the liquid fast

No, it doesn’t mean I’m chugging my drinks quickly!  After much travel and poor diet, I will be attempting a liquid fast for a few days.  The purpose:

  • Get OUT of the recent habit of eating crap and large portions
  • Drop a couple of excess pounds

I’m compelled to include “cleanse” as an objective but most of the cleanse plans require only fresh fruits and veggies to be self-juiced.  I have neither a juicer nor a blender and I’m questioning my ability to give up caffeine.  We’ll see.

I’ve also read that fatigue can be a side effect of a liquid fast, which makes sense, but I’m hoping that my productivity won’t be reduced.  I saw that one participant in a liquid fast chose to include broths, tomato soup, and liquid yogurt which I may try.  The length of time for my endeavor is yet to be determined.
