After two meals of only juice, I'd gnaw my own leg off, followed by that of anyone else who crossed my path. Just sayin'0

She calls the OP, or at least the OP's plan "stupidity" and you think my reply was the offensive post?? Or perhaps not , since you deleted the post to which I replied. (BTW - I work in healthcare too. Doesn't make me an expert on juicing)
Okay... how about this:
I find the idea of a 60-day juice fast to be foolish if the faster does not take sufficient care to supplement for the nutrients critical to a healthy life. Even then I find the idea of a 60 juice fast to be foolish because it accomplishes nothing that a health solid-food diet cannot accomplish with less discomfort to the dieter.
But... I'm still saying I think that a 60-day fast is stupid... but I'm saying it in a nicer way. I'm sorry my lack of diplomacy offended you. I find the attitudes expressed in this thread to be exasperating at best. I cannot help but ask: why do people insist on torturing themselves? I love food.
I'm really not attacking the OP. She sounds very enthusiastic about her choice... and it's her right to make that choice. It's a choice I disagree with, but it's still her right. For her sake, I hope she'll supplement if she decides to do this long term.
Stupid when not done correctly is something I can agree with. Whether it is the best choice is a purely individual thing. I would never consider it, but my preference certainly doesn't make anyone else's decision stupid. As long as they are doing it correctly, of course. :flowerforyou:0 -
When I can juice a bowl of pasta then I am down for it...until then, I have spinach tortelini on the menu tonight and I am not missing out on that!
I think a bowl of 'juiced' pasta is called paste. In the case of your dinner tonight, that's green paste.0 -
If you want to learn how to eat clean, why not just do that- start eating clean? Why juices? Losing weight fast can be dangerous- plus you can't stay on this diet forever.
I'm with most of these posters, I wish you well but if I had nothing to eat but juice for 60 days, I'd want to stab myself! LOL0 -

I have learned how to eat clean after juice fasting, but I've also incorporated Juicing into my daily life, and yes, it is very hard to do.0 -
I loved this doc! I think he had amazing results & I personally don't see anything wrong with juicing as long as you make sure you're getting the nutrients your body needs. it's important to get a variety of fruits & veggies! my aunt is really into holistic medicine and she does a 5-7 day cleanse 1-2 times a year just for general upkeep & she's healthy as can be.
I'd be really careful with how i ate when i came off the cleanse though, especially since you're doing it for so long. It's going to be hard on your body to start eating solid foods again and I would deff start small with raw / whole fruits and veggies. Red meat can be really hard on your system if you're not used to eating it so i would deff hold off on that.
good luck! (:
Cool

But if you eat clean, why do you have to do a juice fast too? I am not trying to be difficult here, just don't get the whole thing. I could NEVER drink my meals, but that's just ME! We are all different.0 -
:happy: I think it's so cool that people have INBOXED:bigsmile: me on information regarding JUICE FASTING!!! WOOOOHOOOO, WANTED TO SHARE THAT.
P.S. I did NOT put anyone on blast, I just understand that they don't want to be criticized :frown: for their interest, and all the mean people say, AMEN. ok just kidding, relax!
I don't know everything, learning is a never ending process, but I never encourage anyone to Juice fast for that long, if anyone truly read my topic they would know I didn't even do it for that long, but I definitely encourage people to incorporate it into their daily lives, this way you get all the fruit and veggie intake your body needs everyday!!! WOOT WOOT! Waiting for all the scientist, bioligist, nutritionist, dieticians, doctors to comment.

