Juice Fasting | How Much To Drink?

I believe that the first time you ever do a juice fast you should go easy on yourself. By that I mean don’t limit the amount of juice you have, drink as much as you need!

Fasting on really limited amounts of juice, and drinking it only at certain times of the day,, is something you can do once you’re a more experienced faster.

When you start out I recommend you really experiment to see which fruits and vegetables you are attracted to.

Go into the grocery store and smell the oranges, look at the watermelons, the beets and the carrots. Buy the ones you feel most attracted to or resonate with you. I also want to add that you should always try to buy whatever is in season and good quality (organic if possible) produce.

For me, in the morning I’m usually attracted to orange juice, orange-pineapple juice or even a watermelon juice, because my body craves for something really sweet and hydrating. This type of juice is full of vitamin C and antioxidants, so it boosts my energy, and I am ready to go.

Then, in the afternoon, I might have a Cabala juice. I make it with carrots, apples, beet, lemons, and sometimes, I might even add some greens or things of this nature. In the evening, I like to have some green juice like celery, cucumber, parsley, spinach or some other greens that are more savoury in flavour and really nourish my body.

I know that some people find this kind of fasting challenging, but there are ways to help your body adapt quickly to getting all the nourishment it needs only from juices. For example, I’ve started experimenting with some warm veggie broth in the evenings with some of my clients who are new to fasting. I know when I have this myself it feels so nourishing and satisfies me in a different way and it feels easier to fast.

So, the whole point of a juice fast is not to stick only to juices, but to allow your body to learn how to appreciate extra nourishment. And, of course, you should do whatever you feel your body needs to make the whole experience of fasting more enjoyable. If you’re thirsty or hungry, just smash through some juice, drinking two, three, or even four litres of juice each day.

And having two to three or four litres of water as well. The more hydrated you are the better off you’ll be.
