Juice Fast Adventure

Just get one from the Trappist monks in Arkansas. Those guys make a fruitcake you can't have if your under 21. It also lasts for months. Mine is still good, smells the same and no mold, holding space in the fridge until Christmas. I got it in March or April.

I think they were in a '60 Minutes' segment a few years back. I am sure its good fruitcake. Piperdbh makes the best I've tasted. I had a big slice of one at a dinner party during the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games 2010. It was to die for. And to top it off it was vegan.

All of a sudden I have a craving for fruitcake!

That would be nice, wouldn't it? I wonder where we could get some?

Lots of responses to this thread I see . Since I last posted on here I have done some hard labor painting student housing apartments for the last few days, but now the job is done and I got down to 225 lbs. The gist of that job was basically lifting heavy 5 gallon buckets up and down flights of stairs all day long lol. It was like weightlifting for 7 hours a day. Now my grandmother is visiting with the family and since I've been juicing I just don't eat as much food and I no longer crave fast food or sodas or anything really processed. I'd say so far so good.

Good on ya. Keep it up.

This past week I spent with my grandparents in Anderson, SC. The usual case when I visit my grandparents is that I always leave with a small amount of cash in my pocket and just a few pounds added onto my weight. But this time I watched what I ate, didn't eat any fast food and sodas, and made sure I ate smaller portions of what we had for breakfast lunch and dinner. To my surprise, I didn't gain a single pound back! Super proud of myself! I will of course continue juicing and eating protein now that I'm back home

Good to be feeling proud about this. As are we all for you. Congratulations!

You deserve to take pride in your accomplishment to date. The only thing stopping me from emulating you is a very serious lack of self-discipline! Still searching for that perfect diet. I'm going to look into that concept of 5/2 with my doctor. She actively assists my wife in harassing me about my weight!

That's exactly the reason I like the intermittent fasting, or 5/2, or Eat-Stop-Eat, or whatever you want to call it. I don't have the self-discipline to count calories or watch every single thing I put in my mouth. But I can skip a couple meals one or two days a week without any trouble.

BTW, I like juicing. I just don't like cleaning out the juicer afterwards, which is why I don't do it more often. :-)

yes lol, its the worst. We don't have a complicated juicer, so it isn't too hard to clean up, but it is a little tedious ;)
