Juicing Forum

Hi there I am doing a 5 day juice fast starting on Monday 22nd of July.

I am an athlete and I want to do a 5 day cleanse before I begin a new training regime.

I am doing to juice fast to cleanse and to start my new regime energised and healthy.

This is my first juice fast. However due to the nature for my sport I am very familiar with going on diets and shedding weight.

A juice fast seems like a healthy way to give your body a break and recuperate.

Is anyone else starting a fast on Monday, it would be great to share my experiences with someone.

Hi! I am starting Monday as well. It will be my first time. I have been intrigued ever since watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and I'm hoping to go for 7 days at least and maybe longer. My juicer will be here from Amazon tomorrow and Sunday I will go shopping and start prepping.

Thanks for writing back.

I am going to do a 5 day to start with as I want to make sure I get past the headaches phase to feel the benefits.

I would like to do 7 days but I have a 80km bike ride on day 7 which I think i should be properly fueld for

MissVR, include juice in your diet after the 5 days. Add meals and juice during day 6 and 7 so you'll have plenty of fuel for your bike ride.

Danielle, it will great to have you juicing with us on the 22nd. I'll be here if you have any questions.

Good Morning everyone!

My boyfriend and I were meant to do the 3 day cleanse last week, but didn't finish since we were going out for vacation during the weekend and figured we weren't going to take it easy with the solids once we could eat.

So here we go again, even more determined!
This is our day 1 of 3 .. we'll see if we keep going for the 5 days ..

Let's do this!!

V, it's okay to experiment and come up with your own recipes. I encourage that as it helps to make the juices more personalized. 16-20 ounces is about how much each juice should be so you're right on.

Miri, congrats on your fast, and I hope you had fun vacation! Keep us posted on your fast.

Fab, welcome to JOJ and congrats on starting your fast! You can do this and I'm always here if you have questions.

What about cucumber, its got a really nice fresh taste and you get quite a lot of juice out of each one

Day 2!

Other than the light headache I woke up with, i'm feeling fine

I replaced one handful of spinach for one cactus (nopal) in a couple of my juices and it tastes pretty good!
We use nopal a LOT in mexico and i've read in many places that it has many healthy properties so figured it wouldn't hurt 😉

Our mexican version of the green juice is actually celery, orange, pineapple, parsley, and cactus .. highly recommended!
