I had a thing called Denmark/Danish Diet 3month before I got married. It did work really well.
Right now, it is mainly arthritis that gets me to gain weight on top of hypertension meds. Need to eat less, because I move less.

But I digress.

All the cool kids is juicin'!

Eh, I've been under more times than I can count, doesn't bother me. The permanency of having my stomach modified makes my ass pucker though. If I didn't personally know several people that did it I wouldn't consider it. But the amount I need to lose, juicing ain't gonna cut it.

Nope it won't but its a hell of a way to kick start the process as long as you have a firm plan once the thirty days is up. I quit juicing and put the 35ish pounds I'd lost back on over the course of 5 months.

This is the key. As I've said from the beginning it's not a solution by any means. It's a means to an end and a kick starter towards a healthier lifestyle. The ONLY way you will get healthier is by putting healthy things in your body and exercise. If you do the surgery and then keep putting bullshit into that smaller stomach a couple of things are going to happen. First, you are going to continue to be unhealthy even though you may be losing weight. Secondly you will eventually stretch your stomach and stop losing weight and gain weight again w/o a lifestyle change. If you have a hard time committing to a juice diet fully then I don't know how you are going to commit to something so extreme and evasive. Both of these are means to an end and both are to be a jump start to a healthier lifestyle but if you don't change yourself then you won't be any healthier even if you do lose some weight. That's what a juice diet does. It gets you headed in the right direction weight-wise but it also gives you the ability to shed unhealthy cravings, habits & lifestyle. Like I said, one of these is MUCH less evasive and you can start right now. Either way, if you don't enact a lifestyle change it oesn't matter which one you chose because it will be the same as choosing nothing in the end.

Good post!

I've known a couple folks that got bypass surgery, failed to live a healthier lifestyle, and are now as bad, if not worse than they were before, and now their internals are permanently altered. Personally, I believe gastric bypass is only for extreme situations and is an "easy way out" for actually putting in some work and eating right.

Thanks although I meant to say invasive but I think the point was still made.

Hey everyone, y'all probably haven't seen/ heard of me since I'm new. I have a background of personal training, nutrition, and supplements. If you'd like any advice or help I'd be more than happy!

Definitely may take you up on that. I'm actually probably more knowledgeable than the average person on exercise and nutrition (lots of research and working out), but over the last couple years I've hit a major road block. May need some advice to get passed that.
