I just watched the documentary today. I have been doing Dr Joel Furhman's Eat To Live Program for 8 months but I need a boost. I have gotten sloppy and while on vacation for two weeks let myself eat whatever I wanted. My carb addiction is back with a fury so I am going to start as soon as I finish reading all of the intro information on the reboot website and get a juicer. wondering how are you doing and if you got started yet?

After watching the movie, "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" my wife and I decided that we would try out a reboot diet. What threw us off initially was that we had planned to do a multi-day 5-10 day fast and ended up seeing PDF materials on the Reboot Your Life site which promoted more of a Juice + Meal approach.

So we tried the 5-day and found that we couldnt stick to the Juice + Perscribed Meal plan for longer than a day or two due to upset stomachs and food cravings, but juicing for the first few days still seems to have helped us to reset some bad habits. Actually, the biggest thing is that helped us to get focused enough to get ourselves on a low calorie plan. Since then, we have incorporated juicing into our lifestyle as well as several lessons learned from that first week of experimentation. In the end we ended up with what I guess you would call a Paleo diet through which I've dropped roughly 15lbs in 30 days.

I "think" I would have probably lost more doing a juice fast rather than taking a juice + food approach - however much of what I'm reading recommends against losing more than 2lbs per week which I seem to already be doing by spreading things out into six meals a day and replacing 1-2 of each of these meals with juicing, or a fist full of unsalted nuts. Well see if this approach continues to work for me, if not - I'll probably try to switch things up again by doing a 5-day or a 10-day plan. At least now I know I'm going to have to work my way into it slowly...

The big question that I have right now is what constructive things can we do with all of this expensive, left over, organic fiber from the juicer..? Best thing I've been able to come up with is going heavy on the veggies (Kale, Carrots, Cucumber and Celery) and putting the leftovers in the fridge for later use in soups, or in low carb wraps with a bit of mustard and chipolte sauce. I've been making wraps all week and they seem to be a low calorie way to fill me up / I just dont know if its healthy to try this approach for too long (I can already tell you that I dont have very much energy to do anything throughout the day).
