Juicing day 2
Most of day 1 went fine till about 9pm when I was so hungry I was eyeing the cat. I drank some more juice, this seemed to just give me energy to be more hungry. I had way too much energy when trying to go to sleep last night, was tossing and turning till 4am, didn't feel sleepy. Had a mild headache.
Day 1 passed, according to the scale I dropped 2 pounds - which is probably true - you drop a lot of weight for the first few days as your colon cleans out, you drop a lot the next few as you start burning fat. That's the point I am struggling to get to - at that point I should resume feeling like a normal human.. that should be day 3 or 4.
Right now I am kind of lethargic - brain is probably running about 80%, it still is in the mood to propel me toward food... "hey, why don't we take a nice walk down to Taco Bell" but I am not hungry at the moment. I am deviating from the diet slightly by having a caffeinated beverage - the reasoning behind not drinking them seems to be dehydration and I feel like I am at no risk for that at the moment... I am at risk of falling asleep.
I feel like every bit of my body is... not tingling, just very aware of it. Not sure if that's the sleep deprivation, me trying hard to feel something, or that perhaps caffeine hits with a brass knuckle when you're juicing. Will know later I assume. I also seem to be aware of exactly how many teeth I have and how they would like to chew on something that crunches.
Things I have noted that are also listed as effects:
nasal passage cleared (could be coincidence as weather changed a bit also)
coated tongue (I hope this one goes away, it's not easy having a green tongue)
oily hair (no biggie, it was looking actually pretty good)
Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead put the juice diet at $14 a day, which is roughly $8 more than the average American american spends on food (2004 data) http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=787129. My cost for 3 days worth of juice supplies was $17 which puts my daily cost less than that... actually surprises me that cost is so low.
Thinking there may be a mixup in the data somewhere... ah well, I'm cruising along below what I think is average, unless you count the juicer as part of the thing.
So anyway, day 2 - I am ok, just a bit tired. Coffee helps, but not going to drink much of it
