Anyone want to join me in a 2 day juice fast on sat and sunday and lose 4lbs ?

[mousemole]

I've done Jason Vale's juice fast for a week and it is really good - lost 7lbs both times. haven't got the willpower to do a week at the moment but am thinking of doing tomorrow and sunday.I've done 2 days before as well and lost 4/5lbs so its a good kick start.I didn't put the weight back on straight away either.
Anyone want to join me ? You need a juicer really.

I'll join you mousemole! I have a juicer in my cupboard, bought it for following a juicing diet but for one reason or another i havent done it yet.

Do you have any recipes?

Hi beanie - great ! I don't follow the diet to the letter - here is what I juice and drink through the day..
Day 1- Juice 6 apples,couple of bags of carrots, a cucumber, celery, a chunk of ginger and half a pineapple. That should make enough juice to last till tea time. ( I drink a glass every 4 hrs). In the evening just plain carrot and apple juice ( 4 or 5 carrots and a couple of apples).

Day 2 - not as good as less fruit -
Juice spinach, courgette,curly kale,cucumber, celery, 2 apples, 2 pears, half a pineapple and 1 bag apples.
Again, this should last till tea time when you then have just cucumber and apple juice ( one cucumber and 2 apples).

Preferably organic fruit and veg and all the herbal tea you want through the day.

FAB... getting motivated now. Just think of those scales monday morning !!

ooh sounds great, thanks mousemole. I will buy the ingredients on way home... luckily i've just been paid!!

I love the idea that it's just one big juice that you have through the day and another in evening, it's not constantly whizzing up the next one.

Thanks for the motivation, will def be doing this. Let's compare on Monday!

good luck beanie ! warning - 4pm is a big blood suagr low time and the time of day I find the hardest !

how you doing beanie - all good here but have a headache !

it's going ok mousemole. don't feel very hungry - and I thought I would - and the juice tastes quite nice. today's is not as good as yesterday's though!

DP reminded me we're meant to be going out for dinner tonight for a friend's birthday, which i had completely forgotten about, so i'll have to have an evening meal. which is really anoying

but i really think it will have made a difference, i def feel less bloated. I definitely got the 4pm blood sugar dip though, and I had a headache when i woke up this morning.

How's things going with you?

hi
well done ! Dont worry about the evening meal but try and not to eat too much - from past experience if you dive in to food too quicly you end up feeling lousy ! Glad you feel less bloated. My tummy is much flatter. Had lost 2lbs accoring to the scales this morning. YAY ! Goo luck for the rest of the day

how did you go beanie ? 3lbs off - quite pleased with that.

hi mousemole! Sorry, I didn't manage to get online yesterday. I managed to lose 3lbs too, which I'm really surprised about! I did eat a little bit on the sunday night, but i made do with a big salad, so it looked like i was joining in. but really i didn't eat a lot of it, i didn't want to undo the good of the juice. I didn't drink much water over the weekend though, i forgot to ask you whether i should be. Do you drink water as well as the juice? Starting to wonder if dehydration caused the headache.

I feel so much better starting off this week with a bit of weight loss, it's so much more of an incentive to stay good. I really liked doing this, thanks again - now i know i can pull this out the bag if i need another booster.

hi beanie
from experience the headaches are detox side effect. You can drink extra water - certainly good to keep hydrated. J.Vale recommend just eating soup and salads for a few days after the juice fast and you see even more weight come off. I am trying that today - am very motivated to continue being good ! Well done us
