I have two friends on a juice and salad fast this week, Organic Avenue’s<\/a> touted five-day L.O.V.E. fast<\/a>, based in New York City. You get small “meals” delivered all week. I thought their little exchange revealed a sweet, funny something about how people REALLY feel during a fast! (Names have been changed to protect the hungry.)<\/p>\n

Ok not as bad as it seemed..I’m feeling ok despite serious coffee needs this morning.<\/p>\n

Wasn’t that coconut milk delicious? I offset the sweetness by saving my cabbage salad for then and having the milk as dessert.<\/p>\n

How are you??<\/p>\n

I put the coconut milk in the blender with some ice and made more of a smoothie– yummy (and also augmented the content!). Didn’t get my salad dressing today. Am very bitter.<\/p>\n

laughing so hard tears running down face…I didn’t share with you, but they forgot my miso sauce yesterday, but I chalked it up to starting a day late…looks like it’s a real concern – I had to split the tahini extremely carefully (and then licked the container). Love the blender idea. I told a colleague of mine that I hadn’t heard from you this morning and was becoming concerned that you were enjoying a coffee with a bacon egg & cheese at your desk…but hurray, let day two\/three begin! the “elixir” makes me gag – doesn’t seem to change day to day, either…<\/p>\n

I hold my nose while I do the shot and follow by chugging a full glass of water.<\/p>\n
