How much and how often are you drinking the juice?

Day 2 started. I'm doing ok so far. It's helping that im eating fruits and veggies for one meal instead of just juicing. This morning I had three handfuls of spinach, two green apples, one cucumber, and some parsley. It was kinda sour but grew on me quickly. First day at work doing this....hopefully I won't have any issues!

are you eating them raw only?

husker_gal

yep. The veggies and/or fruits that are being eaten whole are raw.

Day three...going ok so far. I'm not feeling the greatest but I'm guessing that's just me detoxing. I am very glad that I decided to do this so far. I think all the fruits and veggies are really going to help my healthy in the long run and I'm going to continue to do atleast one large or two small juices a day after I'm done just because the vitamins and minerals in the fruits and veggies and the enzymes are soooooo good for you and this is such a great way to get a high dose of them all in one easy drink.

husker_gal

This is getting easier. I'm finding better and better combinations for juices. I had one tonight that was three handfuls of spinach, one red apple, handful of black berries, handful of green grapes, and a handful of red raspberries. Served over ice...very yummy

Also, I found this recipe website for anybody else who cares to check it out. http://www.fernsnutrition.com/juicer_recipes.htm

2 handfuls of spinach
2 or more cups of water

1 apple
1 orange
1 banana
2tbsp flax seed meal

Omgsh...I watched this too...and was so motivated! I am just starting on day 3. I did fine yesterday...but was definitely jealous of others eating real food. BUT I am so glad I remained strong because I woke up this morning and I have already lost 11.8 pounds!

yeahfatty

this sounds interesting .. can't wait to hear how it works out for you. (:

I've done juice fast for one week periods whenever I feel the need to cleanse my body, and usually will do the light meal as well, usually just fruits and veggies in the light meal. It has been really helpful, but by the end of the week, I don't usually have the energy to do my regular workouts. As soon as I start eating normally though, I can tell that I have a boost of energy from before, I feel healthier, and I see the difference in my body. Good luck!

husker_gal

Mmmmmm...that smoothed recipe sounds yummy! Day four today and I've really discovered I don't like carrot juice. Even mixed with other juices I just can't find a combination that I like. I'm choking it down though.

hmires

Day 4 started...over 15 pounds lost now! So crazy. Feel great too.

Steelytop

That's amazing!

husker_gal

15lbs that IS amazing! I'm starting day 5 today...I'm guessing the fact that I'm still eating a light meal is playing a roll in why my weight loss numbers are not very large at all BUT I'm not doing the juicing for weight loss but rather to improve my over all healthy. I'm hoping to stick to what I'm doing for a looooooooooooong time I definitely am shedding a lot of toxins though! I won't mention how cuz it's gross but yeah...looots of toxins getting outta me. :blushing:

So I'm dropping off the strictly juice and raw veggies plan. I am really starting to feel terrible (beyond just the bad start that is supposed to happen) I am getting depressed and am in so much pain I can't hardly stand it. I will still be drinking fresh juice in the mornings but am going back to a better balanced diet with healthy natural fats and, protein, fruit, veggies, and limited carbs about (100/day) Thank you to everybody for their support and I wish everybody the best of luck if they decide to do a juice fast!

If you need more juice recipes let me know. I have a list of probably 30 that I really like. Every thing from alkizing green juice to sweet potatoe.

carlxo21

I want in on this juice fast! Does anyone have good recipes? what fruits and veggies do I need?

Steelytop

See above posts. There are plenty of recipes and lists of ingredients.

I too decided to drop off of mine (I was using a blender instead of a juicer) I felt ok I just didnt like beeing in the mind set of "I can only eat this" I found that I am still losing and that I feel better knowing I can eat what I want weather I do or not.

I too wish all of you luck
