Juicing for Weight Loss

The movie, "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" addresses the problem of obesity and helping to change people's behavior through juice fasting. I applaud the concept! However, it is not doable for everyone. This is why I have weekly challenges. Baby steps are helpful to everyone, no matter where you are on your journey.  If you can devote a week to a fast, great! If not, then try replacing one meal per day with a juice - the later in the day, the better. No matter how short or long your fast, you need to develop a plan for "re-entry". When you return to "normal" - your normal should be different than it was before the cleanse. Do you need to give up sodas? fatty snacks? Eat more protein? Develop your plan BEFORE you are through with your fast. You know what will work best for you - so trust yourself! Meanwhile, here is another recipe to enjoy:

Not-So-Bloody Mary
Juice together:
1 tomato
1 green onion - with the top
1 carrot
1 stalk celery, with leaves
1 handful of spinach
1/4 bunch parsley
1/2 lemon - peeled
Add 1/2-1tsp Bragg's Liquid Aminos and a dash of ground celery seed
Enjoy!
