Prefast Instructions
CONGRATULATIONS on your healthy choice! This week will be a fantastic cleansing of body, mind and spirit--much like a spring cleaning of your home. The excess food, drink and stress of our busy lives will melt away. By implementing the following suggestions during the 2-4 weeks preceding your fast your detoxification will be easier and more productive.
Pre-fast Items - Your book (Juice Fast and Detoxification), Perfect 7 Fiber, Jarro-Dophilus Probiotics, Digestive Enzymes and Super Colon Cleanse will be available at the Wellness Center approximately 3 weeks before the fast. If you live out of the area, we will mail it to you. Follow the instructions below for fiber, probiotics, enzymes and Super Cleanse.
Meeting Schedule: 17 hours of education
First Friday: Raw Soup & Intro Class 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. (Mandatory)
Sat & Sun: Sharing & education 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
Mon–Wed: Sharing & education 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
Thursday: Break the Fast Food Prep Class 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.

NOTE TO JUICE ONLY STUDENTS: Juice pick up starts on Saturday and is available 1 hour prior to class meeting time. If you can not pick up your juice before we close at day end (4:30 pm weekend, 5:30 pm week day), call & ask for us to leave it in the unlocked Foyer for you, or save in refrigerator until next day.
FOLLOW THESE PREFAST INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
Drink More Water – Measure the amount of water you drink. For most of you it will be around 2 quarts per day (more if you exercise heavily). Divide your body weight (lbs) by 2 to determine how many ounces to drink each day. Herbal teas count toward the total, but other drinks do not.
Fiber – Increase dietary fiber daily and supplement with Perfect 7 Fiber on an empty stomach (mix 1 rounded tsp. in water once daily and follow with extra 8 oz. of water).
Probiotic - Take 1 capsule of Jarro-Dophilus probiotics daily (arise or bedtime on empty stomach) to help prepare the intestinal tract for major cleansing. I also recommend the following foods for probiotics: raw apple cider vinegar, plain Keifer (unflavored Helios brand available at health food stores), plain organic yogurt, Kvass (Kombucha tea) or raw kraut.
Enzymes - Take 2 digestive enzymes at the beginning of each meal.
Super Colon Cleanse - Take 1 colon cleanse tablet at bedtime (on an empty stomach) for 5 nights starting the Tuesday night before the fast.
Wean off Caffeine – If you go cold turkey you will have headaches, so start now to gradually cut the caffeine out. Your goal is to be caffeine free by the week of the fast. Remember, black tea has 30% and green tea has 20% of the caffeine found in coffee. Herbal teas are caffeine free.
Eliminate sugars and alcohol – Over the next few weeks, you should refrain from alcohol and wean yourself off of refined sugars. This will stabilize your blood sugar and help eliminate hunger while fasting.
Cut down on animal products – By the week before the fast you should be eating all vegetarian. The last couple of days should be mostly raw foods. We will serve a raw, blended veggie soup on Friday evening from 6:00 to 6:30. Allow at least 15 minutes for that meal.
Eat Healthy – In the couple of weeks before the fast, start to focus on organic nutrition and eat meals that include vegetarian proteins (beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains and veggies). A few days prior, eat raw veggies & fruits. Follow the “How to Eat” instructions attached.
Start getting extra rest – Three days prior should be the last “late night” for you. After that, back up your bedtime so that you are asleep by 10 p.m. each night. During the fast you will want to get 8 to 10 hours of sleep, so this is the time to move towards that target.
Clear your schedule – The Juice Fast is designed to allow you to keep working during the fast. However, take some days off if you can and don’t schedule anything unless it is absolutely necessary. This is your week. Your family, friends and work (to the extent possible) should take a back seat to your needs. You’ll need time to attend meetings and to cleanse, soak, meditate, rest and exercise. A sample daily schedule is attached for your planning.
Plan/prepare family meals ahead of time – If you are responsible for preparing family meals, try to prepare them ahead of time (freeze or refrigerate) or make alternative arrangements, i.e., have other family members prepare meals, eat some meals out, etc. It is difficult to cook for others while on the fast.
Optional Items – 12 daily drinks are included in the fast (2 fresh juices and wheatgrass at the meetings, 3 powdered green drinks, 2 fiber drinks, herb teas, Mineral Fizz, Electromix & broth). For the first 3 days of the fast, drink 12 oz of Apple Juice (split among greens & fiber) to prepare for the Gallbladder/Liver flush (we provide a bottle of apple juice). Spirulina tablets (for hypoglycemics) are optional & available for purchase in the WEC store.
Extra fresh juice may be purchased from us, but must be ordered no later than 1 week in advance. Extra apple juice, various liquid veggie broths and herbal teas are available for purchase at the WEC store.

HOW TO EAT MEALS (Digestive Awareness)
- Take digestive enzymes, particularly when eating cooked foods.
- Don’t drink with meals (not more than 4 oz of lemon water). Too much liquid inhibits enzyme action. We also use liquid to “wash” down improperly chewed food. Drink water ½ hour before or 2 hours after.
- Never eat while under stress, emotionally upset or “on the run”. Drink a smoothy, juice or powdered green drink if you are in these situations.
- Don’t read or watch TV while eating. It distracts you from chewing properly and pacing yourself slowly.
- Eat smaller, more frequent meals. Eat your largest meal mid-day and a light supper.
- Focus on food combining (fruit by itself, no flesh protein with starches, 1 starch per meal, just a few types of food in one meal, single food type meals).
- Eat less animal foods (not more than once per day). Those you eat need to be organic, free range (no growth hormones, no antibiotics, no pesticides, no stress hormones). Keep portions to 4 oz., combine with veggies only (not potato or grains) and take digestive enzymes which are high in protease.
- Decide on portion to serve and then cut it in half (bring your own box or ask for “to go” box).
- Look at your plate. Envision how the food on it is going to serve your body, mind and spirit. Say a blessing of thanks for the food you are about to eat and what it is going to do for you (this goes for the healthy and occasional not-so-healthy treats)
- Cut food into very small pieces (including salad). Put small portions into your mouth. Using small utensils (salad fork, dessert fork or teaspoon) or chopsticks helps limit the size of each bite.
- Breath, relax and chew your food to a liquid pulp (this triggers enzymes to start digestion in the mouth). Don’t put another bite in your mouth until the previous one is completely chewed and swallowed.
- If you are having dessert, wait 1-2 hours after dinner and keep portions very small. Eating dessert immediately following dinner causes poor digestion, gas and bloating.
