Juice Fast 2013: Day 5

Last day of juicing! I broke the fast tonight with some grapes. I felt good all day. Plenty of energy. No headaches. My whole body ached, though. I was definitely dehydrated. I could feel my muscles stretching and cramping - in my back, my legs, my sides. I'm used to drinking at least 60 ounces of water a day - minimum! But yesterday I realized once I got home that I hadn't had a single ounce.

My training plan for the next few months is as follows:

Meal Plan

Breakfast
1 banana/apple
1 teaspoon of nut butter

Mid-Morning Snack
16 ounce fruit smoothie
(frozen fruit, soy milk, spinach, agave)

Lunch
Salad
(mixed greens, chickpeas, corn, black beans, 2 tablespoons salad dressing)

Afternoon Snack
1 cup of fruit

Traffic Snack
1/4 cup nuts
10 chocolate chips (vegan!)

Dinner
1/2 cup grains
1 cup steamed or roasted veggies

Evening Snack (if needed)
Edamame

Exceptions to the Rule
4 rule-free meals a month
2 vegan treats a month
A pre and/or post workout snack on long distance days from this website.
