Reboot (Juicing) Diet..and now Lifestyle
August 8, 2013 - Its been 1 year update.
I have been very inconsistent about staying on strictly juice this summer. My weight has been hovering around 240-250 lbs. My shorts/pants size is still holding steady at 36in waist. I plan on juicing forever however my updates on this post will be less frequent.

Juicing Lifestyle - Day 189 - Update
Does the "food" you eat make you tired a few minutes after you eat it?
Do you down coffee/caffeine like there is no tomorrow?
Do you think maybe that your caffeine addiction could be trying to make up for a bad diet?
Here's an idea: Maybe it's the "food" you eat.
This is day 189 of my Juicing Lifestyle. I am down 8 inches (46in to a 38in waist) and I have lost 50.4 lbs (286.8 lbs down to 236.4 lbs). I continue to lose inches even though the scale only reads a 50 lb loss (which it also said on day 101). I continue to feel great and my energy level has never been higher. I was only hungry for the first 13 days and a lot of that was detox from caffeine and processed food. I don't want to use the word diet anymore because that implies something that is temporary.
I make juice once and week. It costs me $27/week (or $1.29 per meal) for all of my juice "meals." I store my juice in nine 28oz Blender Bottles that are air tight. I drink one 28oz bottle of juice a day (via 8-10 small servings per day) and I am never hungry. I don't always feel "full" but I am never hungry. There is a huge difference between being hungry and your stomach feeling empty. You will start to see vegetables and fruit as very desirable and inviting. And eventually just the smell of processed food will begin to make gag. Now you will still have what I call "mental cravings" for food you know you shouldn't eat. For me that is pizza and Doritos. But not being hungry makes overcoming those cravings that much easier. I also try to schedule what I call "Fat For A Day" or #FFAD where you can eat what you like, but only for that day. Because if you keep eating that way you will be Fat For A Week or worse a Year. Really plan and look forward to these days, but realize that you will feel different, especially your energy level. Another thing to note when you are transitioning between solid food back on to juice you may have a 10-14 hour "blue day" where you will feel very down and a little depressed this has happened multiple times to me if I was on solid food for a few days for a holiday as an example it will pass after a single day.
Also remember that if you cheat for one day that does not mean that you should give up. Remember this is a Lifestyle not a Diet.

=========================================================
I am starting my Juicing Diet for 60 days starting on August 8, 2012. I am combining this diet with my 2-3 session walking exercises that I am already doing. No processed junk foods, white flours, sugar/desserts, fried food, fast food, processed meats, alcohol, or caffeine.
Info on this diet, as well as, the movie are available for free here: Reboot Diet
I would recommend people watch the films in this order:
Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead (Netflix) (to know that juicing works)
Food, Inc. (to understand why our food is so bad --spoiler: lobbying, subsidies)
Forks Over Knives (Netflix) (some science behind our terrible western diets)
Food Matters (Netflix) (learn about super-foods and vitamins)
Hungry For Change (Netflix) (learn about the addictiveness of processed foods and the broken nature of "dieting")
My goal is to come out of these 60 days a new person physically and mentally. And to lose and keep off 100lbs.
And to start practicing good eating habits henceforth.
Honestly I have never been "excited" for a diet in my life, (who in their right mind would be) but this time it is going to be different.
Food is America's most dangerous legal drug.

Cost of Juicing: (21 meals or 1 week)
non-organic: $25-$30/week or $1.19-$1.43/meal via Hy-Vee
organic: $42-$52/week or $2.00-$2.48/meal via Whole Foods
I have 60 + 21 to complete my 60 day total of just juice.
