I am starting a juice fast tomorrow. I was going to start it today but it is the 4th of July, and unfortunately I will be eating some food. Anyway, I started exercising but I need to lose these last 50 lbs. So I am trying to completely change my regime. I will continue to exercise everyday but I will also like to go on a juice fast until the rest of the weight is gone an then continue with a Raw Lifestyle. I was wondering if there was anyone out there that would like to be an email "Buddy" on my trip. We can encourage each other and trade recipes.
I just got a juice machine and I am excited to start using it!
Also if you have been on a juice fast before, were you able to lose the amount of weight you wanted? How long did it take you? Do you have any advice on what juices I should have specifically?
Any and all help is appreciated.
Best to everyone!!

This is a reply to # 1,449,779Hi everyone,
I made it to day 2! I'm pretty excited, I saw that some weight came off on my scale, I have about 48lbs to go!!! I was wondering if it is better to wait to exercise after my body gets used to the fasting, or if I should just jup in and continue my routine. I don't want my body to go into shock I'm hoping to stay on this fast a long time, until I reach my goals.- Re: Juice Fast Day 2 Exercise now or... fasting_forever

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,450,523Best juices to help you lose weight fast are pomegranate and grapefruit. What I normally do is one day I will drink pomegranate and the next day drink orange or apple. But when I juice fast I exercise whenever I have the energy. But I always go for a walk even if I feel terrible.

I personally just focus on the fast and juice calories. I save exercise for metabolism recovery. Plus with water fasting ,which I do, one is not really suppose to exercise much or work up a sweat to be on the safe side.
Since you are doing juice it is safe to exercise but be aware of your calories and hydration level to avoid "shock"
You should only cut 1000 calories from total intake max to avoid stalls/shocks. Keep the calorie level at an average 1000-1200 at the lowest to avoid shock too.Just a fat burning tip that really works for fasting:
Keeping you activity "low impact" like walking instead of running (high impact) you burn a high amount of fat percentage wise. The intense exercise will burn more calories and take more weight off BUT if you want to lose in the long run try to make your goal to preserve lean muscle tissue with weightlifting and low impact cardio.

This is a reply to # 1,451,213Thanks! I'm walking to work this week and next week I am going to add some weight lifting. The juice fast has been great so far, I think it will be better with the breakfast that you mentioned. :)

This is a reply to # 1,449,779I know it's a couple of days later but mind if I join you? This will be the first time I have had a fasting buddy. Also I'm doing a Water Fast unlike your juice fast.
I did about a 20 something Water Fast until recently. I lost count because i was enjoying it so much it became part of my life. I had to stop when I got a bad headache and cold. The flu medicine I was taking unknown to me had sucrose to sweeten it. So I kind of ruined it all. Now that I'm all better
I've decided to go and try again. I want to stop at 160. I don't know my exact weight because I only weight my self every 30 days. Last time I did that was on the 15th of June and I was 212.3 pounds. Now I know I lost weight since then but how much I don't. Until the 15th of this month I won't know my exact weight. I do this so that I don't get to obsessed about my weight.
I want to keep my spirits up. My main mode of exercise is to walk to work and to walk home. It's about 8 to 9 miles combined. It's boring but effective and functional since it saves me money and gets me somewhere.- Re: Juice fast to lose 50lbs, Anyone... Trystan12

This is a reply to # 1,450,730I'd love to have another partner. My goal is to weigh 150, right now I am down to 194. It is strange because I am not hungry at all, but I still have this urge to eat. I am hoping that that urge will be gone by tomorrow. I tried a Water Fast but it was just too difficult for me. If you want feel free to send me an email. I will write back as soon as I receive it. I think everyone should have some support on their fasting journey.

This is a reply to # 1,450,759That's funny. I'm aiming for 150-160 and I know how hard a Water Fast is. I kept failing several times but i kept trying until eventually I went over the hump of the first week. After that the energy boost was like being strapped to a rocket. All the headaches are gone and all the tiredness disappears but I had to be careful because of the low blood pressure.

This is a reply to # 1,451,049Yes with the Water Fast I have tried, and tried, and tried... and of course failed. I decided juicing would be so much easier for me, and if I wanted I could Water Fast for a day a week, which seems so much easier for me. I hope you will be able to make it past that first week. Anyone that can Water Fast is an inspiration for me! Good luck.

This is a reply to # 1,451,928I know how hard a Water Fast is. It's so bloody easy to lose all the work with just one intense craving. Took me a while to get over the hump. But after the first week. Man it was sweet. It became really easy and i forgot about food.

I know this is belated....
But I would love to join. I keep putting it off.
I just found a place that delivers fresh made juice blends AND I can order online. So I really have no excuses...lol
That is as easy as ordering a pizza but better choices health wise. Not quite as $$$ as japanese either..lol
Also if you have been on a juice fast before, were you able to lose the amount of weight you wanted?
Yes I have juice and water fasted before. I did not set a weight goal but listened to my body. It seems to like to fast away 10-15 pounds before it asks for food. I do not like to push it because when I have, it ends up in rebound eating. I do however want to push for this final 20.
How long did it take you?
It has taken different amounts of time due to the types of fasts or my body's weight.
(higher weight = higher metabolism = faster loss/day)
Do you have any advice on what juices I should have specifically?
I like to have whatever I am craving really. It makes me stick to my plan and I have gotten better at listening to my body through fasting. I find that my body craves what it is short on. My favorites are orange, lemon/lime-o-aid w/ organic sweetner, the master cleanse mix, coconut milk diluted. I just make sure to count the calories of my juices so I don't overdo it on the sugar calories.
I want to try a mixed fast to lose 20 lbs and get back to my old weight of youth.
I have already lost 50+ with "diets"/fasting and kept it off with lifestyle changes of just eating better.
Today is last supper and then I will post my starter weight Wed. morning. I think its 125-130ish.
Are you making a progress photo diary or anything?
I think I am going to do a mixed fasting of water and juice with maybe a raw food meal with digestives enzymes 1-2 times a week.
One of the best weightloss methods for me was fasting every other day. I may move that if the strait juice/water and raw food makes me feel too sick with weightloss and detox. I like to keep it pleasant as possible.
I am not exercising other than yoga (mild stretches nothing like hot yoga etc)- Re: Juice fast to lose 50lbs, Anyone... Trystan12

This is a reply to # 1,451,176I would love you to join us on our fast! I think that next month I will continue fasting like you, doing a mix with juice/water/ and raw foods. Right now I feel as If I cold continue this juice fast forever. I think it will be great if I take the time to very slowly get off the fast. Maybe 3 months or so and just continue adding some raw foods to my diet but still regularly use my juicer. Good luck today!

This is a reply to # 1,449,779I was wondering if it is normal to not drink as much water on a fast? I am getting in 5-6 cups a day, and that is because I have to remind myself and force myself to drink.

This is a reply to # 1,452,708Happened to me in the beginning. After a while I decided to drink when I got a slight headache or my lips got dry. T hen I moved on to just drinking randomly.

This is a reply to # 1,449,779I am starting my fast today 7-3-13 and I have a lot of weight to lose. Do you mind if I join you folks too? I fasted on and off before and lost about 75 pounds and actually had healing in my eyes and high blood pressure stabilize. But a lot of that was on a Water Fast and some juicing. I think I was doing something wrong because my weight would come to a stop for several days. I tried alternating to juicing and it helped for a few days and would go right back to a stand still. Still trying to figure that one out. I noticed my body would always would want less water everyday. You must stay hydrated. I forced myself to drink water and I hated it but I did it anyway. juicing will help keep you hydrated. This time, I am doing a juice fast and will alternate if needed.
