Before I Start...
on: June 4, 2013, 18:08

Hello, first off this is an awesome forum with from what I can tell great and helpful people. As the topic states I wanted to ask a couple questions before starting a juicing fast.

I will probably buy the recommended Hamilton juicer but my question is if I were OK with spending a little more money what would some other options be? Just figured I'd hear what others might suggest. Secondly, the week before you start juicing I read you should eat raw fruits and veggies before you start. I wanted to know what your typical day looked like doing that. I look forward to your answers!

Kjnes, welcome to JOJ! Congrats on decided to do a juice fast! The Hamilton Beach juicer is good but if you want to spend a little more the only other one's I would suggest are the other two listed on this page:

My typical pre-juice days consist of me eating fruits and veggies as I feel hungry. I don't really sit down to meals of huge plates of veggies but pretty much snack on them throughout the day as I feel hungry. This keeps a consistent flow through my system and gets me prepared for my juice fast.

On your juice fast stick to 4-6 juices per day with each being 16-20 ounces and you'll be off to a great start! Hope this helps Kjens, happy juicing!

I was 212 lbs before I started juicing, today I am 185 lbs and feel better than I did 10 years ago!

Thanks for Thorpe response it's much appreciated! Both nervous and excited to start. One last question,you recommend to drink a juiced lemon and warm water in the morning. Do you count that towards one of your 4-6 juices on juicing days and if you don't how soon after is your first juice?

No, I don't count that as one of the 4-6 juices. The water with lemon will really help to get you going in the morning, aid in the cleanse, and promote a strong and healthy start each and every day of your fast. I usually take my first juice within a half hour to an hour of the lemon water.

Don't be nervous, you can do this. It's really easy once you get over the cravings. After a few days you will start to crave the juice and feel the benefits of it all.

Thanks again for such a speedy and informative response. Well I just placed my order for my juicer, I went with the Cuisinart. I'll probably start the pre-juice week Friday and be juicing some time next week! I'll be sure to come back and let ya know how it's going.

That is great Kjens! The Cuisinart is a great choice. It's very quiet and makes awesome juice! We are starting a group juice fast on Monday the 10th so I hope you can join us.
