Valerie, well done on your Day 1 of Juice fast..keep going and u'll be amazed by the results........

It's Day 3 guys!!! Congrats to those who have stuck with us and keep on juicing strong to those that are continuing on.

At the end of the day I'd love to hear some feedback from everyone.

What was the hardest part of the juice fast?
I had family over this weekend and watching them eat while I juiced was hard but it was also motivational.

How much did you lose over three days?
5 Pounds so far, but it's only the beginning of day 3.

What did you learn that will stick with you?
Self control!

Welcome Jean! It's easier when you juice with others. As long as your honest with yourself and your fast, the willpower will build up. Once you get past the first few days it's much easier. We will all be here to support you and guide you along the way.

Happy 4th Kneelie! Congrats on losing 4 pounds. Snacking was a hard part for me also. I would usually grab a snack while watching TV. Eventually I just lost interest in snacking at night. We all have more will power than we give ourselves credit for. Just keep juicing and be determined to hit your goal.

Congrats on day 3 Valerie! Pineapple is really good to juice. A little bit will go a long way in your juices. As far as a juice that tastes like a full meal try making a soup out of your juice.

4-6 Tomatoes
1/4 Onion
Handful of Cilantro
4 Stalks Celery
Handful of Spinach
1 Cucumber
1/2 Garlic clove (optional)

Heat that up and add some pepper, thyme, and then mix in a little bit of your favorite hot sauce. Drink it with a spoon and it's like a soup. Feel free to adjust the recipe to your liking. But it's a good juice to make for dinner with the family as you can enjoy it heated up.

Anytime Valerie!

Kellyel, thanks for your post and welcome to JOJ! I suggest you read this article first

Nutri bullets are great for so many things and they have so many uses, but I'm afraid you'll need to get a juicer to have an optimal juice fast and ensure you're getting the right amount of nutrients, including protein. As far as being active that's okay too. It's best to keep your activities to a minimum during the first few days so your body has a chance to regroup. After you've gone through detox it's good to be active and physical.

If you have any questions Kellyel, just let me know.
