys-

tem. Heres what he shared with me about juice fasting during one of my interviews with him:

0OFPGNZmSTU JOnVFODFTXBT BIFBMUI BVUIPSJUZ OBNFE1BVM#SBHH

was very clear when he spoke and very convincing because he lived this

in residence there, you could get up at 6:00 in the morning every day


12/56


and exercise an hour and a half or two hours with him on the beach for

free.

In the colder months of the year, he went to Honolulu, Hawaii, and did

the same. He drank juices and fasted. When I met him and heard him

lecture a couple of times, he said to me, Young man, food is very impor-

tant, but not having food at least once a week is equally important, if

not more important. When he said that, it resonated with me because I

understood anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry at a basic level.

I understood that the body is no more than a machine. Every machine

should be shut off at times and rested. If youre eating very good, pure,

organic, vegan, or living food, even those foods have debris. Wouldnt it

be nice if we shut off the digestion process and the elimination process,

in large part, one day a week at least, to allow the energies to go out ofthat lower area of your energetics, to the higher areas like the heart, the

head, or the emotional and spiritual states?

Thats why youve read in philosophical technologies and religion and

spirituality that when people want to approach and touch God, they fast.

These are the laws of physics were talking about now. Its very simply

unlocking and releasing the energies that are normally down there for all

the digesting, chewing, and pooping. Now were putting it up there to

the heart and the head.

I think its a remarkable thing to do. I think because were addicts, its

food and using it as a narcoticso every time we think or are unhappy or

happy, we eatit pacifies everything and calms you down so you dont

have to be conscious.

The second problem is that about six out of 10 of you listening today

especially if youre the typical sugar-eateror maybe seven or eight out

of 10 of you, have low or high blood sugar problems. You have either

hypoglycemic or diabetic problems, or youre close to them. Thats really

difficult for people. When you take the juices on a fast day that are made

of the right sprouts, like pea green sprouts, sunflower sprouts, or wheat

grass sprouts, these are all complete proteins. They regulate blood sugar,

BTZPVLOPXCFDBVTFZPVWFEPOFUIJTXIFOZPVHPPOBHSFFOKVJDFGBTU

with sprouts included, you dont have that struggle.


13/56


You dont have the blood sugar going all over the place. Youre not think-

ing all day long about drinking half a gallon of carrot juice, beet juice,

or something. Your body basically, inherently, and naturally feels good,

nourished, and filled.

What all of these experts seemed to understand is that raw fruits and vegetables, which are

BMLBMJOFJOOBUVSFBSFOVUSJUJPVTBOEIFBMJOHUPUIFCPEZTPXIFOZPVKVJDFGBTUPOUIFKVJDFT

of this natural produce, youre not only providing your body with the vital nutrients it needs,

but youre also allowing it time to rest, repair, and reenergize.

There are few things better for you than a thorough cleansing, using nutritious, safe, and sat-

isfying methods. And, Im here to share with you how to achieve equally positive results using

a powerful juice fast system. Ive enjoyed the benefits of this system for years and know that

it improves your skin, helps with weight loss, and optimizes your health, all at the same time.

JUICE FASTING IS POWERFUL, NATURAL MEDICINE. Its cleansing, energizing, and

stimulating. It rejuvenates the body and promotes cellular repair and fills you with a sense

of contentment and well-being, which is felt on all levelsbody, heart, mind, and soul. Juicefasting is a simple detoxification process that encourages clearer thinking and healthier body

functions, and increases that zest for life youve been missing lately.

CAN YOU IMAGINE . . .what it might be like to drink in, or absorb, some of natures most

beneficial components, like sunshine? You know how good sunshine feels on your skin on

a beautiful day, but did you know that chlorophyll, which is the pigment that makes plants

green, has been called natures greatest healer? This natural healer is found in most raw

fruits and vegetables and is what makes juice fasting such a powerful force for good health

Water fasting no longer works because we have such a stressful, pol-

luted, insane world we live in. Were losing, probably, five to six times the

amount of nutrients than someone in 1890 did. The stress alone burns

nutrition out of us like crazy. Water fasting was probably viable hundreds

or thousands of years ago because we had a pristine environment.

Remember, there were no pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, airplanes,

BVUPNPCJMFTUFMFWJTJPOSBEJPJ1PET#MBDL#FSSJFTPSDFMMQIPOFT/POF

of this stuff existed. We were imperious throughout our days, resting,

contemplating, praying, meditating, or whatever you want to call it, with

family. We were very colloquial within our family or, maybe, with our

neighbors.

Now, every day, all the problems of the world are right in our faces. If you

dont have enough problems, turn on the television. All of this stuff burnsyou out.

