Been doing a juice detox for 17 days and lost 28 pounds

28 lbs in 17 days is fine, but to lose weight i'm more a fan of eating less of the foods that made me fat in the first place.

that vegetable juice !! tastes like crap.

So what kind of macronutrient breakdown would you suggest?

can i watch this video online Fat, sick and nearly dead?

I'm not doing much lifting because I'm getting about 24 injections in my head, neck and back right now and pretty much any upperbody lifting will shred the cartilage or whatever these injections are creating.

As of today, I'm 5'11" 220 pounds. I was at one point 320 pounds. I'm on the 18th day of juicing now and have lost 29 pounds. Today is a definite milestone for me because I hit 100 pounds lost.

Most are overlooking this.......... [pic]

I'm down 102 now though. :dancingcool: Not sur if you were trying to clown with that response or congratulate, but if it's the former, !! happens.

I think he was pointing out that its easier for "larger" people to do crash diets and be successful. You were 320 and eating/drinking less than 2000 calories per day. Thats like a 2000 calorie deficit. Thats 4-6lbs of mass(fat and muscle) lost a week and probably another 4lbs of water weight per week too. So losing 20 lbs in 2 weeks is about right....

BUT with that said it's still awesome that you found something that could help you get your weight down, no matter what anyone says. The only thing is that now that you are getting lighter, you are going to have to adjust more frequently to make sure you maintain muscle mass while losing fat. I mean nobody wants to be that skinny fat guy. lol.

Got ya. Well, the first 71 pounds I lost by exercising and adjusting my diet. These last 31 pounds I lost juicing. I was about 250 when I started this. I'm eating for the first time today because I want to see what happens.

When i first read that i though wtf he never mentioned he was roiding...lol...

Do you have before and after pics? Thats a lot of weight to lose in a short period of time.

The amount of weight he lost is fine. He's not starving himself and is getting all he needs from the juice

of u feel good keep at it but yes incorp more stuff daily into it like a salad an egg a piece of cheese. other then that its not something u can stay on forever u feel me?

So did you stop drinking and smoking? If so, for how long and do you still crave tobacco and alcohol?

I didnt quote it but some idiot said that your not getting any fiber and losing water weight....I think he must be borderline retarted to think you can lose water weight while living on a water/juice diet...and no fiber? its all vegetables...

People these days have no concept of a healthy diet, they just follow "the food pyramid"...

People call juicers, or vegetarians or vegans extreme, and picture them as sickly and unhealthy...and any weight loss must be unnatural....
Want to see a body you can get from vegetables, sprouts, roots, nuts and fruits?

I would never recommend dairy to someone who has been successfully losing weight...dairy, refined sugar and processed foods/oils should always be avoided.

I agree with you on the fiber part. Juicing will give you more than enough fiber throughout the day.

But I can't agree with you on the losing water weight. You lose mostly water weight initially when you start dieting, and you also shed water weight more consistently when you drink more water. So by only drinking juice with a lot of veggies, which contain a lot of water, you probably end up drinking way more water than you would normally. I upped my water intake to about 1 gallon and a half and i can really tell the difference in how much water i'm retaining compared to days i don't get to drink that much.

Also why avoid dairy?

And Mac Danzig?? Really?? He's about average built imo. [pic]
