Sorry to hear about your recent dental surgery
That's why you're on a juice fast, right?0 -
I hope not. This is a calorie counting website which is against very low calorie diets so that wouldn't make any sense.0

Nope, except for the occasional orange juice, I don't drink juice anymore. Too many calories and no food!
I get why a lot of people like to kick-start their diet with a day or two of fasting and it can do a lot of good. But don't make a habit of it! You need nutrition - vitamins and minerals are so important for your health. Learning to eat properly is a big deal and juice fasts don't help there.
If I were juice fasting, I'd get the Ocean Spray Cranberry Raspberry or the Pom juice.
Enjoy!!0 -

Haha nah I introduced juicing vegetables and fruits into my diet last year when I reached 300lb lost about 45lb so far . Decided to do a juice fast in the new year . I have more energy than ever!-2 -
Um, no.
If you're drinking just the juice, you're missing a lot of the important nutrients (including fiber).
If you're grinding up the whole fruit/veg, why waste the energy? Just eat them. Food is more satisfying than liquid.
Eat normal foods, in sensible portions, and move more.
That's all you really need to know to lose weight.
Or is this another one of the
posts that have been appearing recently with all the resolutioners?

I juice everyday. I have done a 3 day "reboot" twice in the past but mainly make green juices and the occasional "orange" juice and have them every morning and sometimes in the afternoon. I have no issues whatsoever with going over my calories and drinking the juice that I make. Juicing is actually helping you ADD important nutrients. You are not losing them. By juicing the fruits and vegetables you are able to incorporate way more nutrients than you could ever just eat. I also love that the more I juice, the less I crave any food that isn't nutrient dense. Your body develops a preference to that high level of nutrients and eating anything that is bad for you won't even sound appealing. So I 100% support juicing! -5

People have completely REVERSED many illnesses through juicing. There are a large variety of ways to juice. You can juice and eat or you can just juice and people often juice for 15, 30, or even more days with absolutely no ill effects. You're body is given a break from digesting and your system resets itself and you are getting all of those micronutrients that instantly absorbed into and used by your body. I don't prefer to just juice because I need variety to my diet but I know that many people have done it and after the adjustment period (the first 4 days or so) you can juice comfortably and not be hungry or have any of the side effects that you experience in the first few days of detoxing-6

If you've lost so much weight already, what's the rush on the rest of the weight? Sure you know by now that the weight comes off with a caloric deficit and eating, like, people food.0 -
Eating McDonald's everyday would be ADDING important nutrients too. Actually essential nutrients. Nutrients I would die without!
See how phrasing, even though true, can make nutritional arguements nonsense?
Plus I like how people are trying to get more nutrients into people that are trying to lose weight. I'm one of those weirdos that tries that with people trying to gain weight. How can you honestly think what you are saying makes any sense?
You're taking away the fibre, you're making it more highly concentrated in sugars.
You're talking about making food LESS filling for someone trying to eat less.0 -
Much prefer to eat my food then drink it thanks. Juicing is not sustainable long term.0

I do a "juice cleanse" every January 1st for about 4-5 days. Afterward my tummy feels de-bloated, my skin is clear of blemishes and glows, I kick cravings for salt and caffeine and as a bonus I drop the bulge I gained over the holiday period.
I don't think anyone should be shaming you for wanting to do a bit of a detox, it's your body and your choice. As long as you feel ok and it's not for an extended period of time, do as you please.-2 -
This is such a load of crap.People have completely REVERSED many illnesses through juicing.
Honestly, it sounds like the kind of thing amoral salespeople say when they're trying to prey on the desperately ill.
Promising to cure disease and taking money from the sick is about the lowest you can go. Not the lowest, but not far from it.0 -

Seriously, I'm still laughing. I'm screencapping this for when I have a sad and need a pick me up. That's so much BS in only 3 sentences. Fiber is your friend. Chewing your food is your friend.

I typically juice a bag of spinach, a lemon, 4 apples, 4 celery stalks, ginger, and cilantro. All of which have nutrients in them. Juicing them does not make them magically have more nutrients but it does allow me to get a larger portion of fruits in veggies in one drink that I can have in the morning. Dark leafy greens are very nutrient dense and I'm pretty sure I couldn't eat an entire bag of spinach in a day. I also eat my greens and other fruits and vegetables. So, I stand by my claim that drinking a juice that I make and I know exactly what is in it adds to the amount of nutrients that I take into my body in any given day. I do not buy juice, I do not participate in any gimmick diets. I have lost 60 pounds over 2 years through good diet and exercise alone.-1

I've lost 80lbs, and didn't feel the need to fill my toilet with nutrients.0

I also lose your basic healthy pound or 2 a week through juicing AND eating a nutritious diet of whole foods. I can drink 2 juices a day, eat breakfast lunch, and dinner and not go over my 1500 calories... So sounds like it adds up to me.-1

That's not what you said.
"Juicing is actually helping you ADD important nutrients. You are not losing them."
Uh, yes, you are losing fiber which is VERY important. Not enough fiber and you'll end up like me - getting part of your colon removed because you crapped bricks which caused pockets to develop that get infected repeatedly.0 -
Well congrats on your 80 pounds. One of my biggest diet challenges is sugar cravings and me drinking a green juice most mornings gives my body what it needs and curbs cravings for unhealthy food allowing for most of my intake to be fruits and vegetables, chicken and fish, nuts and seeds, and certain grains. I eat a very balanced diet and maintain a healthy lifestyle that for me includes making my own juice.-1

How do you lose fibre when your juicing the whole thing? Nutri bullets etc don't extract the pulp / fibre.0