One of the things that can bother me on the forums, is the all-or-nothing-outlook and the sweeping, sometimes misinformed generalizations with little tolerance of others.
All juicing is bad.
High protein will kill you. Really. I know someone who DIED.
Every fad diet is evil.
MY diet is the ONLY way to live.
Carbohydrates will make you fat. All sugar is toxic.
And I've heard a million others.
I happen to love juicing and think it’s a great addition to a mostly whole food diet. It works for me. The movie mentioned that started this thread was very informative and kicked off my interest. A 100% juiced diet ISN’T for me, but I like it as supplement and I’ve had success with it. I particularly like my VitaMix that allows me to pulverize the pulp and skins and take in all the nutrients. I don't even consider it "juicing" exactly - it's much more than that.
My "juice" this morning was 12 red grapes, 6 strawberries, 2 oz of Greek yogurt, 1/2 C 1% milk, and 2 Cups of spinach. For my honey's smoothie, I added protein powder. Delicious.
Anyway, this is my humble opinion. And I support your right to have a different one.0 -
Sure you will lose weight , you are starving yourself. So what do you think will happen when you start eating regular food again? Your going to gain and gain fast. You will regret this bad habit in the long run. Good luck and I hope you don't end up in the hospital.0

LOL I love health documentaries. My in-laws saw one just before the holidays that made them decide to go vegan cold turkey, so they brought us all of the meat and cheese in their fridge.
Mil sure was sad a week and a half later when they fell off the wagon and I'd already eaten all her specialty goat cheese.0 -
Her concern is valid since none of us are experts in the field or nutritionists.
Actually - some of us are.0 -
I LIKE APPLE JUICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love orange juice!!! LoL0 -

Some opinions on your choice are way too abrasive, but they are opinions. I personally think giving your digestive system a break like we do everything else is not a bad idea. I love Dr. Fuhrman and his approach to health. Please just be careful with what you eat and drink after the fast. We all have to remember that any changes we choose to partake in may not be well received, but hey....It's your choice. Good luck on your journey!0 -

My daughter had a bad bike wreck when she was younger and her jaw was so sore that for a week or so she could not eat solid foods. She was so miserable that one night I put spaghetti in the blender for her. It looked just like canned dog food, but she said it tasted like spaghetti and asked for seconds.0 -

How are you starving yourself if you're meeting your caloric needs? I'm sure you could become malnourished if you're not taking proper care to ensure that you're getting all the nutrients you need, but that's not the same as starving from an extreme caloric deficit0 -
I have read some stupide things on these boards...but I must say the stupidest have been in thes thread0

AWESOME!!! SO I WILL BE ASKING YOU FOR ADVICE IN A MOMENT! LOL:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:0 -
the doc was great and very informative. i have to agree how are you starving yourself if you are getting the proper amount of calories?
I have considered a juice diet but found smoothies work better for me...yes i know i am not getting as many fruits and veggies as i could with juicing, but i figured it was a good way to get more then I was eating before...I have replaced 1 meal a day with a smoothie and also a snack. I also have switch to a more raw diet, with some whole grains and dairy...i have cheese issues, i love it too much but have cut down on it
Detoxing the body is not a bad thing in my opinion, not when doing it with plenty of calories and nutrients like you get in juicing. I can not even imagine the amount of "crap" that is built up inside of the body. As i have switched to a more raw food diet i can see a huge difference of the body cleaning itself out.
I highly doubt most people that are doing juicing or eating raw are going to go out after the diet and eat cheeseburgers...these are lifestyle changes not fads...learning about the effects of foods on the body is just amazing and I for one consider my lifestyle change a forever thing.
I watched another doc last night on netflix, fork over knife, also a good doc for those that are into raw eating.
The world and especially people of the US eat way too many processed food, fast foods, and not enough fresh foods.
Enjoy you short juice fast and enjoy your raw lifestyle!0 -
Then there's these crazy things we have called teeth...I would've preferred a bill and a long slurrpy tongue, or something, but it looks like the powers that be wanted me to chew stuff. Darn it!0

My husband and I watched the movie and we are thinking of doing the 10 day fast. And yes I have been eating healthier, but even the healthy foods lose many of the nutrients in the way we cook them. Juicing still keeps quite a bit of them. And it seems many of the posters have not researched or at least watched the movie they are hating on. He even says it is not a fix forever and the real work begins after the fast and he had his blood work done every 10 days and the results always came back healthier. He is not advocating going to jamba juice everyday and only drinking fruit smoothies, most of his juices are made with veggies. personally I think I will eat way more veggies juicing than I ever would cooking healthy meals at home, because I don't cook five sides of veggies with my meals.0
