Dealing with Hunger on a Juice Feast

Well, this is only my first real day - that being a day with ONLY juice and no solid food.  I'm hungry for sure right now, but I'm drinking decaffeinated peppermint tea before I make more juice.

On this "fast", or "juice feast", you can drink as much juice as you need to feel full.  However, its liquidated food so its going to naturally go through your digestive system rather quickly and that familiar full feeling you get with solid food won't be there.  So there is going to be that brain-fed reaction to not having a full belly.  This is supposed to pass after about 3 days.  In the meantime, you can drink water, and teas to stay happy until the initial cleansing is over.

I've had only about 24 oz. of juice so far today, but I plan on making at least that quantity a couple more times, the next batch in about an hour and then another one for dinner.

Back in a few days . . .
