And… how’d it go? How do you feel? Day 1 is the hardest–if you made it through, you can definitely conquer the rest! If you felt famished, add larger servings of food. You should feel light and free, but not STARVING 
and…we’re off! Good luck everyone…wish me luck too!
Gail, you’re going to be fantastic!! Question though, don’t you start your new job on Monday? If so, be sure to bring some raw nuts, or even a few Larabars (http://www.larabar.com/) with you for extra energy on your commute. You can find them in the health food section of any grocery store or at TJ’s or Whole Foods. Good luck!

what do you mean by filtered water? from my fridge filter or water you buy??
Hey Susan! Super question. By “filtered water,” I just mean not tap water, and preferably not bottled water. A fridge filter or a Brita or Pur are great. Have fun! XOXO Jen

Kris Carr .., whose site i love.., and where i met you
), suggests running some water [ a 1/2 to 1 cup? ] through the juicer after juicing; you get lots more colored juice! it was her hubby who thought that up.
i’m a day ahead of you.
started yesterday.
so far so good..,
a few cheats: not as much rice.., added some non gluten oats when hungry;
ate fewer nuts, tho usually i eat them a lot!
had a glass of green juice leftover for today.
couldnt bring myself therefore to make so much orange carrot juice this morning.
and am adding a zuke and maybe some celery to soup, as i’m going to a women’s mostly veggie potluck tonight. maybe will also bring some kale salad.
i carry a bottle of dilute juiced juice w/ me..,; hardest part is to drink all those fluids.
my eating time of day starts so much later than yours.
oh, and i add am and pm lemon water[ 1/2 squesszed lemon to 1/2 c or more water.] to the whole brew. it’s my constant.
easy to adapt adapt. appreciate the idea, enthusiasm and support!
Excellent juicy report!
Thanks for the water-through-juicer tip. Kris & Brian also “rejuice” their pulp–something I always forget to do! LOVE the lemon water idea too. Thanks again, and keep up the fantastic work! XOXO – Jen
i save my juicer pulp sometimes., for a day or two.
today i added a cpl of tbs to the carrot soup,
often mash a cpl of tbs w/ avocado and add to salad dressings..,
did last night.
I’m on the detox boat! Quick question- I work out pretty hard, should I be adding more protein and calories to each meal so I don’t get faint while working out? If so, what do you recommend? More nuts or add tofu to salads? Thanks! Hope everyone does well
Hey Melissa B! Yes, add more caloric raw foods like raw nuts & seeds (which are great sources of protein) and avocado. Fruit can be great for quick energy, but just increase the food servings in general if you’re feeling low on calories or energy. Enjoy!! XOXO Jen
Woohoo! Finished Day 1 and I feel great! I ended up spending half of the day at the vet with a sick cat and I am very proud of myself for not veering off course. Good luck everyone!
Awesome, Kerry! Doesn’t it feel great?! I’m so proud of you! I know Day 2 will be just as fab
XOXO Jen
