Fat, Sick & Nearly Death

I watched it last night. Still processing the whole thing. A friend of mine is on day 6. I'll see him tomorrow and see how it's going for him. I'd be glad to share his thoughts if you're interested.

I wanna buy a Juicer to try it for Detox. Man, they are expensive though.

Yogurt is not going to help detoxing because when milk enters the body it has a very acidic effect on the body messing with the PH balance and causes weight gain and mucus. Though our bodies naturally make mucus to coat everything we eat, and protect the surfaces of our membranes there starts to be a problem when we start to have too much. Mucus helps trap the toxins to help them leave the body but when we have too much it’s starts to harden and build up along the walls of our intestines adding sludge and making everything move slower through the intestinal tract making the body have to deal with the toxins for longer. When we ingest dairy your body has to try to get rid of it as fast as it can to make sure it doesn’t hurt it too much. This is why when we try to cut dairy out of our diet we always seem to get a cold and stuffy or runny nose because all the mucus is trying to leave the body and bring the levels back to normal. Plus protein digest differently in the body compared to fruits and veggies and needs a acidic environment to break every down.

So yeah i would try it with just fruits and veggies and i think you'll get a lot of good out of it and good luck on cleaning your body and detoxing.

So he's on day 5, I correct myself. He said he is feeling really good. Lots of energy, but craving physical food. He's lost 8 lbs already. Dave is a pretty big guy with over 100 lbs to lose and his previous diet was absolute crap. He is going to take it 10 days at a time, he says.

To clarify the craving part: he wants to eat. He's not hungry. He's just used to eating a lot, and working on getting rid of that mental thing. I'd guess it's similar to when a smoker quits and has nothing to do with his hands anymore. Oral fixation? Something like that.

I have not heard of this documentary. However, I can attest to the energy and just overall feeling of strength when juicing. I really like doing all fruit but thats just me.

Interesting to watch. I first saw it a week ago with my roommate. She and I decided to do it, and start Tuesday morning! I've heard day three is the worst. Look out, Thursday!!
