Ouch! Underground Wellness. My 14-Day Juice Fast. A few weeks ago, a close friend challenged me to a 10-day juice fast.

My 14-Day Juice Fast

I love trying out new things, especially healthy things, so I excitedly agreed. I went out and bought an inordinate amount of fruits and vegetables, and started juicing. This is what happened… The Rules: Consume nothing more than juiced fruits and vegetables, and water for 14 days. Note that this requires the use of a juicer, and not a conventional blender. The Goal: Detoxification and healing. Why This Works: When you consume only juice, not only are you giving your body optimal nutrition from fruits and vegetables, you are also giving it an extended break from having to digest solid food. The Process Day 1-4: Like most new things, the first few days are the hardest. Day 5-7: My energy levels have returned to normal, and even surpassed normal slightly. Day 8-12: I originally meant to go for 10 days, but I’ve been reading that the really great sensations happen during day 11 – 25, so I’m going to continue.

The Results. Catwoman's Anti-Inflammation Diet - YouBeauty. If you were faced with the prospect of donning an unforgiving, figure-hugging Catwoman suit on the big screen, you might think about tightening up your eating habits. That’s exactly what actress Anne Hathaway did, who rocks a slim and toned physique in the new Batman film, “The Dark Knight Rises,” which premiers this Friday.

To get in meow-worthy shape, Hathaway teamed up with nutrition coach Jackie Keller and her team at Nutrifit. Together, they developed a plan to help the already-slim star look leaner and more toned.

But this was no celebrity starvation diet just so Hathaway could slip on the slinky suit. Shop Our Favorite Anti-Inflammatory Skincare at BeautySage.com — Proven to Work!
