Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 I'm on the 4th day of a 7 day juice fast, and i haven't lost an ounce! Anybody have any thoughts? I'm not fasting to lose weight, I just think it's strange that I haven't. Thanks, Bridgitte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll notice " plateaus " , along the way here you won't lose for days. rusty - " Bridgitte " <syndactylcat <rawfood > Tuesday, January 13, 2004 7:46 AM [Raw Food] juice fast > I'm on the 4th day of a 7 day juice fast, and i haven't lost an > ounce!

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 I had the same experience on my 5 day fast last month. It took a few days for it to start coming off and then I didn't lose much (few pounds) and it came right back on. I'm on day 2 of a fast. I've had minimal juice (one morning, one evening) and again, haven't lost an ounce. I hope to switch to water soon. I'm curious if it will come off any faster. I'm sure it will come right back though since it's probably wrecking my metabolism even more (causing it to slow down more than it already is). It's discouraging. In fact, come to think of it, I gained several pounds (no, no binging or over eating) after going off my last fast. Hmmm. Perhaps this only works if one eats all raw. I don't know.
