Sachita,
I've found that its actually easier to go "cold turkey"...I'm doing the 5 5 5
until 4/21/12 60 days of no grain, nuts, or seeds, just incredible nutrition,
phytonutrients, and beautiful forest green juices...smiling
Sounds like your already juicing, and doing well...I had already quit the coffee several months ago so no headache, but other beneficial changes...
at times the craving to have something chewier then juice came, but I'd only
be cheating myself so I stuck with it, and will continue.
How terrific that you can grow your own greens! Welcome to Veggie/Vegan world.
Several other veggie lovers here also grow their greens, and other plants.
Drinking lots of H2O I've found is a must to feel full, and more comfortable.
continued success, Greco

I mentioned in another thread that I juiced live, just picked greens I grew. Within days there is a notable difference in my skin. I drink about 20-26 oz of juice a day. I have not done a juice fast. Just recently I stopped coffee and that was huge for me. It's day 5, lost count, and I'm still getting headaches but I also stopped diary and meat. I decided to just go cold turkey with it all. My body is going through changes and sometimes its uncomfortable but I also feel it restoring. I'm having a huge cravings. My roommate sets the coffee pot to auto brew at 6:30am and I can smell it in the morning. I did not take everything out of the house and amazingly I have been cooking up food I had, I;m not longer eating and preparing it for my roommate. I honestly can't believe my will power. I have not cheated.
I might do a juice fast once I ramp up the garden. I start the seeds soon and by march I have cold hardy greens growing. I can't wait! I may try and get a buddy to fast with me and go for a full 10 days.
