Thinking about doing this but do you both feel that you could still do cardio exercises or are you to tired?

I'm on day 9. I binged on day 7 so I redid it. I felt guilty and on day 8 my juice exploded and I had no other choice but to eat fruits and veggies. Sometimes you don't have time and have to grab food fast. I'm glad I chose my juice foods though.

Hi, My husband and I started juicing on Jan 21. We are on day 9 and today I felt hungry, lol. Day one we teased each other about food. All the commercials, friend's child (over weigh child 19) saying "I'm starving".
Day two I had to work and I came home and slept from 4:45pm to 6:45am. I felt better in bed, away from the commercials and I had the worst headache and didn't take anything for it. Also, I drank a lot of caffeine and now I wasn't. I blame the headache on it.
Day three not too bad, not hungry really. I work at an elementary school and often get asked to do lunch duty, opening ketchup, juices, etc, and I made it. I also had lunch duty on the day before.
Day four not bad. Went to doctor and because my husband needed more protein I bought peanuts and he got almonds (unsalted) Loved eating them, but ate a small amount) Lunch duty was easy and I got a few apples from the children,
Day Five not bad and still had some peanuts
Day Six Bought salted peanuts by mistake, ate them anyway and payed the next morning
Day Seven Not bad

Also, we found the "Naked Juice" and buy them at Wal-Mart for about 2.68. My husband bought them one day three.

Good luck... We are trying to make it to day 10 eat a salad and then continue...

Yesterday was my first day of juice fast. It went pretty well, I did have dull headache from caffeine withdrawal. I wasn't particularly hungry; I felt like I was just drinking juice all day long and when I wasn't drinking juice I was trying to drink water.

Today is day two and my headache is much worse. I'm on the fence about taking an advil. I'm trying not to take anything but geez I can barely stand it. I have chronic headaches and usually take advil several times a day. I might take just one instead of the usual dose of two and se if that helps. Other than that I feel pretty good today :drinker:

Today is day 3 of my modified juice fast ( I consumed juices for breakfast and lunch) and then had a sensible dinner. I enjoyed the juices I made. I feel great. Has anyone experienced bad breath during their fast and if so, what did you do ?

Hi Taylor, sounds like you are doing great! The modified fast is something I have considered doing, too. Before my juice fast I was having juice for breakfast and then eating the rest of the day. I haven't had any bad breath issues (at least I don't think so! :laugh: ) but I would probably try to drink more water and see if that helps at all.

Hi Red, wow! Day 24! That's fantastic! I'm also following the New Year New You Guide and I like having it for reference although I've already started experimenting with some other recipes not included in the guide but that I think are in the spirit (or rather color) of the guide recommendations. You are a real inspiration!

I'm on Day 4 and I've lost 3 pounds so far. It's nice waking up each day so far and being a pound lighter! That really helps my motivation! I'm also enjoying the juice fast. I can easily see making this a quarterly ritual in my healthy lifestyle. My goal is ten days and I've considered going longer but this is my first reboot so the entire thing in a big experiment. My birthday is in a couple of weeks too so if I extend my fast I won't be eating for my birthday and I don't know how I feel about that, either. I know I love juicing though! :drinker:

Hi All, I'm on day 1 of my juice-fast. It's 1pm, I've had 2 juices and I'm already feeling a little light-headed! I'm drinking lots of water, while my colleagues around me are tucking in to their yummy smelling lunches.

Is it normal to feel like this half way through the first day?

I did feel a little strange on day 1 and I just kept drinking water and coconut water and more juice. I find that if I go too long between juices I do start feeling lightheaded so my advice is drink more juice! I have a juice in the morning before I leave for work, and when I get to work coconut water, and around 11 am I will start my lunch juice because I am hungry, and then I usually sip on that for a couple of hours until it is gone and dive right into my afternoon snack juice. Most of the juices I have been making are anywhere between 20-40 ounces each and I have been counting calories still (I know - no reason to do that other than habit I guess) and by the end of the day I am still only at like 1050-1200 calories even with juice overload. I also have dinner juice when I get home followed by dessert juice. Make sure you are having enough veggie juices and not just fruit juices because fruit alone will make your energy rise and fall too quickly.

Here is the plan I am basically following, maybe you will find it helpful ...

Stick with it and drink more juice! You can do it! :drinker:

Hayley - I hope you are still doing good with the fast! This is not low carb but at least it is all fruits and veggies and you know those are healthy!

Kim - I tried that recipe too and it was very good! I put in on my approved juices list lol!

Fitmommy - how's it going? If you can't do the full fast check out the reboot website for modified fasts than include food. It might be easier to start with one of those.

As for me it's Day 7 and I'm still doing good. I've gotten better at making my juices to taste good (or maybe I'm just getting used to them lol). I'm set on 10 days and have my food planned for a few days after that. This has been easier so far than I thought although I'll definitely be glad to start eating food again. I think I might fast again in a month or two and start doing it on a regular basis. :drinker:

Allison - great work!

It's day 9 for me. Just one more day of juice fast. It's been a great experience and the most amazing thing to me is that my chronic headaches have been completely gone since day 3. I'm definitely going to have to be careful once I start eating again to see where these headaches are coming from. I thought I was already eating healthfully!

Once I start eating on Saturday I will be using the reboot plan menus for transitioning back to normal eating. Although I might eat something more solid than just fruits and veggies, like an egg or some rice! But I'm going to start with those menus and just listen to my body.

Hi,

I am on Day 9 of my juice fast.

I'm not losing as much weight as everyone else ... but it takes a lot for me to lose anything at all usually so I'm happy with my progress so far.

I have lost about 5 pounds in 9 days.

It's great to hear how other "juicers" are doing. Well done!

I did a 3-day juice fast from Sunday through Tuesday of this week, which went well. Lost 2.8 lbs in 3 days, but have gained most of it back since not because of increased calories, but rather I believe because of my generous use of salt since ending the "fast" (and I think the word "fast" is such a misnomer since the amount of calories consumed during the juice fast were the same as I'd have consumed in solid food).

I did blog about my 3-day juice fast in case anyone is interested: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/cheryl529h

Would love to read about others' experiences, too.

I used a free plan on Reboot with Joe called New Year New You. I just googled "Reboot with Joe New Year New You" and it was the first thing that came up. I just extended the plan to 10 days and also used some other juice recipes that I found online, too.
