    You have livers and kidneys that detox your body. If you need a detox, you need an MD, not a juice fast.

    As has already been covered, that documentary is a propaganda piece meant to scare the people that won't actually research anything. Nothing more.

    What happens after you reach your goal weight? Do you start eating again?

    I will keep juicing and smoothies as part of my meals, I will add shrimps, salmon and chicken to dinner and eat veggies and fruits ( I m not really a salad fan, but I drink it, if its juiced lol). There are plenty of receipes on rebootwithjoe, youtube and google. I still will do my excercise and will repeat a short juicing fast every year.

    Freedom of speech sucks. If the USA became a dictatorship with someone who actually had a brain, that book/movie would be banned and we wouldn't have to deal with the constant barrage of threads like these.

    lol..you just like to post..but has nothing to say...

    It's a thing bored white women with too much time on their hands do. I'm white and no plenty of bored white women so I can feel safe making the call on this one.

    ....another "I just want post something"-Who is actually bored? But like your picture- your comment is brainless. Since you are pre judging here is my day:, I am getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning, 1 hour gym, food preparing, go to work and after work going to the gym for 1.5hr, cooking dinner, watch movie go to bed. Sounds boring to you? Not at all! I am very happy and glad people like you are just hiding behind a headless picture.

    IF this had any effect on your metabolism -- and in the short term, it wouldn't -- it would be to slow it down, not "jump-start" it.

    No offense but that documentary has been shot down so many times it's not even funny. These juice fasts are a quick trip to high blood sugar and insufficient nutrition.

    Do yourself a favor and stop watching heavily biased documentaries. Do what works and has worked for hundreds of years. Exercise and moderate calorie deficit.


    Thank you for your concern, however I am doing exactly what works for 100, even 1000 years, fruit, veggies and do excercise. The movies actually explain that very well. Loosing weight through reboot/detox your body is just a great side effect, more importantly it is the health benefits. You don't have to agree, and I can assume you did not watched the movies at all reading your comment. The movies let you think about processed food and marketing, medication and so much more. My blood sugar is fine and juicing gives you all nutritions your body is craving for to the first time. Wghat do you think how many nutrition you'll take with a hot dog? You just don't know what you don't know.

    I just love how an infomercial for a book and blender that is presented as a documentary can get people to stop eating solid foods...

    Well, they say ignorance is bliss.

    So you are choosing to believe something because you saw it in a movie? Can you please back up everything you are saying by citing some reputable sources? A movie is not a reputable source. International associations, universities, etc. are good sources.

    Actually, I eat Applegate Farms hotdogs. They are very nutritious. I wonder where you get your protein and healthy fats while juicing?

    Why do you think that?
    Because in the long term, VLCDs are associated with small decreases in RMR. Not enough to negate the effect of the VLCD, so people still end up losing weight, but small decreases. Decreasing calories doesn't increase metabolism.

    Thank you for your concern, however I am doing exactly what works for 100, even 1000 years, fruit, veggies and do exercise. The movies actually explain that very well.

    First, fixed some things for you.

    Second, you are not doing what has worked for 100, even 1000 years. This is quite frankly ridiculous. Humans eat meat and plants. So unless you are grazing for your fruits and veg, and hunting for your meats, you are doing no such thing. And you are not getting all your NUTRIENTS, because when you juice, you lose precious fiber.

    Look, I understand your enthusiasm. Every January this place gets lousy with enthusiastic newbies. I get that, I was one once too. But for your sake, PLEASE do some research from LEGITIMATE SOURCES. Such as textbooks on health & nutrition, medical journals, peer reviewed studies, etc. That movie is pure snake oil, and I don't care how you pretty it up, it doesn't make it any more true.

    Juicing fasts are basically temporary very low calorie diets. Juicing removes most of the fiber which mitigates all the sugar when eating fruit. I would rather do smoothies with protein and whole fruits and veggies. Sorry to be a downer, but juice fasts really aren't the best idea.

    That's absolutely fine. Juicing vs blending. You will find a lot infos on that. You can do smoothies as well. Do you know that you get protein through a lot of plant based food? I just learn that as well, since I am getting really deep into that topic. When to juice and when to do smoothies? Juicing=When you want to detox your body. You strip down the fruit/veggies and leave the pulp behind. You actually don't want have fiber in your system, only micronutritions, to help your body to give you the most engery. The body needs energy for digestion. So if there is fiber, it will take energy away. Smoothies= you get the whole fruit/veggies and the fiber, it will fill you up quicker.You can do smoothies and add to your eating habbits, that will nourish your body!

    Wait. What?!?

    Except you can see the nutrition on a hot dog so how would you not know?

    too...funny. Do you think that if you constantly drink alcohol and eat processed food and shovel mcdonalds and taco bell in your belly, your liver and kidneys will be able to detox all the toxics & chemicals in your body? Absolutely not. You getting sick, take medication for the liver which has an effect on other organs and you need another pill. Great- now you are in the medical mouse wheel- the doctor has you for live and you are his money pig. Do you think that all the side effects of medication are healthy and will extend your life? What exactly let you think that? Why do you think that people who are eating mostly raw food have proof records of a long healthy live? Juicing/Detoxing/rebooting is not a new trend, It has been around for a very long time. My grandma used to do that. So far I just see nobody here who have experience with juicing to share. But everybody seems to have an opinion..lol
