There are several companies who offer juicing or cleansing. I chose "The Real Juice" and think they were the best.
Before juicing I thought:
1) My insides would fall out and I would be in the bathroom all day.
2) The juices would taste awful.
3) I wouldn't make it past the first day because I would be starving.
4) It wouldn't have lasting results.
5) It was for freaky health nuts and people obsessed with their weight!
Bottom line I was SCARED to try it. But, I did and I am so glad. Here's the real truth:
1) My insides DID NOT fall out and I WAS NOT in the bathroom all day. By doing the three days of curbing my diet beforehand ( I did all fruits and veggies, they provided a 3 day step down diet just as good!) this allowed my body to transition nicely.
2) The juices taste amazing. They alternate sweet and savory and even have one for dessert!
3) The first day of my three day diet before was hard. I stuck with it. The first day of juicing takes commitment too. So does the first day at the gym. You push through and when you make it to the other side you are thrilled!! I was not starving AT ALL. There are 6 juices a day and I could barely get through them all!
4) Lasting results? Not only did I lose 8 pounds, I got BACK IN CONTROL OF MYSELF. I fit in my pants. I don't feel tired. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER. This has changed the way I look at food! More on that later!
5) Juicing is for everyone. You can use a juice as a meal replacement or do a 3 or 5 day cleanse. The key is cutting back on things before you start to prep your body and being on a reduced diet after. I am back on all fruits and veggies with a little protein. Yes I miss my carbs, but I feel THIN so WHO CARES!
Give it a try!

I'm SO interested in juicing lately and I keep wanting to buy a juicer but they are so pricey and take up a lot of counter top real estate! I will definitely check these out! Thanks Mama! :)
Thanks for clearing things up. Its always assumed a juice cleanse will have you on the toilet all day.
I am so glad this went well! I could use a kick start to losing a couple of pounds too. These sound really good. A lot of the reason I skip my juicing is out of pure laziness to wash the veggies and ocean the juicer. I think I'd be more disciplined this way:) Congrats!

Did you do the 3 or 5-day cleanse??
I am drinking chia juices and love them! I couldn't do an official juice cleanse though. I like to crunch food!
Interested to hear your thoughts...my question is, have you gained the weight back since eating solid foods again?
Thanks for stopping by my blog--I always love to find new reads and have new readers!
Thanks for this. My girlfriend swears by these to get things rolling. Maybe I need to try it so I can at least get myself back into my fat pants(not a nice term I know). Still wearing maternity jeans at 3 months post baby and feelin like I need something like this to make things better.