Water fasting no longer works for people. Remember, Ive tested hun-

dreds of thousands of people. Thats a literal term. Its been almost 40

years that Ive done this work. Even those of us who eat impeccably,

exercise, and do everything were supposed torarely, I grant youlack

some nutrition.

What chance does the average person have if somebody like me, who

has done this for 40 years and really eats impeccably well all of the time,lacks minerals? Maybe its every four years or maybe for two weeks, but

I catch that. Thats because of the load of activity that we have today.

Water fasting doesnt cut it anymore.

Its time to give your body a much-needed break from solid foods. Its time to allow your body

a period to rest and rejuvenate itself. You schedule vacations or days off to relax and get away

from the daily stresses of life, dont you? Well, your internal organs and systems need that

same respite from the grind (literally) of having to process your daily intake of food. They need

time to clear away internal debris and to renew themselves. Juice fasting gives your body that

support and sense of renewal.

Even the heartiest of us vegetable lovers might balk at that meal.

Youd have a satisfying meal, which your body would be able to readily absorb. In fact, your

body would be able to assimilate over 90% of its nutritious value! Plus, youd be consuming

a vitamin-rich juice that is easy on the digestive system and ideal for juice fasting. And, of

course, green!

Regular juice fasting is part of my wellness regimen. It makes me feel more spiritual, grounded,

and in touch with my inner guide. I think its because I know that Im doing something good

for my body. When I juice fast, I feel like Im nourishing every cell of my body with life giv-ing energy, because I know that fresh juices are loaded with vital and essential nutrients,

especially alkalizing minerals. At the same time, I also know that these juices are cleaning my

internal system of unwanted debris, toxins, and mucus build up. Juice fasting simply makes

me feel good on the inside and the outside, and it shows in the way I look, which is energized

and refreshed, and in the positive way that I face the world each day.

#FDBVTFTPNBOZPGVTBSFTUSVHHMJOHXJUIPCFTJUZJUTBMTPXPSUITBZJOHBHBJOUIBUKVJDFGBTU-

ing promotes fast weight loss. Many individuals who juice fast experience weight loss in the

range of one-half to one pound per day for the first month. And, theyre accomplishing this

feat without having to take diet pills!

And did I mention that juice fasting is a great way to help the body heal from medical compli-

cations caused by heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. (Dont expect to hear any such

claims by Western health care professionals.)

Healing occurs because these juices are alive with antioxidants, enzymes, and other nutrients

that work at a cellular level to bring the body back into balance. Thats why juice fasting is

considered your inner healer.


19/56


-FUTNBLFUIFNPTUPGUIJTKVJDFGBTUJOHFYQFSJFODF Since juice fasting is a healing event,

how about finding ways to honor your body, mind, and spirit while youre juice fasting. Ive

found that adding some mild aerobic exercises to my lifestyle works great, like taking longwalks. In fact, juice fasting is a great time to reconnect with nature and Mother Earth, so think

about taking a nice, relaxing walk along a nature path. I also like to perform deep breathing,

which is a must when juice fasting, at least in my opinion. Adding meditation to your deep

breathing is also beneficial, and helps to cleanse physical impurities out of your system while

increasing your blood oxygen level. Meditation is also a great way to still the mind and to

connect with your inner guideyour intuition.

For a feel-good way to end your day, try a hot bath with Epsom or sea salt to get your blood

pumping and to replenish your skin and soothe your senses. You can even add a couple of

drops of lavender essential oil to get the benefits of aromatherapy. Take it from metheres

nothing quite so relaxing as a good, long soak at the end of a stressful day. Go ahead, pamper

yourself!

MAKING THE MOST OF

YOUR JUICE FASTING EXPERIENCE

ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF A JUICE FAST!

Juice fasting eliminates typical mucus forming foods from our diet. Yuck, you say and then ask,

What are mucus forming foods? We touched on this a little earlier, but its well worth cover-

ing again. Mucus forming foods are so common that theyre found in most of our pantries and

refrigerators! They include dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt, as well as meats, fowl,

and eggs, just to name a few.

Juice fasting accomplishes the task of removing the leftover mucus, dead and damaged cells,

other foreign material, and gunk that stays trapped in our digestive systems. Juice fasting

also supplies the body with adequate nutrients that it can utilize to heal more efficiently. The

entire cycle is incredibly powerful and regenerating, and the best thing is, you already have

the capability of creating this process.

JUICE FASTING FOR WEIGHT LOSS

Juice fasting nourishes your body with enzymes that are contained in raw fruits and vegeta-

fat and help digest the food you eat. They are the catalysts for every chemical action and

reaction that takes place in the human body.

Enzymes are literally your magic bullet for effective and permanent weight loss.

