as far as the its' not fun or it's not easy- and doing it anyway only makes sense if there is an end goal beyond "because it seems like something to do". training for a marathon or a power lifting comp isn't always fun- and it's certainly not easy. But the end goal is worth it- and has legitimate mark-able goals. Juicing- other than to give yourself the runs.. not so much.

The very notion of only jucing should not been seen as an oddity. Afterall we all started as jucicers before we got hooked on solids which ironically has been man made junk. So I nothing wrong in taking a journey back to the very start with natural foods except this time I do it with a purpose.

This purpose of which you ask are

1 The personal challenge - no differnet from the examples you gave.
2 Internal cleansing or abstanance from man made made food and animal based food.
3 Inner awakening. I want to relive what I felt when I first fasted. (The feel was like nothing I ever experienced. My sense were heightened to levels never before exeperienced) even if for only 3 days.

3 was hunger, dude.

Occssionally I like to test my limits. Life has no limits so it's good to disprove the adage now and again.

So I am thinking perhaps a juice fast during the summer. Lets face it this is about the best time of the year to do it.

1 did 3 days juice fast but gave up. I hasten to add only because of social pressure. I guess it will be easier if this was done in some sort of group.

My target is 7 days. Anyone ready to go along the ride say next month?

What are you talking about? Life is full of limits!

This is seriously one of the most ridiculous, ill-advised propositions I've seen on the boards in a while. The OP seriously needs accurate information both about nutrition and living. I've lived a pretty long time and have certainly experienced my share of unpleasant events, but I don't intentionally choose to do something unpleasant (and stupid) so that the consequent relief from pain makes me feel better. Gee, life is hard enough as it it.

I did the 90 days last summer and lost 26 Lbs.

You could have lost 26 pounds in that same time frame following virtually any sensible diet, and quite a few nonsense diets too -- there is no magic here provided by the juicing. Simply eating X fewer calories than your BMR is all you need to do - pick the rate of loss and do the math. Consume fewer calories: set your weekly target to lose 1kg / 2 pounds and boom, there's your 26 pounds in three months.

I'm not just talking - that's basically the same rate I've been losing since last fall. 1kg a week / ~ 2 pounds a week, week in, week out. It's the same story for thousands of us here.

Juicing along won't help unless you exercise too. The weight only started coming off when I started adding 30 mins of walking to the juice fasting.

There may be some truth to this. If your body is loaded up with glucose you'll never get around to fat burning. Restoring your body's ability to switch from glucose burning to fat burning is made possible with exercise.

But it isn't the juice that lost you that weight, it's the reduced calorie intake.

If measuring out items into a blender makes it easier for you to monitor calories in, go for it. Myself I'd rather weigh some steak and chew on it!

By any chance does the OP sell juicers?

Likely not. Something tells me that the OP is just a troll that's bored.
