Thanks joe, you've saved my life. I was 316 LBS. I'm now 295 LBS. My goal is to get to 190 LBS by 2015. You really have to change your diet to loss weight and exercise. It's amazing, my wife is loving the change, and she has now joined me on my journey. All three of my boys are juicing as well.
+kenneth R Are you still alive? Because when somebody makes a statement like yours and doesn't follow up..it could mean they had a heart attack and died. Or that the juice diet completely failed for you..which is what I am guessing happened since MOST people who try the juice diet can't stick to it and gain all the weight back according to statistics.
I watched it and was very inspired so i shared it with my elder and wife from church and he started on sept 6,2013 and has already lost 23lbs.....he started at 315 he could not breathe, could not tie his own shoes, and his allergies are slowly going away. i also advised him to ask his doctor to monitor him, because he is on alot of meds. Now he is walking better and able to do all the above things. Thank you Mr. Cross for your documentary.
I've lost about 30lbs doing juicing for about 6 months. I wasn't JUST juicing, I proportioned my meals. Now I nearly avoid ALL foods w/HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP and any food that is labeled (as much as I can cause it's hard) and in almost 3 weeks I lost about 10lbs. I work out, mainly cardio and some muscle training. Drink lots of water/take vitamins. I can finally run for long periods of time and have lots of energy! I use the recipe and add other greens and fruits! Hope this testimony helped!:)
I have been eating 1 meal a day and drinking juice 3 - 4 times a day… for type 2 diabetes I was on 2000 mg. of metformin and 5 mg of glipizide daily and within a week I cut the metformin to 1000 mg and I cut the glipizide out altogether. 1 meal a day of chicken or fish and vegetables. I have dropped 10 pounds in two weeks- this is a perminant change… no bread, no red meat, no processed food period. I am planting a garden in the back yard.... I think I'm hooked on greens!!
Same with my mom who is turning 90 next year. She eats everything in moderation - even grew up eating margarine! That didn't kill her or me either. Of course, we stopped eating margarine years ago, but our bodies adapt.
I'm on day 5 and 13lbs lost. I never lost this much weight so fast. Day 2-3 I was depressed, moody, and had a migraine. Day 4 I felt a boost of energy and felt light footed clear thinking. I'm going 30 days.
I was wondering whatever happened to Jay, the Juiceman. I still have his juicer I bought over ten years ago. He sold out to some big company, I forget which one, and you don't even see it anymore. They sell the Breville at Bed, Bath & Beyond now.
I saw the documentary last weekend and I'm starting my reboot next month and I even have a friend that is going to try it.. It's time to take back our lives and this is the way to do it..
I'm starting the organic natural juice "cleanse" and even though I'm not overweight, I have had lots of joint and other body pains. I can already see a huge difference, just from drinking natural fresh juice! I got a terrible candida yeast infection from drinking processed "100% natural fruit juice" that had been processed and turned into fructose sugar. Same goes for processed orange juice. Now it's all completely organic and fresh made every two or three days. Works! It's a miracle, really. I use a Champion masticating juicer, although a Breville is used on the show.
His video inspired me to do something different and healthy. I have lost 10 pounds the first week and another 5 the following week.The energy level you get from juicing is 100 times better than red bull or monster or 5 hour energy. Unbelievable!!!! Try to keep it organic.
anxietypain There are some serious studies showing your diet DOES have an effect on your mental and emotional state. There's a book someone gave me called "Eat Your Way To Happiness" by Elizabeth Somer, M.A., R.D. It's also about slimming down and curbing your cravings, but there is a large section in the book that talks about mood boosting foods. I really encourage you to look into diet change further, and do the research you need to do to be a healthier and happier you!
If anything it will make you more anxious as you give up food and dont have any of the comfort foods that would calm you down like potatoes, breads etc., you could try going for 3 days and see, then 5 days then 7 then longer, Ive tried and after a day I give up, Ive taken Paxil for 22yrs and recently tapered down from 20mg to 5mg, the good thing about juicefasting is that you can still take the meds, good luck ;)
I like how they cut out the beginning of the into from FSND where he talks about wanting to get off the all the meds pharmaceutical companies profit from.
After watching this documentary I am inspired too, but I'm wondering how many juices you should drink a day. Can you drink as many as you want? They don't say anywhere in the video. Even though I probably only need to lose ten to 15 lbs, I would like to see if this can get rid of my Rheumatoid Arthritis.
