So my husband and I started juicing today. We’ve been planning this for a while now. We both want to get healthy and lose weight. My first ‘juice’ today consisted of green apples, oranges, and spinach. It wasn’t horrible, but it definitely wasn’t good. I had to chug it to get it down. I’m also supposed to drink a lot of water, somewhere around 6 or 8 bottles of water a day. The water will help keep me full.
I went shopping yesterday to get all of the ingredients needed for juicing. I got spinach, romaine lettuce, oranges, apples, pineapple, cantaloupe, honeydew, lemons, carrots, bananas, strawberries, kale, and grapes. I don’t normally eat fruits and vegetables, and when I do eat them, it’s in very small amounts. I think this will be very good for my physical health. I also hope the weight loss will help with the depression.
WOW! Good for you! I am a big 12 year old and totally dislike fruits and veggies so I am very impressed!

It’s harder than I thought, already. It’s not the hunger that’s the problem, it’s actually drinking the juices. Ugh!! Gross. But, it’s only temporary. That’s what’s getting me through this. Thanks for the support!

As a trained dietician and someone who worked in wellness, may I please suggest you don’t try drastic measures? There is amazing help with just the right diet. Customised for you. Good healthy life is about good choices being maintained… not drastic measures that can’t be sustained. Just a suggestion after years is seeing people struggle… and struggling myself
