Juicing Forum

Hi all, I have been poking around and reading all your wonderful posts about juicing, I have a Breville juicer thats a year old and used twice...I am a 56 year old female work out regularly and run 12-20 miles weekly. I am noticing that weight is creeping up and what was the last 10 lbs is now 15. I just don't have any more available time to devote to the gym...so I am ready to try a juice fast my question is how to get the protien I need while juicing? Typically I am a big Non-fat yogurt and fish consumer I am not fond of powders and substitutes is there any fruits and vegetables that will do the trick and taste good too?

Thanks for your speedy response... Ok, I am in no more excuses. Going to start with the 3 day fast

I made a juice breakfast with what i had in the fridge, apple, peach and carrots i was going to have oatmeal. The apple, peach and carrots would have been snacks for the day.... I told my husband and he immediately said "you juiced!!! I want to juice" so I made the trip to the grocery store .... he usually has allergic reaction to fruit with rinds (watermelon, honeydew, melons and banana) so he rarely eats fruit and is a carnavor all the way. I made the v-8 juice last night and he downed it with gusto! Our plan is to try a different recipe each evening until we have a good idea what he can tolorate without a reaction and then we are going for the 7 day fast. I will say this after yesterdays "breakfast" juice which tasted awesome I got a rush that I can't explain almost light headed but then about 20 minutes later I was full of energy and that lasted until 2pm then I got hungry. Awesome

Doreen, as your body adjusts to the juice, so does your mind. You start to not crave things that you once craved. You're taste buds even reset. Some things that used to taste good, won't anymore. Your body is recognizing all the nutrients you've started giving it. You'll soon have cravings for the juice!
