The "program" I am on, is designed to be able to do it for up to 3 months! I don't know if I will go that long..this is the frist time I have ever fasted longer than a day or two. Look around, this is my journal of the experiance. I think I will but adding lots of yummy raw recipes after I have completed my fast, because I Do enjoy raw foods and try to encorperate them in our family's diet abundantly. I don't think we will go vegetarian. I was for 10 years...but as homesteaders now...animals are a part of what we do now...and I believe meat, grains, and raw dairy raised (and prepared) right and eaten in proper proportions is a vaulable part of a healthy diet. :-) I do hope to get into more regular soaking, souring and sprouting of grains though. I know its better, and I have played with it...but...i haven't "committed" to the methods soley just yet. :-)MommySetFreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108945088100513996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4498143237522217601.post-16411410366872170242012-01-29T08:55:26.450-08:002012-01-29T08:55:26.450-08:00I prefer my juices chilled as well...the bitternes...I prefer my juices chilled as well...the bitterness is most likely the changes taking place from the detoxing, like you mentioned. I have that happen to me with water. 8) Water will taste bad to me when I begin detoxing but it tastes so sweet by the end. <br />(This is cool to read your progress thru it.)<br />I'm interested in the remainder of your diet, are you doing 100%juice? Raw? I'll read the other posts...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4498143237522217601.post-23303371090985998532012-01-28T10:41:16.954-08:002012-01-28T10:41:16.954-08:00Dandy greens can (are) bitter when you juice or bl...Dandy greens can (are) bitter when you juice or blend them. But they are SO GOOD for you!! Can you juice it with something that is sweeter? I am not sure if you are doing fruits or not.. But if you are, it might make it taste better for you. <br /><br />Blessings to you my friend!Halo Ayniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12348610582591205823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4498143237522217601.post-92042087161064318912012-01-27T21:00:39.939-08:002012-01-27T21:00:39.939-08:00Way to go Ben!

David is cheering you on :) We cut out meat, wheat and processed sugars and he is down 10 pounds in three weeks but the best part is that he says he is thinking more clearly! Hope you all kick the cold quickly!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14184151904698565575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4498143237522217601.post-9747627948245273342012-01-27T06:44:31.987-08:002012-01-27T06:44:31.987-08:00Um, no not bitter really.

It's hard for me to stay warm during the day. You also said you did NOT taste the bitterness of the dandelion greens... so I didn't think you were referring to bitterness. My citrus tastes bitter though- but I think it's b/c my juicer squeezes some of the oil out of the rinds :/ When I add kefir it's better. Have you tried using more apples to sweeten? Even fresh they taste bitter? I love it with tomatoes, garlic and salt- kinda blends in with the bitterness. No yucky tongue here, but I was raw for over 8 months with almost no junk before this fast. Yep- detoxing out the tongue :P lucky you!! lolRawesomelyFithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04628197247252339670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4498143237522217601.post-78187451225629587962012-01-26T20:57:09.694-08:002012-01-26T20:57:09.694-08:00That is interesting. Did I understand that right?...That is interesting. Did I understand that right? YOua re experiane cold juices as bitter? I am curious besue I much prefer them chilled. I wonder if it is part of our pH or detoxing? in how we receive the juice??? I still get that thick sliming mouth...it just must be how my body expells it. ???MommySetFreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108945088100513996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4498143237522217601.post-10704976783550074792012-01-26T18:48:01.904-08:002012-01-26T18:48:01.904-08:00I wish blogs had a "like" button...

I'm experiencing the same thing with the cold juices too. I enjoy a warm master cleanse every now and then- it helps.RawesomelyFithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04628197247252339670noreply@blogger.com
