I always found them to be intense physical & spiritual journeys - well worth the trip because I welcome the intense stuff!!! For me, at a certain point, I had to look at how juice fasting was feeding into a binge/purge pattern - I'm certain this wouldn't affect everyone in the same way. Now, I'm interested in what is referred to as "intermittant fasting" - one day a week, one day on/one day off, etc. All the best on your journey :-)Pam Hicksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-32325268800485836372012-06-17T20:29:06.392-04:002012-06-17T20:29:06.392-04:00You are such an insiration to so many people,espec...You are such an insiration to so many people,especially to me. I envy how you are trying to better yourself, your life and the lives of Atticus, Max & Will. I wish I could follow my dreams without worrying what everyone will say about me.

I'm not Vegan and suppose I never will be, as I need to wear leather shoes..so that alone deletes me out..but regarding diet, I am eating a lot more healthy, even though I never really neglected things too badly. Getting a divorce from the world's biggest junk food junkie is making it much easier ;) I do still have my 30 year old Champion juicer...so it's available for me here and am growing my own organic garden now in the back yard...and am loving that! All in all...just to say good luck with it. My Schnauzers are loving tasting lots of my fruits and veggies I'm growing....bet yours do too!

That movie trailer was very powerful--I ...Dear Tom,<br />That movie trailer was very powerful--I need to watch the movie. And I was one of the ones who may have given you unsolicited advice--which was to not do 60 days right off the bat. But it wasn't meant to be advice as much as being concerned about someone who I've become acquainted with over the wonderful world of the web. You ARE an inspiration. And the naysayers--it's more about them than you--fear of change. Fear of them having to look at THEIR lives. Much easier to judge another. Hang in there and enjoy that spring in your step! And yes, Happy Father's Day to one of the best doggy dads around.Molliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072692058178050814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-40285917433264404632012-06-17T12:29:29.255-04:002012-06-17T12:29:29.255-04:00Tom, Atticus and William,
You have changed my life...Tom, Atticus and William,<br />You have changed my life. When I read your posts a week ago about, "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead," I watched the movie. I figured "contempt prior to investigation" isn't something I wanted to live by, LOL. <br />Thank you. While I can't afford a juicer right now, I have completely switched my diet to raw veggies and fruits with low fat protein. I've lost 6 pounds so far, and I am about to say goodbye to the 300 mark!<br />Where I really noticed the difference, though, was when I got on my knees at night to say, "thank you for another day," when I get up now, IT DOESN'T HURT. No groaning, either :) <br />I know Kirby (my late schnauzer) is looking down on you three and saying, "thank you, gentlemen" for giving me a wake-up call. Bless your endeavors!Helenann Mesmernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-29549852153931520922012-06-17T12:18:26.048-04:002012-06-17T12:18:26.048-04:00Thanks for writing on Father's Day.

I too remember my dad today-his intelligence, sense of humor, the consummate teacher...<br />Glad you are having such wild success with your eating plan. I have found that by making choices that lead to physical, emotional and spiritual health, not only do we feel personally empowered, but I think it often translates to having more to offer to others. Press on!Gretchennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36795530.post-68722695225661251032012-06-17T11:29:04.474-04:002012-06-17T11:29:04.474-04:00I went vegan 8 weeks ago. When I tell people that ...I went vegan 8 weeks ago. When I tell people that I get a lot of negativity as well. But when I tell them I switched to a cancer-fighting diet (I'm a breast cancer survivor) everybody goes "good for you!!"--then I tell them that means "plant-based diet." It's all in the pitch, I suppose. But I don't actually care what they think. Like you, I know this is what's right for me.<br />One question--what do you feed the dogs? My beagle is also a cancer survivor, so I've looked into giving him the best diet I can. That seems perhaps not vegan, but unprocessed whole foods (and many of the same fruits and vegetables).

Going vegan isn't for me, but I've added more and more fruits and vegetables to my diet over the last year, and eating better really does make you feel better. I love the Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead documentary- the change it made for Joe and the man that he helped was incredible. Congratulations on doing the fast, and do keep us posted on how it's going.

You are the best Doggie Dad around and I'm sure Atticus and William do agree. One should be respected for taking charge of their lives for any betterment. This shows that one wants to be the best they can be within society. No one should look negatively upon another just because it's not their choice or style of living. If one's choices in life does not hurt or causes problems to others, then it is their God given freedom to live and enjoy their lives as such. You are an inspiration to many; and you help some of us to also commit to making our lives better. You are that supporting friend and voice of encouragement that a times is needed to remain on the right path to success.
