I'm on a 40-day juice fast to detox my colon. Where do you get protein? I can't have soy or milk products!

Question

Hello All

I've been on a juice fast for a few weeks now & I'm doing pretty good. At least the big belly & cravings are gone, yipppeee!

I'm walking everyday to tighten up b/c i don't want to have flabby skin from the weight lost.

I know how vegetarians get their protein with solid foods like LEGUMES, GRAINS, Veggie Burgers, milk & things of that nature. But, If you're on a juice fast (Fruit & Veggies only) how do I incorporate protein within the fast. I'm extracting the juice from a juicer extractor/wheatgrass machine as opposed to a blender.

I know some will say that Vegetarians get their protein from food, just like anyone else but I'm on a juice fast program and I can't juice certain foods like:

soy foods, tofu, cheese, nuts, beans, whey & soy protein powders, eggs, etc.

SPIRULINA powder is a great source of protein! It mixes well with my green juices and it cleared my skin,but I wanted to know if you know of any other protein sources I can have for my juice fast program.

Answer 1

Try a protein vitamin.

Answer 2

That sounds like an extremely unhealthy diet.  If you eat enough fiber you don't need to fast.  Our bodies naturally clean themselves.  I would never recommend doing such a risky thing.

Our bodies need certain things to survive and I a juice fast is just not safe.

Answer 3

Spirulina is excellent, has complete protein and is a whole food ;

my question would be how much is needed (grams) to supplement your daily intake and you will know what amounts you are taking and combined w/juices how much to include, like  what amount of powder to add

Answer 4

Your Veggie have more Po\rotien in them than you are lead to believe.

If you are making your own juice from FRESH RAW Fruits & Veggie you are in good shape. Yes, things like Spirulina is great help, Kelp, Dulse also.

MY Personal Trainer did Juice Feasting for 90 days, now she is doing Juice, Green Smoothies & Fresh Salads. She looks wonderful, & feels great.

Answer 5

Soybeans.  That is what they make tofu from, I don't understand why you can't have these.  I agree with the previous poster about the healthiness of the program though.
