juice fast

[OklaHemi]

have any of you guys heard of this? after watching fat sick and nearly dead last night on netflix, chrissy got the great idea to go on a juice fast and drug me into it as well. we already own a vtamix so having a smoothie for breakfast or lunch is an almost everyday occurrence, this is only stepping it up a little. i agreed to go 10 days with her, then immediately tried to back out because i remember the holiday coming up. neither of us are severely overweight we are doing this more to cleanse and are planning a major eating habit change after. anyway we took pics and are documenting daily so if anyone cares ill post up a before and after too see if there is any truth to this. the guys on the show were losing 60lbs in so many days but the were also "obese". we are in good medical health so we are pretty confident about giving it a try although a loaded fajita burrito and 16oz steak sound so good to me and its only the first day.

i will also be adding in moderate exercise as well (what my back and ankle will allow).

alright so day 2 has started and honsetly this is tough. Chrissy and i broke down last night and each ate 1 home made lettuce wrap with beef, cheese, avocado, and cilantro. i really dont think this fast is intended for people with kids. we were so hungry and tired we were both snapping at the kids and thats not fair to them. none the less we are pushing forward. i lost 2 lbs since my weigh in yesterday morning and im not as hungry so far today. i have read that you are never supposed to go full bore into a fast and that after the third day you stop being hungry. we will see about that. so minus the setback its going ok. veggie juice is really potent stuff, throwing in some fruit helps take the edge off but i have learned that saying "its not that bad" is code for your taste buds screaming "what the fuck are you doing to me?". i have been chugging the juice down as fast as possible to get it over with hopefully this will change.

Ohhhh that sounds tough. You might have to try this just a little at a time so you kinda get used to it.

If you want to cleans yourselves just try adding a high fiber diet cut down on the beer and sodas. try drinking more juice and water.

I bet you'll get used to it

I can't drink beer I have never acquired the taste. The only time we have soda is if we eat out, that has stopped. Kickin red bull was the biggest for me I was putting down 16-32oz a day. I'm making some adjustments as far as what goes into the juice so hopefully that will help the taste

Do you mean you were putting down between 16 and 32 ounces per day or you were putting down 16 - 32oz cans a day??

[OklaHemi]

im mean either one or two 16 oz cans a day

i do believe the hardest part of this is having the kids. i am perfectly content until its time to feed them. mac and cheese never looked soooo good lol. i have lost another 2 lbs putting me at 190.3 i will not go lower than 180 if the weight continues to come off at this rate or increases im done. i dont really feel tired or hungry for the most part and the headaches have subsided. it has been found people can have up to 6-8 lbs of "toxins", heavy metals, etc. this is supposed to clean all that out while giving your digestive system a break.

edit: on a side note it has been really nice not having to clean out my braces after every meal

When we come to your house tomorrow, I'm gonna have to try this juice

[OklaHemi]

despite having a couple of setbacks(cheeseburgers and pasta over the holiday) i have still lost a total of seven pounds and am feeling better all around. i have noticed that i wake up a lot easier and i feel like i have more energy throughout the day. my diet before this would fluctuate from eating sensible at home to going on eating out binges because we would get too busy. i have been craving dairy and peanuts for a few days. still a few more days to go till the end.

i wouldn't recommend going into a full out fast it is hard lol. maybe do the juice once or twice a day with a low carb dinner. chrissy and i have decided to continue to "juice" at least one meal a day after we are done with this crazy thing.
