I'm thinking about buying a juicer, just watched a documentary on netflix called Hungry for Change and it mentioned this. One girl on there said she juiced for three days and dropped 7 pounds right away. So I'm considering it.

Dropping fast weight is usually just water weight and food waste leaving your system. As soon as you start eating normally again it will all come back.0

I haven't tried it, but I've been meaning too. I watched "Hungry for Change" too and if you haven't seen "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead" (also on netflix) GO NOW.
I'm going to fast tomorrow with smoothies made in my vitamix because I'm sick, but it's just one day and I'll be eating the WHOLE FRUIT and not the juice so I doubt I'll see any benefits or whatever.0 -

I watched "Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead" last April and decided to give it a try! I lasted about a week and then gave up! but I lost some weight and managed to keep a little of it off lol. I think if your dedicated to it it will probably work, I have read things and watched videos of people who swore by it and said it was the only way they could lose the weight! Anyways good luck!0 -
I love juicing.
It helps me with fruits and veggies given my hate for things that don't bleed...:bigsmile:0 -
If you get a juicer, get a gear extraction juicer. They get way more juice out for you. And, the centrifugal ones suck for greens. Period.0

Quick fixes aside, I just don't 'get' juicing.
I mean, smoothies are where it's at.

We juice in my house but not to the extent that some do. We don't use it as a "diet", but more as a supplement to our lives. We use the extraction for the reasons that Topher stated.0

I was obsessed that Fat Sick and Nearly Dead and the juicing concept for a while! I dropped weight fast and I felt WONDERFUL by the 3rd day in of my fast. I fasted for 7 days. While I did feel fantastic, I couldn't stop thinking about food the entire time! I did like it, but most likely won't do it again. But I do plan on incorporating some juices into my lifestyle now.0

I'm not fasting but I do like making juice in my VitaMix. It's great after work and before dinner so I don't snack on junk.0

I'm changing my diet to a plant based diet before I go on a juice fast. They do suggest that. Check out Dr Joel Fuhrman on Youtube and you can get a lot information there. Also try to pick up the book "Eat to live" by Dr Fuhrman. After you fast you want to continue with a plant based diet. So you don't gain the weight back. Feel free to add me. There isn't too many people on this site that is for the juicing.0

I have an omega 8006 juicer and I LOVE IT! I have done a 30 day juice fast in the past. I didn't lose massive amounts of weight, but I did break my addiction to certain foods and I felt absolutely AMAZING while on the fast. I went very heavy on the greens and light on the fruit.
Juicing is a fabulous way to increase your vegetable intake and to retrain your palate to appreciate the flavor of REAL FOOD!0 -
We juice (and LOVE our Omega 2004) but don't use it for juice fasting. Instead, I have green juice (with some fruit) as a regular and highly nutritious part of my regular food intake (when I take the time to juice). I wouldn't use juicing as a diet to lose weight quickly. Weight lost too quickly usually comes back quickly. Slow and steady wins the race.0

Great for getting the nutrients in but high in sugar if you use too much fruit. I try and stick to mostly veg. Celery, carrot, beetroot & ginger is my fav0

i just watched hungry for change the other night! and now i'm obsessed with the fact that MSG is hiding EVERYWHERE! sigh.0

Fat, sick, and nearly dead is a good movie about juicing also. My uncle went on a juice fast and lost a bunch of weight and improved his heart health (he was on a bunch of medication and doesn't need it anymore). He is currently doing great and has kept the weight off and maintains a healthy diet.0

I got a juicer last week and love it! I feel better already0

Funny thing is, back in"the day", JUICING used to mean taking steroids. But I guess that's a different arena (competitive weightlifting and bodybuilding)....0
