Calling it Juice fast week because there are two juice gurus holding a guided juice fast starting today, both English so you still have time to sign up, and hopefully you haven't eaten today or if you have start tomorrow! Now usually Joe Cross is my Guru on the Juices, I loved his movies "Fat sick and nearly dead" and he has a new movie out at the moment, I haven't watched it only the trailers, but it is more about getting kids to consume more vegetables, great concept and it is called the "kids movie". So I haven't given Joe the flick I just want to see if these other two Juicers have any other info to add to my bank of juicing knowledge, you can always learn something new right? anyway the first guy I signed up to do the 7 day budget juice fast with is "Natural Juice Junkie" Neil Martin, if you are new to juicing Neil sends you the list of juices for each day of the fast and each item on the list is linked to a video of how the make these juices, so he is helping you all the way, he provides a shopping list, and has already worked out how many apples you will need for the week along with celery cucumbers etc, keep in mind that the British have different names for some items like the Zucchini, in Britain it is called a courgette and as far as I know because of bloody cold storage, everything should be available, he calls it a budget juice fast, I think the reason is people complain that it cost too much in fruit and vegetables, but from experience I have found if fruit and vege is the only thing going in your basket for the week, it is not as dear as all the processed crap we tend to fill our trolleys with. If you are not committed to do this fast and you tend to look for excuses why you can't then don't do it because if you start with an negative attitude then you are setting yourself up to fail, but on the other hand, if this is the first time you have ever tried a juice fast keep an open mind and be positive, it is different for everyone, some people lose more weight than others even though they are drinking the same juice, I always keep in mind Joe Cross's mantra (80% vege to 20% fruit) mainly because everyone loves a fruit juice but without all the nutrients from the vegetables it is not going to provide your body with the same goodness. The second guy doing the guided Juice fast this week is Jason Vale, who also made a movie called the "Super juice Challenge" he also has several books, and I say good on him as he fixed himself first and then wrote about it to help everyone else, I kinda feel like that, I would love to see all my friends and family get healthy, and I know from experience that the quickest and easiest way is to venture on a Juice fast, and of course when ever I have an occasion or just decide to eat some solids or have a drink or two, I just put myself on a juice fast to get myself back on track or as Joe Cross calls it "a reboot" getting back to Jason Vale, I have followed his guided Juice fasts before, but I have varied my juices from his, as I am not sure if he is a 80-20 juicer or not, I will pay more attention this time around, Jason is excitable and when I watch his videos I always think that he would be a great salesman on the info commercials but in his defense he is trying to sell you on the whole Juicing lifestyle, (as well as flog his books) but you don't have to buy anything to join in or sign up to the guided juice fast, so in the words of Molly Meldrum ... "Do yourself a Favour" and start juicing! here is a link to Jason Vales Guided Juice Fast http://www.jasonvalesbigjuicechallenge.com/ And here is a link to Neil Martin's "The Natural Juice Junkie" So you choose I am going to be fasting for the next 7 days I will follow both of these gurus and keep you posted on who has the best info, I really think that all that matters is that you have a go, if you only manage 3 days at least that is 3 days of nutrients your body has received that it may not have received previously???
Juice On!
