Watch “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead”... it’s on YouTube and elsewhere. I’ve done that juicing for years, about every 3 months, for 5 days. The guy in the documentary did it for 30 days i believe and the results are amazing! I slighty modified his recipe, but it includes - Kale, apples, pears, celery, cucumbers, ginger and lemon. First time and for the first couple days you feel like crap, then you settle out and feel great! It does flush the junk out of your body, literally. Alot of antioxidants, minerals and vitamins.
Did bloodwork before and after my initial couple of juicing cycles, over a 6 month period and I have to say, my cholesterol went down (240 to 180), blood pressure back to normal, triglycerides down and liver enzymes normalized (had elevated ALT/AST - fatty liver). Also help with that awful brain fog. It’s not the end all be all, but it wasn’t difficult and it worked for me. Eating a clean paleo type diet, no sugar or foods with additives, just clean meats, veggies and fruit. Still have the occasional fast-food in a pinch, but it’s rarer than it used to be.
Just out of curiosity, I juiced for four days straight. Pretty much the same items that you listed.
Went from 207 to 205 pounds and had a severe craving for rice with salmon afterwards.
Working 12-hour shifts didn’t help. Had to get the juicing items every day, and spend time making it before work -losing sleep in the process.
But I was surprised how yummy cucumber juice was.
