Day 19 Juice Fast

I went to a health fair today. After today I don't know if I can ever trust Health Fairs again! My Body Mass Index was calculated at 44.7! I went home and did mine on the computer at http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/
and it was 31.2. I'd have to weigh 285.5 to be 44.7 BMI! My cholesterol was 188. Back in October it was 157! For not eating anything for 19 days you would think it would be lower. Of course, I'm not eating nuts which brought it down before, but really! My blood pressure was good at 118/92. But now, the thing that made me really think...my blood sugar was 125? Thirty minutes, before I left the house it was 197! Last October, it was 169 before I went to the Health Fair and 97 at the Health Fair. Now I'm thinking.....Is my brand new blood sugar meter off and registering high? Or is the Health Fair's meter off? And if you can't trust blood sugar meters, what about all the people who rely on their blood sugar meter to figure out what dosage of insulin to take? Oh, I can't wait until I no longer have to deal with this!

I juiced celery, cabbage, tomato, onion, jalapeno, cilantro and cucumber.
