Juicing Forum

GM-time for lemon and water again this morning. Just wanted to share I had my 16 oz of juice in the morning and felt fabulous. Ate a very light lunch, came home and had some dinner-flour tortilla/beans and my energy dropped to zero-ugh!!! Love the energy I feel on the natural organic food. Still flirting with my juicing daily to get me ready to go. Looking forward to my new morning drink today. "It's not that some people have willpower and some don't.

- James Gordon- JUICE ON!!!

The brand of nutritional yeast is NOW.I've been using in juices,and it is a good filler.However since this is my first 3 day juice,I will see how it goes.Read my profile.I want to eventually be a living example for weight loss by juice fasting.When I am not fasting,I will just eat veggies,and fruit,.Then use my Food Lovers Program,when I need some regular food.Also you ,how do you measure the amount of ginger to juice.you wrote about 1 inch,please expand on that.Like a 1 inch cube,or what?

Just starting this fast group. I'd like to drop 30 pounds for good

GM here I am drinking my lemon water and my juice is ready to go. A little struggle this morning-have to get up super early to get all this done cause I got home late last night. Almost didn't feel like doing it...but I know it's just the Friday phase...would love to stay home today...long exhausting week. But hey, it's done and I have to continue acting on the will to change...Here's to juicing, one day at a time...looking forward to Monday!

Corpusmae, hopefully your weekend is relaxing! You deserve it!

Lia, Congrats on starting! Just set yourself up for success and read everything you can! Make sure you set time to juice, prepare a plan for each day, and follow through with it. Get on a schedule that ensures you will have the time and convenience to juice each day.

Try not to look, smell, think about, or dream about those tiny strawberry shortcakes!!! Haha! Just set your mind to juicing, and you will achieve your goal. I'll be here for you.

Relaxing already...beauty shop and manicure...feel better already! Know it will be even better once I am past 3 days on my fast...onward:)

Monday is just a few days away! Make sure you guys have what you need and start easing up on the eating by eating light foods and plenty of fresh fruits and veggies today and tomorrow. Monday is the start of our 3 Day Group Juice Fast!

Corpusmae, just stay strong and don't tempt yourself with foods. If you have to, go out and take a walk, and think about your goals and how you will feel in a few days on your juice fast! You're really doing great, just keep it up!

Okay, I just posted on FB that I was doing this juice fast with the hopes of turning it into a 7-Day fast. I'll be posting my juices and my weightloss. I figure this will give me more accountability. I posted this website in hopes of getting people to join me. I'm going to do this!

Sweetrelief, glad to have you joining us! It will be a juicing blast!

Lesfleurs, That's great, you are all set and have everything you need for the fast now! After 3-4 days you should go on to a 7 day, it will fly by and be so much easier than the first 3 days! Keep posting your every day and keep us up to date with how you're doing, it will help to keep you and everyone else motivated.

Zadude, That's crazy but cool that your neighbors keep bringing you food. See if you can place an order ahead of time, maybe you can get them to bring you some fresh fruits and veggies haha!

GM- slept in late today for once- have 3 medications the doctor gave me for these IBS systems. They make me fell whacko. Yesterday at work I took juices with me- couldn't finish all of my green juice at lunch as I think I put too much ginger in it- felt like I had placed 2 jalapenos in it:) so did the best I could.Did eat a little but not much- I am just wondering how I am going to feel with just juice with these meds as I felt a little dizzy until I ate a little rice. But today is a new day and I am determined to go for it. Let me know any suggestions when it comes to meds and juice. I do feel sluggish right now but am going to get my lemon water and juice for morning. Thanks for all the inspiration from everyone!

Also, I'm curious to know what you all be juicing for your first juice tomorrow. I'll be juicing a mean green as follows:

1 Apple
1/4 Lemon
1/2" Ginger
4 Kale Leaves
4 Celery Stalks
1 Cucumber

I hope everyone is prepared for the next 3 days, it's going to be great! I encourage everyone to post at least once during the day to keep us posted with your experiences, triumphs, and questions. Let's do this together!

It's a huge time saver in the morning to prep and bag the night before. Also, make sure you are putting a plastic bag in your pulp catch, that will cut the cleaning time down by 1/2!

Welcome DJ! It's great to have you juicing with us. It is very exciting to begin a juice fast. Just keep your goals in mind, and set your mind to keep to it for 3 days. It will be a great experience for us all!