It worked while I was on it…. My life is in turmoil right now (new job, working on a BA, starting an MPA) and I failed to stay on the “program.” I don’t know if I would do a 60 day fast…. What I did was a modified re-boot. And Joe says the fasting re-boot isn’t for everyone… THE IMPORTANT THING is this…. Your diet should be mostly vegetable matter…
No discussion how any doctor asked of this diet would (generally) encourage their patient NOT to do it (as i have experienced). When the patients are healthier than their physicians, it's time to rethink medicine (never mind that mcdonalds is now IN many hospitals!).
Actually when I had my first glass of green juice I never thought I would end up saying it, but I love green juice … even without much fruit sweetener … it's great.
I have re-started a couple of times... down 15 pounds, and it can be tough to keep the vegi / fruit ratio at 80/20. I love the juice, I caught the flu in the middle and had to have some chicken soup, BUT, here is the good part, I now wake up in the morning with a blood sugar of @ 110 instead of 180. THAT is a result of the juice... I an down from 2000mg to 1000 mg of metformin and 5 mg of glipizide. My fiancée is also on this and we both feel great...
On Joe's website, he recommends running the pulp through the machine for a second pass to get that remaining juice. Also, the pulp can be saved and added to other recipes or used to make vegetable broth. Those tips reduce a lot of waste.
Funny, Jay Kordich has been teaching this for over 60 years. He still juices everyday and is very healthy and on Facebook and actually answers questions too!
Breville sponsored the movie, but Joe has always been very open and honest about that. Almost all movies and a lot of documentaries use product placement and endorsements to finance the project - watch "the greatest movie ever sold" by Morgan Spurlock on that.
Nope, there's actually two types of fiber in vegetables and fruit. Soluble and Insoluble. We often associate fiber with the insoluble part of fruits and veggies, but in juice like that we still get the necessary fiber to survive in the form of soluble fiber. I've watched the documentary and started fasting, I'm on day 17 and I've lost 27lbs. The biggest challenge is recognizing the difference between a hunger (time for juice) and a craving (stay strong) and keeping control of yourself.
Mother nature intended for us to drink it. Mother nature also sprouted this juicer right out of the ground. I think eating the vegetable would make less of a mess.
No you don't have to use recipes if you know what you're doing. You can put together any combination of fruits and veggies. The biggest problem would be taste, but any tasteless combination can be "rescued" by adding apples and/or carrots, or any thing with a sweeter flavor. Try it!!
The primary lesson here is to CONSUME MORE PLANT MATTER. Find a supermarket that has a great selection of organic produce, and start juicing 2 - 3 times a day, eat salads and maybe some chicken or wild caught fish. in a week or so, and it’s like someone turns the lights on. I could't believe how in tune with my senses I became. So yes, it does work, you just have to be committed to it. Like a smoker deciding to quit, it takes commitment. Stop the junk food, and eat from the garden.
There are some minor food combining rules (really that suggests fruits only with fruits and veggies only with veggies ... but some say they can mix no problem) but basically juice whatever you want and figure out what tastes best to you and what makes you feel best.
fiber makes you full and you get less nutrient density, by juicing you can drink more and get more dense micro-nutrients that will help you detox and heal
I was told I have uticaria, and Dyshidrotic Eczema, and both have fairly subsided due in part to using ONLY soaps that are unsented, and the use of Clobetasol Propionate ointment (.05%). I am off of Zertec, which was perscribed for the uticaria. I don't have hives, and the only time I did have hives was when something brushed up against my skin... that subsided before juicing, and I atribute that to using unsented soap, including laundry and hand soap and unsented body soap.
Wheat may be a plant, but they way most of us get it is in a refined processed form called flour. White flour creates most of the bread we eat and the second you ingest that bread it becomes a sugar, which is not healthy. Complex carbs such as vegetables are much healthier and won't make you fat. As an example, the coca plant has many great properties and health benefits if we use it as tea, but if you refine that down you get cocaine. It's the refining properties that make it unhealthy.
Mother Nature (4:10) did not intend for us to drink juice out of a machine. Mother nature intended us to eat sweet fruits and eat vegetables nuts and seeds. Juicing is fine, but I disagree with that statement.
Joe was monitored by Doctor Joel Fuhrman M.D. a physician who specializes in preventing and reversing disease through nutritional and natural methods. My previous comments were reflective of the typical M.D. who has very little nutritional training. Dr. Fuhrman clearly is head & shoulders above them when it comes to nutritional knowledge. Anyway...sorry for the previous comment. Cheers!
Wow!! Everyone in the audience got a free juicer. That’s a major hurdle for a lot of people wanting to start a juice cleanse. The cheapest model of Breville juicer that was used in the movie costs $150!
