Juicing Forum

Hi all, I recently moved across the country, a few months ago. Left a job as a fitness coach and since my move I haven't been so motivated. Been eating terribly, drinking too often and hardly exercising at all anymore. I want to do the cleanse as a re-boot back on track to a positive healthy lifestyle. I am doing this on my own, so I would really love to have some online support if anyone out there wants to join me. Take care all!

Nic, welcome to JOJ and congrats on starting your juice fast! I also started another fast today so I'll be joining you! Keep us updated and let me know how things go today. I'm here if you have any questions.

I was the same way Nic, I couldn't believe how the juice will actually fill you up. It's incredible. The science behind it is that hunger is how your body tells you that it needs more nutrients. When you have a juice and follow it up with some water, you are giving your body loads of nutrients that get absorbed really quickly. This turns off the hunger as your body senses that it's getting the nutrition it asked for.

Nic, you have years of eating habits built up, it's going to take more than 2 days of juicing to help with that. You're most likely experiencing cravings instead of actual hunger when on the juice fast. Hunger is how your body tells you it needs nutrients and cravings are when your mind is telling you to eat out of habit, boredom, or for the enjoyment of it.

Food plays a big part in our lives and it's hard to overcome it. Right now you are going through the detox period and it can be hard. The detox will pass and you'll be glad you did the juice fast. Let me know if you have any questions.