+VJDFGBTUJOHJTUIBUFGGFDUJWFGPSMPTJOHXFJHIU#VUSFNFNCFSUIBUKVJDFBMTPTVQQMJFTDBMPSJFT

so if youre in this primarily for weight loss, you can further reduce your calorie intake by

reducing the amount of high-calorie vegetables, such as carrots, that you select for juicing.

Also, you can always substitute water for some of the juice in your juice fast plan.

However, remember that achieving better health is more important than cutting a few calories.

So while youre focused on the scale and on how many pounds youre losing, remember to

also pay attention to how great youre starting to feel, and after only a short period of time.Instead of jotting down your daily weight loss on a chart or in a journal, focus on staying physi-

cally active and in shape. And, while youre working on your body, remember to also keep your

thoughts upbeat and to engage your spirit in energies that lead you in a positive direction.

Rome wasnt built in a day, so dont saddle yourself with unrealistic expectations about the

amount of weight youll lose by juice fasting. Remember that everyones metabolism is differ-

ent, and height, weight, muscle mass, and fat have a lot to do with the speed and efficiency

with which your body will react to the juice fast. Just know that your body will accommodate

changes at its own speed. Some people lose weight and feel better right away, while for oth-

ENGAGE YOUR CREATIVITY WHEN YOU JUICE FAST

Juicing doesnt have to be boring. And, its not just for health freaks or health junkies who

dont care what theyre drinking, and how it tastes, as long as it gives them the results theyrelooking for. Juicing is a wonderful way to stimulate the taste buds and enhance the senses,

while at the same time offering vitality and greater health benefits.

Make juice fasting a project in creativity. You can try the juice and vegetable blends that I

SFDPNNFOEJOBMBUFSDIBQUFSKVTUUPHFUZPVTUBSUFE#VUPODFZPVHFUUIFIBOHPGJUUSZ

some of your own blends, based on the flavors you like or the different benefits that each fruit

or vegetable offers. Youll educate yourself on the benefits of green food in the process.

If youre new to juice fasting, I suggest you start slowly and go with a partial-day juice fast or

choose a single food diet or juice until you feel youre mentally and physically prepared to

successfully complete a 24-hour juice fast or a one- to two-day juice fast.

*MJLFTUBSUJOHXJUIBOIPVSKVJDFGBTUKVTUPOFEBZBXFFL#BTJDBMMZJUKVTUSFRVJSFTTLJQQJOH

breakfast. For example, if your last meal of the day is at 7:00 p.m., then an 18-hour juice fast

would involve juice fasting for the rest of the evening and through breakfast the following day.

You can do that, cant you? Try this for a few weeks and then try doing it for two consecutive

days for a few weeks. A partial-day juice fast hardly interrupts your schedule, but it will offer

the body the chance to rid itself of toxins and rest from digestion processes.

"GUFSZPVHFUUIFIBOHPGBTIPSUKVJDFGBTUZPVDBOUSZMPOHFSKVJDFGBTUJOHQFSJPEToEBZT

at the beginning of each month. You can even advance to 710-day juice fasts every season

for added benefits! And when youve mastered that, you can try juice fasting one day per

week, which gives your body 50 days out of the year to cleanse and heal. You body will thank

you for the time out.

STARTING OFF

THE RIGHT WAY


23/56


GETTING STARTED ON A GREEN JUICE FAST

Going one day a week without food is the goal I recommend to all of my clients. Doing a juice

fast once a week allows the body to regularly rest from food and multiplies the health benefits

to the body.

On those days, I recommend three to four 8-ounce servings or more of green vegetable

juice. Its a plan you can start and use once a week, as I do. Just wait until you see some of the

fabulous green juice recipes that I share with you in this book.

BUT DONT FORGET THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER

All living matter needs water to survive. Water makes up 60% of our body weight, and itsessential for proper functioning of the body. Our blood contains about 92% water, our brain

contains roughly 75% water, and even our bones contain about 22% water.

We need water to cool the body, metabolize fat, remove waste, and convert food to energy.

Adequate hydration is also necessary to maintain muscle tone and skin tone.

So, whether youre juice fasting or not, drinking adequate amounts of water should be a daily

goal for good health.

A JUICING MACHINE FOR YOUR JUICING ROUTINE

Theres no time like the present when it comes to juicing, so if you havent tried it, give it a

whirl. Every day, more and more people just like you are introducing larger amounts of raw

foods into their diets through juicing. And it makes sense. Juicing delivers the highest levels

of nutrients to the body and doesnt tax or overwork the bodys organs and systems.

