I am in!

You would need to count the calories that you are getting in your juice, and you would have to know how many calories you need per day to maintain. That would vary, depending on the kind of lifestyle you live, ie. active, sedentary, etc

I'm in!
I just had my first juice, i hadn't seen this post yet so i got all the ingredients to do Morning Glory, Mean Green, and Sunset Passion for my first day.
Do you think there's any problem with this?
Can i just do the new ones you posted for my second and third day?
Also, when you list "apples" in your recipes, what kind of apples are best to use?
So excited!

I was wondering if we can have coffee when doing a juice fast. That's always the difficult part of a fast for me, is giving up my morning coffee!

Irene, I usually don't get to sleep till about 2-3am my time so I'm usually heading to bed when you're just getting started. Always wanted to travel to Africa. I'm planning a few trips around the beginning of next year. I might have to add Africa to my list.

Joseph, how did the water and lemon work out for you?

Lebos, great idea! The snacks are only there incase you are absolutely starving. But the juice should fill you up anyway. Glad to see you setting some goals. It helps to keep you focused and accountable.

Taran, The caffeine withdrawl is tough, I remember how it was when I quit coffee. Feel free to have some tea, it helps with the caffeine but limit it to 1-2 cups a day. It gets easier!

Laurenitachicita, Welcome to JOJ and congrats on joining the Group Juice Fast! I'll be here if you have any questions.

Myrjuicer, Welcome! You can add in some protein. I suggest a pure unflavored protein isolate as it will help you retain muscle mass and keep full. Just make sure you aren't grabbing a cheap protein powder as most of them contain a lot of junk besides protein.

Miri, Welcome to JOJ and thanks for joining the group fast! There won't be any problem with the drinks you chose. They are all great! Susnset passion is a really good drink and I remember I couldn't wait till I got home after a long day to make one. You can do any recipes you like Miri, you don't have to stick to the ones I put up for this fast 100%. Also, feel free to experiment if you like. That's half the fun! Granny Smith apples are the best kind to use as they have the least amount of sugar out of all the apples.

Anyanat, Good Morning! The juices taste much better than you would first expect. You can hit 19 pounds in 2 weeks. I think that's a very good goal to shoot for. I'll be here if you have any questions.

Faithchick, No coffee. It's okay to have some tea but stay away from the coffee. You might get some caffeine headaches but it's okay to take tylenol or ibuprofen. Remember, your body can only heal and let go of toxins as long as there are no toxins coming in. You can do it Faithchick!

PattiRob, don't set a day goal, set a weight or a health goal. It's easier to shoot for those kind of goals instead of goals with a time frame. When you set goals on a time frame you think about the "time remaining" instead of your actual goal of losing weight.

Hello, all! I have all my produce prepped for the day. Morning Juice in my hand and going down smoothly. Yesterday I went for a test run, I had Morning, Mid, and The pink Lemonade juice. I was doing great till the wife came home, and fixed dinner for her and the kids. But that was Sunday, Today I will have to have a greater resistance to her temptations. Lets get this Juice ON! Will check in later on, throughout the day.

Thanks for the advice, about setting a weight or health goal. That juice fast is coming up in 2 weeks. My husband I will be fasting for an extended time. He's committed to losing 100 lbs. through juice fasting. I will be doing it with him until I get to my goal weight and health level. This week is kind of a practice run for me!

I have a question how many calories are there in each juice. Thx

Just got back from a 2 mile walk. Drinking my 2nd juice for the day! Didn't think I would like it to much, due to me not liking celery. But it actually fairly good. After this juice, once the wife and kids get in going to hit the pool for a hour or so. Doing good here so far!

Thank you!!

You're welcome Anyanat!

Sunshyne, it sounds like you got off to a great start! The recipes sound good also. A little weakness is expected since you're going through detox but it will pass after 3 days or so.

Day 1 wasn't so bad was tempted to nibble on some fruit but I didn't lol. Today inonly had two juices wasnt hungry for my dinner juice. Tomorrow I'm taking my son to the movies with some friends that will be the test I love theatre popcorn
