Day 4:

System went down at work, so I've got some time to kill. Day number 4. I woke up this morning with a sore throat, feeling extremely tired. I had read before I started that you should not start a juice fast if you have a weak immune system. I'd normally say that my immune system is anything but weak and I'm hoping that this is a mere coincidence that my health decided to fail on me 4 days into a liquid diet. One major thing that I've noticed is my lack of hunger. It's really weird. The first day, I was STARVING. I read that when your body is so used to eating the same things over and over again, it can develope both an allergy to it as well as an intense craving for it. So, essentially, your body is working against you, craving the things that it knows are bad for you. Well, on Day 2, the cravings were gone and now I almost have to remind myself to eat. It's really weird.

Okay, so, day 2 back at work and that means night-before juicing. Last night, I decided to get back into the carrots and I had started feeling sick, so I thought "Bring on the oranges!" 4 carrots, 4 oranges, 1 large cucumber, and 1 apple (for sweetness). It's good! And the scale still loves me. Here's this morning's stats:

Weight: 238.8 lbs
BFP: 34.9% (still not much change here)
Hunger: Meh. 2-3

I felt sick this morning, so, I didn't make a breakfast drink. No bueno. So far today, I've got down about 1/4 gallon of water and about 20oz of juice. I'll probably kill the remaining 15 oz before work is over.

The scale doesn't lie... 6.4 lbs lost in 4 days, but hardly any change in body fat percentage. Essentially, I'm still working through my excess water. We'll see how it turns out.