To all of you who poo poo this- You just do not understand what the message is. I am 53 y/o, I have Uticaria, I am type 2, and this man echoes exactly how I feel. This is the first time I have heard someone say what I have been saying for years, I am addicted to carbohydrates. My Dr. just smiles when I say that… I am 6’2 and weigh 320 lbs. but I do a 13 mile bike ride in an hour and a half… I started the reboot today…
Someone asked " why not eat the pulp?" Because you are detoxing your body! The liquid will help it travel faster and your body can absorb more nutrients while its in liquid form faster! It has more fiber . I'm loving my results and I have 17 more days to go! He's helping ppl realize they don't need these diet pills and pay Weight Watchers any juice machine will do but a good one is like $150 and up. I bought one for $100 but it kept getting hot so I'm off to the store to get a better one!
Candy, No use in arguing with brain dead trolls. They hate to see anyone succeeding and helping people. They will always try to bring people down to their lowly state filled with negativity & hate. They live their lives trying to prove everyone wrong & themselves right. They deserve our compassion & prayers because they are truly sad, tormented people.
THE IMPORTANT THING is this…. Your diet should be mostly vegetable matter… I felt absolutely awesome when I drank fruit juice in the AM and vegi juice 3-4 times iin the afternoon and ate a salad and fish / chicken for dinner. My skin, even my hair felt great… my hearing and my eyesight felt more attuned…. I FELT AWESOME!!! So YES it did work….
He had to use something, right?! So, he probably used the best juicer out there at the moment. He was juicing for two months straight. He never promoted buying this juicer on his documentary, but now his name is all over the product at Bed, Bath & Beyond. I already own a juicer, otherwise I probably would have bought the Breville, if I had the money.
Dang! I wish I could have been there! It would have been great to thank Joe for doing F,S & ND, it changed my...no saved my life!! Oh, and I would have loved to get a decent (free) juicer too...
This is what I have learned… Changing your lifestyle this drastically causes your body to change - obviously- Joe says the 80 pounds he lost on the 60 day fast was 30% muscle…. THIS will change your metabolism- you will have less muscle to burn fat…. I still believe that protein is needed, and some sort of exercise to try to maintain the muscle. And in order for it to work you MUST not go back to the way you ate before. PERIOD. Or you will put more pounds on than you lost.
Has it helped your hives though? I tried just juicing a few times, but only made it a day or two and the ones with fruit tend to flare me up more. So I've been eating as much veggies as possible, a little meat, some fruit for about 3 weeks. Mine have been better, but I'm still getting them every day. So wanted to know how it's been effecting yours. His took I think 5 months to calm down from what I read. He told me it was 6 months til he was off of meds for them (I asked him on his FB).
@DCRugger320 - I agree with u! I've been taking my maintenance drug for hypertension for over ten years but I am not cured. When I started to become a vegetarian, I am healed. Praise God for the fruits and veggies!
Not trying to sound rude or anything but I hardly think many cows are being tortured or abused. Many farms make the effort to give animals a quick and painless death, efforts are being made to stop animal abuse anyway. I get most of my calories from carbs and protein, if I suddenly went on an 100% veggie fast my body would go into starvation mode cause I'm not getting enough calories. I lift weights, I need large amounts of protein for muscle repair, I don't think veggies would provide enough.
Thanks Joe. I just started yesterday and already lost 2 lbs, but I was only drinking five 8 ounce glasses. Yikes. Now I know I can drink a little bit more. Thanks again.
the happiest day of my life is when i was on a thirty eight day juice fast.seems i couldn't keep my mouth from smiling. i believe that every cell in my body was rejoicing with new life constantly coming into it. after i came off the fast a few day later i tried drinking a coke and threw up. my body was rejecting all impure invaisions. can't beat the jucie diet for a period of time.in fact this is my tenth day of a juice fast.the last time i fasted on juice only was twenty years ago.
Know what you mean! Did it for about 2-3 weeks and it did wonders, my thinking got a lot clearer, although I had headaches, mild ones, but the doozie was - I started to smell everything as they were. It was not pleasant at all. You smelled what people were eating, and if by chance they were eating Chinese food - you could smell the spices on the food and if the meat was rotten or not. In many cases the meat was rotten and the spices was there to cover the smell of the rotted meat but I could clearly smell both while the person would be chomping away without a care in the world. I would break out in a cold sweat and have to move away, because it smelled awful. I was also able tolerate extremely cold weather.
@bluemystic7502 Medical doctors are experts in healthcare. They take nearly all the courses nutritionists do, and then some. My close friend is a nutritionist, and I'm currently going through medical school. There's a huge difference, but good doctors will know a LOT about nutrition and how to eat a diet specific to you.
Hey did u exercise during your juice fast? I did a month juice fast and only lost 25lbs. I walked on my treadmill but it varied from week to week, day to day. Great job on your weight loss! Congrats! It seemed like on the last week my body plateaued and I only lost 2-3lbs that week.
