Juicing Forum

Thank you so much for the site it seems I am here several times a day when I have questions. The site always has an answer.
I am doing the 2 week plan and had no side effects at all and your recipe's were great.

Just a side note I have misplaced 4.5 poundss in one day.

Thanks to all keep those stories and questions coming.

Day 2 had some headaches but per the site drank more water and it help. Question I know your not supposed to eat late at night but last night I felt hungry. Can you juice before bedtime?

Down 8 pounds for those inquiring about weight-loss.

Stupid question I got a book for more recipes, so I do not get bored. What is the different between Juice recipes to smoothies recipes? Both have lots of vegetables? Thanks for all your help.
Down a total of 10.5 pounds.

Thanks for the clarification on the above. Waiting for the energy buzz everyone else is getting not there yet. Been sleeping on my lunch hour (work from home). Worried about the coming weekend and eating as we normally go out to eat. I know they say you should keep your activity level down but what about riding bikes?

Thanks again for all your help.

Down 12 pounds, for those looking for the weight loss perspective.

fun2ww... congratulations on the weight loss! That's great! I've been juicing for about 2 weeks straight, not a fast, but more juice than solids. I wanted to share my experience on the energy buzz as you put it. I notice for me over the past oh maybe 3 to 4 days, when I drink a juice with more veggies than fruit is when I seem to get a little energy boost. I can feel it within about 15 minutes of drinking the juice. The biggest thing I noticed though is my mind and mood. I feel so happy! It's hard to explain... but I smile more, laugh more... happier! My mind is clearer! I love to read, when I read it seems that I remember more with less effort. One other side effect I've seen is I sleep. I don't wake up every 2 hours any more. When I wake up, I feel refreshed and not sluggish. I used to wake up and see it was light out, and dread the fact that it was time to get up. Now I wake up and see the light, and get right up with energy. Life is just brighter now. I'm going to be starting a fast soon... and I am looking forward to seeing what more will change for me.

You are doing amazing!

Wow Fun!!! Congrats on nearly 16 pounds lost on your first week! That's really great to hear! Keep at it!

Fun, your mind can play a lot of tricks on you during this time. See, when you are juicing you aren't eating any solid food at all. This is hard and you start to notice food all the time just like you did with the food commercials a few days ago. It starts to get to you.

When you finally give into the cravings and eat a meal it makes you happy and your mind feels instantly gratified. That's why you felt like a fog bank had lifted and your head was clear. It's because you gave in and ate.

The first week is always going to be hard. But you lost almost 16 pounds! That's fantastic! If you keep juicing you will only lose more weight. Keep me posted on your progress and let me know how things turn out.
