As you know, i am juicing for my health. Actually, two years ago, when i was struggling after i lost the weight on LighterLife, Richard said - just do the same thing, but with vegetables. How those words and that idea has come back to haunt me. I was circa 22stones (308lbs/139.7 kgs) before i did LighterLife and lost 8.5 (119lbs or 53 kgs).
So i found myself recently heading back to my fat old self, after struggling for alomost 5 years since LighterLife. I was also very unhealthy having been ill on and off for some months. I had managed to keep some weight off with exercise and healthy food as and when i could, but having been ill i was unable to do any exercise, so the weight sharply increased.
I was now at a point when i struggled to find any clothes in my wardrobe that fitted my gagantuan frame and felt terribly uncomfortable, and this combined with my health challenges, made me pretty low.
So Richard's words echoed in my head and i finally found www.jointhereboot.com and whilst it is primarily about health, it is the way to lose weight healthily.
I have been doing this for 13 days and so far i've lost about 7lbs and 2 notches on my belt buckle, plus, i feel marvellous compared to how i had been feeling. My skin is clear, my mind is clear and i feel light, happy and energised. The weight loss may in fact be more, as i did not really weigh myself at the outset, but was 19.5 stones when i did.
So i have been inventing some juices and using some recipes, from lots of sources.
As a kid, i used to love pickles and still do. That sharp, zesty, sour taste. Picked anything, but particularly picked onions and my all time favourite pickled red cabbage. Crisp, crunchy and sharp.
So here it is in a glass:
2 packed cups of washed spinach, or half a bag;
Red Radishes - a large handful;
3-4 sticks of celery;
1 Whole Lemon (washed in warm water, if waxed);
1/4 of Red cabbage;
2 Green crisp apples.
Juice all of the items and serve over ice.
