Juicing can easily be a sustainable part of her way of eating and lifestyle. I incorporate juicing every day and is something I will do for the remainder of my life.0 -
Juicing is terrible. It's increases your risk of different metabolic disorders from the excess fructose, it removes the healthy part of fruit (fiber) and leaves you with a cup full of sugar water, it doesn't provide enough fats or protein for you body to function properly, and you'll lose muscle and possibly damage your organs.0

If the juicing diet only allows you to consume juice and nothing else, then it is no good. But if you can have a well balanced diet that also involves juicing then it might just work.0

I did a 2-day juice fast and I really liked it. I was very skeptical about it, but was surprised at how full I felt and how much energy I had - especially without caffeine! The Fat sick and nearly dead website (www.rebootwithjoe.com) has a lot of information on it including sample fasts and loads of recipes for juice.
They recommend lots of veggie juices and their programmes are 1200-1400 calories a day (or more, my boyfriend has a few more juices than me).
I lost about 5 lbs in two days, but it was not lasting. Overall, for the whole week I lost 1.5 lbs, which was higher that usual for me! Probably helped that I was also sitting at home drinking juice all weekend and not out getting burgers and booze!
It was a fun experiment and I've incorporated green juices here and there in my diet now. It inspired us to eat clean and healthy.0 -
It is better to eat the whole fruit rather than drink the juice. That way you'd also get fibre and more of the other nutrients from the fruit and you'd almost certainly feel fuller at a lower level of calories than drinking the juice.
Also, if this diet consists of only drinking juice then I'd not recommend it. Where is the protein? If you currently eat too much fat then by all means eat less but you need some. You also need vitamins and minerals.0 -

I tried a version of this where I ate food (veggies and fruits) and drank juice. I didn't feel hungry and the juice and food was very tasty. However, I wasn't trying it for weight loss - I did it because I have chronic hives just like Joe did in the movie. I've had them now since July 2003. I figured, hey, why not give it a shot?
It didn't help my hives at all (and now I've found a medication that is working wonders without having to take any steroids), but it wasn't a horrible way to eat. I could not have sustained it long term.0 -

Wow. I had no idea fruits and vegetables were just sugar, water, and fiber. Might as well take some Metamucil and drink a soda...
... come on. There's more to nutrition than that.0 -
Juicing diet will have you drop weight. However its not sustainable or realistic. Incorporating a veggie/fruit juice such as celery/carrot/apple is a great way to supplement your diet. My mom did a ton of juicing growing up and at one point we ate so healthy I didn't go to a doctor for illness for 4 years. Juicing is a great way to get some extra veggies in if you struggle with getting your nutrients. If your topic is true please go see your doctor and start a real diet plan that MIGHT include replacing one meal with a healthy veggie/fruit juice. I wish you luck.0

Juicing for healthy nutrients and suplementing into your diet HELL YES..juicing for extreme weight loss?. No. Not permanently. I have done 2 juicing fasts. losing a combined total of almost 40 lbs. i gained every bit of it back the minute i started eating solids again. And that includes eating healthy.
Juicing has amazing benefits, but shouldn't be your only form of food. incorporate into your healthy meals, supllment for a breakfast or lunch. it did amazing things to my skin, mental claritity, sleep etc. I still try to do a few juices a week.
best of luck,0 -
Agreed. I tried juicing, but unlike Joe - I didn't feel that it filled me up at all. I can't even skip a meal and replace it with juice - I'm starving by the time I get around to my next meal or snack.
It is, however - (like others have said) a good way of getting some extra nutrients into someone's diet. I'll juice a fair amount of vegetables for my husband who is diabetic (watching the fruit, of course), and it seems to help him out - as he isn't much of a vege eater. It's a way to get some really good nutrients into someone who doesn't consume much in the way of veges.
Joe is awesome, though. I wish I could have sustained the "juice lifestyle" for at least a week or two. But I couldn't. I turn into Betty White and need a snickers.0 -

