I've made it half way through the 10 days!
It is quite interesting to observe the cravings and also the lack of cravings. For instance, I haven't craved Diet Coke. I might have thought about it once or twice the first day, but until Marisa mentioned it on day 4, i hadn't even thought about it.
I did however have a craving for Egg Noodle Dinner. I loved that dish! I haven't seen it in stores in a very long time. I can't even remember the last time I had it, but my senses could almost taste it the other day. That and 7-11 nachos. I've thought about those more than once.
I have had a craving for grilled zucchini--go figure--and I can't wait to use portabello mushrooms as a meat.
Seems that everyday Marisa and I will talk about some sort of food and that gets us going. We don't go on for too long though. We do talk about what we will want when we break our fast. I want a big salad with croutons and ranch dressing, (restaurant ranch dressing--I haven't found any ranch dressing on the shelves that is as good as restaurant ranch) at least that is what I want today.
Still not sure if I will be continuing the fast after 10 days. At the very least, I do know that I will continue with juicing 2 meals a day and eating one at least until I reach my goal weight. My long term goal is to continue to have green juice on a regular basis just to get the nutrients I need from vegetables without having to eat ginormous portions.
I am looking forward to making pulp crackers, fruit leathers, and adding the pulp to meatballs and hamburgers. Heck, I might even try to make my own veggie burgers. Don't get me wrong, I love meat, but I want to have more veggies in my meals than meats because of the health benefits.
