    I know someone that swears by juicing and it works well for her. She has a book and juices different fruits and veggies for different ailments, etc. She said it actually improved her eyesight and her arthritis. There has been cases when it has been credited with curing cancer. Ive never done it, but it sounds really interesting!

    I think I'd like to try it someday. Just for a week or a few days at a time.

    Interesting -- this JUST came up at work today; turns out I work with a few guys that are doing the juicing thing because they saw this movie, and they're all looking pretty good. One has lost about 80 pounds so far. I'm thinking of checking it out, although I am skeptical about using juice as a nutritional staple -- it seems that it would just be eliminating the dietary fiber and concentrating the calories.

    I saw that documentary and the story of the truck driver inspired me to try it and I did it for 2 months, lost 50 pounds. It really wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. The first 2-3 days I wasn't feeling too great because my body was getting all the toxins out, but after that I really felt great, I had lots of energy and best of all, that time w/o eating solid food helped me train my taste buds. Before juicingIi would eat 0 veggies, now I eat more of them in my meals. I'm thinking of doing it again next month for 30 days.

    Essentially it is. I think juicing diets seem to work because people lose water weight from drinking more fluids, and then if you're exclusively juicing I find it extremely unlikely that you'd be getting enough calories a day, which explains the feelings of sluggishness and the rapid weight loss results. I don't see it as a sustainable model done on it's own at all.

    I'm on day 29 and 37 pounds down, I work out every day, my allergies cleared up, you got to make up your mind to do it and just do it. I check out the facebook page and people post, THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME! DAY 1 for me and going to try for 60!

    and the next day, THIS SUCKS, I can't do it!


    They failed twice in their statement, they are going to try and they set to far a lofty goal. When I started it, I said to myself, I'm going to do it for 5 days, and reevaluate from there, and that's what I've been doing every day since, good luck.
