♥The End of The Juice Diet.♥

So, I broke the Orange juice diet today on four fresh ripe Dates spread out over about one hour - and they tasted delicious.

I am still doing some deep level elimination which is quite an experience in itself. And despite eliminating from my eyes, the whites of my eyes have never looked whiter. Also my skin is totally clear.

So I have at least two nice side-effects from all the elimination.

Later in the day I had about 50gms/1.76oz of Organic Watermelon.

I am trying to take the re-introduction of other fruit gently.

I also drank lots of water today, to help to flush my body out.

And I just wanted to say  Thank You again to everyone who has followed my blog and given me support whilst I was on my Juice Diet.♥

I an eternally grateful that I was able to carry it out in such a wonderful way ♥

I think I will still post here if I find out some amazing Orange facts, and I certainly will the next time that I go on an Orange juice diet.

So Many Thanks for all your wonderful support and great comments.

Wishing you Beautiful Days ♥

Love and Peaches,

♥ Day 84 Mono Orange Juice ♥

Day 84 ♥

Because I was going through some elimination: mucus from the nose and eyes, feeling very tired, and having a headache, I had no desire to take any food today, so I water fasted for 42 hours.

I was fortunate to be able to rest today, Cappi was wonderful and let me spend time relaxing, so I really appreciate his consideration.

So I will take Orange juice tomorrow morning, and depending on how I feel, either have another Orange juice day, or break the Orange juice diet.

This tiredness is very unusual to me and it does make me appreciate my normal high energy levels.

I do have faith in my body though, and I feel that it is really removing some deep stored toxins .

Have Beautiful Days ♥

♥ Day 83 Mono Orange Juice ♥

Day 83 ♥

Today, was interesting, I seemed to go into some deeper stage of elimination, I felt weak for the first time in ages, and I had some elimination in the corner of my eyes, and a little mucus from my nose.

So I will see how I feel tomorrow, and maybe it is time to finish the juice diet.

As an added incentive, the box of Fresh Barhi Dates arrived today, and they look very good, and are just a a few days off ripening.

My father and his friend are also flying out from England to spend time with us next week, and so it will not be best time in my life for taking  rest if I need to, as we will be travelling around the Sunshine Coast. It will be wonderful to spend time with him ♥

So I will water fast tomorrow to help things along their way, and then make a decision maybe the day after.

I have had the most wonderful experience on my juice diet, and before today, had no real feeling of when it may end.

I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to undertake such a wonderful juice diet.

And I am so grateful to all The Organic Orange Trees, and The Organic Growers, The Organic Fruit Pickers, and The Organic Distributers that have combined in their sweet efforts to bring the Oranges to my door.

♥ Day 74 Syrup Balls from Heaven ♥

Day 74 ♥

My oh my today was a corker !

There is one little wholefood store on the Sunshine Coast that has the smallest, the sweetest, the most syrupy of all the Syrup Balls.

And today was the day to visit that store.

I had already had my usual three meals of juice, when we returned home with bags of sweet Syrup Balls

(For those of you who have not been following this Orange Juice Train, Syrup balls are particularly small and sweet Late Season Valencias. Less than half the size of a standard Valencia, they tend to get left behind on the shelf. A kind of Cinderella Orange, deceptively clothed in not the glitziest of skin—but pure sweet beauty beneath the cinders).

So whilst the Syrup Balls are often left 'on the shelf' by those who opt for 'Bigger is Better', this little Orangeophile is one gal who really appreciates them.

So when we arrived home, I couldn't wait to taste their sweetness, and then I did not want to stop my Syrup Ball Feast. And because I juice each one individually with a spoon, the feast lasted a nice amount of time. And I just felt so good and happy and warm afterwards.

Pure Golden Nectar ♥

I am finding that the last week my appetite for Orange juice has increased.

And I think that after a stage of elimination, then there may be a stage of assimilation. So it may be that after doing some deeper elimination, my body now is in more of an assimilation stage, and there is a need for a greater quantity of juice.

I am listening to my body on this mono diet, and the needs it has and I am trying to go with the flow as it were.

That is one reason why I did not finish the mono diet, as I had intended to on day 60.

There was a need to continue.

And now I really am taking it day-to-day.

I could finish tomorrow, or I could not. It is open-ended when it will end ♥

I really appreciate all the lovely positive comments and support I have had here ♥

I am very grateful and wish to thank you all for your companionship during this Orange Juice train ride.

It has been one of the best journeys of my life, and a great deal of fun too ♥

 ♥ Thank You ♥

♥ Day 72 Mono Orange Juice ♥

Day 72 ♥

Today, I just thought that I would share some of the benefits and experiences of the past 72 days.

