Good juicer recipes?
I just bought a juicer so any good recipes would be lovely :) Please save your energy and don't give me the chat on how detoxes are unnecessary/ it's not a good diet etc etc. I am not using this as a diet nor a detox, I am using it to make juice to drink when i want a drink of juice.

Lets talk about juice fasting
I am coming from a completely unbiased point here, and first of all I would like to clarify it is not currently something I am considering - I don't even own a juicer!

I had a BFP test on the 7th of February and it said I had 36% fat. I am now working with a trainer to lower that.

However I literally have no idea what rate to expect with BFP, my question is…

HRM Please explain?
I got a Polar FT7 on Friday for my birthday (Thanks Mum) and I loooooove it!

What determines fat burn or fitness? (from my heart rate)
