Anyone here ever done a juice diet?

Know where I can find a DVD of it? I watched it online, but she won't go for that. On the TV, she'd watch it, but not on a computer. I'm actually eager for her to watch it. I don't do Netflix.

Her health is a pretty important thing to sit and watch something on a computer, laptop, smart phone or whatever. I have the ability to watch things on YouTube on my TVs pretty easily with a few different options. Not sure what to tell you other than google how to download a video from YouTube and then burning it to a DVD-R in a format that a DVD player will read. Most PCs come with DVD burners these days and the media is cheap and the programs that do it are free. That seems like an awful lot of effort compared to her just watching it on YouTube in some format.

I'm unemployed too brother. You have to pay money for crap food that's killing you so you might as well pay money for good food that's going to save your life. Why do you have to slide into it slowly? Just go to Walmart and buy some Bolthouse Farms juices for $3.48/ea and start drinking them. You'll probably drink 2-3 per day which is still less than 10 bucks per day all in.

Guess you'd just have to know her, too much to explain. But I'll do this!

I just know you've been talking about doing this for some time now and haven't started. Ordering a DVD online, waiting for it to arrive & then waiting for your wife to make time to watch it before YOU can start to get healthy just doesn't make sense to me. Just trying to motivate you to do something about it because I was the same way not all that long ago.

Did you miss my post a few back (#170)? I went to a Goodwill store and found a Jack Lalanne Power Juicer for $27.53. It cleaned up great and appears to run fine, so I'm over the first hurdle. A start anyway. My wife is the next hurdle, she's not going to think this is a good idea because SHE didn't come up with it! And I know she's gonna shit about the amounts of produce this will require.

Use the left over pulp to make chips and stuff. That should give her something to do! lol j/k

Whoever the mod was that just flushed that turd - thank you!

But what you're doing is blending. A juicing diet is very specific and you can't eat the pulp/fiber of the fruit as it defeats the purpose. You don't want your digestive system working as that's not the point. Once I'm done with the juice fast I may use the pulp for all sorts of things but for now I'm not eating it. Same reason I can't just eat an apple or a carrot.

That's pretty much what I said. I suppose I have nothing to contribute here then. Best of luck to you in getting fit.

Ok, just whipped up my first Mean Green - dear God this is nasty.....like the stuff I wash off the bottom of my lawnmower. This is gonna be a long road.

Did you get a juicer today or already have one?

My old natural energy drink I used to make was 5 carrots and a few sprigs of parsley. Wasn't bad. Whole Foods may order the 25lb bags of carrots if you ask.

I found a Jack Lalanne Power Juicer at a Goodwill store for $27.53. Gotta try some more recipes.
