So, it is going well! We are in the morning of day four. After 3 full days of juicing Jhon is down 14 pounds and I am down 8. Weight loss is not our main reason for doing this, but it is nice! And all the naysayers who say as soon as we go back to our regular diet we will gain it all back can shove it, because clearly we are not going back to our regular diet. We are excited about our plant based diet and cutting our processed food and junk. Coming off a juice fast we will be excited to eat the fruits, veggies, grains, and nuts! I think I want a Cafe Rio salad when I break my fast. My friend brought me one, it is just their salad, on the tortilla, rice and beans with a cilantro lime dressing. Yum! I haven't decided how many days I am going to juice fast yet though.
We feel good! I have more energy. We have done some cardio twice in the last 4 days. Jhon has had a little bit of a head ache, but not as bad as usual and they have gone away. We never got sick, or had any uncomfortable symptoms. So far, so good!
I have actually been thinking of doing this!!! Can you private message me your plan? Good luck to you guys!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to try this lifestyle and appreciate you blogging about it so I can learn more. What recipes are you using for juicing? How do we know if we are getting ALL of the nutrients we need and from what source. I know that I'm iron deficient. Any suggestions would be helpful and I would love if you could also private message me your plan. The email I prefer to use is denna@cox.net. Thanks for blogging and please keep it up so I can learn this too.
