Fat Sick and Nearly Dead: Juice On...

Hi everyone!

It's been a long time since I have blogged.  Well I thought I'd start off by wishing everyone a Happy Passover and a Wonderful Easter.

I decided to start blogging again because I'm starting a new juice fast.  I am going to try to use this blog as my daily diary so that I can hold myself accountable for my own success.

Don't know if you have ever tried a juice fast, but it is not as easy as you may think.  I am truly inspired by Joe Cross, filmmaker www.fatsickandnearlydead.com .  If you get a chance you should watch the film.  You will be amazed.

Juice for breakfast this morning:

Yields 16-20 oz juice

1/4 Pineapple
1 Granny Smith Apple
2 Kiwi Fruit
1 Orange
12 Strawberries (Hulled)
1/2 Fennel Bulb
1 Large handful of Wheatgrass

Mid-Day Snack:

2 Apples
2 Pears
1/2 Fennel Bulb

Lunch
OK, so I cheated... Last night Tina and I had Indian food for dinner, so I had some left over Saag Paneer and Chicken Korma with Basmati Rice.

Dinner

6-8 Kale leaves
1 Large Handful Spinach
1 Granny Smith Apple
1 lemon
1 piece ginger

In addition, I will try my best to drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water throughout the day.

Well that's all for now.  Wish me luck.  Juice on.

Best,
Amy
