Juicing Forum

hey donnie,

i am not constipated, i am just not having bowel movements. is that normal? i had 2 apples and 2 oranges juiced before i drummed and it was okay but not like when i have a can of tuna. the juice gives me quick energy and then i come down and feel tired. i feel like i should be drinking the juice all day constantly. today is day 6 and this morning, i was down 10 pounds and i went shopping today and stocked up. can i take any protein powder for energy or anything else?

day 7! last night was tough as i wanted everything i saw on tv but my willpower is strong. i only lost .8 pounds last night. if i increase my greens, will i gain more wait by adding them to your recipes? i thought the more green leaves, the better but i have been adding more to get more nutrients.

thanks and i went a little today.

donnie,

i gained a pound. i am juicing 4 times a day and drinking after each juice so why the weight gain? also, the protein powder question?

thanks,andy

i have drummed once for an hour but nothing past that. i need to lose 60 pounds and i have lost 9 pounds in 7 days which i know is good but i did not gain a pound of muscle. do you think i should lower my fruit intake? i noticed that i was mixing your mean green recipe with joe's and his says 2 apples and your says one so i did yours this morning. what about the protein powder?

The protein powder will slow down your weight loss most likely. Less fruit is better if you want to lose that weight. If you're exercising (including drumming) it's possible that you are slowly building muscle. It's normal for kale and spinach to not produce much juice. The juice they do produce is really concentrated though. If you're not getting that much though, then just add more. Use a few handfuls if you have to Andy.

yes you can but try to use stevia as a sweetener.

donnie,

my mom wants to know if you can make the juice thicker? she wants to make it more filling. thanks and today is day 10 and i am down 12 pounds. also, correct me if i am wrong but isn't all tea is decaffeinated?

thanks,
andy

hey donnie,

i drummed yesterday for a longer period of time and i made a shake last night and tried leaving the rinds on an orange. BIG MISTAKE! i just wanted to try it. i think it made me sick. i was at 14 pounds weight loss on friday and i drank 3 shakes yesterday and drummed heavily for over an hour but i drank a lot more water than a non-work out day and today i weighed and it was still 14 pounds. do you think it is water weight? thanks buddy!

andy

but would it make me sick?

yes sir!

Andy, you can make juices and warm them up to eat them like soups. There's a thread in the recipes forum that talks about some soups. You should take a look at it and try a few out. They really help during winter time. But stay away from chicken soup or anything that you don't make out of your juicer until you come off the fast.

Congrats on 2 weeks and 16 pounds Andy! That's really awesome!!!
