About This Site
I’m in my early fifties, I work a desk job in the UK, and I’ve been juice fasting on and off for several years. I’m not a nutritionist or a doctor. What I have is direct experience and a low tolerance for writing that doesn’t actually help anyone.
How I Got Into It
A few years back I started paying more attention to my health. Nothing dramatic — no health scare, no crisis. I was just tired all the time. Not ill, just flat. I’d sit at a desk all day, come home, eat something that made me feel heavier than before I ate it, and wonder why I had no energy.
Someone mentioned juice fasting. I was sceptical — it didn’t sound like something that would work for me. But I tried a 24-hour fast anyway, mostly out of curiosity.
It was harder than I expected in some ways and easier in others. The evening was the strangest part. Not the hunger — just the absence of the routine. Sitting on the sofa at 9pm with nothing in my hand felt oddly wrong. But I got through it. And I felt different the next morning. Not transformed. Just lighter.
So I tried two days. Then three. Built up slowly over several attempts across different weeks. Each time the first couple of days were rough and each time it was slightly more manageable.
How This Site Works
There are no miracle claims here. Every article is written for someone who is actually doing this — mid-fast, struggling, trying to work out whether what they’re feeling is normal or a reason to stop.
That means covering the hard parts honestly. Telling you when to quit as readily as telling you how to continue. No detox theatre. No before-and-after stories. Just what actually happens and what to do about it.
This is not medical advice. If you have an underlying health condition, are on medication, or have any reason to think fasting might not be right for you — speak to a doctor before you start. That’s not a formality. It is important.
Why I Built This
When I came back to juice fasting and looked for practical information, I found two things: cheerleading and clinical disclaimers. Neither helped me on day two, feeling rough and trying to work out whether what I was experiencing was normal or a reason to stop.
I’m not trying to convince you that juice fasting will change your life. I don’t know if it will. I know what it did for me and I know what the experience is like from the inside.
If you’re in the midst of a juice fast and struggling, or thinking about starting and want to know what you’re actually getting into — this site is for you.
