Juice clense???

Don't do a juice cleanse! No need for it and you would lack serious nutrition. Protein and fibre are the main ones!

A cup of homemade juice now and again is great for quick vitamins and minerals but, juicing removes all the fibre. I personally would return the juicer and get a good blender so you can retain the fibre in the fruits and veggies.

Your juicer can grind up meat?

If you like juice yeah.

If you're doing it to "jump start" weight loss... NO.

If you're doing it because you think you have "toxins"... NO.

If you're doing it because you think you need to cleanse yourself.... NO.

One of my friends who is a very healthy lifestyler and is a yoga teacher does 1-2 day juice cleanse to restart her palette. Not to clean her system or to lose weight. But to refocus her tastebuds and habits. And she only does it every 6 months.

Most people who juice daily like to have more fruits in their morning juice and as the day goes on add more vegetables especially green-leafy vegetables (kale, collards etc). Try juicing for yourself and then you be the judge. At the end of the day if you're trying to lose some weight it comes down to calorie intake vs calorie burning. Juicing works for weight loss and as a way of getting a good dose of nutrients. Ask anyone who does a juice "fast" for 30 or more days and they will tell you they feel fantastic after. The first 3-5 days you'll feel a bit miserable both mentally and physically, but it passes. Ultimately it's about choices in what to put in your body and staying active. I don't believe in juice only for the long run, but it certainly will change how you feel about food and psychology behind why we eat and what we eat. Food for fuel, not for "fun." Good luck in whatever you choose to do, but remember to try things for yourself first so you can know what works for you.

So I've recently bought a juicer. I was wondering if anyone had done the juice clense. (I've seen some people do a week or two or anything up to 60 days) I was wondering if anyone had any advise tips or just any advise on the juice as I planning to have one for breakfast anyway... Thanks guys

Re: Bolded- Pizza works for weight loss too. Anything does.

I use to juice it was amazing still eat your normal food but have 1-2 juices a day I lost a stone in no time there so naturally taste you want more. If you want you can have your cereal in the morning juice for lunch a good healthy dinner Along side a juice and that would be all for the day

I have heard different opinions about the "cleanse", but I know juicing transformed my health.
My diet was so bad. I think I ate fast food nearly every meal. I needed a boost of nutrition and bought a juicer and flooded my system with nutrients and blended back in most of the pulp. There was no way I was ever going to start eating fruits and veggies - no way!

After about 3 months I slowly began changing my diet and cleaning things up. Today I eat mostly whole foods...lean meats, fresh fruits and veggies, beans, nuts, whole grains and raw dairy stuff.
And I still juice a liter of fresh fruits and veggies daily.
Again, I don't know if I have been "cleaned", but my results have been stellar.

I would do a smoothie instead of juicing, but all that fiber all at once does not agree with my stomach. I find a cup of veggie juice agrees with me much better than a cup of veggie smoothie.

If you dislike cooked vegetables, it's certainly a way to get vitamins from raw vegetables without having to eat copious amounts of salad greens. Tomato, cucumber and carrot juice is delicious. Add half an apple to just about any vegetables, and it's quite tasty. Kale, beet, spinach, broccoli... you miss out on the fiber, though.

I'm a current "juicer" and LOVE it. IT IS NOT FOR EVERYBODY though. I do 21 day stints and add pea protein to my morning juice.
I'm down 56 pounds so far and feel like I'm 25 again.
Did I mention IT'S NOT FOR EVERYONE? But after 10 years of fighting for my health I have finally found something that works for me.
It is NOT easy. The prep and clean up are a pain. It doesn't taste good because I minimize the fruits.
My biggest problem is I don't have an "off" switch. I don't know how to push the plate away. By not having anything but juices I can stay within those boundaries.
I started April 3 of this year so I'm still relatively new. But so far so good.
