My health benefits

Options
I'm 5'9'' 47 years old and started at 240 pounds. I'm down to 195. I started my diet with a 21 day juice fast and I thought I would tell my heath benefits so far to help inspire others. I wore a 40 waist now down to 34. Erectile Dysfunction.....gone. Shortness of breath.....gone. Addiction to soda pop 4 liters per day....gone. Too sweet for me now. Knee pain....gone. Irritable bowel syndrome......gone. Swelling joints, working with hands was painful.....gone. Borderline to high blood pressure.....gone. Bloating....gone. Bags under eyes....gone. Desire for double cheeseburgers and large fry....gone. I haven't got rid of tinitus yet, but appears to be getting better. :happy:

    No while you are juicing you will lose a pound a day. When you start eating again you will gain 3 to 5 pounds back just because you have food in ya, so I lost about 17 pounds in 21 days.

    I'm curious if you watched the film Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead? If not I would highly recommend it. Very inspiring.

    Congrats on your weight loss and most importantly your health improvement!
