Because of juicing, my body decided to give me a reprieve and shed some of the fat stored due to menopause and aging. These photos are after a week of juicing, but I did eat solid foods also. I drank a 24oz green drink twice daily, between drinks I ate an 8oz cup of yogurt. I had a normal dinner, I cooked things like Lasagna one night, Salmon, Tilapia, etc. I didn't eat any chicken or turkey and I only ate fish. I even made tuna sandwiches one night because it was too hot to cook.
I still had to cook for my husband so a total juice fast wasn't in the cards for me. I know so many people in the Juicing For Dummies Facebook Group do extreme juicing for days on end, but I didn't feel I had major fat to lose so I just decided to do half day juicing instead. In one week ( Sat to Sat) I lost 4.5lbs. I'm very proud of my body for giving me a break and shedding some belly fat. I didn't take full body photos but I did notice some fat loss around my thigh areas as well.
I have a post if you're curious to see what I put in my juice HERE. In addition to the fruit and green veggies, I'm also adding Kale, Spinach and Kiwi. I now juice two separate containers. I juice all the yellow fruits (oranges/pineapples/mangos) by themselves, then I juice the green veggies (kale/spinach/kiwi/green apples/cucumbers/celery) and store then in air tight mason jars. I'm not sure what my goal is, I just want to feel healthy, lean and toned. I will do another comparison in Feb, just to see where i'm at. I do believe that my weight will stabilize at some point and i'm curious to see what that weight/size will be..... stay tuned!
