April 2, 2012--Day 1 of my Mean Green Juice Fast

Well, my dad and I decided to do this mean green cleanse and I thought I'd blog about it to make me feel more accountable for the whole detox process!
My dad had a health scare a couple weeks ago and was put in the hospital for a few days...He was basically having some intestinal issues and would have to change up his entire diet, which is difficult for a cajun! I decided I'd embark on this journey with him! As it was a wake up call to see my 'strong' dad in such a vulnerable state :(
We were referred to a Natural Health Practitioner named Dee Baudoin (she's amazing), who told us a number of issues our bodies were having, and also ways to help 'cleanse' our bodies naturally...with herbs and veggie juices, etc.
We were told to watch a movie called Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead to give us motivation, which we did. And it pumped my dad and I to start this Mean Green Juice Fast ASAP!
So today is Day 1...The Mean Green consists of kale, celery, cucumber, lemon, ginger, and green apples.
Wish us luck! We are shooting for 14 days, maybe 21...Goal is 30-60! And I will keep you updated with mine and my dad's progress!
