Sometime in January of this year a friend recommended that I watch a little documentary entitled "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead". Wow! What an eye opener! The basis of this documentary is about a man named Joe, who was suffering from an autoimmune disease and basically cured himself by juicing. I highly recommend watching it. You can also learn more at his website fatsickandnearlydead.com The juicing fascinated me.
Although I wasn't sure if I could just survive off of veggie juices. Dr. Brian had me drinking approximately 15-25 oz of carrot/veggie juice a day and I really enjoyed it.
I had come up with my own concoction but was afraid to branch out and try new things.
After I watched the documentary I asked Mike to watch it. It really struck him. He decided that if this guy Joe could do it, so could he. Mike and I together went on a juice fast. Mike's goal was 60 days. Mine was 10 days. I made it 7! During that week I lost about 12 pounds. Mike did it for an incredible 20 days and lost about 40 pounds!!!
During this time of juicing we solidified our commitment to being more active. Since it was winter, activities consisted of snowshoeing and skiing. Both are great winter workouts.