First of all, here are the major benefits that I have encountered on my Orange juice diet:

Softer skin

Moister skin

Improved circulation

Better condition of veins

Skin is less likely to bruise

Increased range of movement in joints

Increased general flexibility in muscles
Muscles feel 'freer' and looser

I feel more agile

Reducing of fine lines and improvement in general skin condition, notwithstanding, and taking into account episodes of elimination through the skin

Improved sense of smell

Increased lung capacity, more freedom in muscles associated with breathing

The need for less sleep

Better sleep, very deep and satisfying; awesome dreams

Better adaptation to hot Aussie Summer

Increased endurance, except for the few days during the Orange juice diet when I felt a need to rest due to elimination

Faster than usual healing of cuts


And here are some of my experiences during the 72 days:

Smells and sensations of past toxins, including smelling cigarettes and marijuana, despite never taking these substances personally and just being a 'passive' smoker.

Also, having a smell/taste sensation of coffee, despite not drinking coffee for the last 23 years.

Increased incidences of synchronicity

Feeling very much in flow and in tune with the universe

Finding I have more time and energy for other elements of living due to needing less sleep.

Finding less energy is used for thinking about food, so more energy freed up for other aspects of life.

Sweating less; I almost stopped sweating altogether in 1995 on my 52 day Orange juice diet, this has not happened to me this time, but I feel bettter adapted to the heat and am sweating less.
 
So I am very appreciative of this amazing Orange Juice Experience, and I feel very blessed to have been able to carry it out and to have been favoured with many benefits and adventures along the way.

Day 53 Mono Orange Juice ♥

Day 53 ♥

The weather here in South East Queensland has still been very conducive to a mono juice diet. The temperatures have been high, averaging about 32 degrees Centigrade/90 degrees Fahrenheit, and I have been really enjoying the heat and loving the early morning sun warming up my Oranges.

I have been juicing Oranges from a variety of sources, and it is nice to have a little variety. I have another order arriving on Friday, and I am thinking of ringing them up and asking for all of their littlest Valencias (which tend to be the real syrupy juice balls).

I am continuing to enjoy Dick Gregory's book, 'Natural Diet for Folks Who Eat: Cookin' With Mother Nature'.

Gregory has lived on fruit and veg juice (no solid food) for one and a half years at the time he was writing the book (1971) in protest of the Vietnam War. Apparently at the time he was well known for his water fasting and his juice diets. Dick Gregory was a very popular comedian, so I believe that  his dietary actions were pretty newsworthy.

It would be great if one of our present day entertainers followed Gregory's lead and brought a good example of awareness of diet and Natural Hygiene into the world of celebrity news.

I feel that I have been eliminating a bit today, I had more coating on my tongue than usual and my body felt like having more of a restful day; I did not feel tired or weak but just not drawn to do my usual workout. However, my skin is nice and clear.

The Oranges continue to be excellent in taste and ripeness ♥

For which I am very grateful ♥

Day 51 Mono Orange Juice

Day 51 ♥

Today I went to a couple of local markets; one had good live music, the other good Oranges - so I was pretty happy.

Cappi got an all-fruit ice-cream from the Eumundi markets.

There is a guy there with a stall called 'Pulp Addiction' and he sells frozen fruit put through a Champion juicer. Cappi gets a large tub with Mango, Banana, and Pineapple, so he was a happy chappie too.

I found some small nicely ripe Biodynamic Valencias.

I was carrying two big bags of them when one of my bags split and there were little syrup balls rolling all around the pavement; some kind souls stopped to help me retrieve them before they rolled away into the road.

My tongue seems to be getting less coated, and my skin has gone nice and clear. A while back I was getting some elimination through the skin. I have found, however, that if I deep breath when I am getting elimination through the skin, the deep breathing helps to clear the skin.

I think because toxins are then being released more via the breathing and less through the skin. Also the extra oxygen is great for skin health, and helps speed up any elimination.

The sunshine has also been wonderful here at the moment; a great aide to elimination, skin health, and feeling wonderful.

♥ Happy New Year ♥ Day 35 Mono Orange Juice.

