  • I have done several to varying degrees of success. The biggest problem I have is always getting in enough calories. You have to juice A LOT. The benefits I've found are that it does reset my palate and it gives my digestion a rest. I also juice as part of my everyday routine to help get in more nutrients. I am considering…

  • You should read this article by Mark Bittman on the New York Times: http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/02/27/its-the-sugar-folks/?src=me&ref=general ("It's the sugar, folks!")

  • I have 80 lbs to lose and I am following the strength training plan in the book New Rules of Lifting for Women. I am not following the nutrition plan, though, nor am I adhering to the advice to skip cardio (I'm doing 3-4x week). After five weeks, I am starting to see results.

  • I did the Whole30 last year. I did lose some weight, but it didn't make me feel more energetic and it didn't help with my digestive issues.

  • I have a juicer and I love it for getting in extra veggies (and some fruits). I keep it on the counter so I use it nearly every day. My favorite book for juicing is Super Juice: Juicing for Health and Healing.
