I would like more info on this please if someone could help? I wanted to do the juicing reboot thing to start out but a lot of people are giving bad reviews for juicing so much. I'm just trying to find something that will help me lose a large amount of weight.

    Juicing does nothing to "reboot" your system. Your body cleans itself out naturally all the time. No need to do such things.

    Caloric deficit means eating less than what your body is burning.

    This is the standard advice @ndj1979 gives to those starting out..

    1. Enter stats into MFP and set for x amount of weight loss.
    2. Eat to the number that MFP gives you.
    3. get a food scale and weigh all solid foods, and as many liquids as possible.
    4. log everything
    5. make sure that you are using correct MFP database entries
    6. realize that there are no bad foods and that while the majority of foods should come from nutrient dense sources, there is nothing wrong with having pizza, ice cream, cookies, etc, as long as ones micro and macro needs are met.
    7. macro setting are typically .85 grams of protein per pound of body weight; .45 grams of fat per pound of body weight; fill in rest with carbs.
    8. find a form of exercise that you like and do it < not necessary for weight loss, but is for overall health and body comp.

    And a good post to help you get going and understand all this..
