Hey, I'm Billy!

I've been a member for about 6 months and I've made a New Year's resolution to do a one week juice cleanse for a good start for the new year!

I'll be documenting my diet for the week and giving some recipes I'll find satisfying. Pictures will be added daily!

I'm 23 years old and pursuing my ASE certification starting this year. Here are some before measurements and I'll measure again a week from today, Monday January 2, 2012.

Weight: 228.6
Waist: 41.25

Also I am starting a new running schedule. Part 2 of my resolution is to run (average) 7 miles a week and burn 2000 calories a week.

So here we go...

headed to wal mart for some late night snacks..

34 dollars worth of fruits/veggies later..

2 carrots

a little bit of parsley
grapes
orange
1/2 cucumber
1 whole lemon with rind (cleaned of course)

"Hmm..''

GREAT SUCCESS!

I'm open for suggestions on all types of new recipes. I am not afraid to try anything!

    Be sure to peel that cucumber!! It has wax on it to make it look shiny. And pick the darkest ones at the market.

    Good information! I'll definitely be peeling them from now on. Thank you!

    This cucumber was unpeeled.

    Also look for apples that are not shiny, the un-waxed apples are usually in a bag. They wax apples also. I decore my apples, the seeds have very small concentrations of arsenic in them.

    don't let any of the juice touch any plastic parts of your juicer or it may cause a testickle to smoke

    Juicing two apples, 1/4 ginger, and then top off your glass with a little cinnamon - it's a fantastic treat!

    I saw the movie fat sick and nearly dead and it gave me tons of motivation for chanching my diet. I'm trying 15 days. Today is my first day and I did Apple Celery Juice for breakfast. 2 apples, 3 carrots and 2 celery stalks. Delicious!!!!

    That's what made me do this diet.

    So for my exercise, I decided to go bouldering with some friends of mine. Only went for about 1.5 hours but it was enough to get 4 obstacles completed.

    Had a juice for lunch.

    5 clementines
    1 apple
    4oz spinach leaves
    1/2 peeled cucumber
    3 carrots

    Tasted very good and I feel full!

    I'll probably do 4 oranges for 3rd and then mix a bunch of stuff together for 4 and maybe an apple juice for 5.

    Hey there! I just started my juice fast today. I watched Fat Sick and Nearly Dead last week and felt inspired. Not sure how long I am going to try and do ... 7-10 days for sure; maybe a month if it goes well. I did three days last week as kind of a test run ... I actually wasn't hungry and felt good.

    I'm not an expert by any means but have been searching online for info and recipes. One thing I have read is to be careful of too much fruit as it can be high in sugar. I've seen people say they try to eat 80% veggie and 20% fruit. I searched online and found a chart with the sugar content of fruit so I could compare. It was a good way to see what is what and choose wisely.

    One day I did a carrot, grapefruit, ginger, and spinach ... it was really yummy.

    Good luck on your fast ... I'll be following along. :)

    i loved fat sick and nearly dead! if anyone is in need of a good guide on the ins and outs of juicing, detoxing, how to go about cleansing, recipes, etc., check out the 3-day cleanse book written by the founders of blueprintcleanse. they specialize in detoxing and cleansing and offer a lot of nutritional insight on how to cleanse safely. i have made their recipes before too and they are delicious!:drinker: i am saving up my money to have one of their cleanse programs delivered to me this spring. i always see blueprint magazines and dr. oz recently gave them a great review. here is the link (it has the book info on there): blueprintcleanse.com
