Juicing!!!

I find that fruit has magical powers when you extract it's fluid, and exclude all other food from your diet.

Sounds legit.


It's like magic...only real.

Every time I see this kind of topic I always think AAS haha.

This is a favorite recipe of mine!

1 4oz chicken breast
1 cup of quinoa
1 cup cooked kale
1 cup mixed berries
1 cup yogurt

Then you blend it all together! My body has a much easier time digesting things when they're pulverized. It kind of gives "eating like a bird" a whole new meaning!

ha ha!

I use one that blends the skin and all together. it's great to get additional servings of fruit and veggies but I feel like juicing is cool fora few days but otherwise a fad diet.

I saw the movie and like you purchased a juicer because of it. I don't regret the purchase and I use my juicer pretty much daily. The times I don't is when I run out of apples. I wont drink drink it with apples. I never did the fast because I just didn't have the heart. For me its just a way to get more nutrients into my body without actually eating the food. I have a daily juice of 2 apples, 6 kale leaves, handful of spinach, 2 carrots, 1/2 lemon, ginger, and a kiwi. I sometimes add other things if i have them available but that's my daily. The problem with juicing is twofold. The juice looks like puke and prep and cleaning is a pain. That's why most people stop. I will say this tho, once you drink fresh apple juice or orange juice, you won't go back.

I have done 5 day juice only diet and it was great. You really have to do 80/20 mix, where 80% is vegetables and only 20 is fruit to be able to provide your body with protein it needs.

Take a week before you want to go on juice to quit all caffeinated drinks and sugar.
3 days before eat only vegetables and fruit, cooked and fresh.
This will prepare your digestive system and your body will not be in a big shock. If you are a big coffee drinker, you might need an extra week to quit coffee and sugar. Be ready, your body will be in pain as it screams for it's drug.

When you finish your juice fast plan to come out of it slowly or you will mess up your digestive system. incorporate fresh fruit and veggies for couple of days, then cooked veggies, then slowly introduce other food. Take about a week to get back to regular eating. As you introduce different food listen to your body, you might be able to find what food your body is allergic to. I found that I am mildly allergic to dairy, not enough to know while eating dairy every day but did notice it after introducing it back to dies after fast.

If you do just 5-7 days of juice only, and 7 days before and 7 days after transitional period, that will be 21 days of strict diet. A big deal if you never done anything like this.

Done the juice fast, I want to say that from personal experience I see more benefit doing a juice fast for a day once a week, or for a meal , like dinner, for a period of time month or two.

I personally think that since our bodies fast while we sleep the best is to take advantage of it and do 24 hour fast dinner to dinner, but on weekly bases. This accomplishes more for health, in my opinion.

Good luck and let us know how you do!

There are two things to which "Juicing" could refer.

One is an a "quick fix" or shortcut intended to "jumpstart" some sort of supposed bodily improvement, that at best is useless, and at worst can wreak havoc on one's digestive system and nutritional balance.

The other is, of course, anabolic steroids.

Sadly, I opened this thread thinking it was the 2nd one. (sigh)

My uncle did a juice cleanse and he lost a ton of weight and has kept it off so far. It helped him with a lot of health problems he was having I'd recommend it. I'm planning on juicing my breakfast once I get enough $$ to get a juicer lol
