Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 One Day Juice Fast Vegetarian Times [previously posted to SoFlaVegans list] http://www.vegetariantimes.com/magazine/nov01/remedies.asp While fasting more than a day or two is controversial, most experts agree that living on juice for a day isn't likely to hurt-and may help. " Fasting for a day can give you a psychological and perhaps even physiological signal that it's time to eat in a different, healthier way, " says Kathie Swift, R.D., nutrition director at Canyon Ranch Fitness Resort in the Berkshires. You can shore up a juice fast, she says, by adding protein powder and oils that contain protective omega 3 and omega 6 oils, nutrients that help ensure your body gets what it needs. The following recipes are from Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, Mass. Alison Shore Gaines, director of its fasting program, recommends using a hydraulic or masticater juicer (one that doesn't spin around) that extracts the pulp. If possible, use well-scrubbed organic ingredients. If you're not using organic, peel vegetables and fruit. And if you have low blood sugar, Gaines recommends adding a rounded teaspoon of spirulina to a fruit juice to balance out your blood sugar.