So, if youre going to start juicing and want to invest in a juicer, here are a few tips you should

consider before you shop for one:

TYPES OF JUICERS

While the main function of a juicer might be to extract the juices from raw fruits and vegeta-

information on the most common types of juicers on the market today. This will give you a

great starting place so you can find a juicer thats just right for you.

TWIN-GEAR JUICER (ALSO KNOWN AS DUAL AUGER JUICER)

This is an incredibly effective juicer, which uses twin gear technology to slowly crush fruits and

vegetables so the nutrients are preserved in the juices. If you want to maximize your nutrient

intake through juicing and can afford the higher price, this machine may be for you.

Operation: This juicer uses an interlocking twin-gear mechanism, which rotates in an inward

direction to crush fruits and vegetables. Some models also contain powerful bio-magnets

that help reduce the rate of juice oxidation and provide for higher nutrient levels.

The Hippocrates juicer is an example of a twin-gear juicer. It operates with dual gears that

employ powerful magnetic technology to juice even wheat grass, aloe vera, and herbs. Its

versatile and can also make foods like ice cream and nut butters.

Appropriate for: Virtually any fruit or vegetable, even stringy or fibrous vegetables like

grasses, herbs, and sprouts.

CENTRIFUGAL JUICER

This is one of the most common and fastest types of juicers on the market. Its a great machine

for first-time juicers.

Operation: As the name suggests, this juicer works through centrifugal force by spinning

at a high rate of speed. The fruits and vegetables are added through a feeding tube where

the spinning action delivers them to a grater blade for shredding. The centrifugal force then

separates the pulp from the juice.

Appropriate for: Hard and soft fruits and vegetables like cucumbers, apples, carrots, and

papayas. Not suitable for leafy greens, wheat grass, and sprouts.

stems.

MASTICATING JUICER (AUGER-TYPE OR SINGLE GEAR JUICER)

These juicers are known for their effectiveness at breaking down fibrous vegetables. Unlike

the twin gear juicer, the masticating juicer uses a single gear or auger. Theyre reasonably

priced and provide a high nutrient yield.

Operation: This juicer breaks down fruits and vegetables by using a chewing or grinding

motion, much like our teeth work when we chew food. A worm-like gear, much like a drill bit,

tears the produce while driving it through a stainless steel strainer, separating the juice from

the pulp.

Appropriate for: Virtually any fruit or vegetable, even stringy or fibrous vegetables like

grasses, herbs, and sprouts.

suited for avid juicers rather than first-time juicers.

Operation: This juicer uses cutting, grinding, and pressing to extract juices from fruits and

vegetables. Through a two-part process, the machines grinder cuts the produce into small

pieces, which are routed into a cloth bag. The bag is then placed in a press where the juices

are extracted from the produce, leaving little pulp.

Appropriate for:Virtually any fruit or vegetable, but more difficult with low-juice producing

fruits or vegetables like wheat grass and stalky greens.

CAN YOU JUICE USING A BLENDER?

Absolutely you can. In fact, its an economical way to sample the benefits of juicing if youve

never tried it before. Just start by chopping your fruits or vegetables into smaller pieces.

#MFOEUIFTNBMMFTUQJFDFTmSTUUPFOTVSFUIBUZPVSCMFOEFSDBOSFBEJMZIBOEMFUIFN5IFOZPV

can add larger pieces as you go along. If youre working with dryer produce, then add some

liquid or ice to the blender before you start blending. Work your blender at a pulsating or

slower speed until your produce is cut into smaller pieces. Then you can increase the speed

to a higher power for a couple of minutes or until the produce is thoroughly blended. Finally,

just strain the mixture through a strainer to separate the pulp from the juice, and enjoy a

refreshing drink!

SUPER FOODS TO THE RESCUE!

In an earlier chapter, I talked about super foods such as spirulina (blue-green algae), chlorella

(green algae), and green powders. If youre not familiar with super foods, let me give you

a brief description. Theyre natural foods that are so nutrient-rich that they can boost your

immune system and help you fight off diseases like cancer and heart disease. And, theyre

ancient remedies that have been used for centuries!

Thats why I use super foods and herbs to enhance my cleanses and my diet. Super foods can

make it easier for you to change your dietary habits and achieve your desired weight. Use

them if youre trying to transition from a regular diet to a more living, raw plant food diet. And

because super foods have great body cleansing qualities, theyre a beneficial supplement touse when youre going through a detox.

While I encourage you to consume super foods during your cleanse, this is not required for

you to achieve the results you desire. Youre still going to experience remarkable results,

FWFOJGZPVDIPPTFOPUUPUBLFUIFN#VUTVQFSGPPETVQQMFNFOUTXJMMIFMQUPTQFFEVQUIF

cleansing process.

