I went back to visit your Day 1 post on juice feasting and noted this:

"Why 92 days? There’s a story behind the number, but I don’t consider it a big deal. The number 92 was used because supposedly the body needs 92 different elements to function optimally. For practical purposes, we’re essentially dealing with a 3-month target, which is a good length of time to give the body a rest from digestion and allow it to focus on healing and regeneration.

Instead of forcing myself to go exactly 92 days, I’ll do my best to listen to my body to determine when to stop. Some people go 30 days."

I personally think you should do 30 days or so (maybe 31 or a few more) - i.e. at least a solid month, and then stop.

I think it would be wonderful to celebrate the end of your juice feast with a sit-down (Thanksgiving?) meal with your family where you can all share the joys of eating solid food and each others connection and company.
