Juicing Forum

Our next group juice fast is going to be on Monday July 1st! It will be a 3 day fast so it won't interfere with any 4th of July plans hopefully. I hope everyone can join. This will be more focused than our previous fasts. So, who's with me this fast?

I'm up for it! Never done a group juice fast. Do we fast on our own recipies or will you provide them?

Charlochata, welcome to JOJ and thanks for joining our fast! It will be good to have some experienced juicers on board. I'm looking forward to hearing your ideas and recipes.

Believer, Thanks for joining our fast! It's going to be a blast! I'll provide recipes but feel free to use your own also. It would also be helpful to post a few recipes that you use, I'm always up to try other peoples juice recipes.

Christine, Yes, there are benefits to intermittent fasting but it really depends on how much initial weight you plan on losing. If you have a weight goal it's best to just stick to your fast until you hit your weight goal, and then go on to intermittent fasting. But you could also set up goals such as lose 10 pounds, take a day off, lose another 10 pounds, take a day off, etc. Both are good ways to do it but personally after my first 10 pounds you couldn't pay me to go back to eating solid foods. Once you see that weight dropping off it's very motivational and hard to stop.

I am in for the group fast.....

JOJ, this is sooo true "Once you see that weight dropping off it's very motivational and hard to stop" coz i started with a plan on 7 days Juice fast but once i noticed i am shading pounds away i just couldn't stop Juicing....i'll keep on juicing until my body says no...now aiming @ 30days as i'm on day 13 almost half way.

Miamimillie welcome to JOJ and thanks for joining us on this juice fast! It will be a blast!

Irene, it's true, once you see the weight start dropping and you start feeling really good it's almost impossible to stop.

Christine, congrats on day 5! Try replacing your coffee with a green tea. You can drink the tea a few times per day but it will be much better for you than coffee and the energy boost will be worth it. The first few days you will clean out what remains in your system. You'll get to a point where there is nothing else in there to clean out due to the fact you aren't eating solids or digesting anything. Remember, the juice is absorbed into your system and not digested. So it's perfectly normal to experience what you're experiencing.

I usually don't weigh myself except at the beginning and end of a fast. But if you want to weigh yourself daily ( which I don't recommend ) do so first thing in the morning after you've used the restroom and before you drink any water/juice. Make sure you are drinking a lot of water. I go through at least 64-120 ounces per day when I'm fasting depending on what my activity level is throughout the day. Also, don't trust the scale, trust how your clothes fit and how you feel. Your weight will fluctuate throughout the day and it's very demotivating when you hop on the scale and don't get the change you wanted. If you check every three days you'll notice a good size change and it will still keep you very motivated.

I'm in and would like to join the 3 day fast starting July 1st.

Does anyone tried juice fast while nursing?
I would love to do the group fast, but looks like I will have to wait till I stop nursing my baby

Arevik, that's a good idea. The reason you don't really want to juice while you're nursing is due to the detox. When you detox you release the toxins in your body that are stored in your fat cells. These toxins get pushed into your bloodstream and eventually out in your urine but will affect your milk. We will do another fast, just let me know when you are ready!

Thank you! 😉 I will :))

Schedule is clear, I'm in for July 1st. 😮 When do we get our shopping list?

I am soo excited I found this site. I wanted to do the juice fast but didn't have anyone to do it with. So I am trying the 3 day fast with you guys! 😀

I'm new to this site as well, and would love to join the juice fast. Haven't done a specific juice fast in a while, but I do full fasts(just water)several times a year as well as the Daniel fast. This will be a welcome change doing something with others instead of always doing it alone. I actually started the juice fast today before seeing this,so I'm extremely excited to know others are out there to share in the journey. Good luck to everyone, and thanks for allowing me to be a part of this..:)