@goldeneye007662 Frankly, you don't know what you're talking about. In most medical schools, would-be doctors receive little to no specific nutritional training. In fact, in 2004 the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition conducted a survey of all 126 U.S. medical schools. Of the 106 who responded, they found that at 17 of them, students were receiving less than 10 hours of nutritional training and in more than half of them they were getting no more than 20 hours. That's it -- in FOUR years.
@GIRLINA101 @GIRLINA101 yes there is..you want to use a juicer -vitamixes are great for green smoothies, soups etc but not good for juice fasting as they contain the pulp.also some think it the vitamix oxidizes the juice.. If one uses even nonorganic produce but does not consume the pulp it is as organic as the juices are locked safe inside the poison laden
@dman71215 the negative symptoms were a healing crisis from detoxifying..sometimes people get worst before they get better but keep it up and you do get better When I became a vegan, and started eating 50% raw, exercising daily and eating whole food as well as doing a long juice fast, there was a lifting like a fog and I could think clearer oh and when juice fasting orgasms are super intense too
The juicer is irrelevant. Just use whatever juicer you can afford. I found my at Goodwill for $9.99 and I lost multiple inches after only 9 days. I had also been reducing my calorie intake for almost a month, but nothing terribly drastic. I was still eating the occasional donut and cheezeburger. The only people who should be making money off this phenom are your local organic farmers. Period.
About "Fat Sick and Nearly Dead" and "Fork Over Knives" - I'm from the England and I know we can watch these films on the net but how can I own a version that is compatible to the UK?
HIS DVD IS THE MOST INSPIRING WEIGHT LOSS DVD IVE EVER SEEN ITS MAKING ME CHANGE MY LIFE AND I FEEL SO GREAT I TURNED DOWN PIZZA,POP TARTS, CHILI DOGS THIS WEEKEND AND I LOVE THOSE THINGS IM DOWN 10 POUNDS AND STILL CRUZING, JUST TREAT FAST FOOD LIKE POISON
i weighed 242-243 and in bout 2 weeks im down 10 pounds and loosing more . its not that bad, i have more eneregy and my thinking has become more positive and i feel so much beeter. and to be honest when you go number 2, alot more comes out :)
cont fibers and repel the pesticides as oil to water according to juice father doctor walker who lived to be age 97 on juices and raw foods--when fiber is in it or food is taken around that time most of the vital elements go to digestion but if one just consumes the juice it goes to healing and repair. Drink the juice within 20 minutes lest the ezymes etc dissipate make fresh each time do not hold in fridge (but with green smoothies you can hold 2/3 days) if fasting chew the juice.
cont If taking greens in your juice alternate the kind of greens you use every few days lest you get sick cause of chemicals in the plants but if alternated no problem (ie do not say drink kale every day or spinach or any other green..try mixing your greens with fruits as they can be mixed and greens should be another food group per Victoria Boutenko, green smoothie expert, as they are far superior nutritionally to veggies and fruits and contain about 50% protein.
Well actualy Joe Cross's video has been shown in Australia. Maybe you can tell me what Joe Cross tried to sell you on the show apart from fresh fruit and veg and a juicer, he did name Breville but you can juice with any juicer and get results. If you want a really good juicer get a masticating juicer but it will cost 2 to 3 times as much. All Joe is saying is it worked for him and his friends. I'm willing to have a go, my juicer cost $60.00 on ebay and the veg is reasonably cheap locally.
@Deuterstomia No name calling! They address these topics on their shows because they know people are curious about them. They will however, stop very short of endorsing juicing, raw food or herbs because Big Pharma pays them and it would make their jobs irrelevant.
OK, thanks. Mine seem to be from anything that stressed my body too much, weather it be a person who's a pain in the bum, too much sun, too cold, too much lemon, being too hot for too long.
Oh all those lucky people got that juicer :( I I bet less than 1/2 will use and I'm in need! I bought a cheap on from SAMs and had to exchange it out already once cause its not made for everyday use. Plus I feel I'm losing juice in the wet pulp. All the produce is expensive I need to get the most out of it. Joe if you see this thanks for the inspiration I'm doing the best I can with what I got and I know it's a 100 times better than what I was doing to my body before! Thanks again
also then explain what you THINK is a healthy diet towards weightloss (of course working out ie walking, jogging ect ect) but what foods would you THINK would be better since you think this is all BS
excellent! he inspired me too. i have more energy too. and i do feel thinner but honestly, i was too scared to see what i weighed. i will go by size only
Virginia, 4 to 6 - 16 ounce to 20 ounce glasses of juice a day. Plus plenty of water. If you get hungry, just drink some more juice, it won't hurt you. Good luck and Juice On!!
