I'M JUICE FASTING SO THAT I WONT BE FAT, SICK, AND NEARLY DE

For this juice fast. do you take any laxatives with it?

You don't. One of the goals of the fasting is cleaning the body, detoxing basically, so no, you don't need them. Actually, I strongly believe it is a bad idea.

Thanks for your answer!

Then there's the whole fact that your liver, if properly functioning....does a wonderful job at cleaning and detoxing your body. Fasts are not proven to increase this effect.

Actually, your liver keeps a lot of the toxins you eat. That's why when doing a liver detox it is done in 3 or more levels, so gradually you release the toxins. Anyone who does a liver detox without proper guidance could suffer serious complications.

This is just cleanse hype. Can you please provide an actual reputable source of information to back your claims of the benefits of a liver detox?

Bump for documentary x

Oooo....it's getting ugly! Simmer down boys. :laugh:

(Yes, that's not useful either, but I'm REALLY bored at work soooo.....)

I always bring ugly to the party :laugh:

Thought I'd chime in one more time.

My prefered JUICE recipe provides a DAILY amount of the following:

2,125 - Calories
480 - Carbs
5 - grams of Fat
75 - grams of Protien

My PHYSICIAN reports to me that my KIDNEY & LIVER functions are better than when I started. My CHOLESTERAL & TRIGLYCERIDES are down into the normal range. I'm no longer exhibiting symtoms of DIABETES (my father has diabetes and his father died from complications of diabetes). I no longer suffer from HEADACHES. I had GOUT ATTACKS for crying out loud. I'm 36 years young and I felt like an old man.

No, I'm not a computer, but according to my PHYSICIAN this REBOOT is helping to save my life. So if he said "try another 30 days" when my 60 days is over, I will. Once I come off my JUICE REBOOT, my wife and I are adopting a Paleo Lifestyle. Sweets will be in moderation. I'm not going to lie and say I don't miss certain foods. But I have no intention of eating the same way. The processed foods and a sugar rich lifestyle was literally killing me.

I'm improving my health in an unconventional way. I'm not asking you to try it, or change your mind. But you'll also notice I haven't tried to INSULT anyone. Many of you are misinformed and judgemental. It must be nice to be so smart and always in the right. Weight loss was a nice "side effect" of JUICING, BUT the health improvments (it's all in the blood) far out weigh (pun intended) the rapid weight loss I have experienced.

Your sarcasm is noted. Just remember that your attitude can have a negative effect on others. Personally, I am not trying to be RIGHT. I was providing someone else with some insight into my experiences with JUICING.

This is just cleanse hype. Can you please provide an actual reputable source of information to back your claims of the benefits of a liver detox?

What is it with you people and "evidence from a reputable source"? Want do know if is true or not? Find out for yourself. At the end, it doesn't matter where I get the information from, you'll still argue it is wrong and that isnot a reputable source. I've seen it all before.

I honestly don't care whether or not you think what I'm saying is true or not. So far you haven't provided any useful information.

Because anecdotal evidence isn't reliable and if it works there will be studies done on it saying just that? And if I'm doing anything to my body, I want to know it's safe.

Sorry, but I had to butt in and say that. Show some properly done research, and that can't be argued with (well, it can, but not as much as pure "it worked for me")

juices are gr8 , I think it does you good to have a juice program every so often, if you can,
as long as you get a balanced supply of all the nutrition you need from it ,
oh yea and you need to make sure you get your fiber and protein.
But all in all if it works for you then do it,

Well, Christ wasn't juicing. I don't think I could survive on water alone for 40 days.

There's lots of things "christ" wasn't doing - like existing...

Hahah!

Listen to your body through your juice fasting, you can do serious damage if you don't. Getting weight off fast through fad diets is easy (I did it with Atkins), but keep in mind in the long term you're likely to gain quite a bit of it back (I did). Most of the fads are not realistically set up for life long maintenance. Anyways, best of luck. Be safe.

Just want to say something real quick;

While you want to lose the weight in 2 weeks or 90 days, did you put all the weight on that fast? Most likely not. So why in the world would you throw your body into shock by only juicing? I do juice once in a while. But I use it as a meal replacement. Such as breakfast or a snack. But not all meals for several days or months. As soon you stop, you will gorge yourself because you have not learned how to eat right. Visit a dietitian, and get the facts. Losing weight is a learning opportunity and if not done right, there could be awful consequences.

Just be careful, I do not want anyone sick from going to extremes.

I like juices, and I think a few days of juice only is a great way to have a clean out,
but the thing is my juicer is a big bulky Panasonic juicer that is annoying to clean so I don't get it out much anymore, it was considered to be a really good one when I bought it 25 years ago and i did use it all the time then, but i think there must be an easy to clean easy to use more compact juicer on the market by now . Any one know what a good one would be.

I am in favour of Fast weight loss coupled with total determination NOT to fall back into old weight gaining habits ..its a lifestyle change ...once the weight is lost keep it off, Its about will power and self discipline, and the reward is good health for LIFE
I want to die healthy
The sooner you lose it the better your health, and I'm not going to take ages to get my health better, everyday I carry around the extra fat is another day of over taxing my organs and shortening my life or quality of life.

So I have a sense of urgency, none of this slow and steady stuff for me, I want FAST life changing results

Juice would probably be better than a whole load of unsaticfying snacks.
LOL LOL Anyway little pickers wear bigger knickers and I want to wear sexy ones...HA HA

:laugh: :laugh: Talk about a HOT TOPIC:laugh: :laugh:

It definitely is. I think there are just a lot of people on here that are concerned and don't want to see anything bad happen to an obviously sweet girl. Treat your body well; it's the only one you've got. :flowerforyou:

Maybe I'll try juicing, too--as soon as someone figures out how to make pizza a juice. Mmm...pizza.

yummy, pizza juice.

Good one!!

On a serious note..
I did watch that movie and IT IS inspirational. So much, that me and my husband went and bought the juicer( yes the same one). I tried it for 1 month lost 10lnbs. Then I guess the detox effects or what, but I had horrible nausea, like I was pregnant( and no I was not). I could not take a sip of any juice that we made, I just started feeling dizzy and nauseated ALL the time. I took 4months break and now I only drink breakfast juice with fruits. It could be a good thing, but your body will tell you if it is for you or not.

Good Luck!!
