Well, day 63 of juice feasting for me as I write this and life...is...amazing...
I keep marvelling at just how functional I am for someone who has not eaten for over 2 months...lol...
I am feeling great and going strong - feeling somewhat alarmed that there is less than a month left for me of this juicy journey in fact...
The last couple of weeks have seen a flurry of activity for me, including a great online radio interview with Sally Jessy Raphael, which produced waves of controversy and feedback, mostly around the all-pervasive 'where do you get your protein from' query of those un-accustomed to living raw...listen in for yourself here...

The pancreas pain I had been dealing with a few weeks back seems to have more or less completely receded with my move over to much less sweet juices - mainly greens, coconut water and watermelon juice these days...I have also moved through some bizarre cleansing symptoms in my mouth of raised bumps and green film on my tongue, plus an open lesion at the side of my mouth...
I held my first juice feasting demo in Costa Rica a few weeks back, at a beautiful yoga studio, which was great fun, passing the message on to others interested in health...plus I moved house in the middle of January too, to the other side of San Jose where I'm currently living - I am feeling delighted to be renting my own little place for the first time in my life :)
I've been working out where to get my veg and go jogging etc over here in a new neighbourhood and loving it - it feels much quieter, greener and cleaner here, with wider streets and more people walking about, rather than driving...
I was also delighted to realise recently how liberating this juicing experience is for me in the fact that
...almost
completely. That is something I do not feel I have experienced in my
life as an adult. As an obese overeater (21 stone at my biggest), my mind was more or less
nearly always ‘in the food’
– if I wasn’t actually eating, I was thinking about food and when I
would next eat and what I would have and so on…SO much of my time and brain space
and energy went into things related to food…life was lived for me
literally like a series of opportunities to eat…What I experience now is that juice feasting frees me
from that whole pattern. Now, on just juice, I feel SO liberated from all that. It’s so simple. No obsessing. This is a revelation
for me…I have unconsciously moved into a space where I
have SO much more time, energy and space in my life to use on more constructive
things than thinking about food…I am truly grateful for that…I can also
feel pretty much secure that my body is getting all that it needs, as
my intake is so nutrient dense, I feel and look vibrant and I simply don’t crave anything…wow…what a blessing…
So, onwards I go with 29 days of juicing left...CHEERS :)
all blessings,
Angela. xxx
