Alternating Juice and Water Fasts
January 10, 2008 | | 5,288 Views
The more skilled I became at fasting, the more I changed between juice and water fasting. I found the cleansing to be deep and during the water there was no hunger. I only craved juice.
Alternate between water and juice fasting is great when you need the energy to work or get things done. So when I was working I juiced, then water fasted for the weekend and just laid around in bed and read or relaxed. The most energy I out out was a relaxing walk.
By cleansing with juice first, water fasting is more comfortable. Water fasting should always include two of three days of juice fasting before and after the water fast. This alternating between juice and water fasting is the most effective method of achieving a full cleansing through fasting.
It is possible to start a seven-day water fast with a thirty-day juice fast. I accomplished this twice and experienced an indescribable peak that lasted for three days by drinking fresh-made juice after the water fast. Definably the most incredible fasting experiences of my life. After 7 days of water fasting the juice hit my blood like drug. In seconds, my body flooded with energy and I jumped on the bicycle and hit the hills with ease. There was no fatigue just the energy that kept coming with this clean, connected to everything, oneness better than any drug high.

- Tom Coghill: Hi Sourgrapes Sarah, the tiredness usually last through the first part of the fast. The body wants to slow down so it can cleanse. The fast can create massive energy peaks on juice fasting and even on water fasting after a few weeks.

- algimble: Dear Tom, I am on day 5 of an 18 day water fast. I am taking daily enema’s and weekly hydrocolonics. Should I end the water fast with some sort of herbal colon cleanse, to really clear out the large intestines? Also, do you have any info or advice on oral enemas?

- carinaTG: Hi Tom,DAY 2- I got a juicer today! started with the cantaloupe mix! A couple more questions for you… I haven’t had a BM in a couple days and ( normally I am pretty regular) I thought the fruit juices would cause more frequent BM, what’s the norm while fasting with...
- carinaTG: Thank you Tom for such a quick response. I did get a few bottles of Odwalla juices. I got through the day pretty good, but opted for some vegetable broth this evening and a cup of yogurt. Your site is wonderful and I look forward to reading through the many articles and journals people...
- Tom Coghill: Hi Carina, You need a juicer to get the amazing results that you read about on this site. Anything bottled or canned will not work the same as fresh from a juicer. Even a cheap juicer will work. Yes you can use the store bought stuff to start. Any natural juice would be good. Apple...

- Tom Coghill: Hi rmcalister Weightloss can slow down as the fast progresses. There is weightloss from catabolsim but the amount can be small. Some fasters have reported that cyanne pepper increases weightloss. There is a post on the site about it and a site seach will pull it up. Not sure about...
