I am starting today as well. I did a more Juice jolt this morning, because I tried the Meangreen last week before I started; to see how it was. It felt quite heavy on my stomach and seemed like i was trying to fight back the last half of the glass. (which is probably never a good idea)

Juice Jolt wasn't too bad on the stomach. I'll keep coming back in here for some tips and good recipe ideas.

I was 212 lbs before I started juicing, today I am 185 lbs and feel better than I did 10 years ago!

I am in! I started this morning. This is my second 3 day juice fast. I had actually planned to do a longer fast, but I was invited to a breakfast and lunch on the 4th of July. I am planning it so that I can eat fruit for breakfast and salad for lunch - I know I won't be very hungry by then! But I wanted to be realistic that I'll likely want to eat something on Thursday. Then I plan to start again on Friday, with the next group fast!

I hope you all are having a good day! So far I've had 2 juices and they have been great. I was running a little late this morning so I stopped by Robeks and had them make me a fresh juice. It's nice to have places that you know you can grab a fresh juice when in a pinch. They will juice what you tell them to put in it so I had them whip me up a good one in their juicer. Tasted just like the ones I make at home. So if you are out in a pinch, some of the smoothie places do make juice.

Mcdouble, welcome to JOJ and our group juice fast. Congrats on making a change!

Jjt, welcome to JOJ! It's always great to have someone who has juiced in the past join us. Feel free to share your experiences with us!

I stated juicing on Saturday and planning to continue through this group fast as its my first juice fast and loving it so far. I'm losing weight which is great but my worry is losing muscle mass. I'm at a pretty good weight but too high in body fat and hoping a fast will help with that. Will I build muscle while losing weight on a juice fast? Appreciate your thoughts!

Welcome Cathyburns! Congrats on starting your juice fast! Cathy, while you will lose mostly fat, you will probably lose some muscle mass. A good way to ensure that you keep muscle mass is to maintain a healthy workout and a healthy amount of proteins. You can add a pure unflavored protein isolate to your juices before and after workouts to ensure you're getting enough protein to maintain and build muscle. I'll be here if you have questions.

Day 1 is at an end! I hope you all made it through the day without any issues. I'd like to hear what some of you have came to learn during your first day of juice fasting. If you could share that with us it would be great!

Kneelie, that looks like a juice I tried a while back minus the basil. How did it turn out?

The first day was easy but today It's only 1 pm and I had already 3 cups of juice. Is it ok if I have
5-6 cups of juice a day? Also, I juice a lot more vegetables than fruits. I only add 1 apple to my juice but add lots of spinach. I also add flax seed. Is that ok? I feel like I am doing something wrong.

Also, I have a friend who juiced for breakfast and lunch but ate solid food for dinner for one week. What is the difference between juice fasting and juicing for only breakfast and lunch?

Thank you

Ry, you can have between 4-6 juices. Make sure they are between 16-20 ounces and you'll be good to go. It's good to limit the amount of fruits you put into your juices. I like to stick with about 20% fruit and 80% veggie. It sounds like you are doing that. I wouldn't add the flax seed.

When you go on a juice fast, the point is to cleanse your digestive system and create low toxicity in your system. When this happens you are allowing your body to release toxins and weight at a faster rate. Since the juices are absorbed and not digested you are allowing your body to give you back the energy that is usually used in the digestive process.

When you add solids back into the mix you are making your digestive system work again. This takes you out of the fast and slows down your progress. Same with adding flax seed as it's a solid. It's best to just stay on the juice, let it do it's work, and then start adding solids back into the mix when you feel you have reached your goals.

It's important to do just the juice if you want to cleanse. When you do go back to eating solids, keep it strictly fruits and veggies for a week and then you can start incorporating other items into your diet.

OMG! I just cheated my juicing fast with caffeine! It's better than cheating with food, right? DAY 2 and I am on it!

Seems I like experimenting with flavors. This is what I made for dinner
1 beet
1/4 bunch of asparagus
1 c watermelon cubed
1/2 butternut squash
1 cucumber
handful spinach
not my favorite, but it's palatable.

Kneelie, I'll have to give the strawberries and basil a try. It sounds like a great combo! I enjoy beets and your beet recipe sounds great. I'll make a few tweaks to it.

Ry, at least you didn't grab a bag of chips or something. A little caffeine wont hurt but it's best to avoid it. Just glad you're back on track!

Day 2 is at an end and I hope everyone made it! Please let us know how your day was!

Get ready for day 3, it's the last day of our fast and you should all be very proud of yourselves! Remember to keep drinking plenty of water throughout the day and stay focused on your fast. Just one more day left! I look forward to hearing your stories tomorrow.

I am very motivated! Thanks to all! I can even go for another 3 days but I don't think it's a good idea fasting on July 4th:))

Hi, everyone! I'm at the end of my first day and ready for the next 2! I don't notice any differences or 'side effects' yet except I just feel.... strange. I'm guessing tomorrow will be interesting. :)
Oh and I had the breakfast, lunch, and dinner recipes and then one of the 7 day recipes. So 4 juices, and I'm full. Is it okay to have spirulina? I usually take some every day.
