Juicing Forum

So i totally slacked the first day! I slept in this morning and worked 12 hours, so I had to eat on the run which i was pretty disappointed about..but im loving this feeling of a community..so i've got ally my juices prepared for tomorrow and i can't wait to get started!

Hi I'm new to the board and am in my 5th day of my first juice fast and things are going pretty good. I have been experiencing horrible leg pain and some back pain, the headaches our gone now. Not feeling super hungry I think its the idea a want or having food. So I have read you can exercise and you shouldn't, any suggestions? I am hoping I get my boost of energy soon, today was better then the first few days.

Good morning everyone! I hope you're all having a fantastic day 2 so far! Let's go strong today and juice with some passion!

Hi everyone,
bblythe that juice sounds amazing! sounds perfect when you're having the sweet cravings (which i get a lot!)

I'm just about to have my second juice of the day..im definitely craving a full meal, but I'm finishing off my morning glory (it makes a lot of juice!) everytime i get a hunger pang i have lemon herbal tea and water..i hope I'm drinking enough! But feeling great so far

@Gr8fulal: I just finished my 4th juice fast...I started with a 7 day, and have done two 3 days and a 5 day at 2 week intervals. I have a very physical job and I work out seriously and regularly. I don't stop during juice fasts. I do use a veggie protein isolate (unflavored and without a lot of additives) and I mix a scoop into the juice that I drink immediately after my workout and often into the one after that. I might not work out quite as strenuously as when I'm not on a fast, but honestly I haven't noticed much of a difference in my energy level. So I say do it, but listen to your body and don't OVER-do it. The protein supplement helps. If you're experiencing serious detox symptoms then you might want to wait until they subside a little, although a little light exercise might help with that too. Again, listen to your body.

Good luck and happy juicing!

Hi Group, This i had to share.

I had a very bad experience on Monday and been sick since then. I got food poisoning. I started vomiting and diarrhea ( i call it double Dragon) 2 hours after i had my 1st Juice of the day on the 10th June so i had to rush to the hosp n' the Dr Confirmed it was food poisoning and after i told him what i had eaten he was convinced the poisoning could be from a result of not washing the fruits properly ( which i did, i always wash my fruits n' veggies with warm water)So i was on re-hydrants but i now doing okay. So i was off juicing yesterday but am back at it today hence today counts as my 1st day of juice fast.

A piece of advice to all Juicers ' lets make sure we wash the fruits and veggies properly prior to Juicing"

Cheeers

I will continue my juicing for at least 10 days! Feeling energized and its getting easier;)

I will certainly think about two weeks as I get closer to 10. Thank you for your support!!!!

1. Yes first fast
2. Most certainly will!
3. Watching people eat!
4. Fantastic!
5. I learned that I don't have to depend on food to feel satisfied;)

JOJ, When are having another group fast???? we should do it soon......

Lets keep juicing...........

Hi Irene, Congrats on your weight loss and for making it 8 days..woo hoo!!!
I am on day 3, it has been hard at night, but over all very easy during the day, I had started out just wanting to see if I could do it a few days, now I want to take it further and do the 30 day fast...I will not weigh myself until next week..wish me luck!!

Tinkerbabe, Congrats on day 3 and welcome to JOJ! I found nights to be the hardest also. I would typically snack at night before bed. Just keep your goals in mind and your will power intact and you'll do fine!

Cherry, I usually don't let my juices sit any longer than 8 hours but some people have gone longer without any issues. Just make sure they are sealed in airtight containers and filled to the top. Don't be afraid to add a little water if you have to.

Heartburn, just go easy on the lemon and ginger and make sure you are drinking plenty of water throughout the day.

Have a juice no later than an hour or two before you go to bed. Remember, the nutrients will sometimes give you a rush of energy, so don't drink too close to bed time or you might not sleep.
