Well, there's no hiding this little tidbit about juicing. I mean, once you make it to day three, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. And instead of me getting you all excited and gung-ho about juicing and failing to be completely honest with you, I'm gonna give you a bit of bad news!
Day three sucks!
Joe talks a little about the first few days he was juicing. He says he just really didn't want to get out of bed...didn't have much energy...and was in a pretty fowl mood. Now, I didn't experience that the first three days...but I definitely did on the third. With juicing, the first 10 days of it are referred to as a cleansing fast. You're literally flushing your body and internal organs clean of all the yuckies you've been putting into them for years. Those toxins and other yucky things have got to make an exit...and how do they do that you ask? Well...you're gonna poop! And you're gonna poop a lot! So be prepared to spend a little bit of time in the bathroom around day 3!
You're also going to be very low on energy. Day two tricks you into thinking it's going to be a piece of cake (chocolate hopefully!!). Then reality smacks you in the face on day 3 (your days may vary from mine by a day or two). All I wanted to do on Day 3 was sleep. I was tired, cranky, achy, feverish, had a headache, and my skin hurt! It was my body's way of releasing the gross things I'd done to it to that point. I thought I was dying! I thought I was seriously sick. But...the next day I woke up and I felt like a totally different person!
I had tons of energy, didn't feel feverish or achy. I was in excellent mental spirits and just couldn't wait to keep going with my juicing!
Since then I've mostly had a ton of energy. Some days here and there I've felt tired, but I think that had more to do with lack of sleep the night before than anything else. I'm not nodding off at work during the middle of the day anymore. I'm able to focus better and I've noticed my attitude has been much more playful and upbeat. If these are side effects of juicing, then I'm all in!!!
