One Of The Most Common Questions I Get About Juice Fasting Is
“What’s the hardest part?”
For me, the answer has never been about food itself. It’s not hunger or cravings. It’s the stillness—the realization of how much time I used to dedicate to eating, planning meals, or going out with friends to restaurants.
The Challenges:
1. Sitting with myself: Instead of filling those moments with food, I was forced to sit in stillness. This opened the door to self-reflection and growth.
2. Breaking programming: Years of conditioning around food—eating at certain times (breakfast, snack, lunch, happy hour, dinner) or associating food with coping—came to the surface.
3. Shifting social circles: Another challenge that became a blessing was doing this alone. When you change your diet or lifestyle, familiar situations and even relationships may no longer resonate. For me, not many people wanted to join or even understand why I’d choose to live on juice for an extended period. And that’s okay—I’m not here to convince anyone, only to live this experience for myself.
4. Isolation as empowerment: The involuntary isolation that came with this shift gave me the space to connect with my God Self. Without distractions, I could hear and feel my body, provide it with what it needed for healing, and grow closer to my highest purpose.
“If Nature Didn’t Make It. Don’t take it!”
What I’ve Learned:
Since February 2024, I’ve committed to doing a monthly seven-day juice feast. I’ll be honest—the first month was challenging. Days three and four were always the hardest, with day three being the ultimate “make or break” moment. That’s when the cravings hit their peak and tested my resolve.
But once I pushed through, the results were transformative. By the next month (March), I felt inspired to go even deeper, embarking on a 36-day juice feast during the Spring Equinox in Panama.
This consistent practice has completely shifted my relationship with food. Now, I can go a full day—or even multiple days—without food or substantial liquids and feel perfectly fine. The traditional idea of needing three meals a day? I’ve proven to myself that it’s not necessary.
Over the past ten months, juice feasting has become second nature. My body no longer craves the processed foods it used to, and I feel free—empowered to make decisions that truly serve my health and well-being.
✨What’s the biggest takeaway?
Discipline.
This isn’t just about willpower but about unlearning habits that no longer serve us and replacing them with intention. Food is no longer a coping mechanism for me. It’s a source of vitality.
