The advantage is you can consume way more fruits and veggies in liquid form then if you were to just sit down and eat them raw. Plus the nutrients get to your body faster because there is nothing to digest. So there are a few differences :)

Hey everyone sorry I wasn't very good at updating earlier. I will let everyone know how things went! I completed 14 days of fasting and during the last 5 I caught the flu from my husband (who caught if from someone at work). At that point I had lost almost 20 lbs and 3% body fat. I felt that my body needed more then just…

Hey guys I have to make this short! I will be with out Internet for over a week so I'll update when I get back! Hope everyone is doing well as staying strong :)

End of day 9. Wasn't feeling good today. My husband got a cold from someone at work and passed it on to me. So yea, I haven't been too much in the mood to post much. I think I am at the same weight. My scale is a little psycho at times and will give you 3 different readings right in a row. Other times it's the same. So…

Hey guys. I had kind of a rough emotional day today. I'll get on sometime tomorrow to answer some questions and give an update. I am at the end of day 8. As always thanks for the information and support.

Ok I am at the 7 day mark! One week down 3 to go lol. I am down 14 lbs so that's good :) I'm feeling pretty good over all. I had a good spurt of energy today so I got some things done! My headaches are gone for the most part (the really heavy thumping ones anyway). Metal taste is gone thankfully because that was annoying…

Yea I admit I have no clue about water %. I need to study up on it. It just seemed like a high number but I guess it isn't! It's actually gone up to 47% since being on the diet and my fat dropped 3%! So I guess I am on the right track :)

Hmm interesting. I have trouble sleeping mostly due to weird dreams but I don't have trouble breathing. Would sleep apnea still be the case? I guess I thought it ha to do more with breathing. Guess I should do a little research on it.

To the above comments, thank you so much for your support and giving great information to not only me but others who are looking into fasting themselves, and people who just have no clue what they are talking about! It really means a lot to me for you all to take some time and post on here :) I try to be nice to the…

Thanks for your feedback! I may have to start adding water to it too. I was adding pulp in the drink to get fiber but I may have to stop because the shreds of veggies are makin it even more difficult to drink. Best of luck with this next week. It isn't easy :(

I am glad you brought this up :) I want to discontinue fasting the best way possible and I think you said it perfectly. I really do want to make juicing apart of my life after this is over. I want to continue being as healthy as I can be :) Thank you for your suggestions!

Ok update!! End of day 6! Yesterday and today have been the worst as far as hunger goes. Headaches are slowly disappearing thankfully! I hope they don't come back. EVER. I have been having some trouble drinking the juice today. I had to basically choke it down :( anyone have advice for that? I'm trying to keep the juice…

I am so excited for you just jumping in like that! Go you!! You will be SO happy you did. There are so many great benefits you just can't go wrong :) I had to get this out of the way before the holidays lol. Let me know if you ever have questions and please post your results!!

Sounds like you have a great plan easing into it! I am so happy I am doing this for myself :) I can't wait to receive all the benefits from it! You should read testimonies. That's is the most inspiring! You can find them on the fat sick and nearly dead web site. Also there is another one called fitnessthroughfasting.com…

I drink about 12-16 oz each juicing. Typical Day in juicing: Morning: apples, grapes, strawberry (2-3), celery, cucumber, spinach. And sometimes I add kiwi (doesn't juice well though) Afternoon: carrots, kale, celery, cucumber, apples, lemon, ginger (mean green with added carrots) Early evening: same as above (I make a ton…

Hey! No one has really bothered to ask me what my plans are after. They just assume I will go back to the "old habits". Like you read I will do the intermittent fasting but I am also going to eat really healthy. I'm going to have everything grilled, steamed or boiled and fresh! I guess it's just considered to be a low…

I actually am. I am just not responding to it how you want me to. We obviously don't agree with certain things so lets just let it go. I appreciate all your input, it's just not changing my mind about what I am doing. I hope you can understand not everyone will agree with things you say. It's like a fight between democrats…

Thanks for posting that great info. I agree trying to lose 40% of body weight during a fast is a terrible idea. My goal during this one is losing 42lbs which is a little over 20%. I will most likely only lose 32 though because breaking through 200 has always been difficult (which is the main reason I set the goal below…

I am sorry you also had trouble finding good support. There are some people on here that have been super great! And others not so much lol. I do plan on exercising while on my fast. I am going to do lots of yoga, and lots of fast paced walking. I heard its not good to do anything too strenuous so I will save that for after…

Thanks :)

Thank you for all of that information. I just want to clear one thing up however. I don't know where this idea that I am against exercising and eating properly came from, but I am not. I am doing this SO I can succeed in the future with my weight loss goals. I love exercising. It makes me feel refreshed! My depression btw…

Thank you so much for all that information!! I will definitely check that book out! Hopefully I can read it on the iPhone kindle :) It is always great to hear from people who have been through one. I feel as though this has been too easy and it's going to hit me hard soon. So maybe it won't? Lol. Maybe I over prepared for…

Thanks to the above comments for your concern. I am doing really good heading into the end of day 3. I haven't weighed myself yet but I'm sure my weight will fluctuate lots on a daily basis. I drank about 60 oz of juice today so I am sure that puts me well over 1000 calories. I haven't counted how many bottles of water I…

Ok I am getting tired of defending myself :( I think it takes great courage and strength to endure a 30 day reboot. Most people won't even try such a thing because they can't give up things they love. So why are so many people being mean and basically telling me I am going to fail when they probably wouldn't last a few…

I am not sure if are talking about me picking and choosing but I am not really able to respond to every post on here so sorry about that. I know about the ketosis process and am aware that that is the reason for the metal taste. I combined two thoughts in one thing I guess. Obviously I want to get rid of unwanted toxins in…

Okay, so in January I started the hCG diet. I lost about 20 pounds on it after all was said and done. Which isn't that great because you're supposed to lose between one and 3 pounds a day. A few days after I finished the diet I gained back 8 pounds. I'm pretty sure it was mostly water weight because my diet was very good.…

Hello! Glad to see you are back at it. I dieted for two months straight, lost 25 lbs and then pretty much gained it all back plus a little. I need a whole lifestyle change!! Hopefully this will help cut those cravings. I don't calculate my calorie intake on here because it's too difficult with there being two of us…

So I woke up today with a yucky metal taste or smell (wasn't sure lol). I can tell my body is getting rid of lots of toxins! My pores are also opening up, which isn't looking to great on my face because every little black head is surfacing :( I am still not having bad cravings for food. The juice lasts about 3 hours and…

That would be awesome! I am so happy my husband and I started this. The benefits definitely out weigh the cons (hunger for your typical food addictions, headaches) Good luck if you do decide to join in!!

Haha I thought it would be bad but it's actually kinda nice not havin to think about what I am going to eat! Plus the juice tastes really good :)
