Juicing Forum

Mitche50, welcome! Congrats on quitting smoking! That's a tough accomplishment. If you can do that you can surely juice!

Lizerdmama, The only factor in keeping the weight off is your will power to maintain healthy eating habits. It will come back if you go back to bad eating habits regardless of how fast or slow you lose it. Go for just juice and you won't regret it. After all, it's only 3 days to a great healthy start. Keep us posted.

So...this is definitely tricky. I work in a pizza shop and when the wings came out of the oven today I was so tempted. I stayed with my juice though. But days aren't going to be the rough part for me, it's the evenings I'm dreading (I am always more hungry in the evening for some reason). I am really excited to be making this change, I just hope I have enough willpower to make is all the way through!

Good evening and prayers to the people in Oklahoma. Wanted to clarify my meds that I got off, my doctor told me to only take it when needed so I am following instructions Donnie, but again I am going for bloodwork on Friday and will see my doctor on Tuesday so I am being monitored. Just got off treadmill, only doing 30 minutes- but want to be consistent. My shorts are getting looser, good news. Another day almost over, will make my juice in a bit. Remember you'll get through the first 3 days, then it will get better. Good night everyone!

No worries Rhea! Just glad you can join us! I know that sluggish & dirty feeling you mentioned. It's bad and I feel so relieved after I've juiced for a few days. I'm sure after a day or two you'll also start to feel that relief along with all the other benefits of juicing!

Hey Laura! I had a good day of juicing. 5 juices total today and it was plenty. I'm feeling good, full, and very positive. I love how juicing gives me a positive feeling throughout the day. One day down, and a few more to go. I think I'll go for 5 days this time around. Anyone with me?

Good Morning! I just made myself the MEAN GREEN JUICE & I'm pleasantly surprised by the the sweet flavour, my husband was as well he even wants to start a juice fast when he gets home from a business outing! As well my 3 year old daughter helped me make the juice & I gave her a little in a cup, she seems to like it! I think partly due to the fact that she helped & thought it was COOL! But whatever works! Question...should I still take my vitamin D & B and Omega 3's?

Congrats everyone for getting through the first day! It's truly an amazing milestone and sets the path for the next few days. Just stay strong and replicate what you did yesterday to make it through the next few days. It only gets easier from here on out!

Remember, hunger and cravings are different and you'll come to notice the difference the longer you juice. Put those cravings in their place and don't give in to them!

Mitche, good job in not giving into those late night cravings! 5 Days will go by fast, just stay focused and repeat to yourself that you will do just juice for those 5 days. Funny about the Kale, I've emptied my local stores supply on a few occasions haha.

Rhea, the flavor combos that you can come up with are pretty amazing! That's great that you're getting the family involved. I often have my sons help me out. They get the biggest kick out of throwing produce down the shoot and watching the juice come out. They even enjoy the juices that they make. It's win win for all of us. I would avoid taking any vitamins as you'll be getting plenty from the juice. Save your vitamins for when your off the fast.

Laura, Enjoy your day off! You sure deserve one! I find that juice fasting gets so much easier each time you do it. I have to force myself to stop and go back to solids after a while once I get to my target weight. Have fun at the gym, I'll check back in later.

Lizerdmama, granny smith apples are your best bet. They have the lowest amount of sugar out of all the varieties of apples.

You're right on! I always save the cucumber for last due to the fact it pushes everything else out.

Congrats on Day 3, just make sure you're feeling good for your activity level. Keep Juicing!

Made it through another day! I can definitely feel the cravings though. Just sticking with it and I know it will get better.

Day 2 is just about over everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful day and stayed on the juice! I know it's tempting and you probably want to take a bite out of something but there's only one day left and let's finish this out strong!

Hey guys,

I ran into some trouble. I usually make 2 16oz juices for while I'm at work, and the 2 that I made are completely disgusting. I don't know what went wrong with them, but they are unbearably bitter and sour. I have a salad bar downstairs that I think I will hit for a small salad to hold me over until tonight ...

Unfortunately I need to juice at night, because I live with someone who doesn't get up as early as I do and the juicer is too loud in the morning. My morning juices are fine, maybe I will have to just stick to morning juice and do a salad in the afternoon. I ended up getting a tomato soup, which was the closest to a juice that I could find ... But I'll still make my dinner to finish out the three days. I don't think it's quite feasible for me to have juice at work, but I'll definitely keep up the breakfast juice!

Mitch, I had a really disgusting sour juice the last time around. I know what fermentation smells like and it wasn't that...I just forgot to put an apple in with a combination of veggies that was pretty bitter. If I make a similar juice with apple or some kind of fruit it's fine, although now when I make a juice that's the same color as that one I have to hide it in a non-transparent container or my brain just expects it to taste awful. So watch your combinations. Good luck!
