I fell in love with juicing a few years ago. I started making a green juice for breakfast every morning in January 2014 and had hopes of doing a juice fast.  I did quite a bit of research on juice fasts but I never actually did a fast.  I have always loved the idea of fasting but if I don't eat within a certain amount of time I start to have problems.  Many of my migraines are triggered by lack of food and if I don't eat for several hours I get these horrible shakes and brain fog.  Fearing these side effects has been what has kept me from attempting a juice fast.

After reading The Juice Lady's Guide to Fasting by Cherie Calbom I can say that the fire is lit in me again.  There are many different types of fasts in the book that you can choose from and the author does a wonderful job of explaining everything.  There are numerous recipes that you can try as well as explanations about various supplements that you should be taking for your health.

I also love how the author talks about examples of fasting in the Bible and the fact that fasting is a form of disciplining our bodies.  When we take the focus off food it can open the door to a more intimate relationship with God.

Anyone who has ever been curious about fasting or juicing should read this book. They don't call her The Juice Lady for nothing!

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I wanted to read this book because I have never tried fasting for long periods of time, let alone consumed juice during the whole time. This book has some interesting tasting recipes that I would not have tried myself!

If you are new to fasting, and juicing then this is a book for you to try. Easy tips and recipes to follow.

Not into juicing - but there were numerous things upon different fastings - spiritual fast, so good information

[Stacie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cherie Calbom is very well known as the Juice Lady. She has a whole series of books and a plethora of information on her website. I’ve had this book since 2017 and just recently saw it again in my stack. I thought I’d give it a read. I honestly thought it was about Intermittent Fasting, where you eat inside a block of time (8-10 hours) and fast for the rest. This is a common habit among menopausal women and I wanted some more information about that.

Unfortunately, it was about Juice Fasting. In other words, fasting from all other foods except drinking juiced fruits and veggies for a certain number of days. While I found this information interesting and took some recipes from the book, this isn’t something that can fit into my lifestyle at this time. I’m also not interested in buying a $450 juicer to accommodate this plan. Do I doubt that juice fasting is great for your health? No. Do I think it would be difficult to do? Yes. As I said, I copied some of the more smoothie-type recipes and jotted down some of her other tips from the book related to cleaning out your gut. But, for the most part, this book wasn’t what I thought it was.

I have to tell you there were some well - disgusting things she tells you about your body and detoxing and what it does to your body and what it specifically did to hers - if what it did to her - did to mine - I would have gone to the emergency room and would have been scared to death and disgusted - she was proud - to each his own - I would not tell you - one for you to read it on your own and two it would totally grouse you out - but once you get past all of that and that is one whole chapter - she gets on to the fasting - and then she got me - but then she didn't get me - she taught me a lot about fasting and how serious it is and how important it is to bring your close to GOD - to hear HIS voice and feel HIS presence - but juicing has nothing to do with it - GOD does not say anything about juicing in the Bible = so for me this book was ok if a friend GAVE it to me to read - I may have read it all the way through but maybe not - it was interesting - it honestly did get me thinking about juicing - which could have been her other motive. I received a copy of the book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
