On June 9th I completed one of my life's most fulfilling adventures - a 92 day Juice Feast, which lasted from March 8-June 9, 2008.

In mid-February after attending a raw food potluck at the Journey of Health, Tonya Dahl invited all those who were interested to begin a 92 day juice feast with her. I had heard of David Rainoshek and the 92 day juice feast before but never felt I could commit. Knowing I had support and that someone else I knew could do it; I thought "I can do it too".

Why I chose to Juice Feast?

I began my juice feast during a time in my life where I felt I needed a new challenge. I'd been progressively becoming more raw for 1.5 years and still felt I had so much more cleansing to do and the benefits I was getting from my raw food diet weren't quite enough for me. I was becoming complacent with my raw food lifestyle and needed a new goal that provided me with a purpose and direction.  Despite how "raw" I ate or how much I exercised I was still over weight at 5'7'' and 175lbs. I know I needed something drastic to get me to the next level. Juice Feasting seemed like the optimal solution to me - a simple easy plan of just juices providing optimal nutrition and all the support and direction I would need through juicefeasting.com and the global juice feast community that was simultaneously juice feasting along with me.

How was my Juice Feasting experience?

AMAZING: I became so much more empowered than ever before - no unpleasant hunger, optimal nutrition, and the mental attitude that I could do anything. It wasn't long after beginning my feast that I knew I would never be the same. This was the beginning of a new way of thinking and believing for me and I knew this was really what my body had needed all along in order to change the way I had so desperately wanted it too in the past.

I LOVED it and felt so much more functional than I ever had before on any fast, exercise plan or diet  My skin became more vibrant, my body threw out masses of old toxins and I lost weight ~ 30lbs. I felt very good energetically while feasting - on day 85 I had climbed an 8,000 ft mountain that took 6 hours to climb from start to finish. Nothing could have prepared me for the emotional and spiritual transformations. I released more 'baggage' through this experience than I ever knew I had. I became more confident - I was accomplishing all I had set my mind to do. I also felt more connected to my partner than ever before.

I looked and felt lighter after several weeks and friends and family who had not seen me in months, remarked on how well I carried myself both physically and mentally. I drank around 3-4 liters of fruit/green juice a day on the Feast, and felt so blessed to do this as my partner Matt would make most of my juices, with love, for me. I couldn't have done this without him, seeing that he made all my juices for me.

Transitioning back into the world of solids was quite a challenge for me mentally, as I had so enjoyed feeling 'liberated' on liquids for 92 days. But after having dealt with so many struggles over a lifetime and accomplishing all I had on my 92 day journey I've learned to embrace life with a little more confidence, trust, patience and understanding. This 92 day venture has created so many amazing opportunities for my future as I now know what I'm capable of physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. It truly has been my life's biggest blessing.
