Juicing Forum

Skin is definitely very much improved already, energy levels still a bit low but I had an early night and this has been my easiest period in years. It is pretty easy going now, I seem to be throwing lemon and ginger in everything, give it all a zing. I'm also doing at least one with garlic a day, and drinking a tea with tumeric in the evening. Am rather looking forward to my hummus and vegetables, only 4 more days...!

Day 12. I have had a nice lie in this morning. I went to the osteopath for some cranial manipulation yesterday, car accident injuries maintenance left a bit too long. My head's quite sore but at least the skin is looking clear, the waistline is looking wonderful and the stomach feels easy and clear. These last few days are going to be fairly cruizey, osteopathy needs gentle care to work.
I have really taken to tomato soup/juice with all those hearty warmers you need in winter (even if it has been stunningly vitamin D inducing sunny). Beautiful day for a nice turmeric tea to easy any inflammation.
Am going to continue with juicing, little 3 day cleanses every few weeks would be a wonderful relief and help keep these gloriously sugar-free taste buds maintained!Thanks for all the support, has really helped me.

That's fantastic Leomie! You're showing great improvement so far. 17 pounds in 12 days! Congrats!

Those warm juices can really make it easier especially during the winter time. Post a few recipes along with pictures sometime.

As I was going to bed i looked at the cat bed AKA my "too skinny" trouser pile. Admittedly covered in fur but i tried a couple of trousers on and WOW! They fit. Even my favourite red ones! Admittedly not hanging from my hips but fitting neatly without tugging! Came through and did a little happy dance and Chris said "perhaps you should stay on it if it makes you this happy" And I am contemplating it, really so happy in this shape, clothes fit and I feel much more myself, my pre-pregnancy self!

Well i tried solid foods, unscientifically as i munched ( really REALLY thoroughly) all the left over carrot and celery sticks from the girls lunch boxes with my super yummy garlic hummus, and that evening had some tomato puree (red sauce for pasta minus the pasta basically) and then had an AWFUL time, stomach cramps and woke up to feel the lot going around my intestines, literally. Horrible. So back onto juice for today and this evening i will have some smoothie and now see I really come off this fast slowly.
Any advice?

I have put my hummus away for now, had a lovely banana smoothie with lots of spinach and a pear, no problems. I thought the hummus would be ok, I was wrong! Had a really good peruse of your how to guide, and am taking it more seriously. Soups and smoothies for a few more days then maybe a salad!

I took coming off the fast easy and have eaten 3 meals today, so that was 6 days to 3 meals,and that seems to have worked well, went out for a slap up meal for a friends birthday last night and had delicious tuna on rocket salad, so pleased to have got on to solids for that. Today had my first grains - smoked fish with rice with veg (no sulphites, sugar or anything) and feeling incredibly full now! Going to have some tea and go to bed, my stomach has shrunk but am going to have a juice for breakfast tomorrow morning, missing my juice! Will probably have a 3 day juice week after next, will spot your next group fast for that! Thanks for your help!
