Juice Breakfast: Day One

OK, so here is my very first juice meal: 3 carrots, 2 apples, and a slice of ginger. Surprisingly, it does not taste bad. The only thing is that the ginger is a little strong. Even bigger shocker: I'm full! Imagine eating 3 carrots and 2 apples in one sitting. It's essentially the same thing, just in a concentrated juice form. So my first meal was easy and I'm feeling pretty good right now. I'm thinking it's the calm before the storm, though since the video says the first three days are pretty miserable. I know I'll have to get used to not chewing things for sure! So day one meal one, no problems, tasty juice, and I don't feel sick. Yay!

Juice Diet Begins

So there I was watching TV one day when this commercial with an Aussie man came on. He was talking about how he was "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead." The man apparently cured his autoimmune disease and lost a ton of weight just from being on a juice diet for 60 days. While I'm not ill, I am interested in losing weight and have tried many a diet. Some worked and some didn't but I usually always gained the weight I lost back. This seemed different though; you are actually feeding your body really well with the things it needs most: vegetables and a little fruit! Well I was inspired by the stories on his documentary and decided I'd give this juicing thing a go. I don't know if I'll be able to do it for 60 days or not, but my short term goal right now is three days. That's right, nothing but homemade juiced vegetables and fruit for 3 days or more. I'll definitely need some prayer! Anyhow, if you feel like it watch this documentary! It's an hour and 40 minutes, but it's really interesting. Well peace out! I'm going to make my first juice breakfast!