I honestly believe it is a great way to reboot your life. It's a great way to cleanse your system, get rid of junk that is building up in there, and replenish your cells with the nutrients it needs. This is not something you want to do for the rest of your life but doing a 5 day, 10 day, or even 30 day cleanse will be very good for your body. There's a lot of people who think you need to have real food in order to be healthy, but honestly, if you are using various forms of vegetables and fruits to create your juices there is nothing wrong. There is nothing wrong with it because you are getting only the vitamins and nutrients you need. It's just to kick start your body into getting healthy again. I couldnt think of a better way to detox and give yourself a fresh start.
I did it for about 5 days and I saw some great results. I felt better, of course around day 3 and 4 I was moody and hungry, but thats normal. I felt lighter and I had more energy. I stopped after 5 days because my husband and I bought ingredients for the green juice mainly, and some other ingredients for other side juices.....I hated the green juice!! If I do this again, which I plan to, I will find another green juice to make and add many more juice recipes to our grocery list. It just an awesome way to flush and replenish your body and you will feel awesome afterwards!!!!! Fat Sick and Nearly Dead is such proof, why question it? Good luck!0 -
good info:0

IN for all the mental clarity, laser focus, boundless energy, clean colon, new lease on life, system reboot, stuff.0

The problem is none of this actually happens. Here's a thought, consume lots of nutrient dense foods with a good balance of protein, fat and carbs.....and you won't even have to stop after 5, 10 or even 30 days......sounds like alchemy I know, but what do you have to lose. :flowerforyou:I honestly believe it is a great way to reboot your life.

It's an infomercial for a juicer. If you love handing out money, there are all sorts of options with paid advocates and "amazing" results. Watch Dr. Oz and you can find a new "miracle" food or strategy to spend money on every week.0 -

How do I get a cup full of sugar from juicing mainly vegetables?
Also how is it terrible when I incorporate it into the rest of my eating?
I find it to be a great way for me to get a lot of micro nutrients in an easily absorbed source. There is no way I would eat apples, celery, carrots, spinach, cucumber and lime or lemon in one sitting. I think its great for breakfast, add some flax or chia seeds.. done. I find your comments misleading unless you clarify that mean when only juicing.0 -

Diets don't work. Don't diet. Juicing is especially faulty as a) juice doesn't fill you up, b) taking in 3+ servings of fruit, with some veggies thrown in, causes your blood sugar to spike, because unlike with eating fruits and vegetables, which have fiber in their whole form, which makes the sugar hit your system slowly (and fills you up) juice does not.
My suggestion? Stop looking for a quick fix. Instead, eat healthy foods in carefully controlled portions. A food scale and a set of measuring cups will be your best friends if you have portion control issues. Also, do not leave too much excess or any treat food around your house. If you're a drug addict and you hold on to the heroin while trying to quit, you'll probably use it. The same goes for junk food. If it's there, you'll eat it, so why put yourself in the position to fail?
You can look at my food diary if you would like ideas.0 -
A diet only of juice... eh. Regardless of health your jaw muscles with atrophy.
I suppose a juice for like a breakfast would be fine.0 -

A lot of juicers now actually use the whole fruit, so saying you only get the sugar and none of the fiber is incorrect.0 -

What a crock.0 -
I will occasionally juice if I'm going to spend the day trail riding and only have room for a water bottle in my saddle bag and don't have time to stop and eat something, plus drinking is more convenient when trotting and cantering all day. I'm not against juicing for a tasty treat either. Plus saving the pulp makes a great flavoring for foods.
Other than for supplementing a meal or making your own OJ or apple juice why not just eat at a reasonable deficit with your macros set at what works best for you (may take some experimenting 40c/30p/30f is a good starting point) and exercise a little everyday?
ETA: The body has a fabulous detox system in the liver, kidney, and intestines.0
