Juicing fast?

brianpperkins

You thanked them in a manner that indicated they agreed with anything you had to say when they explicitly said they didn't. That was what prompted my laughter then reply.


So far you have injected all of the typical flawed concepts into this thread. "Jump start" .. a video from a guy selling a plan, juicers, etc as a basis to support a position ... then when countered with fact and logic you accuse others of "not contributing to the convo". Your posts are a cliche on MFP.

It prompted your laughter because similar to the way you hone in on an irrelevant point passively introduced and badger it and also as you have misinterpreted the majority of my responses, you took it the wrong way.

@BrianPerkins2015 every question or inquiry as to my motivation and beliefs and experience on the topic have been answered. scroll up re read I won't repeat them for you they are there. I believe YOU wanted to talk about being fallacious in our responses? Look at yourself! argumentum ad hominem.... argument of repetition.... cherry picking to name few. Ive answered your questions. I don't accuse many others of not contributing mainly you.

Personally I'm not a fan of the juicing, but some people prefer to judge and nit pick what people say rather then have a positive conversation.

99% of people gain their weight back. Stop using that as an argument to discredit a certain "diet".

I don't think the lack of protein is a huge problem. Most people think If they keep their proteins high during weight loss they'll be left with all this muscle they think they've built up underneath the fat for all these years...wrong. Unless you've been strength training while you've been gaining weight, you'll be surprised with how little muscle is actually there.

I know you already replied to rabbitjb on this, and based on your response to her, we're on a similar wavelength.

Just want to add a different perspective. Your first response sounded as if, by reflex, you were thinking like a younger, stronger, fitter person - all good stuff, BTW.

As a li'l ol' lady, I'm highly motivated to hang on to the absolute maximum possible of my tiny, weak, pathetic li'l ol' lady muscles. They're one of the major things that keep me off the slippery slope toward hip fractures, assisted living, and other undesirables - problems I see around me in other women my age and older. And strength is a struggle to regain, at my age & sex.

I'm losing weight to improve my health picture, but there's obviously more to health than weight. So I absolutely want to eat enough protein, stay active, and (yes) lift weight while losing, just to keep the odds on my side.

That makes juice fasts (or other multi-day adventures in limited nutrition) seem like a particularly Bad Plan.

(P.S. to the easily alarmed or offended reader: The "tiny, weak, pathetic" was hyperbole, for effect. I'm actually pretty fit and strong, all things considered. . . and want to stay that way.)

@brittny0627 (please take note that I mentioned the right person, unlike you in your last post) nothing you've contributed has been of use. It is all fallacy based which is why so many people in this thread disagreed with you. From "jump start" to watch this video ... all wrong answers that you then keep referring to as you've answered. As I said, your posts are cliches on MFP and even the posts you thank people for are contradicting the content of your posts.
