Good morning to all! Day 16 has arrived and gone is another Lb ! Just under 225 and going strong. My Bmi keeps dropping which is great. Joanna has been juicing twice if not three times a day still and lost 1.3 lbs yesterday. We are having fun mixing different fruits and veggies together. The one thing that drives me crazy is with all this juice in me I have to pee a lot!! Yesterday I did a double at Mangia and drank 6 juices and lots of green tea and water(very important). If you start juicing don't be afraid to take it with you somewhere. You should drink the juice within 24 though, don't make a pitcher and let it sit in the fridge for a couple of days. Today we are going on a long hike with Yogi and Poppers (our dogs). Its going to be 65 here in Virginia! Breakfast is made today its strawberries, oranges ,apples, grapes and plums(first time using plums). Yum! My friend Melissa sent an energy recipe to me I wanted to share, its watermelon, pears and a little lime. Please send more recipes and comments ! Happy juicing to all! P. S. my sister Lea is on day 6! Go sis lost 5 Lbs and going strong!

Happy Monday everyone! Today I got on the scale and lost .4 of a Lb and my Bmi dropped a little more. I must admit though I treated myself last night to a steamed artichoke! It was the first food I have had in 2 weeks. I juiced all day and worked  brunch yesterday and felt great. Today is back to only juice and tea for 2 more weeks and I think I am going to do an extra week. Joanna still juices every morning and either lunch or dinner. Her weight has been steady since she has slowly been eating meals.Its makes me happy that their has been almost 700 readers on my blog so far! Not to mention many people have started to juice. Its a perfect way to start the new year and I think you could have fun with it. Red Peppers are my new thing , they taste so good . I mix the with Carrots, Celery, and sweet potato. Yum! Well I have to go to work now and breakfast is Grapefruit, Apples, Oranges and Grapes! Happy juicing everyone and thank you Karli for telling me the broccoli , parsley and apples mix is yucky! I like the heads up, lol .

Good morning blogees,its 2 weeks today! i lost another 1.3 Lbs and feeling fine. my Bmi dropped again also as I am losing fat. I have lost 20 lbs the first 2 weeks and hope to lose another 15 at least. if i do some workouts with it I should be healthy and trim.For those who dont know why Joanna and i started this is after watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead(documentary). I suggest everyone to watch it , its very good. It is an eye opening show about how we eat and what we should eat. It shows how the juicing works in your life and your diet. You will see 2 amazing people in the show and how they change their lives.Yesterday I had Scallions, Carrots, Cucs and Kale with an Apple for lunch. At dinner was Celery, Zucchini, Carrots, Spinach, Garlic and Cucs(YUM).My pants are getting looser and I sleep better and better at night. All my shirts are not too short or tight anymore and Im not sweating like I did(for those who know me well wont believe that,lol).Well Jo made breakfast and its Pineapple, Oranges,Grapes and Apples. Its real good,thanks babe. Than off to work. Happy juicing everyone.If anyone has good recipes , please post!

Good morning everyone, its day 13 and we are going strong. today my Bmi dropped a half point and I lost almost a half Lb. I am down to 227 from 244.5 and feel great with 2 weeks and 1 day to go.I am actually thinking about going a little longer. Joanna has gained 2 Lbs in the last 3 days (but looks great !). Her Bmi is perfect and is what it should be.Last night I cooked and used whole wheat pasta for Shrimp Scampi, with asparagus and artichoke hearts. Joanna has still been juicing at least twice a day. she like the energy she has and feels really good. My sister Lea is on day 3 juicing and is excited to feel better, go sis!! People ask what the difference is between juicing and blending. When you juice(we use a Breville juicer) it takes all the vitamin content out and has a pulp catcher for the rest of the fruit or veggies. My belt is being used for its true job (to keep my pants up) for the first time in a while. Today we are going for a long hike with our dogs and workout later before work. Last night I juiced asparagus tips for the first time with Carrots, celery, Cucs and Kale. It was real good and loved the asparagus. well its breakfast time and hiking time. Today Joanna made me Pineapple(first time,real good), Oranges, Grapefruit, Grapes  and Melon.Yum! Happy juicing today and every day.

