Results of our New Diet

Well, we have completed 2 weeks on our juice fast. We feel so great that we are going to continue.
Our stats so far are: Chris has lost 14 pounds and 8 inches total (including his chest, waist, thighs, arms and legs.) I have lost 7 pounds and 3 inches total. The numbers are pretty amazing but what is more amazing is how we feel. We actually crave fruits and vegetables now and desire to live a healthier lifestyle.
Our favorite juices include crazy ingredients like fennel (anise), sweet potatoes, beets, kale and swiss chard. We are always surprised that the juices taste good and that we are not hungry throughout the day.
Going forward, we are going to continue juicing, especially on week days. It is actually easier than planning meals. We are planning on having a cheat day once a week where we eat "normal" foods in moderation.
Please comment if you have heard of cheat days or have more information about them. We have read that after 6-8 days of decreased calorie intake, your metabolism begins to slow. Adding the cheat day and spiking the calorie intake helps keep your metabolism in check. Supposedly, this spike will lead to quicker weight loss. We also think it helps mentally, if you have a craving, you know you can have it on your cheat day and you won't feel deprived.