I'm assuming your a vegetarian or vegan.. Whatever works for you is great but I'm not going to stop consuming dairy or meat. I plan on doing the veg and fruit fast for like 10 days but after that I want my chicken and milk back. Last time I checked calcium and protein actually help the body. I might be eating half a plate of veg but I want at least some meat or sweet potatoes or something to change the flavours up so I don't get bored of the healthy lifestyle.
@MrClarkkent2001 I'vebeen on a 30 & a 50 days juice fast..doctor got very mad when I did the 50 day 1 as Im diabetic.it was the only time my glucose readings were completely normal the whole time-felt great..lost weight..when I became a vegan nearly three years ago & then ate meat several times in December meat & cheese made me feel really horrible..sluggish and lethargic and when I checked my blood sugar it leaped every time to 375 to 450. Drs says no juice & yes to meat..wth?
no the design of our teeth and digestion system is that of a plant eater... wolfs have sharp teath to tear into animals and have short digestion systems so they can process RAW MEAT! humans have digestion systems that take about 24hours to digest there food which would make eating raw meat deadly... humans are designed to be plant based eaters craving salt and fat because they are rare in the normal habitat (such as nuts and berries)
Thanks for your documentary. It inspired me to lose weight during covid. I lost about 80 pounds during the year. I went from 244 to 165.
That is great!!! Congrats!
Thanks joe, you've saved my life. I was 316 LBS. I'm now 295 LBS. My goal is to get to 190 LBS by 2015. You really have to change your diet to loss weight and exercise. It's amazing, my wife is loving the change, and she has now joined me on my journey. All three of my boys are juicing as well.
That's awesome. Set your mind to it and it'll happen man!!!!!!
how u doing

Are you still alive? Because when somebody makes a statement like yours and doesn't follow up..it could mean they had a heart attack and died. Or that the juice diet completely failed for you..which is what I am guessing happened since MOST people who try the juice diet can't stick to it and gain all the weight back according to statistics.
how'd it go?
@@keithforbes2326 his "BMW" playlist was "updated today". So, someone is still using his account. Hopefully you are still alive, Kenneth!
Joe cross documentary was truly inspirational ;I lost 65 pounds

They didn't have much to say about natural healing.. but atleast they made an impact on all the audience with the free juicer and joe's film.
I wonder of this would help with my anxiety and panic attacks, ive heard changing ones diet helps substancially

Question: Why not the pulp of the veggies and fruit? I heard that that is where the nutrients are and the fiber.

No, he's not. Did you see the before and after pictures???
Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels so drink up and if you have to chase it with water all the better. Your future self will thank you.
Actually when I had my first glass of green juice I never thought I would end up saying it, but I love green juice … even without much fruit sweetener … it's great.
Very useful to know I always mix my greens with fruits as is but still never thought of it that way.

'The Doctors'... Are they even doctors? Was I wrong for expecting some medical analysis of juice fasting?
They are doctors in different fields.
Aaron Fawcett doctors aren't nutritionists.
Mother nature intended for us to drink it. Mother nature also sprouted this juicer right out of the ground. I think eating the vegetable would make less of a mess.
No you don't have to use recipes if you know what you're doing. You can put together any combination of fruits and veggies. The biggest problem would be taste, but any tasteless combination can be "rescued" by adding apples and/or carrots, or any thing with a sweeter flavor. Try it!!
The primary lesson here is to CONSUME MORE PLANT MATTER. Find a supermarket that has a great selection of organic produce, and start juicing 2 - 3 times a day, eat salads and maybe some chicken or wild caught fish. in a week or so, and it’s like someone turns the lights on. I could't believe how in tune with my senses I became. So yes, it does work, you just have to be committed to it. Like a smoker deciding to quit, it takes commitment. Stop the junk food, and eat from the garden.
she's a nice young lady. i'm happy she came up to the stage. stand up and be counted, honey!
There are some minor food combining rules (really that suggests fruits only with fruits and veggies only with veggies ... but some say they can mix no problem) but basically juice whatever you want and figure out what tastes best to you and what makes you feel best.
fiber makes you full and you get less nutrient density, by juicing you can drink more and get more dense micro-nutrients that will help you detox and heal
Buy a $99 nutribullet. Keeps the pulp in but makes it 100% liquid and it keeps your fiber.
I was told I have uticaria, and Dyshidrotic Eczema, and both have fairly subsided due in part to using ONLY soaps that are unsented, and the use of Clobetasol Propionate ointment (.05%). I am off of Zertec, which was perscribed for the uticaria. I don't have hives, and the only time I did have hives was when something brushed up against my skin... that subsided before juicing, and I atribute that to using unsented soap, including laundry and hand soap and unsented body soap.
