Mini beet protocol update: I'm sorry to say I can no longer continue with the MBP. During my 2nd week I experienced problems with bloating and a sick feeling stomach. So I finished the 2nd week and decided not to go on to the 3rd which would be the full amount of beet juiced to equal one cup and asparagus juiced to equal 3/4 cup. I can't think of anything that I was doing that would cause these problems other than the MBP. I'd like to hear if anyone else has had these problems or success with the MBP. Thanks.
General Feedback
Mini Beet Protocol follow up. I faithfully followed Robert's directions for the MBP for exactly a week, drinking 1/4 cup beet and 1/4 cup asparagus juice. One of those days I got a headache shortly after consuming the juice, but other than that, no side effects.
Then, ha ha, I foolishly decided to do a significant increase in the amount of beet juice, even though it was advised against on Robert's website. I was very excited to get on with my detox, you see! On day 8, last Friday to be exact, I drank 3/4 beet and 3/4 cup asparagus. Oh oh oh... The next 20 minutes were terrible! And then the side effects in the ensuing 48 hour were rough! I had to hang near the sink right after drinking the beet juice because of severe, horrendous nausea. I gobbled down 2 apples and 1 carrot, which did help. Finally the nausea passed. I then had severe brain fog for the next 2 days. I couldn't think straight and had a difficult time finding words to communicate. I am not kidding!
Mind blowing side effects - you are not kidding, Robert!!! Uggh. There is NO WAY I could do the Major Beet Protocol of 3 cups of beet juice in one day!! Sad to say, I haven't been able to bring myself to drink more beet juice at the moment. I am instead happily drinking these yummy green smoothies (greens in the blender with various fruits).
So for anyone considerig the mini beet protocol... go very very slowly and up the beet juice in small increments. Otherwise, suffer the consequences like me, the foolish one.
