Juicing Forum

(Or during the fast if you are continuing on for 7 days or longer)

First, it is okay to feel hunger. Just because I feel hunger does not mean I need to satisfy it right away.

I don't need to eat out of habit or boredom.

I have proven to myself that I di have the willlpower to say no to inappropriate food craving or urges.

Juicing was very difficult for me and lasted about two weeks. I thought I would get more moral support from my family and friends but they try to push their process foods my way.

I was happy, moody, upset, angry. My feelings were all over the place. I wished I still had my punching bag it would have come handy at those moments. Juicing works well if you have a nice support system. I did managed to stay focused despite that I was a mess.

Donnie, I don't plan doing meats anytime soon. I gradually went back to solid foods and I've noticed a huge difference - I feel bloated, heavy and my energy went back down. Looks like my body responded well to juicing so I'm going head first back to juicing on Monday 5 -12- 13. I didn't do anything that's fried just baked but again it slowed down my whole body and to be honest, I don't like that feeling at all.

My plan is to drop to 170. I'm currently 180 from 192 before juicing. With the wonderful protein recommendations from you guys, I plan to mostly juice and get a higher amount of protein to get my muscle mass back while keeping myself at 170 so I really have to watch what I eat - I will also have to reduce my cardio to bare zero while doing this. This should jolt my body again to were I was.

Juicing was horrible at first so I'm going to lie about that especially if you were a meat potatoes like I was but this is what I was taught to do to gain weight and muscles - I was careless in what I was putting into my body. That has all changed. I'm a new person and excited about the "Juicing World" This place has become my favorite spot to learn and share with others the benefits of healthy eating and juicing. I have a new vision in life Donnie and that's to share what really works for human!

I plan to start a juice fast next week since I will be vacationing beginning Thursday and don't want to spend it in the restroom going back on total solid food while away from home. Can you share your experiences about what a person can expect during the cleanse? I would like to know about the highs and lows. And since we are cleaning, does your face break out due to the impurities? Just would like to know what I will experience in 3 days. Thanks in advance!

I am IN!!!i have had a juicer in the cabinet and never used it. I'm going to the store as soon as I finish typing. I am 5'2 and 200lbs. I am in a wedding in June and am supposed to have been losing weight...ummm ya tht didn't happen . Can you eat anything while juicing? I have excema will juicing help? Ok I'm off to the store this forum has motivated me YAY super excited...

My birthday is Saturday and am having a big party where we will have a lot of food and alcohol, is it bad to juice til Saturday stop for the day and go back to juicing Sunday?

I started juice only May 5th so I am on day 11. I have been pretty amazed the difference juicing can make. I don't know how long I will do this but I do know that I will need to be in a support setting to discuss things that come up during the fast. Is that the general purpose of this group?

