3 Day Fast starting on Friday, July 5
on: June 26, 2013, 20:54

Hello everyone! I'm a first-timer and I am really excited!! I have struggled with some weight issues for most of my young adult life. I have gotten better over the years because I have started exercising. But my fitness and health aren't were they should be because I have horrible eating habbits. I have a serious caffine addiction and I eat when I am bored. I need to break these habbits because they are holding me back in so many ways. I feel like they keep me from performing at 110% when I work out and I know that if I don't break them soon, they will only get worse as I get older. Since I have some time before the fast, I am going to prep my body so that the transition won't be so hard.

My "Pre-Fast" Goals are as follows:
No coffe
No added sugar
Learn when I am actually hungry and not craving something
No processed foods

I have scheduled the fast so that they fall on my rest days. I don't want to rest for more than 3 days, so if I feel like I can continue the fast and workout I will do so. I read that I can eat a lean protein or use pure protein powder so I will keep that in mind! :) My short term goal with this fast is to complete it. I am hoping it will "reset" my appetite and change my relationship with food for the better. My long term goal is to have a healthy and efficient body. I would like to eventually lose the 10-15 pounds I have gained when eating became my hobby not my fuel.

This is going to be a challenge, but it will all be worth it in the end! Feel free to join me. I look forward to meeting all of you! Have a wonderful day!!!!

Smilesallthetime, welcome to JOJ and congrats on deciding to do a juice fast. It seems like you have your pre fast days all figured out. That's great! While you are on your juice fast, don't eat anything. Having a protein is great to ease you into a juice fast but if you are already on a juice fast it's a no-no!

You don't want to include solids of any kind while on a juice fast. The only exception may be if you're a body builder and losing muscle mass is an issue. Same with the protein powder. Just stick to the juice and you will do exceptionally well.

If you want to lose 10-15 pounds I would suggest you take the plunge and go for a solid week of juice fasting. I'm sure you will lose at least 10 pounds if you stick to it and stay focused for 7 days. After all, once you get through 3 days, you're already past the hard part so why stop? You can do it, keep me posted and I'll be here if you have any questions or need any help.

"Willpower is essential to the accomplishment of anything worthwhile." Keep this in mind while on your fast!

I was 212 lbs before I started juicing, today I am 185 lbs and feel better than I did 10 years ago!

Hey irene, I actually decided to start today. After I left my post I looked at my juicer and thought "there's no time like the present." I made a juice this morning and it was really good! I didn't feel completely full, but I wasn't starving. I had a bottle of water and that helped. I am just so used to eating way too much. My definition of "full" is very skued. I know this will help though. :)

smilesallthetime, that's great that u finally pushed your self...and true say there's no time like the present...keep juicing and share any concerns with the forum and we will be here to support each other....well make sure you juice 18-20 oz per Juice and try and drink at least 4 juices per day and drink them when your hungry as they will help you suppress your hunger and you will fill full. Having a glass of water or two after drinking your juice is the best thing you need to do.....Keep Juicing

JOJ, Thanks for appreciating my comments and thanks to you because we all meet in this forum which you created...my life is slowly changing from the moment i clicked in your link...i'm living a very healthy life and am enjoying...........Cheers
