Hi, Tim here with my Day 27 juice fasting plan update
Yes, I’m still going with my juice fast. Getting up close to the halfway 
 mark. Tomorrow is going to mark the halfway mark of my juice plan
I have lost, since yesterday, 0.4 kg, which is about 
 .9 of a pound, just about 1 pound
Overall my weight loss is now 12.7 kilograms, 
 which is pretty close to 28 pounds
So, still feeling good, still feeling fantastic, still feeling in control
I had a couple of thoughts today
Firstly, the word juice fast. ‘Fast’, to me 
 conjures up a negative sort of vibe
I saw someone used the word ‘feast’
I thought that was a good idea. Any other ideas? 
 I’m open to any other ideas to call it
Because it seems such a negative thing to say that you are 
 on a fast, because traditionally that means you’re ‘going without’
Whereas I think what we’re doing is actually 
 giving your body the nutrients it needs
So I’m going to have a think and see if I can come up with a better phrase, 
 and see if we can get that phrase out there and being used in everyday life
Not a lot else to report
As I said everything’s on track and feeling 
 good, and everything is still quite easy
The other thing I wanted to talk about was 
 the number of drinks I’m having per day
What I have done in the past I have been 
 trying to have about 500mls three times a day
What I have done in the past I have been 
 trying to have about 500mls three times a day
Which is somewhere between 16 to 18 fluid 
 ounces I think, for you US folk
And what I have found in the past few days is that 
 I haven’t been feeling hungry at all during lunch time
So I have had something at breakfast, and then something in the evening. And I 
 have just found that I don’t want to have any juice at lunch time
So I have done that for two days in a row. I am not consciously trying to 
 avoid it. I just feel I don’t need it, so I’m not thinking about it
Anyone else out there having a similar thing? I would be 
 interested to know whether that’s happening for you as well
I am making sure though that I drink plenty of 
 fluid, because it’s obviously important to keep hydrated
So if you are cutting back your juices a little bit, make 
 sure you’re topping up with water and having plenty of water
And I do tend to avoid drinking low calorie 
 smoothies, since I’m focusing more on juices
Of course, the other thing is, if you try 
 and actively stop giving yourself too much juice
Thinking that perhaps you’re going to lose some more weight
Your body can go into a protection, survival type mode
But anyway, what I was saying was if you are trying to cut back, and 
 thinking, well, I’m only going to have one or two juices a day
And you’re trying to do without, your body goes into survival mode where it 
 actually thinks that there is a problem with you getting enough nutrition
And that hinders your weight loss
Make sure you don’t do that purposely. Also do avoid energy 
 drinks since they have a lot of energy drink dangers
So if you are feeling hungry you should be having something
Absolutely you should be having some apple juice or a substitute for apple juice 
 which is by far one of the healthiest drinks in the world
So, in my case, if I’m not feeling hungry, 
 then I don’t feel I’m going without
So the last two days I have only had the two juices
So I will see how I go today. If I feel 
 I’m getting a bit hungry I will certainly have some
I would be very interested in hearing about your experiences on that
Alright, well I’m going to go now
That’s all for today
And I will see you tomorrow for my Day 28 
 update, which is going to be a good one
Because I will be halfway through my juice fast, to finishing!
Cheers for now
