Juice Cleanse??
Replies

Pretty sure I did not advocate an eight day cleanse. Pretty sure I said we didn't consider it a cleanse and I did not recommend the eight day part. I think the advice I gave was one 24 hour period, if she wanted to be a little intense (one day of fasting, especially with nutrients, is not detrimental), or to replace a meal to help with the plateau thing. I just wanted to share a positive experience. I have no idea why people need to get on and start getting sarcastic or dogging on people. This happens way too often...
Apparently we think its magical too. I wish people that only care about being rude would remove themselves from the conversations because many other people have given me good advice on how they like juice or dislike juice. I'd like to say thanks to those of us that aren't immature and help each other!0 -
(Juice) cleanses can be benificial in weight loss, making your body more efficent at releasing toxins...
Please oh please name ONE toxin...Please, I dare you.0 -
I'm sure no one will agree with me, but my wife and I did an eight day juice cleanse before our wedding last year. We didn't really consider it a cleanse, as we were ridiculously healthy back then, anyway. But I get your point. I like keeping my body guessing and myself a little out of it and confused.
As far as the juice goes, it should be fresh. We have a juice that uses centrifugal force to extract the liquids. You should by no means go on a fast or cleanse or whatever using store bought juice. Too much sugar and badness in there, IMO.
We do our best to juice organic for the ones that count (look up the dirty dozen, twelve fruits / veggies that should always be organic, due to high levels of pesticide or whatever else). We also make sure to juice a crazy ton of veggies, not just fruits. Spinach, chard, kale, beets, red cabbage, green cabbage, asparagus, cucumber, bell paper, tomato, celery, carrot, etc. As for fruits, go for the gold, nutritionally speaking: lemons, limes, organic apples, oranges, melons, strawberries, etc. Make them superfoods as often as possible and organic where necessary.
Now, probably don't do this for eight days with nothing else. It's effing intense. You should probably just do one day of juice fasting at a time, if you want to fast. Otherwise, just replace a meal with the fresh juice you make. It makes you feel terrific and, despite what all of the haters will say, you won't suddenly lose muscle or go into a coma or pass out. Just be sure to listen to your body, get plenty of water, and don't exercise intensely if you do a juice fast. Just yoga, stretching or walking.
Have fun! Let me know if you have other questions.
Thank you for a post that actually has experience behind it. And yea, I doubt I could handle ONLY juice for too long because I love my food. But I definitely want to drop my plateau and think it would be a good change up! I'm going to the store soon writing down all the new veggies I will need and all that! Thank you for the the help!!
Joy pick the only post that agrees with you and ignore the rest... How typical of MFP. Gud Luk on your gurney. :flowerforyou:
Don't think I am not considering the other posts Miss Crank Lady. I was thanking him for actually having some knowledge behind what he was saying and not being a Mister Cranky Man. Good luck on your spelling
anyone advocating an eight day juice cleanse is really not that knowledgeable...
Listen everyone. I did not post this for a big dumb fight about it. Yes, everyone has their own opinions! I asked for people that knew what juicing was like or about not for people to tell me I poop and pee so why drink juice. Thank you ndj1979 I appreciate your advice as well! I'm getting a food scale and cracking down on measurements as well! I'm not looking for a magical diet. Just a change in my routine for a little while to potentially help my weight loss. I responded to her post because if I irritate her so badly because of which posts I chose to respond to she can complain to someone who cares. Now, if we could all end this lovely arguing I have plenty of advice now and clearly shouldn't post questions on here anyway. If I can't post a question without people being rude or dumb and the fight then why post one at all.
Thank you for the advice everyone!
Because this is a public forum and I am far from cranky sweetheart. :flowerforyou: I am amused by the thought of juice being magical. But do please go on.
Please do grow up, I'm 19 and asked a question and I called you out for being rude to me. Now, you, a "grown woman" is posting pictures to be rude as well. Thank you for showing us how mature you are. now I'm going back to the people with advice, thank you again.0 -
I don't juice cleanse. I just drink a LOT of water on a daily basis. That's all the body needs.
This! :drinker:0 -

I bet the gif was posted to lighten things up and be funny. NOT to be rude. You are perceiving it as rude, but if you take a step back and really think about it. A lot of threads, people post gifs for a comic relief effort.0

Nothing I said was rude. *shrug* This is a public forum, I made an observation. Not everything is going to be sunshine and roses sweetheart.0 -

So what you really want is someone just to agree with you and say yes, it's a great idea. Then you should put that in your main post. Though it still won't stop the ones against it because there are "lurkers" that will read. We are also trying to help them learn that juicing/fasts/detoxes are unnecessary.0 -
disagreement =/= rude.
No, but the condescending tone, like referring to her posts as "typical" for MFP. Sarcastically writing Gud Luk on your gurney, or however you phrased it. Not reading my details, but seeing the details you wanted to see and then misquoting me as advocating an eight day cleanse. I'm sorry, didn't you comment on the OP picking out comments they liked, only to then pick select details from my post, without even regarding what was actually said? Hypocritical?
And, yes, I get totally sick of sarcastic, rude posters trying to be more insulting by posting a GIF. Truly, not the most mature reaction from an adult on a forum about health and fitness. Like OP said, it's nice when people try to help each other, not when they are rude, dismissive, flippant, sarcastic, etc. Especially when they try to write it off as a formal disagreement. Your disagreement =/= rude comment was ridiculous. You absolutely are rude.
I see you writing even more posts just now, referring to the OP as "sweetheart." Are you saying that is intended genuinely? You aren't being flippant or sarcastic when you say that?0 -
Okay, so I am moving past the arguments because I do not have time for that and would like to continue with everyones helpful advice starting now:0

In which post exactly was I rude?
Also, you can't get TONE from text. You can only perceive it. Maybe some people were rude but honestly, people here tend to be blunt.

This! People take the time out to help out so many people in these forums with advice, and personal experiences. Not everything is going to be sugar coated.0 -
If I message MFP will they just close this stupid thing? I got the advice I need. None of us need the negativity. :yawn:0

yes, I stand corrected..you recommended a 24 hour juice cleanse to a teenager...not an eight day one.0 -

It will probably get closed anyway as MFP doesn't promote unhealthy practices.0 -
Okay, so I am moving past the arguments because I do not have time for that and would like to continue with everyones helpful advice starting now:
So getting back to the original post:
A. You can't spot reduce.
2. Juice cleanses do not work as there is nothing to cleanse.
- Keep plugging along with exercising and maintaining a deficit and eventually that extra fat will go away. The body will get rid of it when it's ready0 -

Yes, because if you sugar coat *kitten*...you still just have *kitten*. Amirite???0 -

Due to the reactions the mods will probably remove it soon.
And because of this too:It will probably get closed anyway as MFP doesn't promote unhealthy practices.
But really no one is being negative, people are blunt and straight forward because there are like 4 of these threads every day, and cleanses don't work.
Wish you luck on your journey! :flowerforyou:0 -

I did a 7 day juice diet and collapsed at the gym. Don't waste your time. If you have hit a plat your clearly either;
a. not recording your calories correctly or
b. eating to many calories
If you want to do something to add a bit a variety to your weightloss journey then I suggest one or more of the following
a. Take up a new physicall activity
b. try some new receipes
c. try new food you haven't eaten before
d. have a few days of from calorie counting and eat what makes you happy then go back to it.0 -

Everyone have a good day and stay a child it suits you well 0