This has been my very first time juicing. Although, I have tried such other detox methods such as the Master cleanse and various others, I found myself not thrilled with the way I would always feel after I completed them. Therefore, I have given it a lot of thought after watching on Netflix the documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. I had already made the decision before ever watching that movie to give up on meats and slowly wean off of most dairy products such as milk and ice cream and dedicate my time to continue being a vegetarian/vegan. One of the things that most shocks me about this journey is how much willpower and determination one person can have, when he or she actually wants to succeed. I mean right now I'm in day four of this juice detox and I am already feeling the type of things that people in this forum have discussed such as anger, frustration, fatigued, and serious hunger. Sometimes I'm very happy and then at other times, I just feel all at once upset about something right out of the blue like it just came out of nowhere. For no reason and I will cry, just because I become overly tired and hungry and then I immediately go grab a juice I juiced the night before and drink it to replenish my urge of wanting to eat. In addition, I cannot pretend like this feeling of wanting to eat on this detox has gone away it's still there, like, if it were a ghost haunting me and it is very frustrating to always see others around me, who were supposed to be doing this with me and they are eating any and everything they want. Yeah, I become upset, but not any less motivated. I mean, I figured, I started this and I want to finish it. I had to think about whether not I wanted to go to seven days or 60 days that I seen in the movie, but, I don't know, if I can continue on being that strong, however, just as I did my research before starting this juicing detox, I did my research about motivational forums, then I have found you guys and girls and thought I'd give this a shot before I decided to chew on ice chips. I have gone from 239 pounds to being 227 and I feel, as if, I don't know if I can continue on past the four days that I've currently been on the juice detox because I am just so dang on hungry. I keep thinking about food. I keep on dreaming about food. I keep on thinking of different ways that I can try chop up ice and water in a blender and use that as a reliever. However, I know I cannot eat anything and I'm dedicated to this. I just was wondering, if anyone else has felt the same way that I have felt? I mean, I sometimes feel, as if I was on a boat with five different people. then two people jumped off the boat right when they saw it was sinking. The other two just said, "Oh, we can do this!" Then, we all started out just fine. Then one-by-one, when they felt tired of trying to keep the sinking boat from sinking, long enough for someone to spot us, they too jumped off of the boat. Leaving only one person left keeping that boat afloat. The person is now starting to feel the same way the others felt moments before they jumped over into the water. Now, this person is wondering, if they alone are strong enough to keep the boat from sinking, to provide enough tine for someone to spot them in the sinking boat. Yeah, this is exactly how I feel sometimes. I don't want to throw in the towel. I was wondering if here is anything else I can do to keep my mind off of food? I do exercise each day o Hip Hop Abs, read, walk, and etc., but still I feel hungry. Right now as I write this I feel frustrated and hungry and I already drank loads of water and juice. If there is any advice you can give me tips I can use that will be helpful, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, and best of luck to everyone else who is juicing.

Hello, JustOnJuice, and everyone,

Today has gone much smoother. I woke up very late that's because my craving kept me up half of the night into the early morning, When I finally did wake up, it was time for a new start. I grabbed me some lemons and began to drink a cold up of water and a couple slices of lemon thrown in it. I am amazed now of how just writing that's set and reading your reply has helped me stay focused. You are right I like my boat and I am totally am going to stay on it. I drink 66 oz. of juice per day more if I feel hungry, I know last nit was just craving because I felt myself dreaming awake of many different foods I could eat. I watched this video before and I watched this video again and I still stand inspired of what one is able to achieve if they just stick to it. I can do this. Thanks so much, it's time to take back my health one juice at a time. Thanks again and I will keep everyone posted.

As long as you have clear goals of what you want to accomplish and a clear path with plenty of motivation and determination, anything is possible!

My husband and I are on Day 17. He has lost 24lbs and 11lbs for me this far. My big thing or problem is the cleaning of the juicer every meal, and now we are having thoughts of stopping from a big feeling of boredom from doing the same thing again and again. We have tried different juices but the taste buds feel dead. We both came from eating a diet of butters and wine, and gourmet meals. Any suggestions? I feel great that we have come this far but looking ahead at finishing a 30 day;the tunnel is closing.

Hi all, This is my first day of my juice fast. I am finding it very difficult. My brain keeps thinking "what should we prepare to eat" and I reply "duh stupid brain I told you we are juicing"

Has anyone else been nauseous while juicing? Is this normal? Any tips for me?

Thanks,
kate

Hello everyone,

My name is Jay and I have recently introduced juicing into my life from some convincing from my gf. I was very skeptical at first, but now I am hooked. It really is a life changing experience. Here are some posts from my facebook during and after my fast. -Cheers!

3 days so far without eating anything. 2 more to go! Dropped 7lbs in just over 48 hours. Today's Lunch: Kale, spinach, mint, apples, cucumbers, and a hint of cinnamon. Tastes just like carne asada fries I swear! ha
If anyone else is trying to make positive changes in their life, you WILL hit a wall. It is inevitable. The question is do you go through it, around it, or over it. Regardless, you will be faced with a decision to take action or not. So don't give up on your goal. Remember true strength is not giving up when everyone else would understand if you did. Happy hump day everyone!

Final day of this week long challenge. Last night I almost caved and went and bought some food. Don't ever underestimate the power of a strong willed woman in your life Thanks for the save love! This morning was a suspenseful one. Trying on one of my only fitted shirts. It actually fits! The buttons aren't gripping on for dear life to keep my stomach covered with stripes and polka dots. Goodbye 11lbs you will not be missed! — feeling accomplished.
