Day 3

Today or tomorrow we are going to add one meal of beans, corn and salsa. We are still going to to do 2 juices a day, but I think in the movie they do 4.  So I am going to look at it again.  Not that we're hungry or anything, but I just wanted to see what they do and why.

Day 2

I am so excited about today. Steve and I both went to bed feeling full, he did have half a serving later in the evening, which is just fine.  I did wake up in the middle of the night with a headache, but I just downed some water and it went away.
So yesterday:
The dinner juice was so good, much better without the ginger.  It did have a little bit of a grass clipping flavor, but all and all it was pretty yummy.

I went to the store last night and bought:
celery, grapefruit, apples, pineapple, 4 kiwi: $8

I still have a huge container of spinach and about half a bag of carrots left.
I am making about 1 gallon of juice for the day, 2 different flavors.

Today's Recipe:
(I am only doing one flavor today)
6 fistful of spinach
6 carrots
1 pineapple
1grapefruit
2 kiwi
6 celery stalks
2 apples( if I need more juice)

Will post more after taste and end of day feelings.
Steve woke up 3 lbs lighter, I am not going to weigh myself until tomorrow( I'm so afraid I'll be disappointed)
Tasted great.

What I've learned: Grapefruit is amazing for juicing!! It adds suck a great taste to the spinach.
Feeling: Full, but meg has headaches. We are both enjoying doing this and not craving any other foods.

Day 1

So steve and I cannot give up coffee. They recommend no coffee, yep we modified it already.  Steve actually just started drinking coffee within the last two weeks, so that's out.

I had my coffee group over this morning(hence the reason I cannot give it up).  People brought apple fritters, muffins and donuts.  I had one apple fritter and one muffin. Great start, huh?
Today: I juiced both lunch and dinner before cleaning the juicer. I put each in a pitcher in the fridge.
16 oz servings each: about $25 ( I had extra from lunch that I added to dinner, plus my berries I had frozen from earlier. I will get more specific with price the more I do it. Plus, I still have lots of spinach and carrots for tomorrow)

Lunch: (juiced)
2 handfuls of spinach
12 Kale leaves
2 apples
1 peach
4 carrots
8 celery stalks
1 cucumber
1 whole ginger root
2 lemons

What I learned:
a whole ginger root? whoops...how about just a few small slices.  This was the most awful juice ever.
If I had used less ginger it would've been better, at least tolerable.

Dinner:
Juice:
3 handfuls of spinach
1 orange
1 pineapple
1 apple
1 peach
8 carrots
4 celery stalks
1 half lemon

Blend:
in blender juice plus:
1 cup blueberries
1 cup strawberries


Haven't tasted dinner yet, but after lunch:
I am not hungry at all, but I feel nauseous.  Drinking lots of lemon water.

The plan

So, Steve and I watched "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" and we are going to do a juice "Reboot".
The plan:
5 days juicing fruits and vegetables
5 days juicing, blending and eating fruits and vegetables (we're going to add nuts and beans)
5 days juicing fruits and vegetables
