Hi guys,

I made it through 6 days of strictly juice (down 18 pds.) but My energy level was so bad it was difficult to function at work. Now I have added whole foods back into My diet, but sticking to the program and My energy level is back. I don't regret the fast, I think it has "cleansed My pallet" if you will and made it easier to stick with a whole foods plant based diet.

The weight loss has slowed substantially, but I guess that's to be expected.

I am guessing the fasting slowed My metabolism and now there will be an "adjustment" period. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I also want to thank everyone for being so supportive!
