I am trying to keep myself motivated. Like, I am enjoying that my clothes are fitting better. I have a lot more clothes waiting on me that are smaller. I will have so many options if I just lose some weight.

But he's not still fasting where every meal is still juice.

I'll have to look up the information, but think there's a crucial part missing and would not want anyone on FV to juice fast and then not know how to stop fasting. There must be a gradual way/plan to re-introduce solid foods. It's a lot like when you're sick and need to eat bland foods until your stomach can tolerate it. Juicing slows down digestion and you would need to build it back up gradually. My guess is it would take almost as long as you fasted. The concept being that you don't return to your old, poor eating habits.

I found this and it answers my question of how to go back onto solid foods after fasting.

thanks for posting. It answers my questions. I thought he was convinced to stay meat free.

I think he is pretty much meat-free. There was a video of him saying he did eat fish/sea food, though.

wow Sara.....he looks so different! Oh my....one day that will be me!!!
I can't do fish/seafood, even though i love it, but I am highly allergic. I can't even smell it and still have Shortness of breath, throat, face lips swelling.....not fun at work. At my job, everyone loves seafood.

His eyes were kinda shifty when he discussed dinner. He eats like everyone else does for dinner. Well, that could mean anything.

When you make your juice to make it by a blender or a special juicer?

**sinopa27** · 09-19-2011, 10:22 PM

I have a Jack LaLane juicer.

Wtg on the weight loss all. My DH and I watched Fat Sick and Nearly dead and it SPOKE to my guy. He's been juicing for 20 days now and has lost so much weight. His clothes are fitting better and he's so dedicated. MY DH! The guy who thought a vegetable is a french fry. Now he's on kale, spinach, carrots, someone pinch me! I did the first 5 days with him, holy hell.

btw we bought our juicer on Amazon for only $60. OF COURSE we start in the dead of winter when vegs are at a premium.

well.........I just got a Vitamix yesterday. I have been saving for it and then found it on special on qvc.com. So I was able to get it in red....my favorite color!!
I am so happy for your DH. I am writing down a list of veggies and fruit to get this morning when I get off work. I am ready to start back again. Keep me posted. Take care!

Oh wow. That guy is hot. He doesn't even look like the same person anymore.

I don't do fasts, just the green smoothie in the morning. Most of what I eat during the day is raw, mostly fruit. I'm not sure i have any interest in going anymore raw or vegan than I already am but I suppose I that might change. I'm doing weight watchers right now, and I might change as I get closer to my goal weight. I'm not sure I want to completely give up on the standard American foods. I do love cheeseburgers.

My favorite smoothie right now is probably a bag of frozen mixed berries blended with water and baby spinach. My poor vitamix, it works harder than I do.

ETA, I'm turning 30 in a few days and I've lost about 30 pounds since I turned 29.

Oh my gosh...I picked up the same one on the same special!! I love it! I use it everyday and my whole family gets smoothies with lots of yummy nutrition.

do you just drink plant based juice for 30 days...how many calories are you allowed...I have a drink that i drink and it is called green goodness and if drank the whole bottle i think its roughly 700 calories.....you eat or drink nothing else...what about water? thanks for answering my questions...my body is so tired right now and i have been sick for the last two weeks and i think its time to take charge....
