Coconut water sounds lovely I'm definitely going to try that, do you have a morrisons near you they have organic ground flaxseeds for £1.99 atm, they're £5.99 and H&B
Maybe the tiredness is a sugar crash? your morning smoothie sounds really nice but too sweet for me, try a more sharp zingy citrusy one with tomato and some turmeric that's a right wake up

I have 5 500ml juices throughout the day and the same amount of water as well as the odd cup of green tea and that seems to do me ok, I'm not a little woman either I'm 5'10 and overweight. Mind you if you have lil kids and/or are working you'll need much more energy so I wouldn't say a juice fast was a good idea long term like this, I did it 99% due to my ill health so don't feel bad for wanting a coffee and a bun x

They've got a good deal on Foco coconut water in Tesco - £1.25 for a 500ml carton, you have to drink it within 24 hours as it loses it's nutritional properties after this. I've found that drinking coconut water eases my heart burn, keeps me regular, and has helped calm gastritis, so this for me is a must have.

I think i might try the five juices a day for a week and see how i get on, for me it's all or nothing, and when i fall off the wagon i fall hard, it usually takes for my stomach to hurt before i think...."i have to go back onto a juice diet!" And do you know....every time i go onto a juice diet my whole body calms down, and i feel better.

We don't have a Morrisons near us, Tesco do a lot of seeds now but they are pricey, i've been using golden linseeds to bulk out my smoothies.

I usually put some greens into my smoothies but i've not been bothering

You've helped motivate me Kizzy, and i will try really hard to think about my health and the fact that food is fuel (so stay away from the rubbish!)