Wheat may be a plant, but they way most of us get it is in a refined processed form called flour. White flour creates most of the bread we eat and the second you ingest that bread it becomes a sugar, which is not healthy. Complex carbs such as vegetables are much healthier and won't make you fat. As an example, the coca plant has many great properties and health benefits if we use it as tea, but if you refine that down you get cocaine. It's the refining properties that make it unhealthy.
just got my juicer today. trying this recipe. it looks really good. thanks for sharing it!
Because the juicer takes out the pulp, do you have to up your fiber supplements (Metamucil, etc) while on this diet? Thanks.
no one have to do the juice only!! but for those who do not like veggies is a great idea to get their nutrient. don't you think???
Mother Nature (4:10) did not intend for us to drink juice out of a machine. Mother nature intended us to eat sweet fruits and eat vegetables nuts and seeds. Juicing is fine, but I disagree with that statement.
Hey, where's my Breville Juicer lol
Joe was monitored by Doctor Joel Fuhrman M.D. a physician who specializes in preventing and reversing disease through nutritional and natural methods. My previous comments were reflective of the typical M.D. who has very little nutritional training. Dr. Fuhrman clearly is head & shoulders above them when it comes to nutritional knowledge. Anyway...sorry for the previous comment. Cheers!
Wow!! Everyone in the audience got a free juicer. That’s a major hurdle for a lot of people wanting to start a juice cleanse. The cheapest model of Breville juicer that was used in the movie costs $150!
And Charlotte Gerson...I like the fact that you and I, people like us...give respect to the progenitors in this approach to health.
To all of you who poo poo this- You just do not understand what the message is. I am 53 y/o, I have Uticaria, I am type 2, and this man echoes exactly how I feel. This is the first time I have heard someone say what I have been saying for years, I am addicted to carbohydrates. My Dr. just smiles when I say that… I am 6’2 and weigh 320 lbs. but I do a 13 mile bike ride in an hour and a half… I started the reboot today…
Someone asked " why not eat the pulp?" Because you are detoxing your body! The liquid will help it travel faster and your body can absorb more nutrients while its in liquid form faster! It has more fiber . I'm loving my results and I have 17 more days to go! He's helping ppl realize they don't need these diet pills and pay Weight Watchers any juice machine will do but a good one is like $150 and up. I bought one for $100 but it kept getting hot so I'm off to the store to get a better one!
Candy,
No use in arguing with brain dead trolls. They hate to see anyone succeeding and helping people. They will always try to bring people down to their lowly state filled with negativity & hate. They live their lives trying to prove everyone wrong & themselves right. They deserve our compassion & prayers because they are truly sad, tormented people.
THE IMPORTANT THING is this…. Your diet should be mostly vegetable matter… I felt absolutely awesome when I drank fruit juice in the AM and vegi juice 3-4 times iin the afternoon and ate a salad and fish / chicken for dinner. My skin, even my hair felt great… my hearing and my eyesight felt more attuned…. I FELT AWESOME!!! So YES it did work….
He had to use something, right?! So, he probably used the best juicer out there at the moment. He was juicing for two months straight. He never promoted buying this juicer on his documentary, but now his name is all over the product at Bed, Bath & Beyond. I already own a juicer, otherwise I probably would have bought the Breville, if I had the money.
6 Kale Leaves
1 Cucumber
4 Celery Stalks
2 Green Apples
1/2 Lemon
1 piece of ginger
For the purpose of doing the reboot, is there a difference between juicing using an extractor and blending/emulsifying using a Vitamix or Blendtec?
Dang! I wish I could have been there! It would have been great to thank Joe for doing F,S & ND, it changed my...no saved my life!! Oh, and I would have loved to get a decent (free) juicer too...
So proud of you Joe!!! xoxoxo
what ive learned is leafy greens aren't considered veggies there considered weeds so they juice ok w fruits
without Joe Cross Phil Staples would have neer been the star!!!! This documentary made me cry, esp the end when Phil was wearing the shirt!!!!!!!!!!!
This is what I have learned… Changing your lifestyle this drastically causes your body to change - obviously- Joe says the 80 pounds he lost on the 60 day fast was 30% muscle…. THIS will change your metabolism- you will have less muscle to burn fat…. I still believe that protein is needed, and some sort of exercise to try to maintain the muscle. And in order for it to work you MUST not go back to the way you ate before. PERIOD. Or you will put more pounds on than you lost.
