Juicing Forum

Day 3, down another 3 lbs, pretty lethargic but not hungry. Easier to "drink" throughout the day, but remain achy, really achy. No headache, that's a relief. Sure am glad I stocked up toilet paper! Cuz now I'm using it big-time! Looking forward to breakfast juice (2 granny smith, 2 carrots, 20 grapes and a banana). So yummy! Usually drink 1/2 then add some spinach to the second half.

Not hungry, just blah. Only managed the 3 juices with 72 oz of water yesterday, the 4th one eludes me for some reason, although the 3 are typically 20-ish oz. Just feeling blah.

Still here, still juicing, just blah.

Thank you so much for your reply and showing great support :), I truly appreciate it. How about Tomatoes and Carrots? should I limit them to one as well? or you mean the 'regular' fruits like apple, berries, etc?

Thank you once again.

Day 4, 8.2 lbs totally gone, I do feel better this morning. Although all of my muscles feel like I did some horrific workout, and all I did was sleep, gotta be the residuals of the "achy" from yesterday. I read about folks working out and can't believe it-I get worn out from taking out the trash, and yesterday morning just standing and cleaning the juicer was hard.

Yesterday, a good friend was all "you should stop tomorrow, you did 3 days that's good" but I kept thinking, yeah, I did the 3 days, the 3 hardest days, why would I give up when it's easier from now on? Does that make sense?

Just hoping this foggy-brain thing goes away-I'm an analyst and need to be able to think.

Still here, and so very thankful for your input, other posters and this site. Thank You!

I am on my first day of my 30 day cleanse. I have never done a juice fast so you could say I am a bit scared but also full of excitement. Just wanted to say hello to everyone and congratulate them on their commitment to their body. I'll be here for support and log about my progress. Good luck everyone!

Thanks for your input JOJ !!
Well, tomorrow is July 1st and I am starting 30 days. I've got my vegetables and juicer ready. I am 208 lbs and I really want to be around 180 by August 1st. I will be here daily and post my progress for my own accountability sake!

ED & Slain1026 welcome to JOJ......

Ed, no need to add any broth to the juice. It's important to have only the juice you make while on a juice fast. Check your blood sugar throughout the day to ensure everything is fine. If something's not fine let me know and we will come up with something. Stray strong and keep going Ed!

Congrats on day 7 and 11 pounds Ada!!! Don't stop if you feel like going longer. There is no harm in it. Keep doing what you're doing!

Im on day 2 of 60 and other than me feeling a little weak i feel fine. No headaches or anything. Ive read this site two or three times and i love all the informative information. Only complaint is that i dnt have the wil to drink. Has anyone else experienced this? If so did it pass? If so how long did it take? My other question is do i have to use ginger in my juices? I cant stomach the taste at all.

Thanks Joj. I weighed myself this morning and im down 6lbs in 3 days. That in itself is motivation enough for me. Quick question.......while juicing can i chew sugar free gum? Or is that a definite no no? Was wondering because the taste in my mouth from detoxing and brushing my teeth 5xs a day os crazy. Lol

I'm on day one. I did a seven day fast awhile ago. I still have a bunch of weight to lose so I am back at it. I think I will have to do more than a 30 day fast to get to my goal weight but it will be worth it. I'm not a very active person but I am going to try and get some walking in each day. I hope this will help me lose the weight along with fasting.

Thank you JOJ I will wait then a few days to do the light exercise. I did get the gallon bags to organize my juices. My husband isn't juicing but he has been helping me a lot get organized. He shops for the fruits/veg then we wash all of it when he brings it home. We do a days worth in the gallon bags. Makes it easier and faster for me when I go to juice. I have also been freezing some so that I can use them and take the week end of from using the juicer. We also found some plastic storage bins that people use for shoes. We are using them to store some of the veggies so they are organized nicely in the refrigerator. I want to say thank you for this site. It is so inspirational to read about everyone's journey and progress in juicing. Thank you for all the hard work JOJ you put into this site.

Hello Everyone, Im planning on doing a juice fast for as long as possible. I have done this before, for 21 days, 4 days & 7 days. I'm planning to start this one on 8/7/2013 and I am feeling incredibly anxious. I guess it's because I know what to expect in the first week or so. I found it quite difficult in the first couple of weeks, however it certainly paid off in the end. For me personally it was around 10-15 days where I felt the benefit of fasting. Ideally I would like to go 30 days this time. I soooooo, want to do this!!
Shall keep ya all posted!!
