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.
Exactly this.
I have a juicer, and I do sometimes juice in the mornings. It does energize me and my skin has looked better since doing it, plus I just like the taste. But I do not use it as a meal replacement, I have it along with my breakfast. I also only drink one cup as I prefer to get the majority of my calories from eating, my husband will usually drink whatever extra I make.

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.
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.

(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
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.
You look fab.0 -
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.0

You know what helps a lot if you don't want to feel sluggish? EXERCISE.
There are no quick fixes. Eat real food and move your body.0 -

I excersize half hour a day as well as walking 4 miles to work... I don't eat *kitten* I cook it from scratch.0 -
If you like juice drink it
Be careful of the numbers of calories in juice as opposed to the actual fruit or vegetables and log carefully
There is no cleanse though ..that's just marketing bollocks

No need to do a juice cleanse - your liver and kidneys do all of your body's cleansing for you.0 -
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.0 -

I'm afraid this post has warning signs all over it
I would be surprised if you were hitting your protein and fat minimum macros ...it's important you do
56lbs since April is 18 weeks is 3lbs a week which means you are probably losing at a higher rate than is healthy and ripping through your LBM more than is necessary
There doesn't sound like much of a learning curve in what you are doing so what happens when you stop juicing ? How will you cope with real food?0 -
Juicing works, but mostly because it is a fairly extreme calorie cutting method. a mostly vegetable juice is around 15 calories per ounce, so with a cup of juice being a 120 calories, it is easy to drink a lot and feel full without consuming a lot of calories. It isn't a balanced diet though and probably is best used as supplement or an occasional meal replacement, with other nutrients coming from the remaining meals.0

OP, I prefer the yellow ones for cleansing (green is typically used for bulking), but I can get behind a juice cleanse.

This juicer's formula looks closer to my preferred method, but note that they have forgotten to remove the eyes. That's a common rookie mistake; a classic sign of a n00bie juicer. The eyes are full of toxins that, among other things, inhibit proper flow of chi and can actually disrupt the monoglucosaccharide detoxification process. You've gotta take off the eyes first.

Precisely as long as my last conference call!0 -
Other than the peep cleanse, I much prefer to eat my calories.0

I did a juice cleanse about 3 weeks ago. Honestly it was really tough, I was working the week a was doing it which probably wasn't the best idea. It got to the point where I drank juice for breakfast and lunch and then HAD to have a salad for dinner or else I was absolutely dead!0

I think juicing is great. It does wonders for me as far as health is concerned, forget weight control.0
