40 Day Juicing Fast:)

Vixiedust

Hello Everyone,

I am embarking on a journey to lose weight on a 40 day juice fast. After watching the documentary, "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" I was inspired to juice for 40 days to jumpstart a healthier lifestyle. I encourage anyone interested to join me in this journey, we can do it together! I currently weigh 210lbs. I am 5'4, my goal weight is 150lbs.! So as you can see I have a long journey ahead of me. Please add me as a friend if you would like motivation or support, even if you aren't intrested in the juice fast. I am a great cheerleader!

To love, life and happiness, Cheers!:drinker:

Hi dreamupstream,

I saw that film too. It was incredible and gave me a kick start at the time and opened my eyes about our diets. I lasted about a week. I wasn't doing a full juicing diet but replaced a meal with the juice instead. I didn't stop because I got tired of the juicing but because it was way too expensive for me to maintain. Good luck to you.

How do you plan on getting your protein drinking only juice?

Just curious, IMHO the secret to weightloss is a healthy, balanced and low calorie diet. Can juice really bring you that or do you have to supplement with pills for the missing nutrients?

seems legit

Good luck on the juicing fast. I, too, saw the video and was motivated to give it a try. I did see some early results, However, the juicer ejector port would get clogged while in use, was very cumbersome to clean, and I didn't like throwing away the pulp and healthy fiber that was ejected from the juicer. After a couple of weeks, I was able to return the juicer and opted for a Vitamix blender that pulverizes the fruits and vegetables without the waste. Clean up is a cinch. Again, good luck to you. The results the from the video were amazing!

You're going to be drinking a lot of lettuce. I still wouldn't recommend doing it for the whole 40 days.

I've actually done this, and after the first few weeks of anger and agony and being pissed that i couldnt eat some mufking pizza, i just decided to lift weights instead. Worst 3 weeks of my life - and on a lighter note I feel better and look better now from doing 6 weeks of lifitng and eating right,

While there is no way on Earth I could ever mentally handle a juice fast, I wish you the best. Some people will be nasty about your decision but if your committed to it, then ignore them.

My thoughts exactly. I wouldn't last a week :laugh:

Not even an option for those of us taking insulin but I still wouldn't recommend it.

Good luck to you.

Whoops-typo.

Plus unless you make permanent changes after the fast, you will gain all the weight back.

I guess I always had a hard time buying into the cleansing stuff...Maybe it's just me.

I think it's a GREAT idea... and so do my physicians who are not drug pushers or diet pushers and advocate true health and wellness. Don't be afraid! Go for it!!!

It amazes me how many people make huge decisions in their life based on a movie.

Have you discussed this with your doctor and is he/she okay with it? I honestly would like to know what they say.

I went on a 30 day water fast and had no problems. I lost 40 pounds and then slowly gained it all back. I'm now eating 1700 calories for 6 months and should lose the same amount or more by eating which is better for me. However, the cleansing effect from my water fast was amazing. Good luck. Juice should be no problem.

Vixiedust

Yes I have, she gave me the okay to begin and I will be going to see her as often as id like. Im sorry this doesn't appeal to you, but you shouldn't have gone out of your way to bash on my plans. I wish you luck on your weight loss!

Vixiedust

No im not going to grind beef:) I simply added it to show how much protein it contains, which is why it is the easier route to take for protein intake.
