Join the Reboot, people! I juiced fruits and vegetables for 60 days and lost 55 lbs. Just finished a week of fruits and vegetables and am now eating chicken or turkey. I cook with fresh ingredients and stay away from breads and heavy white starches.
So far, the weight has stayed off and my family is eating as healthy as ever. After my doc appt. and lab work next week I hope to start another 60 day Reboot. Obesity is most often a choice just as eating healthy is a choice.
Just dropped 15 lbs. I put on since turning 40 15 years ago. Now back to pre age 40 weight which is basically high school college weight.
Along the way I noticed something. Losing weight was hard *until* I neared my (self-set) ideal weight.
When I reached that weight I noticed that losing any more weight wasn’t hard anymore. It was like some kind of switch got flipped.
Just like they say “the rich get richer” I’m starting to think that “the fat get fatter”. The fatter you get the more you crave those unhealthy foods in unhealthy quantities. And when the weight comes off you don’t.
If this is true then this should help devise optimal weight loss strategies and also explain why we’re in an “epidemic” - basically an unstable equilibrium like we see in other fields.
So that’s all you had was the juice, all day long? I drink my vegetable juice every day, but I haven’t lost any weight, I suppose because I still have been eating dinner. I’m starting to realize, though, that my addiction to carbos is just that - an addiction. Every night I have such brave hopes not to carbo load, and then I lay down for 45 minutes and pop up out of bed and head for the fridge, all my plans out the window in the early sleep state.
