    Anyone here do a juice fast? I did a supervised juice fast for 52 days (yes, i did not eat food for 52 days). i actually felt awesome for most of it until the very, very end then i got a little too weak so i stopped. i had vegetable broth in the mornings and strained fruit juice for lunch and dinner. i was actually in really good shape for a couple of years after, but i was also pretty young and worked a manual labor job, so there's that. i went on to do several juice fasts, but it was never as good as that first long one. i don't want to juice fast any more, that was probably 10 years ago, though i know some people who do an annual cleansing fast. and not the crap with the cayenne pepper and ACV - real juice and veggie broth.

    Gorillas are huge and muscly so I've been thinking of imitating their diet as best I can. My macros are going to be:

    90% leafy vegetables (lettuce, kale, cabbage) and herbs
    4% root vegetables (carrots etc)
    2% flowers (pumpkin flowers, violets, nasturtiums etc)
    2% fruit
    2% ants, snails and grubs

    Time to become huge and muscly like a gorilla!

    I’ve done paleo before. Some would say it’s crazy but I enjoy it.

    It’s essentially eating all natural foods, nothing processed and nothing that isn’t found on the Earth naturally. Think like hunter/gatherer type of food.

    It is worth a shot! It’s tough to follow when you eat out but other than that it’s pretty straight forward

    Nowadays, I just make sensible choices about my diet and don’t follow any one specific diet.

    That is, nothing that the guy who made it up believes wouldn't have been available to early man.

    That’s a good way of summing it up

    1. Intermittent! I don’t want to offend people who are on IF but I’ve been eating like that since I was 17 because I don’t like having full stomach in the morning so I don’t eat breakfast and it was never a trend..

    2. The IU diet, you must only eat 1 apple, 1 sweet potato & protein shake for a week and lost 5-10pounds a week (depends on your weight). This is very unhealthy and some people complain about feeling dizzy. I don’t know how IU could do it.

    3. Paper cup diet, eat everything using 3 paper cups instead of plate.

    When I was about 19 I tried the military diet for a day and bought some diet pills from an infomercial. I tried Atkins for a day also. To hell with diets. Now when people ask if I am on a diet or what diet plan I'm using I say I'm not on a diet I am currently eating at a calorie deficit to lose weight.

    Oh, I also tried using those portion control containers. That was the most confusing thing ever. I couldn't do that for more than 2 weeks. I did use the nutrition plan from insanity and that was actually really helpful. I lost tons of weight but I just stopped after a few months.


    I tried military diet when I was 17 too! But only for a day, the second day I ordered cheese pizza :D:D
