Juicing Forum

Hi Jessica, there may be better replacements that I am unaware of, but I would go with romaine lettuce. It's pretty neutral in flavor and the white part at the bottom of the leaves is pretty water packed.

Almost 5 and feeling good.. A little lightheaded but not hungry

Rich, that's good! You'll feel that way as your body starts to detox. What are you juicing for dinner?

Are you guys all on the east coast? I'm in Arizona, curious where everyone is at.

Jeanne, you should try this out, it's a great juice to hold you over for a while.

2 part Orange
1 part Carrot
a few raspberries, or strawberries to taste.

It's a bright orange and is great to sip on over ice.

How unfortunate! Both my roommates have dropped out (well, one quite before she even start)... Which is so sad because I am feeling great! I am usually such a snacker but I've only had my lemon water, bfast drink, and lunch drink and I feel satisfied and good! If not more focused in school... Maybe I am responding better because I am a vegan, and my one roommate who actually tried bfast and lunch juices is a carnivorous omnivore...

Anyway, I am definately sticking it out for the three days, maybe longer ;D

Yes, you most certainly can Allison. I'd stay away from the black teas though as they are high in caffeine. Green teas do to so drink them sparingly.

@Donnie, thanks! I'll do that tomorrow!

I had carrots/cukes/spinach for a snack, I'll be having dinner in a few minutes. I'll check out the fb page.

Well, I made it through the day in spite of a rough start with some tough cases at work. Had some fun stuff to do in the afternoon, though, and I'm feeling pretty good now. I'll be going to bed early, though!

I made a fun juice for dinner, which I'll post in recipes. I'm calling it Rainbow Juice because of all the fun colors in the foam on top as it came out of the juicer.

1/2 head romaine
3 stalks celery
1 Persian cucumber
2 carrots
1 small beet including the greens
1 cup sugar snap peas
1 lemon

I think it needs something to spice it up just a tad, like Juicer John's hot sauce, some ginger or a half of a jalapeno. Or some extra fruit, like strawberries or an orange for breakfast. In spite of that, it was the best juice I've made so far.

Day one is done and I feel great, no hunger, no headaches yet. I wrapped up the day with Dinner Sunset Passion and got prepared for tomorrow with a ziplock bag of veggies.

So how did everyone do on the first day? Great,it was easier than I thought it would be
What kind of obstacles are you hitting? none so far... except i need a thermos and ice pack to take it to work
How are you feeling after 1 full day? mentally, evergized, physically normal
Hardest part of juicing for you is? visiting my mom after work and walking into her kitchen

Thanks for sharing your experiences, it helps me to stay focused

Excellent! I always feel great after day 1. It's a great feeling knowing that you did it. When I first juiced I would challenge myself in different ways. Early on in my first fast I took my boys out for a fun eventful day. It was hard watching them and everyone else eat all these foods I used to enjoy. Setting up challenges for yourself will test your will power but also encourage you in a big way.

First day was awesome, I love the first day feeling!

No obstacles yet, I have a good routine down. But it is tempting when cooking dinner for my boys.

The hardest part for me is when I get invited out for lunch. I try to reschedule for an off day or I let them know I can meet up but can't eat. But who wants to go to lunch with someone who doesn't eat...

The main thing is to just keep your focus for these three days and see where it takes you.

Lemon water & Green Giant for breakfast. I couldn't find any pomegranate seeds so I just used a tiny bit of POM juice instead. It is pretty good. Yesterday was relatively easy but I have a feeling today will be a bit harder. I am feeling a little light headed this morning so I hope this Green Giant kicks in soon! Happy Tuesday!

I've been sticking to the three recipes from the "3-Day juice fast" plan, just to cut down on effort haha. All the juices were my favorite but the bfast one is probably my favorite... I was craving it this morning.

This is has a lot easier then I thought. I LOVE eating, so whenever I walk into the kitchen my mind automatically goes to what I could bring with me to snack on; I never realized how much time I set aside to snack! I'm alwasy on the move and in class many hours a day followed almost directly by work. Like today, had breakfast before my morning class at 7:30am but unles my afternoon class gets out early, I wont have time for my lunch juice

Hunger isn't a problem, I feel satisfied and even a little too full after a juice. This whole process is really getting me familiar with my body and what feelings of hunger/boredom/habit really are. So so far, a very valuable experience!
