Juicing Forum

I'm going to be starting a juice fast on Monday, April 22nd if anyone is interested in joining me. I'll be posting updates, what juices I'm making, and pictures throughout those 3 days, and I encourage you to do the same. If you're interested just respond in this thread and let me know if you'll be juicing with me! I'm looking forward to juicing with a few of you!

That's great JuicerJohn! I'm gathering some ideas for new juices and I'm looking forward to trying out some hot juices too.

Allison, great to have you starting with us on Monday. It will be an awesome three days.

Just two more days till we all start our 3 Day Juice Fast! I'm excited!

Welcome sssudekum! We're glad to have you joining us on our first Group Juice fast here at JustOnJuice.com. It will be great! This is your first time so I'm sure you will get hooked like the rest of us If you have any questions we will be here for you.

That would be wonderful if your roommates would also join up with us here on the forum.

Hi! I was thinking to start my fast tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure now I want to wait until monday!

Hi Jessica,

Whether you start tomorrow or on Monday, you are more than welcome to fast with us.

Welcome aboard, and God bless!

You're awesome Stefanie! Happy to have you with us! Let's see how many from the 3 Day will continue on to do 7 Day. I'm willing to bet after a good 3 days of juicing, a few of us will join you and finish out with 7 days.

Today I've tried to juice fast, but after my breakfast juice and felt a little sick. I don't mean weak, because it was just a few minutes after.
While drinking it, I actually liked the taste! For real! And I felt great! But, as I said, after a little while the taste 'left' was making me kind of sick..
I didn't drink the 16oz of water after, though! Do you think it will make a difference next time? Maybe the water will help me to clean the taste left on my digestive sistem.
So I had something solid for breakfast.
Feel free to comment, everyone! I really need some adice to have a fresh start tomorrow

The second juice I made is the "Red Hot Juice" from the Reboot Kitchen that I posted on the Recipes forum yesterday,

http://www.justonjuice.com/forum/justonjuice-forum-group1/juicing-recipes-forum2/from-the-reboot-kitchen-red-hot-juice-thread15/

I followed the recipe pretty closely with 2 exceptions:

I was able to get cluster tomatoes on sale at Whole Foods yesterday, so I used 8 of those since they are fairly small. Also, rather than Chile peppers I used my favorite Pepper Plant Hot Sauce, the "Habanero Extra Hot".

This recipe, as I made it, produced a full quart and a half of juice. To that I added 1 tsp of the hot sauce which gave it an incredible flavor with just the right bite. I love it!

Oh, and now is one of the times I wish I had a Brevelle juicer rather than the Omega. The Omega leaves a fair amount of pulp, which is fine ordinarily, but for a fast all pulp really needs to be removed. The strainer that comes with the Omega is way too small and would add an hour to juicing time if used. So, I will be doing the best I can until I can come up with another solution.

I forgot to add, I did make a couple of other minor changes to the Reboot recipe.

First, lemon or lime goes into virtually every juice I make, as does ginger, Also, whenever I deem it appropriate, I will always add a clove or two of garlic. Finally, when i saw this recipe, I thought, how could they make this juice without cilantro? So, there is cilantro in it as well.

Maybe I should call it, "Juicer John's Reboot Kitchen Red Hot Juice".

Thanks, everyone! I'm really excited, heading to get my produce now! I have one question, I have read other places before that you should refrain from exercise while on a juice fast, do you think it would be okay to still do some light cardio such as walking or riding my bike?

Congratulations everyone!!!!! I'm so thrilled that we are all doing a group fast tomorrow! A few ideas... Take pictures of your preparation and your juices. If you try something you like, you'll be able to easily refer back to it.

Take before pictures of yourself - If you do decide to go on to the 7 day or the 14 day you will want before and after pictures

Try to visit the forum and post as often as you can, it's motivational to you, and to others when they see you post. It's great to ask questions, post your feelings, your ideas, your thoughts, anything really.

It's also a huge time saver to prep your juices ahead of time. I often pre-cut the ingredients and store them in gallon size freezer bags until I'm ready to juice them.

One more quick tip... YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
