Juice DeTox: Day 6 – 7
by Steve O Hernandez on Feb.06, 2012, under Health and Fitness, Juice Detox
Feelings and Thoughts
This post encompasses Saturday and Sunday. So Friday night I ended up completely killing the fast as I ended up at a bar with my friends. So, I decided on Saturday that because of that, and in light of the headache I had that would not go away, that I would begin breaking the fast Saturday.
Yes, it was a lack of discipline on my part, but alas, 5 day fast is still pretty good for my first time, and I plan on taking about 5 to 7 days to fully break the fast, correctly and completely. I’ll outline the plan below under diet.
Resources and Tips
Tip of the day:
If you’re a casual drinker (like me) and have your regular group of friends, outtings, drinking nights, etc. you need to plan with that in consideration. I swore up and down that I wasn’t going to hang out, but alas, that’s just one bad habit I couldn’t break.
Goals
- DeTox: I feel lighter, happier and calmer.
- Lose body fat (a plus but not required): I still look pretty lean, but I can tell the bloating is already starting to come back as my body tries to digest solid food again.
- Start the new year more disciplined: A win and a loss here.
- Get over this constant fatigue: Still working on this.
- Learn good habits: I should have put learn good habits and STOP bad habits.
- Sleep 8.5 hours: Some nights yes, some nights no. But I’m averaging the 8 hours.
Here’s a picture of the salad my family is eating today and this week! I’m really happy the healthy habits are contagious (even if I have to make their salads for them to eat it).
Supplementation
Supplementation is continuing for the next month to allow my thyroid, adrenal glands, liver and kidneys to recover.

Exercise
I worked out Saturday evening and it was amazing. I worked out with the same intensity that I would before on large doses of caffeine and pre-workout supplementation.
