    I can't wait to start this! I am breastfeeding now, but as soon as I am done, my husband and I are trying it for 10 days.

    Since I know many bad comments will probably come, Ill start with something nice. You hair is beautiful :D

    And I think clean eating and exercise is a better way to go than juicing :flowerforyou:

    To each there own, there is benefits to juicing and there is benefits to whole food eating. Just be carefully what you put in your body after your juice fast, weight will go on quickly if don't eat right. Do you research and do it right. Good luck!

    I saw that film as well, and though I am glad it worked for him, I really feel like, at least for me, its an incredibly unrealistic approach to weight loss and healthy living because it's very hard to maintain.

    I've been meaning to watch that film just because I hear so much about it. Personally, I could not do a juice fast because I love to eat too much, but then I don't have 90 lbs to lose, so perhaps I'd feel differently if I did.

    Good luck to you though!

    You can accomplish the same thing with safer, sane methods. Just eat a healthy diet filled with REAL food. Eat at a calorie deficit. Exercise. No need to starve. No need to drink your meals.

    Also- food for thought- you could do some SERIOUS damage to your body by juice fasting for 60 days. A week is probably not gonna hurt ya. Two weeks is pushing it. But 60 days????????????????? Absolutely stupid.

    I know what you mean. This topic is alway kinda out of control when it comes to the critics. But thanks for the laugh. To the OP, good luck to you. I hope you have done your research, because there is going to be alot of negitivity coming at you.

    I have to agree that eating healthy and exercising is the best and safest way to lose weight. I have tried just about every diet there is because I wanted to be the perfect "thin". I have never kept it off for any length of time. Now at 43, I want to be healthy, strong, a good example for my teenagers and I want to live as long as possible. The juice fasting is not healthy - it isn't a balanced diet. The weight will NOT stay off for very long, but I understand the desire for a quick fix. Been there, done that.

    Is there a correlation between fasting and caps lock? I won't argue causation.

    I just want to add my opinion. Losing a lot of weight too quickly is extremely dangerous. Just be careful. :)

    I'm a Vita_mixer, have been doing it for about 2 months, and LOVE IT. I replace breakfast and a snack with juicing - and it's been amazing.

    WIll respond quick and exit before the ugliness shows up. LOL The juice fast itself is great, you get your calories in, get plenty of green juices in there and not just fruit juices, drink plenty of water, etc HOWEVER it is how you BREAK the fast and what you do after is what really matters. So do it right and do it for however long you feel good about it. And get on a board that talks about juice fasting specifically -- that will help too. I like juice fasting however it did not teach me how to eat properly and so I won't do it again, until my eating right (for me) is a strong foundation. In other words, I will not do it for weight loss (again) but because I want to. Good luck and best wishes on your journey. OK, exit right -->

    Thank you for the compliment, and you are absolutely right, but while juice fasting, I'm learning to eat clean and healthy, so this really helps me.:happy:

    You go, girl! Protein and fiber and not feeling hungry all the time are totally overrated!