Has it helped your hives though? I tried just juicing a few times, but only made it a day or two and the ones with fruit tend to flare me up more. So I've been eating as much veggies as possible, a little meat, some fruit for about 3 weeks. Mine have been better, but I'm still getting them every day. So wanted to know how it's been effecting yours. His took I think 5 months to calm down from what I read. He told me it was 6 months til he was off of meds for them (I asked him on his FB).
@DCRugger320 - I agree with u! I've been taking my maintenance drug for hypertension for over ten years but I am not cured. When I started to become a vegetarian, I am healed. Praise God for the fruits and veggies!
@DCRugger320 You are right, but we have to give them credit to stand there with Joe and endorse his movie and the benefits of this type of life style!
Not trying to sound rude or anything but I hardly think many cows are being tortured or abused. Many farms make the effort to give animals a quick and painless death, efforts are being made to stop animal abuse anyway. I get most of my calories from carbs and protein, if I suddenly went on an 100% veggie fast my body would go into starvation mode cause I'm not getting enough calories. I lift weights, I need large amounts of protein for muscle repair, I don't think veggies would provide enough.
Thanks Joe. I just started yesterday and already lost 2 lbs, but I was only drinking five 8 ounce glasses. Yikes. Now I know I can drink a little bit more. Thanks again.
Hello virgina
the happiest day of my life is when i was on a thirty eight day juice fast.seems i couldn't keep my mouth from smiling. i believe that every cell in my body was rejoicing with new life constantly coming into it. after i came off the fast a few day later i tried drinking a coke and threw up. my body was rejecting all impure invaisions. can't beat the jucie diet for a period of time.in fact this is my tenth day of a juice fast.the last time i fasted on juice only was twenty years ago.
Day 17 and you've lost 27lbs? Wow, congratulations!!! And thanks for the fiber info. :-)
Know what you mean! Did it for about 2-3 weeks and it did wonders, my thinking got a lot clearer, although I had headaches, mild ones, but the doozie was - I started to smell everything as they were. It was not pleasant at all. You smelled what people were eating, and if by chance they were eating Chinese food - you could smell the spices on the food and if the meat was rotten or not. In many cases the meat was rotten and the spices was there to cover the smell of the rotted meat but I could clearly smell both while the person would be chomping away without a care in the world. I would break out in a cold sweat and have to move away, because it smelled awful. I was also able tolerate extremely cold weather.
Yes because mother nature intended us to use juicers and blenders.
@bluemystic7502 Medical doctors are experts in healthcare. They take nearly all the courses nutritionists do, and then some. My close friend is a nutritionist, and I'm currently going through medical school. There's a huge difference, but good doctors will know a LOT about nutrition and how to eat a diet specific to you.
Hey did u exercise during your juice fast? I did a month juice fast and only lost 25lbs. I walked on my treadmill but it varied from week to week, day to day. Great job on your weight loss! Congrats! It seemed like on the last week my body plateaued and I only lost 2-3lbs that week.
How many are you supposed to have a day?
@goldeneye007662
Frankly, you don't know what you're talking about. In most medical schools, would-be doctors receive little to no specific nutritional training. In fact, in 2004 the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition conducted a survey of all 126 U.S. medical schools. Of the 106 who responded, they found that at 17 of them, students were receiving less than 10 hours of nutritional training and in more than half of them they were getting no more than 20 hours. That's it -- in FOUR years.
@GIRLINA101 @GIRLINA101 yes there is..you want to use a juicer -vitamixes are great for green smoothies, soups etc but not good for juice fasting as they contain the pulp.also some think it the vitamix oxidizes the juice..
If one uses even nonorganic produce but does not consume the pulp it is as organic as the juices are locked safe inside the poison laden
@dman71215 the negative symptoms were a healing crisis from detoxifying..sometimes people get worst before they get better but keep it up and you do get better
When I became a vegan, and started eating 50% raw, exercising daily and eating whole food as well as doing a long juice fast, there was a lifting like a fog and I could think clearer
oh and when juice fasting orgasms are super intense too
The juicer is irrelevant.
Just use whatever juicer you can afford.
I found my at Goodwill for $9.99 and I lost multiple inches after only 9 days. I had also been reducing my calorie intake for almost a month, but nothing terribly drastic. I was still eating the occasional donut and cheezeburger.
The only people who should be making money off this phenom are your local organic farmers. Period.
I wish I could take home a free Breville juicer----jealous!! Started juicing this week though, bought a Champion from a friend of a friend.
In the documentary you see video footage of him with his old body, in trunks. So yeah, it was what he looked like, no photoshop.
About "Fat Sick and Nearly Dead" and "Fork Over Knives" - I'm from the England and I know we can watch these films on the net but how can I own a version that is compatible to the UK?
