Juicing Forum

Yes- I realize its Memorial Day weekend so I am guessing there wont be many (or any) joiners but I have to start it tomorrow as its the only full 7 days I am not travelling in the next month. If anyone else wants to join, let me know

I will commit to start on Tuesday for 3 days. I sure hope I can be successful. I do get migraine headaches and hope this doing turn into such. But I will stay positive and keep juicing and carry on. Everyone have a nice Memorial Day weekend! Jules stay strong! You've got this!!!

Awesome everyone! I'm looking forward to following everyone on this juice fast. Good luck and here are a few tips:

Prep your produce the night before and put each meal in a gallon size ziploc. It makes it so much easier when you go to juice in the morning.

Drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Drink a juice when you feel hungry, the juice will fill you up and curb your hunger and most cravings.

Good luck and post often so we can follow your progress! I'll keep checking back.

Juicelab, If you enjoy the breakfast juice, drink it for lunch and dinner also. If there is an ingredient that you do not like, then don't use it and simply replace it with something else. Celery can be replaced with romaine lettuce and beets can be replaced with carrots.

I wouldn't suggest adding more fruit as that will have an impact on how much weight you lose. Less sugar is what we are going for here. Remember, these drinks are meant to be more green consisting of more veggies than fruits. You should keep the veggie to fruit ratio about 80/20.

Feel free to take tylenol or ibuprofen for headaches. It won't harm your fast.

The amount you get per juice will vary depending on your juicer. But 16-20 ounces is about right. Also, you should have between 4-6 juices per day as you get hungry.

Keep it up, you are doing great and giving some really good feedback!

Welcome everyone, I will be logging in here. Still on my fast have lost track of days or not counting correctly I now think I am on day 21 starting tomorrow-really haven't worried too much about it but feel so much better. The first 3 days are the hardest but once past that it gets easier, sure smells get at you sometime but as you start seeing results you ignore that. This forum has really helped me out and I am grateful I am here. For motivation watch Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, and Hungry for Change, they both are awesome. Check in everyday and just think of it as one juice at a time. You can do it. If I can you can...and I do not have migraines anymore, sleep well and have so much more energy and my clothes are getting looser, love that part, face clearer. Check out the different fast forums on this site for all kinds of helpful suggestions. " "You can if you think you can. As you think, so shall it be. Then think you can and you can indeed." Best to all of you. I will be here tomorrow. Got some work to do! Take care!

Corpusmae I just watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead yesterday and I have to say they made it look easy. But it did make much sense and gave me a boost of motivation. I'm one juice down on day one, we'll see how this goes. Happy Memorial Day all!

My husband and I started today Monday 27th. My husband is borderline diabetic any thoughts? I am a bit concerned about tomorrow at work seeing that I have not had a BM yet!

Ktrev, First of all, before your husband decides to do a juice fast he should consult with his doctor. It’s important to not only get advice but to also discuss how to adjust any medications while on the juice fast. If he does juice, he should aim for a maximum of 1 fruit per juice. He should also include more protein in his juices and drink at least 64 ounces of water each day. Also, don't be too concerned about BMs. It will happen. Also, remember that since you are not taking in any solids or insoluble fiber, you aren't consuming anything to warrant a BM. Make sure to include lemon and ginger in your routine and you'll have one soon enough.

Krissy, Congrats on starting your fast! It will be really beneficial for you if you stick it out, set your goals, and juice until you reach them! We will all be here for support and I suggest you post updates as often as you can. I'll be here if you have any questions.

Hi duranie10, I'm on day 2 today. Yesterday wasn't too bad although I was craving a cheeseburger someone ate right next to me. Other than that, I'm happy to have stepped on the scale this morning and I feel refreshed. I do have to agree that Morning Glory was tasty but the Jolt Juice is too! Have a great day everyone, happy juicing.

Duranie, It seems like you are experiencing some of the detox symtoms. Not sure about the mucus though. Try drinking some warm/hot water with lemon and see if that helps any. Keep us posted.

HealthyBMIWoman, Try the Good Morning Green Juice, it's really good!

Awesome, another tip to ensure freshness is to make sure they are sealed in an airtight container, and the container is filled to the top. Don't be afraid to top it off with a little bit of water to make sure it's 100% full before you seal it up. And of course, make sure it's refrigerated till you drink it. Try that out and let me know if it makes a difference!
