juice fast

[10mm-man]

Did it but it an unrealistic diet. You lose weight but getting your eating habits correct is more important. I did lose weight but I also gained it back...

I did Nutrisystems a couple months ago and went from 211 to 195 in about a month. More realistic and get's your eating habits in check, gives you a better idea of how you should eat, and balances blood sugar which is the most important.

I had good luck with an all-protein diet once. Absolutely no carbs. (too bad I like beer so much). This diet sounds like all carbs, which can lead to insulin resistance, blah, blah, blah,.... but it's certainly hard to argue with the results that have been posted. Props to anybody who can stick with something like that. if it works for you, great! All it would take for me to fail is the aroma of a neighbor's BBQ, and I'd fall off the juice wagon, and into a big NY strip!

When I was going to church, the senior pastor would do juice fasting for 3 weeks/yr.

I've been wanting to try it but haven't had the willpower (and no juicer).

If your goal is losing weight, I'd look into the low-carb thing. "Atkins" is the big name for it, but any low carb diet will work fine. And by "diet" I don't mean starving yourself or getting into the "buy our supplements every month" bullshit. Don't let the name scare you into "it's a fad diet thing". It's not at all.

It just makes sense when you know the facts. My Doc is 100% behind me and things look good so far as blood work (cholesterol: the bad kind went down, the good kind went up - that was a major concern for me). I'm excited to see what the full year checkup will show in January.

I'm down 50 lbs since December 27th and it was a piece of cake for me (ok, the first 2 weeks were a bit rough). By the way, I've never bought a supplement or "weight loss product". PM if you want any info.

Also, I did the "Master Cleanse" a few years ago. I went 30 days and it sure cleansed the hell out of me, that's for sure (!!!), but I would not recommend that to most folks. Pretty hard core - and I'm not sure how healthy that really is. Probably not very healthy, but damn the stuff that came out of me.........
