I talked to my wife about it and we agreed that coming off the fast for the weekend was a good idea. She had noticed that my energy levels had fallen. Friday night I had some kielbasa and saurkraut as well as some guacamole.
Saturday I made a "paleo log" with hamburger, bratwurst, cheese, etc. I snacked on that all weekend long.
I spent much of the weekend suffering from "sulphur burps" -- which usually happens when I have food in my stomach while I'm sleeping. I also had some cashew butter this weekend, which often gives me sulphur burps, as well.
I'm debating my future course of action. I'll probably mix juicing and some protein/fat combination in the evenings. Although the idea of making a big stew and eating on that for a few days sounds really good right now...

Day 5 -- Friday
This is my fifth day without food and my 4th day without anything other than water (with the caveat that some of my water has had Natural Calm or lemon juice (and pulp and seeds) squeezed into it.
I've lost about 10 lbs since I started this effort. It's all water weight.
I'm sleeping a lot better. I've had some dry skin on the side of my nose that has cleared up, as well.
Nothing else really to report.
I'm planning to keep up juice-fasting and water-only-fasting through the 17th of May.
Still reading "Lights Out" and even more committed to extending my sleep time and staying the course of eliminating sugar.
Weight today: 215.4

Day 3 -- Not quite a Juice Fast
I juiced on Monday.
Tuesday and today I'm on water-only.
I'm probably going to continue water-only until Friday at least.
Then I'm planning to alternate juicing and water-only until the evening of the 17th.
Last night I went to the sauna. Between the sauna and fasting, I was pretty weak. However, today I feel quite rejuvenated and I slept better than I've slept in a long, long time last night. I feel amazing! :)
I don't feel any weakness at all. If it weren't for a conference call tonight, I'd hit the sauna again tonight -- planning to do it tomorrow.
