Juice fasting

bump

Starting Day 4: Woke with a headache again. Downed my Green Drink...15 min later still had the headache. So I had 4 oz. of coffee. Tomorrow I'm switching to Green Tea.
Breakfast : Chard, spinach, blueberries, flax seed oil & whey powder.
Lunch: cucumber, tomato, kale, chard, spinach, tomato, carrot, & Brewer's yeast. ( this got really foamy & I could only drink 3/4 of it)

I've lost about 3 lbs. I was able to do my 30 Day Shred on Wednesday & today. I did 45 min. on the elliptical on Tuesday.

I'm going to keep adding flax oil & whey or hemp to my blends because of my weight training. I need the protein to repair damaged muscle tissue.

Keep on juicin' & blendin'!

I just wanted to say, on this post, this woman has only a few pounds to go to get to her weight goal. I would HIGHLY recommend doing this fast only with a doctor's guidance, especially if you are in a healthy weight range already - as this poster is. I think it is a fantastic short range program for people who have a lot of weight to lose, but it could be dangerous as a quick fix to people with 10-20 lbs to lose.

The movie had the participants under medical supervision, and I know the original poster on this thread, dakota, is also under a doctor's supervision. I've been cheering on those of you who are doing this the healthy way. I do worry about everyone with 10-20 pounds to lose trying this.

oKay, off my

Good luck, everyone!!

alrighty, so I finished my 5 days of raw food only. I lost a total of 4 lbs, we'll have yet to see how much of that comes back... I'm guessing 2-3lbs, cause my normal weight loss rate is 1lb /week. I don't know if I'd do it again, but I can say now, eating cooked food again, it's easier for my to control my portion sizes, and I'm feeling the full feeling more quickly. I hope that sticks around! I definitely think it's a good thing to do to reset your thinking and feeling about food. Although I'm hugely addicted to large quantities of fruit now, which isn't necessarily a good thing. I ate a lot of fruit before, and now I just want it all the time!

this is my second day. the first day, my hand and legs were cold. i hope it will get better on day 2.

Funny I saw the same Documentary today. I am thinking of doing 10 day fast in couple of weeks. Just to cleanse and reboot everything.

You guys must be talking about the documentary "Fat, Sick, and Almost Dead". It is really inspirational and gives you a good look at how Americans and the rest of the world eat so poorly. I do some juicing to supplement my diet because i don't think you can get the nutrients your body needs through regular eating. If you don't have time to juice sometimes a great supplement I use is Green Vibrance which gives you a super boost in nutrients.

Dipping my toe in the pool. I just dusted off my juicer and made my 1st juice!

Huge bunch kale (yields an inch of juice!)
3 celery stalk
2 generic apples
1 pear

Not bad. Stuck it in the freezer though. I forgot lemons/ginger or other flavor boosters. I did have some organic peach-mango juice in the fridge. Just adding a splash (2 Tbls?) of that made a huge difference.

I found the FSND documentary hugely inspirational. Toyed w/ going full hog on the juice, but decided I'd be more successful if I started it by adding juices to my existing routine first. I'm going to try to add a juice or 2 daily in the hopes of eventually going on the full juice feast.

Though I am going to have to go to the market a LOT more or buy a lot more each trip...

This is great.. I own a Vita Mix and rather Juice everything because I learned that the body needs to Chew something for the Nutrients, its isnt always about making it liquid to fill u up and be healthy, its something about the salavia and the nutrients in the foods we eat.. I tend to like to chew, there again the vita mix is not a Juicer, I can put a whole apple, whole pear skin and seeds and all if I want too.. and a hand full of spinach and add something like a Kiwi _ that ones a peeler.. and then make a smoothie add yogurt and ice.. and wow.... then I eat my Bananna because I have something to eat and drink.. and also the fact that Banannas are strong when mixed with other fruits and u will have only that taste.. so I rather eat the bannana.. Check out the vita mix web page, I have owned mine for 4 years and my Father who is 72 and only looks 60.. is a BIG vita mix user and he walks 1 miles everyday, thats it.. and he takes NO medication he eats green as much as possible but loves his smoothies.. well good luck and to each us our own journeys with the same common want.. to be healthy and live and feel better.. Hats off to ya. !!!

Beginning of Day 6 here for me and I've lost another pound, making it 7lbs lost!

Pretty stoked.

so i have a question. my husband and i are starting this next Monday, Aug. 8. it will be easier for me to do since i stay at home with the kids. but he works, so we're wondering how on earth he's supposed to make enough juice for his meals at work? what do you all do that work outside of the home? any help or suggestions would be appreciated! thanks!

I drink a 16 oz before i got to work and make 2 more for work and put them in a big container. I drink half about 3 hours later and the other half 3 hours after that, then by the time i get home i can make the final one for the day.


Day 11 for me, down a few more pounds for 22 or 23 total, ive lost track. Feel amazing with tons of energy. Noticed my skin is really super clear and soft and i cant breathe so much easier than before. I took some Ginseng yesterday since its supposed to detox you and i take that it did because i got the warm leg and skin feeling i did before on day 3 and i had to take a nap. I'll try it again to see if it does the same thing.

first of all, congratulations on your weight loss! that is awesome!!

second, thank you for the suggestion. i guess i can buy like a 32 oz. container or something and have him take that to work. how many juice smoothies do you have in one day? 4? or 5?

So, those of you who have been juicing- what do you think that this mix will be ok? Kiwi-apple-grapefruit?

Thoughts?
