The story of the trucker, Phil was an inspiration and I thought I had to try it. I immediately went out and got some juicing foods. First I just blended the stuff with my VitaMix Blender, then after a few days found a good Breville juicer. I actually decided I liked my juice best first blending the fruits and veggies in the VitaMix, and then essentially straining it out in the Breville. I started as a 6'1" guy at 297 lbs. After 20 days, I was down to around 261 lbs... Unfortunately, I got struck with a case of hubris and stopped following the regime and started binging at all you can eat restaurants again. I started backsliding on the weight cause I wasn't faithfull to the regime and now I’m at 270lbs. But I’m committing today to start over and go for the full 60 days. <br /><br />BenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231305164855240671.post-57794563272378697342011-07-28T20:52:47.288-06:002011-07-28T20:52:47.288-06:00That's essentially what my sister is doing to ...That's essentially what my sister is doing to combat stage 4 pancreatic cancer. The Gerson diet is mostly juices made from organic produce. So far she's doing better than the doctors were expecting. They gave her 6 months to live and that was the day after Valentine's day. She's still zipping around and still working!!!!! (She was denied SS.. btw.) <br /><br />Toss the pulp in the compost.. although there are some recipes that use that too.<br /><br />You get a lot more vitamins & antioxidants this way vs cooked veggies. Broccoli in particular is one that easily loses it's health benefits to heat.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17159095601570766616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231305164855240671.post-13949960631730528242011-07-28T16:23:55.475-06:002011-07-28T16:23:55.475-06:00I haven't seen this movie and I've never t...I haven't seen this movie and I've never tried juicing. I would probably enjoy both, though I don't think I could do the Reboot. I might have to see if I can find that movie and learn more about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231305164855240671.post-65042080492560699022011-07-28T15:48:24.626-06:002011-07-28T15:48:24.626-06:00Any idea how many calories a day Joe was consuming...Any idea how many calories a day Joe was consuming in juice?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231305164855240671.post-87127296880442970882011-07-27T21:36:44.809-06:002011-07-27T21:36:44.809-06:00@Amanda You know what?

I seem to be getting some fiber anyway judging by my increase in...well...let's just say I'm making more pit stops that I used to.<br /><br />I notice that when I'm done juicing into the attached catching cup, I pour it into a tall glass filled with ice. It always seems pretty thick, like somewhere between foamy and liquid. I'm guessing a descent amount of fiber is still coming through although I do have quite a bit of pulp left in the disposable side. I'm thinking about using it in the composter.<br /><br />Thanks for the commenting!Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06848643822308909132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231305164855240671.post-51884248815771612692011-07-27T21:21:56.595-06:002011-07-27T21:21:56.595-06:00Haven't seen the movie.

An interesting one is apple, cucumber, spinach, mint and a squeeze of lemon juice.<br />Fruit smoothies are excellent, blend with yoghurt instead of ice cream. You can freeze normal yoghurt in ice cube trays to make it even colder - excellent if your yoghurt is just about to go off. I also cut and freeze any fruit that is going bad for smoothies.<br /><br />AmandaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