Hello bloggees and good morning. Its day 12 and feeling great, gained .4 of a Lb yesterday. I had a good workout yesterday, biked for 15 minutes and did chest and shoulders. I feel a little sore but I had good energy during the workout. Joanna juiced all day again yesterday even though she finished her 10 day cleanse. She did eat some hummus at night with crackers.I had a dream I was eating gnocci the other night and they were good lol. My bmi went up a half point as well yesterday, hoping it was the workout.It has been nice to get feedback and questions from everyone. I am glad their are lots of new juicers out there, keep it going! My friend becca said I should post another fruit or veggie from our juicer book with a recipe, so here we go. Did you know how good Parsley is for you? Its not just a plate garnish. It is a to blood and body cleanser filled with vitamin A and C. It helps these conditions as well, arthritis, Bladder disorder, Cancer, circulatory, Eyes, female Endocrine Imbalance, Heart Disease, Kidney, Liver, Prostate and Skin Disorders, Weight Loss and Urinary Tract Infections! Who thought that small leafy plant did all that as a juice.Our recipe with Parsley is Kale, Tomatoes, Carrots(always), Cucs and 1 apple. Yum! Happy juicing everyone, and remember comments are welcome! Breakfast is made Peaches, Melon,Oranges and Apples! Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone, day 11 here and 1 more lb gone. My BMI dropped a half point also. Joanna gained .9 of a lb as she finished her 10 day cleanse. Joanna had an spinach salad for dinner last night and could only eat half, she was full! Later she had a little bit of hummus (chic peas) and was so full. Today instead of eating an egg as she planned she wanted to juice some fruit with me (she also wanted a Starbucks though)! Joanna and I love the fruit in the mornings, they are soooooo good.  My sister Lea bought her Breville juicer yesterday and is starting to juice today! We wanted to say good luck to her.  Someone asked about what to put in your juices. We have a juicer book, we also use the web as well as finding out on our own. Our favorite is strawberries, apples and oranges in the morning. For lunch yesterday we cabbage for the first time with sweet potato (really good), carrots(always), celery, tomatoes, scallions and cucs. Our friend Glen Colello is also on Facebook and is also a juice bar owner in Fairfield, CT.  His site has great links and recipes for those interested, it's "catch a healthy habit" on Facebook. Well breakfast is ready, today is: strawberry, peach and orange. Yum! Happy juicing.

Hello everyone day 10 has arrived and another 2.2l lbs has gone away! I am down to 228 and my bmi continues to drop. Joanna is in her last day of her 10 day cleanse today. So with 20 more days left I am hoping to get close to 200 lbs, which I have not seen in years. Joanna will start with salad tomorrow and eating fruits. Than she will start to eat soups and cooked veggies. This diet/ cleanse also retrains your body to want fruit and veggies. Everyone TELLS us you will put on double the weight when your done(people love to see you fail sometimes,why?). When you are done the key is change and eat in moderation. We will continue to juice in the morning because fruits are so good. We will also continue to do veggies a few times a week.The juicer helps you lose weight and cleanse your body as well as change your body habits. i hope Nic, Steve and Becca my fellow juicers are doing well with it.Well breakfast is served , today is oranges , grapes, grapefruit, kiwi and melon. Happy juicing everyone!

Hi all its day 9 and still going strong!My bmi dropped a point , which is what my weight should be calculating weight and height. I also dropped 1.1 lbs down to 230 and Joanna lost 1 lb as well.Joannas 10 day cleanse ends tomorrow and she will juice fruit on Thursday morning and eat salad for lunch and dinner. You have to eat light and re introduce solid food to your body. then cooked vegetables and eating fruits . i found myself shivering last night sleeping.I think its because I am losing my warm fat(lol). I juiced sweet potato last for the first time it was good! Has extra carbs in it compared to all the fruits and veggies and I had to work last night. It gave me a little extra energy.As i was talking to my friend Leslie last night I was tellinjg her about this juice book we use and she thought I should mention it.It is called the juicing book and lists every fruit and veggie with a list of what it does for your body as well as vitamin content.For example , carrots juice helps acne, asthma, arthitis, bladder problems, cancer, cataracts, diabetes, liver disorders, ulcers, eye disorders, skin disorders, weight loss and pregnacy and delivery!! It also strengthens skin hair and nails. Carrots are one of the best juicing veggies that contain vitamin B,C,D,e and K.They also have calcium , potassium, phosphorous and sodium.You never thought a carrot was that good for you! Since I started juicing my skin has cleared up nice, I stopped snoring and my neck and backache has gone away! Well my bride just made breakfast grapes, blueberries, strawberries,cantaloupe, apples, oranges and kiwi,yum! happy juicing.

Hello on day 8 everyone! This morning my weight stayed the same but my bmi went down a little again(which is just as good). Joanna lost another lb and has 3 days left on her 10 cleanse. She looks and feels great and continues to do her turbo workout with her sis. I feel great also but must say i missed some wings yesterday on championship sunday(football). I have 3 weeks to go and am looking forward to buying some new clothes, they are getting big already. Last night we bought some romaine to juice for the first time, very good. We mixed it with tomatoes, carrots, celery and cucs with a little mango. Green tea that we drink helps out a lot during the day also, and always lots of water. The juice does not keep you hydrated enough so you have to drink water! Well breakfast time mango, oranges grapes, and apples!! Yum!talk to you tommorow, happy juicing.

Day 4

Hi my name is Jeano and I am 40 years old and recently started a juice diet. My goal is to go 30 days juicing fruits and veggies.  It will be a cleanse and a weight lose for me and it is the first time I have done this! My wife and I are in day 4 of our diet and both lost weight and feel great. The first day of transition was rough with hunger pain and headaches! Today (day 4) we have lots of energy and feel great. We have 2 glasses of assorted fruits juiced in the morning(apples, oranges, nectarines, mango, melon, grapes), 2 glasses of veggies juiced for lunch and dinner(kale, carrots, celery, tomato, cucs, beets). During the day we also drink lots of water and green tea which is an antioxidant to stay hydrated. Our goal is to change our eating habits and be healthier. I am going to blog every morning about what we had and how much weight I have lost each day. Any recipes or feedback is very welcome, thanks!
