Think I had brain fog when I asked that. :) Thanks for the clarification.

True but he said the juice fast rebooted his system and cleared out years of toxins that made him feel awful. His main focus in doing a juice fast wasn't to lose weight - it was to deal with his health problems, namely chronic Urticaria. The weight loss was kind of a side effect. He went from feeling very unhealthy and…

The juicing is to reboot your system, get all the crap out that's been building up for years, and give your body the nutrition it needs to regain health/balance. Once you've done that, you can introduce healthy foods. Although he did the detox for about 60 days, other people did it for a week or 10 days and found it made a…

M.E. is basically Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I'm exhausted all the time, sore a lot, and haven't slept well in about 15 or 16 years. I'd went with the guidelines on MFP, which said that to lose 2lbs a week I should eat 1310 calories. I haven't went over at all, although some days I'm under 1200 just because I'm in bed so…
