Mikes Juice Fast

So today makes day 4 that Mike is doing all alkaline foods and fresh vegetable/fruit juice from the jucier. So far the routine goes like this: A fiber drink upon rising along with a probiotic, a juice for breakfast (usually a few carrots, 1/2 granny smith apple, sometimes 1/4 a lime, some kale or other green vegetable such as bok choy, broccoli, celery, cucumber or zuccini). I make him 2 more juices to take with him to work and drink during the day and he has a 2nd fiber drink midday, then another juice when he comes home, a giant salad for dinner with lots of greens, sometimes some fruit, nuts or seeds and home made dressing with NO sugar. He has been doing a great job and the only thing I would consider cheating is he ate some roasted/salted sunflower seeds yesterday (everthing is supposed to be raw) and he likes to add more fruit to his juices than I feel is good (the vegetables should be the main ingredients with only a small amount of fruit). He is in good spirits, hasn't complained of any headaches or anything like that. The only thing is he is having a hard time running like he used to. Mike runs a lot and he is training to do the Honolulu Marathon again this year. It is no big deal for him to run 6-10 miles in the mornings. But today he intended to run 8 miles and was too tired. He said he ended up walking most of it (that is unusual for him!) So I'm hoping that in a day or two this side effect will pass. And most surely when he starts "eatting" again his energy level will rise and along with that he should be carring a few extra pounds. When he started he weighed 210 today he weighed in at 206. Beginning tomorrow he will move into the next stage of ONLY juices 4-6 per day, no more salads in the evening. He is going on live starting today, so not being at work will make it a little easier for him to do it. He won't have to take juices with him to work, everything will be right here for him and won't be tempted to eat out with coworkers and he can rest if he needs to etc. So we will see how he does. It kind of makes me want to do it again along with him but all that produce gets expensive!!! Today he spent $70 something just one produce (and toilet paper lol). He bought a lot more of the sweet fruit than the green stuff though :/