Did I whet your appetite for super foods? If I did, fantastic! Here are some super foods and

supplements that I recommend you try to boost your cleanse. If you have other products at

home, or if you want to try different brands, by all means, do so! Just make sure that theyre

organically produced.

PRODUCTS I USE AND RECOMMEND: SUPER FOODS

SPIRULINA

Spirulina is a blue-green algae that has served as a food source for centuries. Its considered a

complete food because it contains so many of the nutrients your body needs to stay healthy

vitamins, minerals, protein, essential fatty acids, and carotenoids. Various studies have shown

that spirulina can improve immune system and cardiovascular function, lower cholesterol and

high blood pressure, and improve digestive health. And, its an effective supplement when

you need to detox your body from the causes of stress.

Add spirulina to your green drinks to boost their nutritional value.

CHLORELLA

When you hear the word spirulina, you usually hear the word chlorella in the same breath.

Thats because theyre both forms of algae (chlorella is a green algae) with very similar nutri-UJPOBM QSPQFSUJFT $IMPSFMMB XPSLT BT BO BOUJPYJEBOU QSPWJEJOH ZPVS CPEZ XJUI BO BEEFE

defense against free radicals. Its also high in chlorophyll, which makes it extremely effective

as a detoxifying agent. And, like spirulina, it can help strengthen your immune system and

promote healthy digestion.

combination.

COCONUT WATER

You may not have heard a lot about coconut water, but its an extremely common beverage in

USPQJDBMBSFBTUIBUQSPEVDFDPDPOVUTMJLF#SB[JM"TJBBOE-BUJO"NFSJDB.PSFSFDFOUMZUIF64

water is loaded with vitamins, electrolytes, and minerals. As an added benefit, its a natural,

isotonic beverage, which contains the same level of electrolytes as our blood. Thats why its

used by many athletes to rehydrate the body.

$POTVNJOHDPDPOVUXBUFSJTBHSFBUXBZUPEFUPYJGZUIFCPEZPGIBSNGVMDFMMEBNBHJOHUPYJOT

Plus, like other super foods, it helps to strength the immune system, balance the pH levels in the

body, support weight reduction, and facilitate the delivery of vital nutrients to the bodys cells.

Add this natural thirst quencher to your detox schedule for a refreshing, healthy change. It has

a delicious flavor, is low in carbohydrates, and is virtually fat-free.

GREEN POWDERS

Green powders are super foods that are therapeutic and healing to the body. Many of the

green powders on the market today are specially blended formulas that contain algaes, like

KVJDFT BOEQPXFSGVMBOUJPYJEBOUTFO[ZNFTBOEQIZUPOVUSJFOUT0UIFSHSFFOQPXEFSTDBO

contain a single, powerful super food like barley grass powder.

Green powders are wonderful products to use when youre doing a body cleanse because

they contain natural detoxifying agents that can help to clean your entire system of toxins,

heavy metals, and pesticides if used regularly. Plus, the probiotics in these formulas can keep

your gut populated with friendly bacteria, which, in turn, will strengthen your digestive system

and immune system.

There are a tremendous variety of organic, high quality green powders available today, so shop

around and find one that you like. One of my favorites is Vitamineral Green by HealthforceNutritionals.

THE GREEN DRINK FORMULA

The Basic Green Drinkis made up of 50% juice from sprouts, baby greens, or edible weeds

(e.g., dandelion, purslane, sorrel, and arugula), and 50% juice from green vegetables (e.g.,kale, collard, cucumber, spinach, celery, dark green lettuces, and cabbage).

A word on sprouts: Theyre considered the most balanced of all of the sources of essential

amino acids, and theyre a perfect source of complete protein. They activate every cell in the

immune system, and they build the skeletal, muscular, and neurological systems.

You can also add super foods such as spirulina (blue-green algae), chlorella (green algae), or a

good quality green powder to your green drink, if you wish. Also consider adding herbs such

as fresh parsley, cilantro, basil, dill, or mint, or natural medicines such as garlic or ginger.

USE IN MODERATION: Juices of carrot, beet, and other sweet vegetables should be used in

moderation, particularly if youre diabetic, because they contain a higher sugar content than

other vegetables.

A DAYS ALLOWANCE OF GREEN DRINK: Enjoy three to four or more of 8- to 16-ounce

glasses of green drink per day on an empty stomach as a breakfast juice, as a mid-morning or

afternoon snack, as a dinner meal, or as an evening snack.

Now that you have some basic information about juice fasting, the equipment and products

that are available to enhance your juice fasting experience, and some fabulous recipes, its

time to give you some tips to ensure that youre successful on your journey to good healthand wellness.

A SIX-STEP GUIDE TO SUCCESS!

