Juicing Forum

I am a 50 yr old woman who is sick and tired of being tired! Quit smoking 3 weeks ago and now am jumping into juicing.

This morning was good but I am used to drinking a protein drink in the a.m. My husband talked me into coming up with my own recipe for lunch. Will not do that again! Lol! I think it was the beet

Anyway, I am hoping to be able to get up and do my boot camp in the morning. Exercise is the only good addiction that I have

Looking at losing some weight, also. All in all I need to lose about 50 but would be happy for any amount before going to Hawaii on Oct 3rd.

Feeling sleepy...

Thanks! I feel almost drunk! Lol! I did tale a nice walk and will see how I feel in the a.m. Happy to not feel sick, etc. Going to give in to a book on the couch 😉

Well, made it through day 1... Not easy. Don't know if I'm feeling yuk cuz I haven't really liked the juices that I have made today or deriding. The thought of even food makes me shudder.

Terikiley, try taking a look at the substitution list: http://www.justonjuice.com/juicing-substitution-list/ It will give you some other ideas for celery.

Your taste will adjust throughout the fast. It sounds weird but you'll understand what I'm saying after a few days. At about day 3 I was starting to crave the juice and the taste. A big difference from my first day. If you're not liking the juices, feel free to experiment. Use the substitution list as a start. Take one or two ingredients that you're not fond of and just replace them with something else from the list. Hope this helps.

Also, congrats on making it through day 1! You've already done the hard thing by getting started and actually making it through the first day. Keep me posted and let me know how things go for you. I'm here if you have any questions.

I am struggling right now.... Night of day 4 and the only thing that has saved me is my husband who made me a soup. I can barely think of juicing something without feeling sick I'm so bummed. I am on Chantix for not smoking and wonder if that has something to do with it. I can't even go near the Juicer when he is juicing. It's crazy.....I started this and my husband who had no desire to change his unhealthy habits is running with this and the only reason I've continued....help

Thanks! I'm pushing on through day 5......I guess I feel like I'm not detoxing cuz the only symptom I have is nausea when I have to drink a juice. Had lost 6 lbs but gained 2 this morning... Live outside Boulder so homebound for a couple of days where I would usually be drinking and eating wings!

Went off yesterday( day 6) because I was so miserably nauseous. Did a smoothie in the morning and a piece of chicken and salad for lunch. I had more energy then I'd had in those 6 days! Couldn't stop me! I don't know. Still, every time I see the Juicer, I feel nauseous. Made myself eat cucumber and celery yesterday and initially felt it but got through it. I lost about 8 pounds and feel much better so I don't regret doing it and will try to keep it in my diet but it also really taught me how I can be hungry and don't need so much food! Still on a health kick! Thanks so much for your support and good luck everyone!
