Why juice it? Just eat the stuff.....This whole juicing thing is really kind of crazy......as if turning it into juice somehow magically transforms the nutrients into muscle building/fat burning/energy restoring magic molecules.

why shoot for mediocre?

A number of people on this site have watched it and regularly comment on how inspired they are and how they plan to make changes to their lifestyle.

If one of them would like to come into this thread and post their success as a result of following the plan laid out I'd be very impressed.

Because from what I can tell, it's a biased documentary full of half-truths and propaganda made to sell expensive blenders.

But I am more than willing to be proven wrong.

Watched it. Was not swayed by the propaganda. Decided to just eat food. Lost weight.

I juiced a 24 oz New York Strip steak, a loaded baked potato, and two slices of Texas Toast before I ate them last night, and I did not gain a pound. It has to work.

I have watched this film and been inspired, too. I have completed several short (3, 4 days) juice cleanses before, but I am highly skeptical of trying to replicate what Joe Cross did in FSND. First, he was completely removed from his normal environment -- his home, his work, his friends, his family. All he had to do, really, was juice.

Second, I fear that a lot of people see what he did and think, "Great! I can lose 80 lbs in three months by juicing!" and that makes it no better than a crash diet.

I have lost a few pounds on my short juice cleanses, but have gained all of that weight back because only a sustainable, long-term nutrition solution promotes long-term weight loss. There are no short cuts, even through juicing.

But if you're interested, you should talk to your doctor first. You can probably still get where you want to with clean eating, rather than a juice-only diet.

can pizza be juiced?

michelleokelly5

I think Juicing should only be used on rare occasions as a detox. You know.. After a week long vacation of crap food and alcohol. To me, a healthy diet is one that can be maintained for a lifetime. Juicing is not something that you can sustain yourself on. It is expensive and you can get the same nutrients from eating the fruit and veggie as a whole for a whole lot less money.

You mean you really want the sugar and vitamins without that pesky fiber?

thatcrazykat

Seems like juicing would only let your body digest things faster and you would get hungry sooner? Not sure I can buy into it.

jenbit

just think of it this way chewing burns calories so instead of juicing chew whatever you want to juice. Healthy fruits and burning calories win win lol

I liked the documentary. I don't have a juicer, nor am I planning on buying one. I try to incorporate fruits and veggies in my diet daily. To get some extra greens in, I put a few handfuls of kale or spinach in my protein shakes with some frozen strawberries, protein powder, and almond milk. I use it as pre/post workout shake. It is delicious! It has helped curb my late night cravings.

vim_n_vigor

When fruit and veggies are in season at the farmer's market, we'll make our own juice instead of buying it. The kids love coming up with their own combinations. Spinach and cucumber even make it into most of them. We gladly drink our juice along with our food though...

Not sure if srs. What would you be detoxing exactly? What advantage does this have over your body's natural detoxification process? How does this "juice" "detox" exactly?

Well , no one can juice forever. As such, they'd gain back all the weight .

I think people here are missing the point.

The point of juicing is for people that otherwise wouldn't eat massive amounts of green leafy vegetables and colorful veggies and fruits... to well... consume them somehow.

I just CAN'T eat a pig's trough full of greens each day. I just won't. I can eat a large salad bowl, and do sometimes, but not a 2 gallon bowl. So I have learned to consume those fruits and veggies in green smoothies.

But for some, the consistency of all that extra fiber is too much. Or it messes with their digestion. For those people, I would say juice...

Is a pure juice diet sustainable? Of course not. Would a 10 day juice fast followed up with a 5 day per week "juice only" lunch be a great way for people to eat WAY more veggies/fruit, consume less calories, and get the nicronutrients from a raw food kind of diet?

ABSOLUTELY.

Check out my profile and open diary for how I usually eat 3-4 days worth of about 64 ounces of green smoothies. I've been doing green smoothies for workdays for 2 years. I'm not thin obviously... but it's helped me from being twice as huge.

retiree2006

Watched it several months ago, impressed with the weight loss but not in how it was achieved. He was under a doctor's care often and when you can achieve similar results by just eating in a healthy way...why go extreme?

Hey people, juicing has its purpose -- have you ever tried pouring vodka into a whole apple?!

Actually, instead of juicing Jac i did "AIRING" i turned my food into air and ate that. I lost 101lbs in a 4,000 a day calorie diet of air.
