Juicing Forum

I started today - so far so good - how's it going for you?

Chris -
Good luck to you too!

I managed 5 juices yesterday and a fair amount of water. I too tried the lemon water this morning instead of coffee - this is hard for me but I am trying not to cave on that one - I really love my morning coffee. I'm doing Joe Cross' 3 day cleanse so I was able to have edamame for dinner - I wasn't hungry all day, I had a mild headache but that may have been from allergies but otherwise felt pretty good.

I weighed this morning- am down a pound which is about 1.1 kilos.

I have about 40-50 pounds to lose to be where I feel fit and healthy. I also have to get back to exercising as this always helps me both physically and mentally. I am in a bit of a transition right now - I lost both my parent within 2 months about 2 months ago so my life has basically been turned upside down. I am trying to make positive changes and really work on myself for now and juicing is part of that plan. So being more healthy mentally and physically are my goals.

For me the key is always cutting out the junk and really taking the time to plan healthy meals - once you get in the swing of it it becomes more of a habit and then it is easier. I actually don't miss the junk - I am so tired of eating bad things and just feeling badly. So that's a little about me - tell me more about you!

hey chris-

day 2 sucked for me - had headaches and was starving by the evening - fell off the wagon a little but still lost weight. Down another 0.4 pounds so doubt I did too much damage. I'm back on the train again and am currently having lemon water and then will take my juice when I go to my son's soccer game. I took a long walk yesterday with my dogs which was the first exercise I have done in awhile - I used to be completely shredded at 17% body fat and very fit but that all fell apart. Since my parents have died I have been having some problems with motivation (which is to be expected) so I am trying to be patient with myself and take things step by step.

Great job on the weight loss - keep it up! Very proud of you!

Today should be active so I will have less time to worry about not eating - don't really miss the junk - my body really wants better things - the issue is between the mind and the body! I also have to fight the urge to fill the hole of my loss with food which will not work because that is a hole that cannot be filled by anything.

I'm off to get ready for soccer - check in with you later! H

3rd day was hard - had a headache too. I think I have learned some things - I am not a "fast" person - I can incorporate juicing into my life to replace some meals and to add additional nutrients to my diet but my plan from here forward is to work on moderation in my diet and balance that with exercise. It was good to experience this but I don't think it works for me. I will stay here to support you and see how it is going but for now my "fast" comes to an end. H

5 day review

5 day was very very good,i didnt had any pain or headache,only a few food cravings and mabe i felt a little discomfort for a lil while

i think the hard part of the juice fast is now over,i wait the energy burst that other describe,but i think it will come after the first week.

weigh in

from 83.9 i am now at 83.6 kilos
from 25.8% i am now at 25.6% fat

total loss 2.1 kilos in 5 days
total fat loss 1.4%

hi breezed and good luck with your juice fast

happy to know that someone read and understand my english lol

at the moment i measure my fat loss with an electronic scale which is horribly inaccurate as one site decribe lol so few days ago i ordered something called accu-measure fitness 3000,and it supposed to be super precise and cheap too but i will have it next week.i payed a year long membership last week to the gym so i will need it anyway after my fast is over

i enjoy and get motivated by reading other people stories too,i have already read almost everything at justonjuice and now i start to listen stories at youtube as well.
i type juice fast day (7..) and i listen to ppl that they are in the same day i am,mabe that will help u too.i am in day 7 and this is what i will do later today.

i have a friend that started the fast 1 day after me,she didnt had any headache or pain and she is in day 6,weird i know but proves that nobody have the same symptoms with the others.i hope your bad ones pass as fast as possible.after day 5 you will be so much better.believe dat.

one of the things that motivate me to continue when i had thoughts of stoping was the goal i had set before i start the juice fast to do at least 14 days,which then became at least 7 lol but anyway all that helped me to overcome thoughts of stoping earlier.

one advice that help a lot whatever you try to do in life is listen motivational video at youtube.pain is temporary,glory is foverer type things u know lol i dont know why but they help me a lot mentally and emotionaly when i am scared and i think i will not make it etc
i listen to that one this days https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgmVOuLgFB0

hope that helps and good luck again!

hi breezed

we smoked almost the same lol,i smoked 40 cigs per day for 17 years and i quit 1.5 year ago.quit smoking rules!!

i prepare everything the time i want to drink it so i have no idea if it loses nutrients when stored sorry.

hi,i have to write at least one more post because an amazing thing happent this days after the fast.the truth is that i was a little concern about gain weight after the fast,many ppl seems to believe that(especially dieticians) so i was thinking about it.in the 3 days i have quit my juice fast i have lost a total of 1.3 kilos/2.8 pounds and 0.7% fat

my weight from the day i stoped fasting and the weight i have now is
from 82.7 kilos i am now at 81.4 kilos
and from 25.2% fat i am now at 24.5%

i will write now what i have been eating this 3 days.my meals is almost every 3 hours.i know they look like kids food but after 7 days fasting my stomach closed and i feel full much faster now.

day 1

note that by eating this my stomach never complained.it is importand to end the juice fast properly.

i will write again in few days to see how my weight change with my full diet.

hi breezed

how many days will you juice fast?

yea i have all the top rated recipes from joe cross website,i almost do the 15 day guided reboot,but since a friend of mine came and we did the fast together i didnt.

she quit her fast too,she did 10 days and she lost 7.7 kilos/17 pounds.

juice fast is amazing at loosing weight thats my conclusion + you detox which we all need it with all the crap they feed us!

i did stop when my body told me to stop,i think if someone listen to his body he will have no problem do this fast for few days.

chrisgr, I am now on Day 5 and doing great. I haven't set a number of days. I'm going day by day.

Coco - good luck. I hope you succeed.
