You look fabulous!!! Is this just two days a week? And could you tell us, how difficult was this in the beginning, what were the hardest months?

I'm starting it today. It is a natural extension of 5:2 which gave me a 10 lb lost over past month. For me on 5:2, the day after the fast is not particularly huge, it is the second and third day after. I think Varady also mentioned that somewhere.

I've lost 10 in just over a month. Find it easier than other diets. May go to alternate day fasting. Suggest "laying out" the foods to eat on a fast day the day before so choices don't mix you up.

You didn't say if you are losing or not.

You threaten people. Losing weight threatens the status quo of others.

Well, I am not a shrink but my husband is. Will have to ask him if I needed a temporary sense of superiority. Did not understand why everyone was against juicing and still do not. However thank you for replying. END OF MESSAGE

Well I asked and you answered. I don't buy your objections, but you answered. :smile:

I am eating three to four days a week and juicing the other days. Why I should eat pathetic little meals, weighing out foods, obsessing over every grain of rice, eating six times a day (an insulin trigger) is beyond me. Cannot do it. I have lost weight by juicing and am continuing to keep it off by juicing. Why cant…

Kale and spinach do ok.

I notice more men are ANTI-JUICING than women:smile:

There are alot of people here and on the reboot site who last quite a bit of weight. Of course NO DIET is for a few months only, it has to become a way of life. And that is why I am continuing to juice some days to keep the weight off.

I don't buy into the detox thing. But I do buy into a great way to pack alot of nutrients into a small package.

Why is it a bad idea if you want to retain muscle?

Juicing is one of the simplest things to do. Just juice the damn stuff and drink it. I get fat, protein and fiber.

I am juicing and lost weight. I have also tracked everything I have eaten in the last two plus months. I am maintaining my weight now. So?

So juiced fruits and vegetables are not legit?

So drinking the juice of a fruit or vegetable is like taking cortisone?

Bump. I have been trying to find a good answer to your question.

What agenda? Fat man goes on diet, doctor supervised, and regains his health and loses weight. Another man like him does the same. What is the agenda?

Why can't people sustain it? Clearly some people have....

Many people, many cultures have been fasting for thousands of years, so no, fasting is not a fad. I just got off of a major weight loss with the Fat, Sick juicing and I am looking to maintain the loss with 5:2 or some other sort of intermittent fasting. It appeals to me for a number of reasons. Among them the simplicity of…

What agenda is that?

Mine didn't.

I have pics but they are for my eyes only. Of course pics can be doctored so why believe them?

I just left a 50 day reboot, lost 27 pounds. I have yet to get the blood work back. Never felt better. How are you doing on maintenance.

I am on the FSND diet since July 1. Started at 185 and am now 161. I have only a few lbs left to lose. After the first week, it is really rather easy. I don't eat the greens rather than juicing (you can do that if you wish) simply because I cannot eat all that food, 2 lbs of kale, 4 cucumbers, 8 apples, bunch of celery, 2…

Everyone, Thank you!!!! These are all great ideals. Leslie Sansone, checking Amazon for it.
