Has anyone ever tried one? I've been interested in maybe getting into like a 2 week liquid fast type deal, just to see how it works and if it helps me feel better in the way of health and energy & whatnot. I'm already a huge veggie person (seriously, a large bag of baby spinach only lasts me like 3 days. XD), but according to what I've read, it can get really expensive 'cuz it takes so much of each veggie/fruit to get an adequate amount of liquid and that you have to switch up the greens (spinach, kale, endive, etc) so that you don't overload on one particular nutrient.

I don't have a juicer, but I've read lots of stuff where you can just use a blender, then strain the liquid into a glass / pitcher through a couple of paper towels or something and then save the pulp for soup bases and stuff later.

The only hard part will be avoiding alcohol -_-;;; ... Which I -have- cut back on a lot over the last ... month. Since the roomie got deployed (he's not a very good influence. heh).

Either way, I've gotta do -something-. The amount of stress that's piled up on me over the last few years has really taken its toll. Call it an excuse if you want, but it really is one of the main issues from my weight gain. And like I've said before, I'm really not a bad eater at all (and I've always been more of a snacker more than a "sit down and eat a full meal" type of person) and I almost never cook unhealthy foods at all other than the occasional pasta dish or my mom's fried chicken. There's just -something- wrong and I can't seem to pinpoint what it is. I'm kind of hoping maybe trying something like this will give my metabolism the kick in the arse it needs.. ^_^;;;

But anywho.. Thoughts?
