Juicing Day 6

After watching Fat sick and nearly dead on Netflix about a two men who lost a gazillion pounds just on juice fasting I got so motivated I went out and bought

This...I did my research and this was one of, if not the best in the market. It was a little pricey, but it is so worth it.. And oh boy does this baby have power!!.. It comes with 2 pitchers one to catch the pulp and the other to hold juice, but I use a small plastic bag where the pulp pitcher goes for easy clean up. I can stick a cucumber down the shoot and instantly I mean instantly it disappears into juice. Talk about power...

I have been on this juice fast 6 days NOTHING but fruit and vegetable juice and I mean NOTHING BUT THAT!.. At first, I went out and bought all sorts of exotic fruits vegetables and learned quickly that not only would I loose weight I would also go broke on this fast... so I broke it down to two basic recipes and started buying only Carrots, Apples, Cucumbers, Kale, and Spinach.. So far...my favorite juice is Carrot and Apple so yummy!! The rest of the veggies I use for another juice called Green Juice.

The truth is, it really is hard in the beginning I got headaches, and felt weird not eating but after a few days it became easier and easier. It is recommended that this fast last only 10 to 15 days...we shall see.

The benefits of juice fasting:

• increased energy
• reduced cravings for junk food
• improvement in chronic conditions
• clearer mental focus
• weight loss
• sleep improvement