Heres a six-step guide to not only enhance your cleansing experience but also to promote an

overall healthier lifestyle.

STEP 1: THINK HEALTHY . . . EAT HEALTHY

$IPPTFUIFSJHIUEJFUUPBDDPNQBOZZPVSPOFEBZPSNPSFDMFBOTFJGKVJDFGBTUJOHJTOUQBSUPG

your cleanse. The right diet includes organic fruits and vegetables, herbal teas, and at least 7

to 10 (8-ounce) glasses of purified water every day.

STEP 2: KEEP YOURSELF ON TRACK

feine, sugar, dairy, wheat, animal meat, fish, and eggs from your diet. This preparation diet

often consists mainly of organic fruits and vegetables. Also, while youre juice fasting, avoid

consuming refined sugar, caffeine, preservatives, artificial colors and flavors, refined carbohy-

drates and oils, or processed meat products. And, try to stay away from drinking alcohol.

STEP 3: STICK TO THE DIRECTIONS

Follow your cleanse recipe or the directions that accompany your store-bought cleanse for

maximum effectiveness.

STEP 4: KEEP IT MOVING!

Keep your bowels moving. This is necessary not only for your personal comfort but for the

timely release of toxins. (You can help encourage your digestive tract to cooperate by giving

yourself an enema or by scheduling an appointment to get a colonic.)

STEP 5: CREATE YOUR OWN CLEANSING ROUTINEUse other methods that go hand in hand with detoxing, such as skin brushing (also known

as dry brushing) or spending time outdoors to let your skin breathe. They will enhance your

experience.

STEP 6: EASE ON BACK SLOWLY

Gradually return to normal eating habits. Its unwise to break a juice fast too quickly or binge

on unhealthy foods and alcohol right after your cleanse because your system will be especially

sensitive at that time. In fact, making a smooth transition from juice fasting to eating is so

important that Ive devoted a complete chapter on the topic. Just read How to Eat After a

Juice Fast for important tips on making a seamless transition back to eating.

YOUR JUICE AND WATER INTAKE DURING A JUICE FAST

Here are some general guidelines on the amount of juice and water to take while youre juice

fasting:

Juice: %SJOLCFUXFFOBOEPVODFTCFUXFFOUPHMBTTFTPGKVJDFQFSEBZEVSJOHUIF

juice fast. Dont guzzle, but sip the juice throughout the day. Typical fruits and vegetables

used for juicing include celery, carrots, kale, cabbage, apple, cucumber, sprouts, spinach,

ginger, and greens.

Water: Drink approximately six glasses of tepid or warm filtered water a day, in addition to

the juice.

Take a good probiotic support, as well, to maintain a healthy colon by populating the intes-

tines with beneficial bacteria.

PROMOTING SELF-CARE DURING YOUR CLEANSE

I have a passion for living, but living a healthy lifestyle that honors the needs of my body, mind,

and soul. Its also called self-love and it encompasses self-responsibility and self-care.

On a physical level, self-care involves creating a wellness regimen that balances all of the

needs of the body. It involves exercising the body, giving it plenty of rest, hydrating it, feeding

it foods that are rich in vital nutrients, and cleansing and revitalizing it.

So why not join me and create a wellness plan for your body? When you do, youll want to

consider some of these important nutritional suggestions:

t $IPPTFPSHBOJDQSPEVDFBTNVDIBTQPTTJCMFBOEESJOLUIFKVJDFTGSPNUIFTFGSVJUT

and vegetables immediately after extracting thembut be sure to drink them slowly.

Use whatever greens and produce you have in your garden or whatever is in season.

When juicing greens, balance them with pleasant, sweet tasting vegetables or fruits

such as celery, kale, apple, cucumber, and ginger.

deep-cleansing soak will help to draw toxins out of the body. Plus, its a great way to

relax and increase blood flow to tired, achy joints and muscles.

t Exfoliate your skin while you bathe. Take a steamy bath and exfoliate your body with

a loofah and some natural clay. The loofah sponge is organic, inexpensive, and an

effective way to remove dead skin cells while enhancing circulation. Adding natural

clays to your loofah treatments will help cleanse your skin pores and refresh your skin.

t Use enemas to cleanse the colon. An enema can help remove waste and toxic matter

from the colon. Perform an enema only occasionallyonce a weeksuch as on the

day after you consume liquid nourishment. Follow this with a juice implant in order to

keep your system clean and moving.

standing. After a juice fast, you might be tempted to celebrate and splurge on a big meal, but

please resist the urge! Whether youve juice fasted for one day or seven days, take as long toreintroduce solid foods to your diet as you spent on your juice fast.