HIS DVD IS THE MOST INSPIRING WEIGHT LOSS DVD IVE EVER SEEN ITS MAKING ME CHANGE MY LIFE AND I FEEL SO GREAT I TURNED DOWN PIZZA,POP TARTS, CHILI DOGS THIS WEEKEND AND I LOVE THOSE THINGS IM DOWN 10 POUNDS AND STILL CRUZING, JUST TREAT FAST FOOD LIKE POISON
i weighed 242-243 and in bout 2 weeks im down 10 pounds and loosing more . its not that bad, i have more eneregy and my thinking has become more positive and i feel so much beeter. and to be honest when you go number 2, alot more comes out :)
cont fibers and repel the pesticides as oil to water according to juice father doctor walker who lived to be age 97 on juices and raw foods--when fiber is in it or food is taken around that time most of the vital elements go to digestion but if one just consumes the juice it goes to healing and repair. Drink the juice within 20 minutes lest the ezymes etc dissipate make fresh each time do not hold in fridge (but with green smoothies you can hold 2/3 days) if fasting chew the juice.
cont If taking greens in your juice alternate the kind of greens you use every few days lest you get sick cause of chemicals in the plants but if alternated no problem (ie do not say drink kale every day or spinach or any other green..try mixing your greens with fruits as they can be mixed and greens should be another food group per Victoria Boutenko, green smoothie expert, as they are far superior nutritionally to veggies and fruits and contain about 50% protein.
Well actualy Joe Cross's video has been shown in Australia.
Maybe you can tell me what Joe Cross tried to sell you on the show apart from fresh fruit and veg and a juicer, he did name Breville but you can juice with any juicer and get results.
If you want a really good juicer get a masticating juicer but it will cost 2 to 3 times as much.
All Joe is saying is it worked for him and his friends.
I'm willing to have a go, my juicer cost $60.00 on ebay and the veg is reasonably cheap locally.
And how have things gone so far?
@Deuterstomia No name calling! They address these topics on their shows because they know people are curious about them. They will however, stop very short of endorsing juicing, raw food or herbs because Big Pharma pays them and it would make their jobs irrelevant.
OK, thanks. Mine seem to be from anything that stressed my body too much, weather it be a person who's a pain in the bum, too much sun, too cold, too much lemon, being too hot for too long.
does anyone know the recipe for the juice in this show? i know beets, carrots, apples, ginger, lemon but how much of each?
Oh all those lucky people got that juicer :( I I bet less than 1/2 will use and I'm in need! I bought a cheap on from SAMs and had to exchange it out already once cause its not made for everyday use. Plus I feel I'm losing juice in the wet pulp. All the produce is expensive I need to get the most out of it. Joe if you see this thanks for the inspiration I'm doing the best I can with what I got and I know it's a 100 times better than what I was doing to my body before! Thanks again
also then explain what you THINK is a healthy diet towards weightloss (of course working out ie walking, jogging ect ect) but what foods would you THINK would be better since you think this is all BS
excellent! he inspired me too. i have more energy too. and i do feel thinner but honestly, i was too scared to see what i weighed. i will go by size only
Virginia, 4 to 6 - 16 ounce to 20 ounce glasses of juice a day. Plus plenty of water. If you get hungry, just drink some more juice, it won't hurt you. Good luck and Juice On!!
Love YOU Joe Cross
I'm assuming your a vegetarian or vegan.. Whatever works for you is great but I'm not going to stop consuming dairy or meat. I plan on doing the veg and fruit fast for like 10 days but after that I want my chicken and milk back. Last time I checked calcium and protein actually help the body. I might be eating half a plate of veg but I want at least some meat or sweet potatoes or something to change the flavours up so I don't get bored of the healthy lifestyle.
Has anyone had success with kidney disease?
@MrClarkkent2001 I'vebeen on a 30 & a 50 days juice fast..doctor got very mad when I did the 50 day 1 as Im diabetic.it was the only time my glucose readings were completely normal the whole time-felt great..lost weight..when I became a vegan nearly three years ago & then ate meat several times in December meat & cheese made me feel really horrible..sluggish and lethargic and when I checked my blood sugar it leaped every time to 375 to 450. Drs says no juice & yes to meat..wth?
no the design of our teeth and digestion system is that of a plant eater... wolfs have sharp teath to tear into animals and have short digestion systems so they can process RAW MEAT! humans have digestion systems that take about 24hours to digest there food which would make eating raw meat deadly... humans are designed to be plant based eaters craving salt and fat because they are rare in the normal habitat (such as nuts and berries)
"Chronic urticaria" just means a chronic case of hives. Not all obese people have hives and vice versa...
@galimir She seemed a bit too comfortable on TV. She's probably a TV crew member.
