How To Fast Using
Short Interval Juice Fasting

Before using this how to fast guide, it is helpful to first take the time to review the Benefits, Safety, and Healthy Eating sections. Once you have read all of the previous pages, you will have a better understanding of how to fast safely using Short Interval Juice Fasting.

This juice fasting guide will help you to prepare a simple easy to achieve juicing interval. While beginning fasting you can adjust and increase your intervals as you feel comfortable. It is also a great way to start off by first eliminating unhealthy snacking habits to cleanse the body in between meals. A small notebook, (or laptop, palm pilot) is helpful, so that you can take it along with you when necessary.

In your notebook, you can write your name, today's date, and a short phrase of any personal reasons you hope to achieve.

Try to begin a fasting in the morning, or allow at least 3 hours after a meal before beginning a cleansing fast. This will give the body time for complete digestion before you begin your interval.

Here is a Day 1 log to use as a guide when first beginning. As you can see the Target Fasting Goal is easily attainable at only 3 hours which is better than trying to immediately try to juice fast for many days. The key here is to make your goals attainable and not overwhelming. Build upon each interval while learning how to maintain proper nutrition, protein, fiber, etc.. and then you can progress into longer fast. This will allow you to rid from the body what it does not need, while at the same time, giving the body exactly what it does need.

The Eating After!

It is important to know how to fast, and it is just as important to know how to reintroduce the right foods. What will you eat and drink after your cleansing fast has ended? Try to have a balanced meal planned out, and if not try to eat small portions depending on your personal intake needs. Try to drink cold pure healthy water with meals rather than juice, coffee, or beverages with sugar or sugar substitutes. You should notice an active digestive system (slight intestinal growling). This is normal. Try to maintain healthy balanced meals with low volume intake every 3-5 hours. more...

How to Fast On The Go!

You may need to bring bottled water, tea, and juice with you.

Also consider if you will need some way of keeping them cool.

You can purchase travel bottles of spring water in bulk from your local grocery or you can order the purest waters from our online store.

Always keep plastic bottles cool. Some bottles can emit toxins into the water when they get hot.

It is also a good idea to keep some quick energy foods available, especially if you have hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), or diabetes.

Getting Started Fasting!

Start off by drinking water as needed, and plan on drinking 1-3 ounces of 100% organic fruit juice each hour. Once you get a better feel for how to fast safely, and how your body will react depending on what activities you are doing you can adjust your juice intake accordingly. If you decide to combine fasting and exercise (stretching, cardio, resistance, or low impact), you can increase your juice intake as necessary.

Plan Your Own Fasting Interval!

By now you should have a basic understanding of how to fast. Please take the time to plan your own fasting interval.

START DATE: Today's date?

FASTING GOALS: What are your specific reasons for fasting? It is helpful to write your fasting goals each time, so you have a reminder to keep yourself in the right frame of mind.

TARGET FASTING GOAL: What is your intended fasting interval goal?

TYPE OF FASTING: What will you be drinking and how much? Also make note here if you will be taking vitamins, colon cleansers, etc.

START TIME: Enter the time here as your fasting begins. Try to choose a relaxation time, or stress free time, or upon waking in the morning. If possible, choose a time that you can dedicate specifically to relax and take care of yourself. Avoid fasting in stressful or highly physical times.

END TIME: The time once you re-introduce solid foods again.

TOTAL TIME: Total time fasted from start to end.

NOTES: You should try to keep some general notes during your fasting. It will be beneficial when you want to look back at how your fasting intervals have progressed. How do you feel during and after fasting? How is your body reacting? What is your mood, the same or does it change? Do you get weak? Did you end the fasting early and why? Were you irritable, stressed, weak, dizzy, nauseous, tempted?
