Juicing

Hi All,

I just got a nutri bullet a week or so ago and I have been loving it! So far I have been supplementing into my regular diet but keeping my calories around the 1200-1300 marker.

I feel great but I am considering doing a short juice cleanse... maybe three days or so ... has anyone tried this, did you feel too hungry doing it ? Did you loose weight? Any other useful information?

The one thing I have noticed with this machine is because all the veggies and fruit are whole I get really full all day and I'm actually feeling like it would be hard to heat my 1200-1300 ...

Any words of wisdom would be helpful!

    Just don't. If you feel great, why would you change things up?

    I personally don't think it's necessary to do a juice cleanse or any type of cleanse - your kidneys and liver do a pretty good job of cleaning out toxins - and you lose out on a fruit's fiber when you just drink the juice. I would be afraid I'd get too hungry by the end of the cleanse and end up eating peanut butter right out of the jar or something.

    What you've been doing - drinking juice as part of a regular balanced diet - seems like the best way. But if you do end up doing the cleanse, let us know how it goes.

    QFT. The first post on that link is gold.

    I've never done a cleanse. No intention of ever doing one. I think my body usually does a pretty good job. Sometimes when I'm eating screwy I feel like I should go take a Colase. But then I remember that I was put on that after my appendectomy and actually crapped myself, so I don't.

    I've fasted on Yom Kippur, though, and at the end of ~24 hours, I want to eat ALL THE THINGS.

    Your kidneys and liver detox/cleanse your body enough. Drinking 1 or 2 of those a day is enough to get the right amount of vitamins/minerals a day along with your other foods...

    Ok so really late post, but I did a cleanse- a bottled one rather than the nutribullet , nothing crazy just a 3 day. Although I did eat a bag of kale chips with it. just one small bag across all three days. My cleanse was really yummy and I didn't feel depleted at all. I think the key was I timed it with a really crazy work week so I didn't really notice I wasn't stopping for traditional meals. I would def. do it again ... maybe in a couple weeks. It didn't really do anything for my weight loss, but I did feel like I had a lot of energy at the end and it was easier to go from that back to clean eating.
