In my mind if a person learns to eat properly and maybe loses the weight at a slower pace, you will already know how to eat right.

Do you have a treadmill? Can you wake up 20 minutes earlier and just walk on it before your day starts? Can you watch the news in the evening walking on the treadmill? If so bam that's almost an hour of nice slow pace exercise for ye ol ticker.

Again I can of stress to you how much I'm not trying to critique or judge or whatever, just wanna throw some ideas and food for thought.

Also - when I went from 2000+ calories a day to 1200-1400 I was not hungry often. But when I was I used gena-slim which is a hunger suppressor.

Best of luck my friends!
I think you should read post #38 of this thread, particularly the last paragraph. I think if you read that you will see why the basis of your post doesn't work for everyone.

I have said numerous times now that my life doesn't allow it and believe me when I say this. I've been a work-out nut in the past and have MADE the time when I didn't have it. I'm an only child of a single mother who's cancer has taken a turn for the worse recently. Anyone who has been in these shoes knows that being a care giver (or the only one in my case) is an all-consuming thing and you can't plan for anything. If I had a normal 9-5 job at an office I'm not sure I would even have it anymore. Couple that with a dog that we rescued that was a mill dog and as a result she has some special needs. One of the behavior experts we're working with (yeah, one.. that's how bad she is) said she's a 0.01% dog with her set of issues. The shortened version of this is that she can't be left alone unless I throw them in the back yard. Depending on weather this is incredibly unpredictable. I can't crate her and I can't leave her alone in the house (again, I could go into detail but we're already WAY off topic) so my ability to leave the house to do anything is limited and is usually spent taking my mother to and from doctor appointments & emergency rooms and what not. So, when I am at home it's not like I can just put all of these things on hold and go run on a treadmill for an hour even if I could control my diet which is more critical to over-all health and I've explained why in post #38, last paragraph.

I understand where you're coming from but like I said, you're trying to force a square peg into a round hole by putting your present situation on others and wondering why they just can't do what you do. I know because a decade ago I was the one telling people to make time and work out all the time and just eat better and.... I get it. But everyone is different and their circumstances are also different. I'm trying desperately to keep this thread on track and not bring my personal issues into the conversation because nobody cares about that. It would be much easier if some people would realize that not everyone's life fits what they picture and simply trusts when I say that this is the most healthy thing I can do right now. It's working well thus far and research indicates that side-effects are minimal if any. The hope is that this two months will buy me some time to where things can get a little more situated in my life and I am able to eat better and work out more and all of the above.

This thread is about juice dieting though so let's just keep the conversation to that. If you wanted to start a BJJ or other topic thread you can discuss those things there and I'm sure I may follow for research purposes and who knows, if/when my life changes to where I do have 2-3hrs (hell, even a half hour would be nice) to devote per day maybe I will take that hobby up. Right now it's simply not int he cards.

Ultimately I'm healthier today than I was 1 week ago so it's hard to argue with results.