Day 35.
The past two days has felt as though I am eliminating something. My body fat is still reducing (it was 10% when I measured it today). So I feel that it could be some stored toxins that are being released as my body fat is released.
I marvel at how wise the body is in storing anything harmful away from the vital organs, and in the place that the body deems least harmful.
I often get asked, 'What could you possibly have left to eliminate', when people see that I am on a mono juice diet.
I reason that my body had 24 years of eating cooked foods, 14 years of taking allopathic medicines, X-rays when I was in utero and as a child (I had a heart murmer), 20 years of eating dairy, and no years of taking breast milk.
Also I am not an island, I live in a world of farmers who spray their crops, of cars and vehicles which emit exhaust pollutants, of household chemicals and personal deoderants (I only use natural house cleaners but come into contact with other households), of people who spray weedkillers on the paths where I walk, and a whole host of other environmental toxins to which I am daily exposed.
As I say, I am not an island and unless I go and live on one in the middle of the Pacific Ocean then I will still be absorbing a certain amount of toxins daily.
Another factor is that I have never taken a fast or mono diet to completion.
By this I mean to the point where the tongue is perfectly clean.
I feel that I came close in 1995 with my 52 day Orange juice diet. But I have always broken the diet ot fast before this point.
Maybe it is the deepest stored toxins that are the last to come out.
Having said this I still have lots of energy and feel good.
I generally wake between 4am and 5am and am ready to jump out of bed (and start typing my diary from the day before!) My exercises are easier to do than 'normal' and I sleep the best and the most soundly, but need less sleep than usual.

So I am not sure how long I will carry on. I feel like I would like to reach the 40 day mark. The Mangoes on our trees are getting perfectly ripe now, so I feel that they would make a great juice-breaker ♥
Also Queensland Rambutans are coming in, so they are one of my favourites and fresh jammy Figs will soon be in season. So I will have a wealth to choose from when I finish the mono-diet.

Merry Christmas ♥ Day 28 ♥ Season's Greetings

Four weeks of Orange juice, and Festive Greetings to all ♥

Wishing everyone Peace and Goodwill ♥

Still enjoying the beautiful nectar, and it has been giving me the necessary energy to do all that I need to do.

I actually find it easier to do my morning workouts.

I have started to lose a bit more weight now.

I am (after 4 weeks) about 2kg (4.4lbs) lower than my 'normal' weight.

I was buying fruit for Christmas dinner, and I found the smelll of the Peaches very appealing, but I could enjoy the smell without wanting to eat one, but out of all the fruit smells that I have smelt since starting the Orange Juice, the Peaches were the most appealing.

I felt as though I was eliminating a bit in the morning, my tongue was coated and I felt a bit more like being still, whereas normally I feel active in the morning.

It passed quickly though and my energy was good for the rest of the day.

The last lot of Biodynamic Oranges were not so ripe, after being simply excellent, so I am hoping that the next lot are back to the previous ripeness. I did buy some unorganic Oranges at the Farmers' Market yesterday which just looked good, and they were really nice and flavoursome and sweet.

Morning—3, Organic Oranges, juiced in the mouth,

Day 20 Mono Orange Juice.

Day 20.

I have been really enjoying reading Dr. Frank McCoy's book.

I will quote a case study:

" Case 26. male 65 years of age. This patient was a retired physician who had been totally deaf for about 10 years. He came to me in the hope that I might be able to give him a diet which would relieve the catarrhal condition in his head and throat which had existed all his life. He remembered having catarrh as a boy, and was never entirely free from it at any time, but in spite of all the treatments he took in his endeavors to overcome the trouble, it gradually increased through the years, so that when he presented himself to me for treatment he was using several handkerchiefs daily. He gradually became deaf during the years of his practice, and the last few years had been spent as a specialist on a certain branch of medical science where acute hearing was not essential. After becoming totally deaf he found it hard to continue his practice at all and consequently retired from it altogether.

I explained the benefit of the fasting cure for his catarrhal condition, and suggested that his hearing might be regained. Of course he did not believe this, after eminent specialists had failed to help him.

He started on an orange juice fast to rid his system of catarrh. during the fast he used only the juice of 6 oranges daily, one taken every two hours with a plentiful supply of water.

The fast was continued for 25 days. After the tenth day certain loud noises could be heard. His hearing continued to improve, and on the eighteenth day of the fast he passed the test used for railway trainmen, and could hear a watch tick 18 inches from either ear...

The cure was completed several years ago and from time to time I have heard from the doctor, who has resumed practice, and has had no return of catarhal symptoms or deafness."

Over the last few days I have been eliminated some clear mucus in the morning.

My energy is generally very good, although there was a point today where I wanted to rest for a an hour in the afternoon.

My sleep is so wonderful and rested and my dreams are very vivid.

Fruity Fare:

Morning—12 Organic Valencia Oranges, juiced in the mouth

Afternoon—Ditto.
