Juicing Forum

Sorry I forgot I also add 1/4 lime to the juice

Joseph, if it's just the foam that's okay. I used to scoop the foam out. I use an anti foam container now so I just pour the juice into a glass and all the foam stays behind. Let me know how your juice tastes with fermented juice mixed in. Curious to see how that turns out.

Jarriod, that's true, every juicer will vary to some degree. The best think to do is to try varying amounts until it tastes right to you.

Hi add me in I'm looking forward to my first juice cleanse have been dieting for 3weeks and have cut carbs out and have lost 8 pounds so hope to get the first three days of the juice cleanse over me and then see if I can continue it for a couple of weeks.

Good Morning JOJ Juicers! It's Sunday, the day before our big group juice fast! I hope you are as excited as I am! I've got my produce all ready and my juicer cleaned and prepped.

Make sure you get your produce, and anything else you may need. I'm going to make a quick list:

If you are juicing and taking juice to work with you, make sure you have a few good containers to store your juices in. Bring 2 or 3 juices to work with you and put them in the fridge.

Start your day off with 1/2 lemon and some warm water. It really does make a difference. Warm water is easier for your system to absorb and it will get you up and moving.

Get gallon size freezer bags so you can prep your fruits and veggies the night before. Just put each juice in its own bag and put it in the fridge so you'll be ready to juice it in the morning.

Save your plastic grocery bags, they work out perfect if you put them in the pulp catcher. Saves a lot of clean up time.

Do NOT eat any solids while on your fast! NO SOLIDS if you want this work.

It's okay to drink tea while on your fast. Avoid black teas and go for decaf if you can.

If you get headaches it's okay to take tylenol or ibuprofen.

Remember to clean all of your produce before you use it. Even if it says its been per-cleaned, please make sure you clean it anyway.

Post updates as often as possible! Even if it's just to say "Hi everyone, I just had a juice and it was great!" It will help you to stay focused and keep you accountable for the day.

I always love to see pictures. So post as many pictures as you can of your juice fast throughout the day!

I'll be on and off today, but I'll keep checking to see if anyone has questions.

Good Morning all. I just prepped my 1st juice. I'm using a Cuisinart CJE 1000. My machine netted 16 Oz of juice from the morning juice. I would like to see other peoples machine models and compare the outputs. A little information on my self. I'm a 38 yr old Male, I live in WA state in the USA. I'm shooting for doing more than just the three days but we will see how it goes. I have to do this for my family, I'm fat getting sick and trying to avoid death. I work 3rd shift, so I will be juicing different times than most of our group. A few stats on myself. I weighed this am and weighed in at 272.3, my gut is 54 inches. I recently found out my sugar is extremely high. (300+) This am it was 384 prior to my med's after a 2 glasses of H20 and some watermelon, I retested and it was down to 297. My sugar was probably elevated due to a few drinks last night and some late night pizza. We had a little celebration, and I took advantage, since I'm shooting for a 30+ day juice. I look forward to reading everyone's discussions and extremely excited for us to be successful. Juice on, time for my morning breakfast drink.

I'm kind of in a similar situation. I have to admit I started my juice feast Monday so today is day 7 for me.im 54 and Monday I weighed 249.6 and I have been feeling I need to do something to improve. My health and longevity. So far I'm mostly healthy but I'm not going to wait till I get bad news. This morning I weighed 236.6 so I'm on my way. I would like to do 30- 60 days but 1 week in I'm not sure I can make it 2 weeks. I'm going to commit to the the next 3 days atnd go from there Get ready everyone. Here we go!!!

I would love to get back to 199. I'm a chef so it's very difficult Restraining myself. I'm surrounded by food. I have been on vacation this week so it wasnt so bad but I'm back to work tomorrow. I have a juicer at work so I'm good,to go. Just hope the good smels don't get me.

Joseph, it will be hard to be around the food especially when you have to cook it. It's great that you'll have your juicer at work with you. Stay strong and remember why you are juicing Joseph. I want you to succeed!

@Jarriod, I work 3rd shift as well! We can do this I am ready for a change.

Today marks the start of our group juice fast! The day is finally here. I hope you are all ready to juice!

Irene, it sounds like you're off to a fantastic start! Way to go!

Mustdo, welcome to JOJ and our group juice fast!

I do hope you all post frequently, it's very encouraging to everyone and it helps to keep you accountable for your day. I'm really looking forward to hearing from everyone today!

I'm starting my day off with a ginger shot! I got this idea from Jason Vale and it's such an awesome way to start your day!

1 Apple (red or golden delicious) Haven't tried it with a Granny Smith yet.
1 inch of ginger

You can do this in place of the warm water and lemon in the morning before your first juice if you want to. It's super tasty and one heck of a way to jump start your day.

Forum I am having a great day.....Hows everyone doing????

JOJ, I am in Africa it looks like i see my Day before you all......wink its now 2:48pm in my country.....
