The best Mother’s Day gift ever! Thanks to my family, we are starting to juice around my house now. I – like many people have watched Joe Cross’s documentary – Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead about 6 times on HULU (it’s free too!)
It’s a movie about an Australian man, Joe Cross who came to America to juice for 60 days. In the process, he met people along the way, and lost 90 pounds.
Now I’m not planning on doing that so much as just add fruits and veggies in liquid form to my daily diet. Its day 4 and so far so good! Even if its a pain to clean it afterwards, I’m still going to do it. So what have I made so far?
Spinach, carrot, pear, apple, orange, cucumber juice
Spinach, grapefruit, apple, orange, carrot juice
Grapes, pear, lime, apple, cucumber juice
My kids are even requesting their own different combos!
I started searching recipes. I know there are tons of different ones out there and came across this one. Shelley and Helen – you would like this site, It’s called Running on Juice. He lost 60 pounds while running and adding juice to his routine.
Another person I look up to – we are “friends” on Facebook is Corinne Trang. I would describe her as a holistic person, very down to earth and into taking care of her body. She doesn’t look at food as a diet, but eating foods that nourish her and make her feel good.
And, another popular juicer is Kristina from Spabettie. She has a ton of great juicing recipes.
So, I’m excited about my juicer, and I plan for it not to become another appliance stored in the basement because it’s not used!
Do you juice? And if so what’s your favorite combo of ingredients?
My twin sister Biz and I have been inspiring each other this week – I walked home from work instead of jumping on the bus. It helped that I was talking to her the whole time – so it goes by fast, but I was glad that I did!
And my friend Jacky and Mara are also trying to lose weight doing low carb and being more in tune to what they are eating – which I think is great!
