"The same happens to people who drink excessive wheatgrass juice during transition to raw diets. A quicker way to transition your pet would be to fast it on water for a few days. This is something to consider, especially if it is sick. Even if it is seemingly healthy, fasting will speed up the detoxification from all the cooked food. You will not know how many days the creature needs to fast, and so it is best to put out fresh pieces of raw food for it after a couple days and let the pet decide when to break its fast. I have a long-time raw food friend who once "cat-sat" for two obese cats." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

Among our guests at the [Hippocrates Health] Institute, the average weight loss per week is between four and fifteen pounds" (The Wheatgrass Book, p. 59).

"This unusual category—green foods and drinks— covers a lot of territory, from the perennial health food store favorite wheatgrass juice to the algaes like blue-green algae and spirulina. All have specific nutrient profiles and are used for different (but overlapping) purposes. Let's start with the main thing they all have in common: chlorophyll.

"An added advantage is that they tend to taste better than, for example, straight wheatgrass juice.
