Juicing Forum

hello everyone,

i am going to start juicing and i had questions about energy for exercise.

will i have enough energy to do my elliptical?

will i have enough energy to do 2-3 hours of my thrash metal drumming?

i usually do both in one day and that is what i was concerned about. thanks for the website and all of your help and insight!

also, should i do a juice meal replacement or a fast? i need to lose 60 pounds and i work out of my home so i have enough time to juice.

sincerely,
andy

thank you so much! do you know from experience about how much this costs to do each week? i want to do a full juicing plan but when i did medifast, drinking those small drinks didn't work. i needed food. will this be different? thank you,andy

so with working out, i won't feel like i need more? i am a type 2 diabetic who beat it early on and i am nothing for it and can eat what i want but if i don't get enough food or (nutrition), i feel sick and i have to eat. will this be enough for me? what should i do if i need more energy? do you have a particular energy recipe? your help is most appreciated!

i guess my main question is: will juicing make your stomach feel like it is full like whole foods do?

Juicing will readjust your body and mind. Some people can get full on a slice of pizza while others feel the need to eat a whole pizza in order to have that full feeling. Most people are surprised at how full they are when they juice. You're going to have to try it out to understand Andy.

That's one of the more natural and better carbonated waters out there. It won't interfere with your fast at all. Enjoy Andy!

You're most welcome Andy!

It's best to core your apples and peel your lemons. Joe also mentioned if you don't normally eat it, don't juice it. Do you usually eat apple seeds and lemon rinds? The lemon rinds will make your juice bitter so it's best to peel them.

Look over the substitution list, I'm sure Basil is on there. Good luck Andy!

It's most likely the ginger Andy. While ginger is great for you and your fast, it is also harsh and some people don't take to it too well. Try cutting the amount of ginger in half and see if that helps. If it doesn't, try removing it completely and see if the juice is still too strong. If it is, we will narrow it down and figure out what in the juice is to harsh and come up with a suitable replacement. So try cutting back on the ginger and let me know if that's it Andy.

on a darker side, is explosive diarrhea common after 2 shakes? i only ate fruit yesterday so i had a lot of fiber but i went this morning and before your email, i had to run! i have ibs so i welcome going but not like this. i figure it is a phase but since we are juicing, is this going to happen the whole time? thanks again!

HI everyone, I am new to Juicing. I pick my juicer up this afternoon. The fridge is full of veg and fruit. I am both really excited and very nervous. I have read some great success stories. I can wait to get home and start my new life. I am anxious tho as vegetables are not my favorite things to eat. Does anyone have any advice for my first juice session or any good recipies for beginners. Thanks

Don't be nervous Simon, juicing is going to make such a positive impact on your health. All the recipes are good ones, try the morning glory one listed on the plan. It's one of the most popular. I'm sure you will enjoy it. Keep us posted with your status and know that I'm here if you have any questions.

Andy, I hope you're having a fantastic day! How is everything going for you today?

day 3:

i was very tired last night and i slept better than i have in a long while. i lost 1.4 pounds since yesterday for a total of 5.6 pounds. i bought some more produce to try different things. i drank less green juice yesterday so maybe that is why not much weight loss compared to the day before. will keep posting.

thanks for the words donnie! i watched joe's dvd yesterday and it is impressive how many people jumped on the bandwagon. i know i could not get that reaction up here in cleveland, georgia. they live on lard,gravy,and everything fried. i will keep you updated and thanks again for the help. you are an invaluable source and i will tell more people about this site!

sincerely,
andy
