Hello fellow juice heads and good morning.  It's day 2 and I am down another 3.1 lbs!  I have almost lost my weight I gained in my 10 day break and my BMI is also down.  I am listed by American standards today as overweight, which is another whole story.  Everyone should watch the documentary, Fathead, which discusses our weight standards in America, they are ridiculous. Yesterday I had fruit juice in the morning and followed that with a green tea.  Joanna and I went for a walk with the dogs to the park since it was so beautiful here in Virginia.  For lunch I had carrots, celery, cucs, tomatoes, parsley and an apple.  I drank lots of water and made the same for dinner at work last night. We were very busy at Mangia last night and I had another green tea around 7 o'clock.  I ran around so much at work that I think it helped me lose more weight (lol).  At the end of the night the kitchen made us some pasta in vodka sauce and I did eat some.  I just had a little and it tasted so good and yet I still lost weight.  Today I am having grapefruit, apples, kiwi, and strawberries.  I'm working again tonight, hopefully there will be lots of running around!  I will juice twice for lunch and twice more for dinner with green tea in between.  Happy juicing everyone and remember feedback or your juicing story is welcome.

Good morning everyone, it's day 2 and off to good start. I lost 1.3 lbs yesterday and did eat one meal. I had a piece of Joanna's quiche for lunch and it was good.  By this weekend I will be totally off food and full-time juicing until we go to Florida for spring break! I had green tea after lunch and made 2 pints of juice for dinner and took them to work with me.  Dinner was carrots, celery, cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini and apple.  I really enjoy drinking them now and I learned what recipes I like the most (Joanna does make better ones than me, shh).  When I went off the diet I had coffee a few times and I really don't miss it all!  We had wine a couple of times and enjoyed that, but in the morning I didn't feel very well.  I think the body was not use to any toxins in there and it let me know.  So today I weighed in at 223.5, when I ended my 30 days I was 218.5.  I started this journey at 244.5 and would like to be a healthy 205.  All of my shirts and pants are a little bit loose and it feels great. This time around I am going to use my energy level from juicing and do some more exercise to be totally fit.  Don't forget you need to drink lots of water when juicing to stay hydrated. Well, breakfast today was apples, plums, kiwi, oranges and strawberries!  Yum!  Strawberries are my all time favorite in the juicer. Have a great day and happy juicing all!

Hi everyone its been 1 month! Yesterday was a special day I was down to 219 after starting this journey at 244.5 Lbs. I had my first cup of coffee and dinner with a bottle of wine with my beautiful bride Joanna. It was weird to sit down and eat a real meal. That was a celebration day and now back to juice and cleansing. We had salmon and a steamed artichoke for dinner, so we ate healthy. This morning I still lost 1Lb when I got on the scale and feel great heading toward month 2. I would like to get down between 200-205 after the next month. Today we are going to juice eggplant for the first time and see how that tastes(love eggplant). I know there are a couple of people that are starting juicing today ,  I would love to here others story and journeys on juicing.Some of our readers are from Ukraine , Costa Rico and Germany,would like to hear from you guys as well with feedback. I have lost almost 27 Lbs and was slowed down a few days from my infection in my leg. This made me think I should go longer. A new friend suggested we watch food matters, a great documentary on what happens to our food after it is picked from the farms. Very interesting to hear about what happens and eye opening to your health. Today we had oranges, apples, grapes and kiwi for breakfast . now lunch is being made, its eggplant, beets, celery, carrots and tomato ! yum ! happy juicing and would love recipes and feedback!

Good morning!  This morning I have a confession to make; that since my leg infection, I have been eating a little protein everyday (as the doctor told me that I should.)  But I'm still mainly juicing and I am now down under 220.  I weigh myself on the Wii Fit every morning and it's so nice not to hear that little Wii voice say, "That's obese."  (Hearing "That's overweight" is so much better.)  This week I'm going to try to start exercising more.  I was starting to but with my injured leg I had to stop.  But the past few days we've been taking the dogs to the park for a short walk everyday.  Yesterday we found 3 fresh deer carcases.  I'm not sure what killed them maybe a mountain lion or a bear?  But we're going to go check it out again today.  Today's breakfast was especially good, we had strawberries (my favorite), blueberries, kiwis, grapes and oranges.  Kiwis are one of my favorite fruits and also one of the very best fruits to eat.  Just peel them and juice them, it's delicious.  Happy Saturday everyone, I hope you have a relaxing weekend filled with juice!P.s lost another 1.8 Lbs this morning and going towards 30 lbs of weight loss!

Hello all , this weekend will mark the 4 week mark since the juicing all began. This morning I got on the scale and lost 1.8 Lbs, almost down to 220! My bmi is also down .4 which puts me in the overweight category. My total lose is 25 Lbs and first time in a while I saw 220! Joanna is down 1 lb and has perfect bmi and still eating 1 healthy meal a day. Yesterday we juiced turnip greens for the first time and they were yum. We mixed in cucs ,carrots ,celery ,garlic and red pepper. There is an interesting documentary(besides Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead) called Fathead that everyone should watch. My friend Barry suggested it to us and we watched it. It talks about the eating habits of america and the scales of obesity that we use and how far off it is. For example they interview a Doctor on nutrition and he is tall slim about 6'2 200Lbs. Visibly slim he is obese by American standards , what a joke! If anyone looked at him they would say he is slim and fit. It is a must see for those interested in health. Today we are going to do my favorite beets for lunch,little messy(looks like bloody murder when done) but great body cleanser. Well Joanna just made breakfast peaches, grapefruit, orange, apple and grapes. Yum! happy juicing!

hello on day 25 and lost another 1.5 lbs this morning. My bmi went down also as the weekend weight I put on is gone. Yesterday was my day off and my leg is almost healed. I am working tonight at Mangia restaurant at 400. Yesterday we went shopping and reloaded on cucs, romaine (1 of my favs), celery, tomatoes,zucchini and turnip greens which are good for infections. I also bought unsalted peanuts for my snack ,Joanna said I must post this. For dinner I also had a steamed artichoke with my bride. Joanna has gained 1 Lb over the last few days eating 1 meal a day and her cadbury egg addiction(lol) . She really does look great(and always does) and has been doing her Turbo Fire workouts . Today we are going to take Yogi and Poppers to the park for a walk and then juice it up before I go to work. For breakfast today we are having strawberries,kiwi, oranges, grapes and blueberries!Yum! The berries and fruits are so good for you in the morning and taste just like a shake. Everyone who has started to juice has loved the fruits but are so-so on the veggie juices. You just have to find the right mix for yourself. Recipe books help but might not always have the perfect 1 for you. Don't be afraid to switch an ingredient or 2 to your liking. Happy juicing everyone.
