Rid your refrigerator of any food that may tempt you to give up on your resolve. Include a lot of raw vegetables and fuits in your diet and slowly start cutting down on other food like caffeine and/ or alcohol.

2. The actual juice fasting days would be the days you consume only fruit and vegetable juices. You should try consuming 32 to 96 ounces of juice and half of which should be  green vegetable juice. Green vegetables contain chlorophyll that has important antioxidants. For the green juice blend together spinach, kale, celery, green apple, cabbage, avocados etc. For the fruit juices use carrots, apples, beets etc. Blend together all the ingredients and store in refrigerator for not more than 24 hours. You may also introduce a green salad in between if the hunger is unbearable to take in.
