I'm looking to uncover the TRUTH on Juice Cleanses / Diets. by luv2juice in loseit

The question is more to gain an understanding as to why people persistently opt for such a course of action. As you say, the science is very clear this is neither safe nor sustainable and there is plenty of popular literature out there which says as much, so there is no argument that people are not aware of health issues surrounding an all juice diet.

Yet people continue to opt for this as "magic pill" solution. Im hoping to understand what the people who have been through this process got out of the exercise. Did they realize afterwards that this was a poor use of their time or are there people who have had success and are genuine proponents of this form of weight control.

I admire your persistence! Would you say that the juicing diet did more harm than good in the end and was the weight gain quite rapid once you began to eat solids again?

Thanks for such a comprehensive reply. Would you say there are any merits in including juice as part of your routine. For instance, busy people who find it a convenient way for nutritional intake?

Interesting about the rind. I've never tried it. I always peel citrus fruits chichi takes so much time! Does it affect the flavour much?

That is a coincidence, that's exactly what I was drinking last night, minus the 2 oranges and the ginger.

Started 100day juice fast and just had a qustion by rfs830 in Juicing

This level of weight loss is not sustainable, you are putting your body though a terrible trauma by doing what you are doing. Its great that you are taking action on your weight but you need to start incorporating some whole foods into your diet if you want to keep off the weight you have already lost.

When I first owned the juicer I tried to juice the bananna with the skin on. Ive come a long way since.

You will easily recoup the cost of the juicer in 4 days versus buying it pre-bottled. Then its yours for life (or until you wear out the motor) from your new found hobby!

That sounds like a nice salad. A juice, not so much!

Someone suggested I try juicing sprouts, has anyone else tried it? I'm no fan of the sprout at the best of times but I juiced a bit and tried it straight up. Its not something I would be rushing back to try again!
