I am happy to report that after the first two days, day three gets easier. Day two was especially hard. I had a headache, no energy, my stomach was unsettled, and I ended up sick. By day three most of that had gone away. I didn’t really have any cravings, I felt much better, my skin had gotten really clear, and I had more energy.
I did decide however that I wouldn’t continue for the full 7 days. Unfortunately, I just wasn’t getting enough calories to maintain my normal workout. While the juice did make me more active and alert, I couldn’t sustain that energy through a workout.
I won’t be stopping juicing however. Instead, I will be supplementing it with other meals.
For anyone who is interested in doing this to clean out their system or lose some weight, I would say go for it. I really do feel that my body is in better shape after doing so.
You can see my final update video below. For some reason, the video was dropping frames while I was recording which messed up the video a little bit and also distracted me.
Please leave comments or questions.
Did you find that juicing gave you a “sugar boost”? I understand that drinking a glass of OJ is like eating 10 oranges. I am curious about the caloric effects of juicing. I usually put fresh fruit in my protein smoothy, but stay away from all juices. Thanks.
That’s because orange juice as bought at the store usually contains large amounts of sugar. Raw fruits have much less.