Slowly start introducing nutritious foods, like whole fresh fruits and vegetables, in small por-

tions, back into your diet. You may be surprised that your stomach will no longer accept the

portion sizes that you ate in the past, because your stomach will have shrunk.

Also, try not to go back to your bad eating habits. In other words, dont rush out and order

that large pizza and a coke. Now Im not saying that you can never eat these foods again,

because you canjust not as a staple food in your diet.

The goal here is to adopt a new way of eatinga way that involves consuming both delicious

and nutritious foods, which support the health of your body. A friend who made this change

said to me, I will never go back to my old ways of eating. Why would I ever want to feel like

that again? I heartily echo that sentiment.

HOW TO EAT AFTER

A JUICE FAST


44/56


CHANGE YOUR DIETCHANGE YOUR HEALTHCHANGE YOUR LIFE

After you get that first juice fast out of the way, it will be important to watch what you eat

and how you eat. Actually, its a matter of maintaining the chemical balance in your body.

going to sprout algae or unleash a volcano of sulfuric acid if youre unbalanced, but your body

does need to maintain that equilibrium in order to stay fresh, clear, and disease free.

So, lets talk about chemical balance and what that means. Its called pH. Without an in-depth

lesson in chemistry basics, suffice it to say that pH measures the concentration of hydrogen

ions in your blood. The lower your pH, the stronger the acid content, or acidity, of your body.

The higher your pH, the stronger the alkaline content, or alkalinity, of your body. A normal pH

balance hovers around seven. So, testing your pH will give you a better idea whether your

body is more acidic or alkaline. Just know that being too acidic or too alkaline is bad for yourbody and can lead to a wealth of health issues and problems.

80% alkaline forming foods like vegetables, and 20% acid forming foods like meats and white

pasta. You can also look at it this way: 80% of your food should be in raw form, while 20% of

it should be cooked.

Try to eat foods rich in vitamins and minerals such as vegetables, fruits, and tubers such as

ginger root, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and so forth. Add to that baby greens and sprouts. This

group also includes but is not limited to mung beans, alfalfa, lentils, radishes, and onions. Add

plenty of salad greens to your diet, including spinach, collard greens, mustard greens, bok

choy, and lettuces.

When choosing alkaline snack foods, go for those that contain protein, vitamins, and minerals

such as almonds, seed mixes, as well as raw vegetable juices, and raw veggies.

Q AND A FOR JUICING

Q: Whats the difference between juicing and drinking blended juices?

A: Thats a great question. Juicing and blending are different cleansing approaches, both

of which use the juices of raw fruits and vegetables.

When youjuiceZPVSFFYUSBDUJOHUIFKVJDFTGSPNUIFQVMQPSmCFSPGUIFQSPEVDFBOE

when you eliminate that pulpy matter, youre getting more of the nutrients from the pro-

duce. Juicing is an immediate way to infuse the body with energy, and it strengthens the

immune system so your body can fight off colds and infections. Juicing works synergisti-

cally and holistically with the body to promote wellness.

When you blend, youre not separating the juice from the pulp but are blending the

whole fruit or vegetable to make a drink. An example of a blended drink would be asmoothie, or even a cold soup, which uses blended vegetables like broccoli or zucchini.

have added powders and sugars that are not as healthy for you.


47/56


Q: How am I going to physically feel while Im on the juice fast?

A: Im glad you asked that question because everyone experiences body cleansing inslightly different ways.

First of all, be aware that since youre increasing your intake of liquids in order to release

the toxins stored in your body, youre going to increase your trips to the bathroom.

Thats natural and just means that your body is cleansing itself of unwanted debris.

Some people feel a surge of energy like theyve never felt before while others experi-

ence fatigue and general achiness. The achiness you feel may be due to the elimination

of fatty tissue in that area of the body. Dont worry. These symptoms usually subside

after a few days if you experience them at all. If youre on a longer fast, you may actually

experience reduced levels of joint or muscle pain if you suffer from these types of pain.

Also consider whether youre trying to wean yourself off of caffeine or sugar through

your body cleanse. If so, you may experience headaches or other discomforts, which

are signs of withdrawal from these addictive substances. Just remember that once these

chemicals are out of your system, youre going to feel a whole lot better.

Q: Can I exercise during my body cleanse?

A: *GZPV GFFM MJLFFYFSDJTJOHUIFSFTOPSFBTPOXIZ ZPV TIPVMEOUEVSJOHBDMFBOTF#VU

remember that juice fasting is the time youre allowing your body to rest, cleanse, and

heal itself, so dont engage in intense or physically draining workouts during this time.

And, on the days youre feeling more fatigued, try less demanding forms of exercise like

walking, stretching, deep breathing, or yoga.

Q: I hate to waste the pulp when I juice. Is there anything I can do with it?

