16 day 13 pounds Feel Great!

I just did a 16 day juice fast (Like in Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead) and I lost 13 pounds. I felt great and I am planning to eat mostly raw for one week then do another juice fast for as long as I can stand it.
My goal is to get to where I can Juice Fast for about a month and then eat healthy whole foods, mostly raw, for about one week...
I hope to keep doing that until I am at the weight I want to be.
It did take me a while to get to this point, over 2 years I became a vegetarian, then vegan, then raw. Once the weight is off I plan to stay raw/vegan for good.
Is anyone else thinking about long term use of Juice Fasting?

    I'm new to juicing, so far I've only managed to switch out two meals a day with juicing before I feel "deprived" but I am working towards doing a two week juice fast next month and then I plan to make it a regular thing. I haven't thought of doing a month long one on a regular basis but I want to do a one month fast in the near future. I used to be vegetarian and felt great when I was but then when I lost my job I basically gave it up since I basically ate whatever my friends and family would give me that they didn't want out of their pantries and fridges so I couldn't afford to be picky. Now that things are getting back on track and aim trending back to my vegetarian diet but want to try to go to plant based diet like the Fire Engine 2 diet. I love my Netflix and all these great movies I can find to motivate me!
    I've been using my bullet and straining the juice out, what do you use?

    I have been juicing twice a day and eating mostly salads for another 2 meals. I have lost 11lbs in a couple of weeks. I am going to add some exercise and see how that works out for me. I have never felt better. My strength and stamina have increased and I sleep a whole lot better. I wish I could go pure juice but with my wife and I both juicing it gets ridiculously expensive.

    It sounds like you're doing great now. Just keep an eye on your energy levels. Especially, if you start exercising. I found at a certain point, that restricting calories too much, and exercising, didn't work for me. Keep pushing, but know your limitations. I just made that up, I hope it helps. :wink:
