You know that Joe Cross guy from the documentary Fat Sick and Nearly Dead? Yeah I am going to do a 60 day juice reboot to not only lose some much needed weight but to also make it easier for me to transition into eating healthier foods.

I will never understand why people want to do these types of things to themselves but if it works for you, that's fantastic.0

You're body isn't a computer, you don't need a reboot.
There is no kick starting weight loss.
You can incorporate juice into your diet, but I wouldn't recommend an all juice diet. You're missing out on a lot of fiber of the foods you are juicing.
What's wrong with setting MFP to one pound a week and then counting your calories? I recommend that you go read some of these links:

How does drinking all of your meals help transition into eating healthier foods?0

Why would you want to do this? I really do not like to drink my calories. I saw the documentary. I don't think this teaches you how to eat properly and at a calorie deficit to lose weight. CICO.0

FS&ND is an advertisement. Definitely not a useful tool for health or weight loss.0

^^. Yupp. It's like an hour long infomercial disguised as a "documentary".0 -
Stay close to the toilet, it will be your friend for the next 60 days or so, maybe even move into the bathroom.
ETA: Stock up on toilet paper, make sure get the soft kind.
Good luck.0 -

Also, maybe some Tuck's hemorrhoid wipes or something for the inevitable irritation from all the pooping.0 -

How would nothing but juice for 60 days be an easier transition than eating fewer calories.
I also don't consider just juice a good model of healthy eating, but I'll admit that an even bigger issue is that I enjoy eating too much to do that.0 -
hmmm.... u can if u want to, but honestly, I don't think it's nutritionally sound. especially for 60 days.0

Come with me, if you want to live.0 -
Am I the only one that watched the 2nd movie and thought if you needed a "reboot" constantly that meant the plan was a failure and not anything that should actually be followed? It just promotes unhealthy yo-yo dieting - crash diet drinking juice, lose weight, eat regular food, get fat again - time for re-boot! crash diet drinking juice, lose weight, eat food, get fat and repeat - over and over. Why not just eat at a calorie deficit and skip all the nonsense and be kind to your body.0

It seems weird to me that you're going to "plunge" into 60 days of juicing to transition into healthier food choices. How can juice help you transition to solid foods? But hey, you're an adult and you can choose what you think will work for you... BUT... what if you just cut out the "middleman" (juicing), and just begin to transition into healthier food choices now? You can search for delicious recipes online using foods you already like. Little by little you add other foods that you think you'd learn to love... if that's the case, that you hate certain foods. :flowerforyou:0

I have been juicing for over 3 months and I love it. I started with a 17 day juicing only. It took care of my addictions such as caffeine, sugar, and carbs. I now crave and love veggies, fruit, nuts, etc. My skin is glowing now. I have lost 23 lbs and have no problem keeping that off. In fact, 13 of those are from the juice fast. My blood pressure has gone down, and I have a lot more energy. My taste buds have changed. Yes, the truck driver (Phil) gained all his weight back, but he maintained it for a few years. After a divorce, he went back to fast food. Duh, anyone who resorts to their old eating habits will gain it back. Also, I am friends with Phil on facebook, and he just finished another 30 day juice fast. He is getting back to it. Juicing isn't a once and for all. I have a juice for breakfast and then eat the rest of the day (which has been totally different than before juicing.) I have had no sugar treats since I have started, and it has been so easy. I don't even crave those foods now. As far as the bathroom, yes, you will pee a lot. That's good. Your body is flushing out toxins and fat. As far as the bowel movements, maybe the first few days, you will have a few bouts. Your body is cleaning out. After the first few days, it's easy. But, not everyone does a juice fast. Many juice and eat. I know that once you start juicing, you will be addicted. Yes, you will be addicted to nutrients! Crazy, I know.0

Name one toxin you have flushed out that your kidneys and liver are apparently incapable of doing.0 -
Juice is fine, whatever, although I really don't see what's so hard about just eating vegetables and fruits with the fiber included.
The problem is with a 60 day juice fast. And specifically (IMO) the absence of fiber and adequate calories and protein and fat.
Also, the levels of woo around the whole fasting thing are cringeworthy.0 -

I didn't know you could pee out fat. I'm going to pee more!0 -

Strong first post.....SMH
OP....that movie is not a documentary & Joe sells juicers (surprise, surprise). Adopting healthier eating habits is a lifetime commitment and a 60 day fad diet is not going to help you develop sustainable habits.