A: Theres plenty you can do with it because nothing ever goes to waste when you juice.

Here are a few suggestions for the use of the leftover pulp:

t $SFBUFIFBMUIJFSCBLFEHPPETCZBEEJOHUIFNUPCSFBETPSNVGmOT

t Add vegetable pulp to lasagnas or casseroles.

t Add fruit pulp to your daily yogurt or make a smoothie.

t Use vegetable pulp in salads.

t Use the leftover pulp to compost your garden. Your plants will thank you.

t Make a sherbet or a frozen dessert with your fruit pulp.


48/56


Q: Are there times when I should not juice fast?

A: Every individuals body is unique, and you know your body better than anyone else.If youre not certain whether juice fasting is right for you, consult with your doctor or

naturopath. This is particularly true in the following situations:

t Youre pregnant or nursing.

t Youre scheduled for surgery or recovering from surgery.

t You suffer from anemia or malnutrition.

t You are a young child.

Q: I love my juice drink recipes, but is there a way to make them sweeter yet still

healthy?

A: Here are a couple of suggestions. You can modify your recipes by adding sweeter tast-ing vegetables like carrots or beets, or by adding more fruits like apples. Just remember

that sweeter produce will also increase the sugar content of your juices.

Another option is to add the sugar supplement Stevia to your juice drinks. Stevia is

an all-natural herbal supplement that has been used for centuries by native tribes in

Paraguay. It has zero calories, a low glycemic index, and is stable at high temperatures

so you can bake with it.

Q: Organic produce is very expensive. Are there less expensive ways to get them?

A: Even though organic produce is more expensive than its non-organic counterpart, youdbe surprised at the number of ways you can get them at lower prices. Here are a few

suggestions:

t $IFDLPVUMPDBMGBSNTGBSNFSTNBSLFUTPSZPVSMPDBMGPPEDPPQ.BOZMPDBMGBSN-

ers grow organic fruits and vegetables at less expensive prices than youd find at a

regular grocery store.

t Grow your own organic garden. Theres nothing tastier than eating produce fresh off

the vine!

something thats harder to get.

Q: A friend of mine recently completed a juice feast. Can you tell me the difference

between a juice fast and a juice feast?

A: Juice fasting and juice feasting are both approaches to internal cleansing through theconsumption of juices. The main difference between the two is in the volume of juice

which is consumed and the length of time on the cleanse.

As the name implies, juice feasting literally involves feasting on an abundance of juices.

On a typical juice feast, youre consuming about one gallon of juices a day for up to 92

days. Its considered a deep-cleansing program whose aim, in part, is to rebuild and

alkalize the body.

+VJDFGBTUTBMTPDMFBOTFSFCVJMEBOEBMLBMJ[FUIFCPEZCVUZPVUZQJDBMMZDPOTVNFMFTT

juice per day. If you look at my sample green juice fast menu plan, youll get a better

idea of the amount of juices which are consumed on a typical juice fast.

Q: Is there something I can add to my green drinks to really create a uniquely differ-

ent but healthy beverage?

A: Absolutely. Try adding any of the following ingredients to liven up your green drink:

t Herbal teas

t Nut milks

t Fermented beverages like Kombucha

t Frozen fruit

t Pure cacao powder

t Spices like turmeric or cayenne pepper

t Green powders

Now that youve heard all Ive had to say about my wellness regimen, which includes juice

fasting and hearty servings of fruits and vegetables in my diet, its your turn. Will you take the

challenge and commit to a healthier lifestyle?

IF YOU DONT ACT TO CHANGE YOUR BAD EATING HABITS, WHO WILL?Remember

that YOU are the creator of your own destiny, and no one else! YOU are in charge of what

you eat! You are in charge of the bodythe lifeyouve been given. If you put off healthy

eating, its going to catch up to you sooner or later. If you dont take care of your body now,

its not going to take care of you later. So, if youre tired of dealing with constipation, diarrhea,

headaches, fatigue, indigestion, or heartburn on a regular basis, do something about it now.

Take control of your life. Take charge of your health. Enjoy the body youve always dreamed

achieve your health goals, but you need to put some effort into it, and show determination

and commitment. YOU need to have old fashioned stick-to-it-iveness. If you do, know that

you can conquer your cravings, restore your energy levels, and live a healthful life.

I want to help you on your journey toward good health and wellness. So, if you have com-

ments or suggestions after youve read this book, tried the juice fasting plan, or changed

likely someone who has never juice fasted. I simply ask that you give it a try. Juice fasting is an

historical and richly documented process. Unless youve gotten a clear medical reason NOT

to juice fast, its definitely worth trying.

health and wellness as it has been for me.
