Right, then...
It's a new year, so it's time for new things. I've been toying with doing a juice fast since getting into a conversation about it in another forum.
I know that a few folks on the board have done this before (ThomDavid, TMo and I think Bare Lee) and always welcome their input. Has anyone else done this? Thoughts? I have a couple of primary questions:
1) Right now, all I have is a blender. Being that I'm not sure if I'm going to do this for more than one day, I'm leery of buying specialized equipment (e.g. a "juicer" or a NutriBullet) - can I just use the blender? Or does a juicer/Nutribullet do something special that really makes a difference? Is there anything currently bottled that I could use that will emulate the same effect? or is all the pre-packaged stuff so loaded with garbage to make it taste good that I might as well eat waffles, instead?
2) While fasting, did anyone attempt their normal exercise (running, weights, whatever) routine? Or did you shut that down until you got back to solid foods again?
Thankx.
