Another day down
Well starting the juice/liquid fast off has not been too hard so far. I have had some nice berry/grape breakfast juices and spinach/carrot/berry/grape blends for my other meals with some carrot juice soup. As of this morning I am down 6.2 pounds after two days on my new fast. The weight I gained while on vacation seems to be evaporating. (Click continue reading for more…)

Breaking the fast and my stomach!
Well the last two days have been great as far as getting to chew food consistently once again. I never really knew how bad I missed it till I was able to masticate once again. I find it hard to believe that I have stil manage to lose a little over 1lb in these two days where I have reverted to solid food. I weighed in at 313.8 this morning, and I was 315 when my fast ended. To say that I am happy to still see the scale moving down would be an understatement. It is giving me confidence going into my vacation that I can maintain and maybe even add to my total weight loss. I am 39lbs down and getting ever so close to being out of the 300s once again (this time for good.) (Click Continue Reading for more)

The final days of the first leg of my trip, days 33, 34 and 35!
Well yesterday was day 35 and that is it for this liquid/juice fast. The last three days were a blur, but the good news is that in 35 days I lost 38.2 pounds. I will take a little over a pound a day anytime! This fast had definitely had it’s ups and downs, but overall I became used to it and it became a part of my life. I would like to thank Joe Cross and his movie “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” for giving me the idea and his website forums for helping me through this process. Though it was my willpower, it was most assuredly their words of encouragement that helped me through this. I also want to thank Joe Rogan and Bert Kreischer for all the great podcasts and comedy that helped push me over the edge to want to make a change. Joe’s kale shakes were what got me on the road to thinking about meal replacements, and Bert just did his own liquid cleanse and has talked about healthy choices on the podcast many times.

Days 24 and 25 – Onward and Downward
Well it has been a couple of days, but I have still been plodding along through my liquid/juice fast. The last couple of days I have pretty much been spot on. I am happy to report that on both Thursday and Friday I did a 9.5 mile ride at about 12MPH! That is pretty good, and on Friday I did a separate weight training workout in the gym with my trainer. I am feeling great and the weight is still dropping off. Today is Saturday (morning) as I write this and I weighed in this morning and have dropped down to 319.6 which is 32.2 pounds down total in a touch over 25 days! (Click continue reading for more)

Day 23 – Nice Dinner No Cheat!
As of the morning of my day 24 I am down another 1.6 pounds putting my total weight loss so far at 29.2 pounds! Every time the scale drops I get a little more excited as I edge closer to my goals. It has definitely been a great experience doing this experiment with my diet. Consuming liquids for 23 days has taught me that I can keep myself from overeating and control my cravings. Controlling my cravings, in of itself, is a great lesson. (click continue reading for more)
