Juicing Forum

Hello everyone. I just started my fast today with fresh grapefruit juice for breakfast (11:00AM) and tea rather than coffee. My plan is to go grocery shopping with the 7-day shopping list in hand. I do have some veggies ripening in the garden that I will be able to add to some recipes. Thanks for letting me join your group.

Due to some pre-existing items on my calendar, today is my last fasting day. Thanks for all of the tips and support and GOOD LUCK!

Hey everyone,
Today is day 5 for me, it has been pretty smooth sailing! I have had great energy, no headaches or severe hunger pangs (usually only hungry when I wake up and around 12-1 pm), and my sugar cravings are non existent. The only things I really am "craving" are fruits to chew on, specifically watermelon and kiwi. I have been sleeping extremely well the past two nights, and waking up before my alarm clock which has been awesome.
This morning I used up the produce left in my fridge from over the weekend: beet, grapefruit, tomato, kiwi, apple, spinach, parsley, lemon. I had enough to store some in the fridge for later. I also have a leftover green giant from yesterday that I am planning to drink for lunch. The weight is still coming off pretty rapidly, but I am hoping in the next few days it will sort of level out, and once I start reintroducing solid foods I know I will probably gain some of it back, since I didn't really do this cleanse to specifically lose weight. My legs have never looked better, though!

Hope everyone else is doing great! Keep it up!

Well, Day 3 was success, except for the strawberry I ate last night...it was delicious! I will say yesterday afternoon I was thinking about all the delicious foods I couldn't eat, but I pushed through it. Today is day 4, 1 juice in and I'm feeling pretty good. I did feel stopped up however so I had a half a cup of Senna tea last night. I was able to go to the bathroom this morning which helped. That stuff makes me nervous, but I think it may have been what I needed. I've lost 5bs, but I suspect it is mostly water weight and it will return once I start eating real food again. Hope everyone has a good Wednesday.

Just read through this thread and wanted to add that the juicing I've done in the past couple of weeks has changed my cravings so much. I went to the Movie Theater with my husband the other day and tried to eat my usual small bag of popcorn. It tasted horrible...all I could taste were chemicals. I ate two pieces and then had to quit. I was shocked and really happy. Didn't have to use self-control. My cravings are changing all by themselves just from juicing!

Hi all, I'm new here. I tried a 3 day juice fast before and found it extremely difficult but I've decided to try the 7 day so will need a lot of will power!

After watching a documentary last night called Fat sick and nearly dead, the guy healed his body by juice fasting, it's given me some motivation. I have a chronic stomach condition which I really want to try and heal naturally as it's been hanging around for 2 years now. So day one will be this Sunday. 😕

Is it ok to add avocados and bananas to the juices, I just find them much more filling?

My wife and I decided to start our juice fast today. Since we're both scheduled for a medical procedure that requires us to fast and flush out our large intestine the day before, it seemed like a good idea to get a head start. She'll be fasting for a week and myself for two weeks.
I've gone from 280 lbs. to 260 lbs. over the past couple months by going to the gym and eating a low glycemic diet. Be interesting to see how much I lose from the fast.

Hi I'm on day 4, I'm only doing 5 this time. I woke up this morning feeling dreadful, very weak, no energy and breathless, any tips?
