Juice Fast

So a couple months ago my daughter, Catt, recommended a documentary to me. It had the unlikely name of "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead." Australian, Joe Cross, suffered from an auto-immune disease as well as obesity. He decided to help his body to heal itself by drinking only fresh made juice for 60 days. To make the movie more interesting, he juiced his way across the United States, stopping in various towns and visiting with people about their diets and health. I loved the movie and have watched it more than once. It made sense to me. I am currently quite overweight and have a few health problems. My feet, knees and hips are suffering, due to the extra weight they are being forced to carry around. I have low energy levels, headaches and stomach issues. I also happen to dislike fruits and vegetables. By drinking juices I will be getting a huge amount of fruits and vegetables into my system. I will also be detoxing since I will not be putting sugar, fat, caffeine, preservatives or other yucky things into my system. Joe Cross advises that the first few days of the fast are the worst. I can expect to experience headaches, nausea, grumpiness and tiredness. I am feeling cautiously optimistic that I will be able to stick to it. I worry most about missing out on comfort food andthe socialization that comes with eating with people. Hopefully I will get through the first few days and be able to stick to it for the long haul.
