Juicing for weight loss with Joe Cross
Omg!!! I'm a newbie 2. This is my 3rd day but I've only had 1 day of juicing. Problem is I'm up at 2AM, my 88 year old dad is sleeping. The juicer makes crazy crazy noise so I eat fruit in the am. But yesterday I got very light headed and had palps! I ate some broccoli heads with garlic olive oil. All juicing says drink immediately. ....any suggestions/ help!!
Hi Carmen, since you can't use the juicer during the night, make your juice earlier and keep it in the fridge. Do it just before he goes to bed so you have 2 good portions of juice. Also, don't forget to drink water to keep your stomach busy.
Hi Carmen,
I had trouble in the beginning of my Reboot, my juicer also makes a lot of noise and trying to work my schedule around juicing was difficult. One thing that helped me is I made all or most of my juices in one day, usually a Sunday. I found that you can freeze the juice if you are not going to be using it right away. If I wanted a certain kind of juice and it was frozen I would move it to the fridge the night before, next morning it was ready to drink.
Perhaps my answer is late. I have prepared all juices for that day early in the morning. Wherever I would go, I would take the bottle with me. My old juicer broke and I have opted for a SLOW rotation juicer. Works best on leafy greens and not noisy. It has the tendency of not doing a good job on juicy fruits such as pineapple but all in all it is ok.
You need a good juicer to extract ALL or most of the vitamins from it. Light headache can be a sign of not eating enough. You also need to drink plenty of water during the day. Go over the steps you need to do and see where you may improve.
Cheers
I am starting my first reboot tomorrow, I feel very excited about what lays ahead for my health. It is very encouraging reading your story, I know its not going to be easy at the start so that is why I think the forum is so important, for encouragement and advice. Just one question at the moment. Is it advisable to set a target for the reboot ie 10, 20, 30 days, or is it ok to just keep going?????
I am wanting to get started with juicing. What advice can you provide?
i am starting a 20 day fast myself..i am on day one. I am her for support and also to give back. I hope to achieve some great results and just to feel better all around but all in all juicing will now be a part of my life forever. I love it
Wow! Great job! I'm going to begin a 21 day and hope I can get down to the 180's! I'm here for support and to give support! Again, fantastic work!
I am going to start my FIRST Reboot on Sunday. I am new to juicing. In going through the recipes from the book "Reboot with Joe" I see where you can use alternative vegetables for other ones. My question is: What if I do want to replace Kale for spinach. How will I know what the "quantity" is for the spinach? Thanks for any help!!
Hi I am using spinach instead of Kale because they don't sell it where i live.. go for it.. swiss chard is good too! good luck!
You are truly and inspiration. Years ago my life changed with your first movie and I have lost my way . Now 4 years and 30 lb later, I feel heavy, unhealthy and sluggish. My body is crying and screaming for healthy nutrients. I have tried it all. I just watched your 2nd movie and already I feel a stir inside of me . As if a small light in a dark hopeless room. I will watch your movies weekly - Thank you in advance.
Thank you; you are an inspiration!!!

I'm Teela. I live in Texas and I am a wife and mother to three young sons.
I am a total newbie but I've had my juicer for just over a week and I've really broken her in! She's AMAZING and I'm in LOVE with her! Heehee
I've probably lost 4 lbs in the last week, and I've only replaced about 3 meals total and just added a BUNCH of fresh fruits and vegetables.
I am going to do a 40 day fast starting on Feb 13th and I am PUMPED! I can't WAIT! Less than one week!
I hope to meet a lot of new and amazing friends along my way. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions and I'd love any support anyone would like to offer.

I'm so mad and angry. I need help before I give up.
I did great the first few days of the fast, lost about 9 lbs and then that's it. I've not seen any weight loss since Day 6 or so, in fact, since starting my period, I've GAINED weight.
Someone help!!!! I know I shouldn't be so obsessed with the number on the scale but OMG WHY AM I GAINING WEIGHT!?!?!?!?!? My husband had the audacity to say it was because I'm drinking too much juice!!!!! Great, so I was a fat blimp stuffing my face....and now I'm a fat blimp drinking fresh and expensive juice!?!?!?! Argh. I want to give up, run away and never come back. I need some support, motivation, advice, help, SOMETHING!

I had a nasty inner ear infection that was close to rupturing my eardrum on Day 4. I went to urgent care and stupidly didn't mention my fast. He put me on 500 mg ammoxicillin 2x a day. I'm on Day 8 of the juice fast (day 4 of antibiotics) and my ear is not better, my throat now hurts, and my other ear seems to be bothering me.
I made an appointment with my family care doctor today and plan to tell him about my juice fast but I was curious if anyone else has experienced anything similar? I'm hoping my doctor doesn't recommend I go off the fast. I need help. Ay tips? Advice? Encouraging words? Similar stories? Help a fellow juicer out. Aside from this darn infection, I feel WONDERFUL!

This will be my third juice fast. I started and completed a 40 day juice fast in February. Then I did a much smaller 4 day fast recently and now I'm looking to start a guided group reboot for 30 days starting May 1st.
Less than a year ago I weighed 234 lbs. I was miserable, depressed and I hated myself and my life. I wanted weight loss surgery but that was not an option (husband's company doesn't cover any treatment of obesity). I was a few pounds away from being technically morbidly obese.
My husband had me watch the amazing documentary FSAND and something clicked. It all made sense and for once in my life, I felt like there was a way I could possibly get my life back.
I lost some weight on my own with portion control and then by replacing a meal or two here or there with juice and by Feb. 13th when I started my first official 40 day fast, I weighed 193 lbs. at the end of my 40 day fast, I down about 25 lbs. I went from a size 18 to a size 12. I went from an XXL shirt to a large. I am also no longer obese!
I don't have an official goal weight but I have a goal RANGE and I still have a way to go before I get there. I'm hoping to find as many people who want to join me and a few friends. We have a group on Facebook right now (only because this type of forum is very confusing for most people once you get more than a page worth of replies) And this is a blog I wrote that explains what the plan is http://my40dayjuicefast.blogspot.com/2013/04/30-day-may-2013-juice.html
You can also see my before and after photos, my weight log, recipes and much, much more.
I can't wait to meet and get to know some fellow juicers and start this 30 day journey to a better health together!
