It's being discussed. You're just not getting the answers you want to hear. It's kinda of a low blow to indirectly insult that people here aren't capable of discussion when that's not the case.Obviously not been here for a while.. Forgot no one could read nor discuss.. Woops, I'll go elsewhere.

I saw one that was funny (and I totally laughed), and the rest were totally legitimate comments. The problem is that it's not what she wanted to here, which was also pointed out before she made her snarky YAGE.

Not denying that there won't be replies like that, but that's why one doesn't respond to those and just discuss it with others who are willing to cordially.hiswaywardgirl wrote: »

Too soon?
This is why people should check out some of the sticky topics, though the OP knew how it would be received so the exasperation is over the top.
Edited, because spelling isn't my strong suit tonight. :grumble:0 -

Am I the white knight? LOL. All I did was point out that the "low blows" ninerbluff mentioned were directed at the OP first. I understand why she would be annoyed.SonicDeathMonkey80 wrote: »PrizePopple wrote: »hiswaywardgirl wrote: »

Does this thread serve a purpose anymore?
I've always liked knights. They move in that nifty L-pattern.-1 -

All I wanna know is is my response considered a low blow? Just wondering so I can check off my MFP forums bucket list.

You're asking me? I don't think so. Yours was relevant. I don't think ninerbluff's was rude, either.hiswaywardgirl wrote: »

I was referring to the comment on Blow, the documentary being for the "unknowledgeable," and the OP seeking confirmation bias. Seemed a tad unnecessary and I could see why the OP would be irritated.0 -
So I watched the documentary 3 years ago and it was interesting and the guy was compelling at the time I watched it. I was up for something new and figured I could do anything for ten days if I got enough calories. I was so horribly wrong. Mind you, I don't mind food experiments from time to time, but I really didn't think this one through very well.
I lasted 2.5 days of the 7-10 days I was attempting. I also dragged my DH into my experiment. He is a very loving man and very patient.
Things I learned while attempting a juicing experiment:
1) I love food
2) Don't make juices that are primarily made out of parsley. It was a super bad choice.
3) Yes, not eating actual food and getting my calories in a purely liquid form, was a bad idea to start on a Monday during a busy work season.
4) I didn't put much faith in the whole cleanse and needing the time at home, but the adjustment is harsh. I should have tried it when I could stay at home.
4) The breakfast juices made from fruits were ok.
5) I wasn't so much hungry, but wanted to eat. And it made me angry. Yup, flat out angry. It was a weird thing.
6) I won't ever attempt it again unless specifically prescribed by a doctor for a specific reason.
7) I read many internet articles and blogs ( not the best source) that some do a juice diet once a year for 30 days and thought it was the best thing ever. I am not sure how they do it.
8) Juicing, for us, was a time consuming process. I would put it at about the same time as regular food prep.
9) I am still confused as to how to get what I would consider vital nutrients like fat and protein when juicing.
It was by far the most interesting food experiment I have ever tried. I will not repeat it.-1 -
I would like to also add, I wasn't doing it for weight loss. I just saw the documentary and wanted to try it, for a limited time.0

OP Has a life, went to eat some food, went to bed, got up and saw to my horses, went to college and ate some more.
As said before I have no intention of juice fasting, nor did I say I thought the documentary was right, but what I did think was some of the things the documentary made me think about as its not strictly about juice fasting but increasing fruit and veg in your diet. Some points being about better general well being (skin, migraines etc) from cutting out processed foods. This is a subject I've heard contradicting views about time and time again with the same argument:
But people still cut processed foods from their diets and don't get shot down for it.
what toxins does a cleanse get rid of that your body does not naturally detox on its own????
I did not start this topic to suggest anyone start a juice fast, hence my annoyance at some of your replies. I was looking for a discussion on whether there are people who would benefit from juicing? If there is actually scientific evidence of effects on health of what you eat affecting your health? For example how would your health be if you had food for one meal and consumed the rest of your calories in juice if you were someone who did not consume fruit and veg usually. This is not actually a question more to show what I meant by discussion.
