That looks really interesting. a bit like a VLCD except short term. Do let us know how you get on.

The first day went well. I went for an hours cycle ride witht he kdis and did sit ups. I did feel hungry and needed my next juice. But I slept really well after a soak in a bath and feel ready to keep going today.

do youi think eating only fruit/veg/salad would have similar effect, Beetroot?

SGJ, Carmenere and sorry. x

tortoise · 04/03/2007 12:17

I tried to do the turbo charge 14 day one. I did feel better but all the fruit and veg got to expensive to keep buying.
Well done for sticking to just juice for a week.

His book are really good.

pinkchampagne · 04/03/2007 12:18

Wow, you have some willpower, beety! I wouldn't have lasted half a day on that diet!!
Well done!

Beetrootccio · 04/03/2007 13:10

i am looking at the turbo charge one but the exercsie is a hell of alot and with kids and work it is really difficult to follow - will certaily keep juicing this week.

I am sure just eating raw food would be good - make sure you ahve food that gives you energy though - avacado, banana and the supplements he recomends are important. Spirulina etc.

Is expensive but not so bad if you go to the market

I love juice and I think it can have amazing effects on your body but I don't think any drastic calorie reduction diet like this is a good thing for you.

Beetrootccio · 04/03/2007 13:12

whay is it bad to eat fresh fruit and veg? is it worse than choc? wine? coffee?

I feel healthy with loads of energy - is that a bad thing?

OP posts:
Beetrootccio · 04/03/2007 13:13

loads of calories - avacado, yog, fruit is high in calories
