Juice/Fruit Fast

I recently tried (emphasis on tried) doing a three day fruit juice fast.  This was not a new years resolution nor would I suggest it be.  The first day you feel nice and clean; almost righteous over all those carnivores you can snub your nose at.  Day two quickly begins to get old toward lunch.  By dinner it is an experiment rather than a cleansing ritual.  I came home from work late on day two and tried to go to sleep.  No sugar plum dreams; more like chasing down a wild boar naked with a knife in my mouth.  I woke from my dream and went straight to the refrigerator and slammed down a protein drink followed by a giant ham sandwich.  One day yes, 2-3 days and say hello to Mr. Poopie pants.  Not to mention the wonderful array of smells my body emitted.  Oh, did I mention that if you are a long distance runner you can forget it, because your body goes into defcon 3 if you try to run more than about 20 minutes?  On a brighter note, it did teach me the importance of a well balanced diet especially for athletic types with vivid imaginations.

Rock on.
