It's been a total of 11 days since I began my juicing journey. Today, I gave into a craving but also wanted to do an experiment on returning to food after a juicing. I like to live on the edge ;) Well lets just say, it went awry quickly into the experiment. I started my day off with three good juices and then decided to head out for lunch to the Stir Fry Cafe. I bought what I thought was a good lunch...tofu, rice noodles, broccoli, red peppers, mushrooms....man oh man did my stomach regret it as did I in the end. It wasn't all that tasty. I automatically noticed that it had oyster sauce or juice in it and it was deemed "vegetarian". It was amazing the amount of things I could taste and it was just way too "oily". I ended up feeling like I had a bowling ball in my stomach. It felt very expanded and full with an oily feeling to it. I kept burping and had stomach cramps. I just wanted to heave it into the toilet and get it out of my system. I felt groggy, foggy and other oggies throughout the rest of the night at work. Drunken Noodles...and boy did I feel drunk. Its 11:20 pm and I still feel "full" but not in a good way. I'm hungry but my stomach just feels heavy and gross. I don't want to put anything else in my stomach. I had repercussions for eating it trust me. The bathroom and I at work were well acquainted today. I can't wait to get back on my juicing after this experiment gone bad. Giving into my craving ended badly. Later on I'll post about how to ease out of a juice fast or any fast for that matter without ending up like I have. Gassy, bloated, bowling ball feeling and "oggies". Tomorrow is another day and I'll embrace my juice! Fresh, good, that gives me real energy instead of this crap I experienced today. Fennel will be in the picture since it helps with bloating due to increase of salt (OMG can we say there was tons of salt in that food) and helps with gas. I don't want to scare my clients by farting every few minutes which I can safely do in my own home.
For those thinking of beginning a juicing journey, be warned. Experimenting without knowledge is bad idea. *facepalm*
till then....
