So how much weight did you put on?

[Azonic]

Who said anything about a juice only diet? I supplement my daily meals with one glass of juice. I am also choosing to eat healthier. Thats whats caused my weight loss.

 

I dont understand why you label Azonic an idiot for believing in something and following it. Also, are you seriously going to try and argue that juicing a huge amount af fruits and veggies is not a good thing???

 

I replace my lunch every day with juice.

 

It fills me, gives me energy. And because i am on the road a lot it keeps me out of take aways.

 

Green juice in particular is fantastic for detoxing your body and pumping it full of micro nutrients.

 

Try it.

 

Dude, its useless. Clearly a bunch of nutritional know-it-alls. I'm not going to waste my time further on this thread. I'm losing weight (which isn't the goal as you say!), and I'm feeling great. End of story! If they want to go have their moderatelly sized burger, and diet coke, FINE! That's not the choice I'm making right now, I've made my choice.

Ag Crispy, you again. You are a newbie for all I'm concerned, so please keep your confused opinions to yourself.

 

GOG, I'm not a new cyclist by any stretch. I've been around the block a few times. Quite possibly I've been cycling longer than you so I know a bit about health and well being.

 

Unless you and I missed it, I didn't say I am JUST drinking the juice. I am replacing half 1-2 meals per day with it, and still having 1-2 "proper" meals. There is allot more to that movie than just the movie alone. Only an idiot would tackle something on the advice of one documentary. There are PLENTY forums with people discussing the pro's and con's of Juicing, and I have read quite a few. Juicing is not something you do permanently, its just something you do to flush the body out once in a while. If you saw the movie you'd recall the one lady saying "I'm not going for skinny, I'm going for healthy". Losing weight is not the goal, its just something that come from replacing that Milo with an fresh apple juice.

 

I am not trying to change your mind Azonic, often people follow fad diets and detox regimes often for the wrong reasons and these can do more harm than good, they think because they are suffering headaches and difficulty sleeping they must be doing something right, but medical science often differs on that mileage.

 

Anyway, all I am suggesting is that in my opinion there is no need to compromise your health for weight loss which in such a short time is unlikely to be fat, but more than likely fluid and some lean muscle mass, to burn fat requires a longer time frame unfortunately.

I am also very sceptical of so called "detox's" unless its medically advised, controlled and monitored. I have never seen any concrete documented and approved medical evidence that proves a juice or any other detox its necessary in otherwise healthy humans, your liver is a marvelous organ and do's all this without any help from us.

 

The human brain is also programmed to chew, this is an undeniable fact and the reason people who undergo jaw fixing after surgery suffer incredibly, its also a reason why liquid diets are never long lasting or can ever be continued for years, human instinct is to chew food, and no-one as far as I know has ever changed that.

 

Nevertheless bud, I had no ulterior intentions, I was just voicing an opinion, your mileage can differ, its what makes us unique, not so.?

[Azonic]

Well GOG whichever way it flies, I'm still giving my body all the nutrients it needs, and probably MORE than it needs. My lean muscles actually look pretty promising so I doubt I'm eating myself

 

I know weight loss isn't a short term thing, and I'm not breaking my back to loose weight. I'm well within my BMI range, actually on the low side.

 

I'm feeling great so it's all good.

I also trained flat out this holiday and still picked up 0.4kg. At least its better than the 3kg's I picked up last year.

hate the use of BMI for "healthy" measures especially in men. 2c

if i followed that, when i was at my fittest, healthiest and strongest my BMI would have been too high.

 

anyway, this topic is off topic.

 

they asked how much you put on not which fad diet everyone is trying

Alll about choices. Your choice is the juice . All good ( unless you make me drink the stuff in the photo). All depends what you trying to achieve. I'm early 40s and ride and swim for fun, I'm not overweight but def not a racing snake. No chance I can keep up with the lighties in a bike race , so I ride for fun and race my mates of the same age. Best thing after a ride on the weekend is a cold beer and a braai, to me that's the balance I'm after. If juicing makes you feel like you want to, go for it.

[twiga]

+5 kg so far, but.... I still have a week holiday left

[RooiWillie]

+4 kilos and freakin athletes foot.... Faaaaaaaak!

[Swim.Bike.Run]

Picked up a kilo, but then again I lost 4 due to my recent operation.

I'm looking to pick up another kilo.

And luckily it's not fat I picked up, measured my body fat at 8% this morning.

So just need to pick up the fitness and then I'm ready to go.

Made your "green juice" yesterday and replaced supper with a glass of this "groentegedoente" it wasn't to bad.

I'll have my main meal at lunch time and have the "groentegedoente" for supper.

I'll try it for one week and see what happens (as long as I don't turn into a rabbit or something, its worth trying."
