Day 1 - Afternoon



Juice #2
1x Granny Smith Apple
1x Carrot
3x broccoli
2x Celery
1x Cos (lettuce stuff)
3x Spinach

After the first (very fruity) juice, I decided to try a juice with a vegetable based, it was tastier then the first juice (which was unexpected). Who knew vegetables could be so tasty?! 

So far I feel fine, my stomach was feeling a little odd earlier (I don’t really know how to describe it, but I’ll try), it was as if I was feeling hungry and full at the same time, it was very weird, but only lasted for a little while. I had a brief moment (while looking at a muffin on Instagram) where I really wanted a muffin, but quickly realized that I don’t normally have muffins anyway (so I would be feeling the same want, whether I was on the juice fast or not). It could just be a placebo effect, but I’ve been feeling much more energetic this morning then I usually do (I know increased energy is a side effect of the juice, but am not sure if the energy is meant to kick in on the first day – I figured it was something I would be getting on day 3-4). To be honest, I thought I would be feeling moody and low on energy by now, I suspected I would be taking an afternoon nap – there is currently no chance of that!

Headache started at 4pm (which I expected) however after a small amount of water it was gone (which I didn't expect). Did have a slightly moody afternoon (but nothing compared to what I expected). The biggest challenge of the day (apart from cleaning the juicer) was when other were eating around me, I wasn't hungry, but I did want to be eating too.
