10 day juice fast

Or you could just eat right...

When fruits and veggies are in season, we will make a lot of fresh juice in our house and there are some days that I will replace 1-2 meals a day and I am very careful to keep my calories high enough. What I can tell you that this does for me is to help with some digestive issues I have had since I was very young. No doctor has ever been able to diagnose me with anything, despite a boatload of symptoms. Even with keeping my calories up and making sure the solid food I am eating is primarily protein, I still will get headaches at first and need to use the restroom very frequently. If you are set on doing a 10 day juice fast, you should at the very least make sure you involve a medical doctor that has supervised these for other people. If you are doing it strictly for weight loss, not the best option.

It would seem more reasonable to just incorporate the vegetable/fruit juicing into a normal diet rather than cutting out regular food entirely. For instance if you're a junk food junkie(like me), replace junk food with juicing. But not everything you eat with it. I can see the logic in a "jump start" thing but it really doesn’t seem necessary. You would benefit just as much by just adding the juicing to your diet AND you wouldn’t have to suffer those 10 days. Because you would be getting those extra nutrients on top of the everyday ones you give your body.

I'm on day 11 of a 30 day "reboot". I think the key is to determine what your real reason is? Are you doing it just to lose weight or are there underlying issues? I have Ulcerative Colitis and despite the tons of money I've spent on medicine, nothing has really helped. The guy from the movie also had an Autoimmune Disease. This is why I started it. The key is to make sure that you are being supervised by a doctor. Good luck on whatever you decide to do.

Veggie Juice Recipe

Yield: Four 8oz. glasses

Ingredients

4 Med sized ripe tomatoes
2 celery stalks
2 carrots
1 Orange (wedges) or Apple (cored but unpeeled)
1 Lemon (skinned wedges)
1 Lime (skinned wedges)
Berries (optional)
1 Tbsp Hot sauce (optional but strongly recommended)
2 Tbsp Omega 3 Oil from flax seeds
1 C Cold Water

Cooking Directions

Puree everything together in a blender.
Add water if you want the juice to be thinner.

The important thing is to use a blender and not a juicer as in the trailer. Why throw away all that nutritious fiber that gets extruded from a juicer? Not that I am endorsing any particular brand of blender, but I love my Vita Mix blender. It is powerful and blends anything!
Cheers!
