The main forums contain people who have one thing in common, they all 100% subscribe to the calories in / calories out, program.... MFP is pretty much based on calorie counting, and that's what 99% of the members here go by.

Most ( not all ) also go by IIFYM.... and will argue to the death, that there is no such thing as bad food... only too much food.

Arguing any other ideas in the main forums is pointless, the mob mentality will always rule.

That said.... You might find that juicing day after day wears you down, or you might experience unpleasant side effects. Joe Cross was, and is rich, and had access to tons of medical supervision, something alot of us don't have.

I personally, didn't really set a goal for how long to juice, and I only made it 10 days on straight juice, about 6 times a day. By that time, I was craving salads, and nuts.... and that didn't seem so bad, so I added some mofo huge salads in, juicing about 4 times a day, + a gigantic salad, with nuts and black beans, or tuna on it.... and I did that for probably a couple of months straight, at least.

My point is.... whatever the juicing leads to, is equally as important as the juicing itself. And, you need to have a transition / exit strategy, and a firm plan, how you plan to eat for life, once the juicing is done.

That's why the mainstream MFP'ers all say juicers will fail... because they 'assume' that you have no long term plan.

Just a suggestion for transitioning to your healthy lifestyle, once you're done with the juice fast...

Dr Joel Fuhrman wrote a book called, Eat to Live.... promoting what he calls a 'nutritarian' way of eating. He's basically promoting veganism... but, his way, is that if you eat 80% nutritarian, you can do what you want 20% of the time. So, there's some leeway.

He has appeared in Fat Sick and Nearly Dead, I think... and other documentaries.

My plan has always been to try to become nutritarian after juicing... but I'm finding it very hard to stick with the program. I'm actually about to get the book out of the library for the 2nd time.

There's an Eat to Live group here, as well....

Feel free to join up, and see what's going on there... there's more discussion there, than there is here. It's one possibility for your transition from juicing. He basically promotes eating nutrient dense foods, which seems to make sense.

I am finishing this day 8.

It's been 5 or 6 days...... what's up?
