Okay
so I wanted to post about my latest obsession. JUICING!! I have only been doing
it for a couple of weeks, but it has been awesome.
I am hooked. I know I have only been doing it for a short time, but I have felt great! Being clear
headed and full of energy all day makes my life even better. Most people say, “but does it fill you up?”. The
answer is no it doesn't, however it serves its purpose by filling my body with
nutrients and makes my body crave fruits and veggies.
I wanted to start juicing because one of
my friends told me to watch “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead”. It’s a documentary about a mans journey on a 60 day juice fast. His results are
incredible. By the end of it the disease he had was gone, he lost a ton of weight, and he no
longer had to take medications. Everyone should watch it on Netflix! I truly believe that God gave us food to eat
straight out of the ground, and we don’t take advantage of it enough.
I am enjoying the benefits of juicing
so much already that I have decided to go on a fast. I am going to juice
for three days starting Tuesday August 12th. I
know three days might not be 60 like Joe from the documentary. But hey, I am
setting a realistic goal for myself. I love to eat, so I thought three days
might be a good place to start. I want you to join me. Lets juice for three
days. Get all of those toxins out of our body and experience the results. Maybe after three days we will want to
keep going, or do a five day detox a few weeks after.
Juicing
takes time and lots of cleaning up, but I think its worth it! Im not so good at following directions so I just throw stuff in there. Honestly everything has turned out great for me! Here is a picture of my favorite recipe so far.

| 4 carrots, 1 green apple, 4 celery sticks, pinch of ginger, half a lemon, 1 beet, handful of spinach, half a cucumber, and 1 sliver of garlic. (is that called a clove). This was for two people. You might want to only use half of everything for one person. |

| This is my Juicer! The Breville Juice Fountain BJE200XL. It was featured in the documentary and only cost $100.00 |
My other favorite recipes so far that I don't have pictures of are:
Half a pineapple, 1 apple, 2 peaches (or pears). SO YUMMY FOR BREAKFAST.
1/2 lemon, 1 green apple, 2 carrots, and a little bit of fresh ginger
4 carrots, 1 mango, 1 pear, and 1 apple
The resources below will help you learn about juicing! Also, you can explore Pinterst for recipe ideas and detoxes. The first website will explain the juice fast that I will start on the 12th.
Please comment if you plan to join the fast or have any tips or recipes.
I think its good to set goals before doing something like this, here are mine:
1) To see what its like not to eat for 3 days
2) Get all toxins out of my body
3) Set a standard of eating(or drinking) clean
I will keep everyone posted on my grocery list and other things I will be trying while detoxing.
