Do you find that you lose muscle mass when you juice fast? I have a

high caloric need, and I need to eat a lot to maintain my weight.

I've been juice fasting once a week for the last few weeks, but I'm

worried that anything prolonged will cause rapid weight loss. Is this

uneasiness unfounded?

Also, I've found that it is impossible for me to 1) afford to make

enough fresh juice to last me a day and 2) get by reasonably on fresh

juice alone. I've found that Odwalla's flash-pasteurized juices are

much more affordable than making my own, and provide me with enough to

drink and make it through work (although I won't have to worry about

my high energy-expenditure at work anymore). Is this still

beneficial?

Right now I'm fasting from animal products for the Orthodox Lent. I

haven't had raw meat in a while because Whole Foods stopped carrying

the grass-fed meat I was buying a long time ago, but I realized

recently that off in a side case they have some NZ grass-fed meat.

Kind of expensive, but when I'm eating meat again I plan to eat a lot

of raw grass-fed steak. I also haven't had raw milk in a long time

due to source problems. I'm thinking of mail-ordering raw cream from

an Amish farm that mail-orders and had a booth at the WAPF conference.

The olive oil flush seems intimidating but I might try it, not sure. Thank you.
