Juicing LIFE!

Some time ago...I stumbled upon a documentary on netflix called Fat Sick and Nearly Dead. That one documentary has changed my life (hopefully forever) I think almost everyone knows we shouldn't chow down on Fast Food and slurp down Cokes every single day of our lives. Yet a lot of us still do it knowing its really bad for us. Watching this documentary really opened my eyes to what I eat and how little exercise I was getting. So last Christmas I asked Santa for a Juicer and sure enough he delivered. So back in December I started juicing along with my meals I was eating I also focused on eating a cleaner more healthy diet staying away from Pop fast food and anything that isn't natural! Ever since December I have been meaning to go on a juice cleanse for a week I tried a few times and failed. This past week I was finally successful (almost) For the past week Cucumber, Apple, Celery, Kale, Spinach, Oranges, Strawberries, Grapes, Ginger, Banana, Kiwi, Carrots, Peppers, and some other fruits and veggies were my best friends and tons and tons of water also. I never thought I could make it a week without eating anything just juicing and drinking water (sidenote i only made it 6 and half days last night was my sisters boyfriends birthday and tradition is to make him Chicken and Mac N Cheese they were not digging the Mac N Cheese I made so I had to give it a taste test to perfect it then ended up eating the Baked Chicken and Mac N Cheese and tons of salad for dinner 6 and half days is pretty amazing. Its pretty crazy a few days into it I really wasn't hungry much at all between juicing 3 to 4 times a day a cup of chicken broth and drinking tons of water I felt pretty full everyday. there were issues with feeling light headed and a little weak from time too time. Over all It felt amazing to be able to control my eating habits like that and it proved to me a lot of times when I eat its out of boredom and not because I am hungry. Healthier eating habits were definitely formed during this Juicing fast. I will do it again someday and Ill make it the full 7 days maybe even 10 days next time If you want to make a change in your life please go watch Fat Sick and Nearly Dead. Not only is it very entertaining its very inspirational and informative... Ps Thank you for everyone that encouraged me along the way. I didn't tell too many people what I was doing because everyone has their opinions and I didn't want to hear them. I say find whatever works for you as long as its healthy and you feel and look good its all good go for it! and IM sure if you read this or are still reading this you would like to know how much weight I lost while on this Juicing cleanse ... I started at around 212 ending at around 202 pounds (i go up and down so much by a few pounds thats why I say "around" Ryan Kovacic
