Book Review: Lose Weight with Juice Fasting
Summary: 4 Stars
"...there is no better way to improve your overall health..."
After being on a fast for three days and losing five pounds I'm a believer. Fasting does work to lose weight and it happens quickly! Once you get into your juice fast it is quite fun to experiment with different fruit and vegetable juice combinations.
"The Juice Fasting Bible" is mainly a book that promotes fasting in a very positive way. Sandra Cabot (an Australian author and doctor) has seen patients recover their health (some lost a lot of weight) after being on a juice fast and this is why she is so enthusiastic about the process.
While this book does contain recipes a lot of them included orange juice and garlic which I don't think is a good combination. I think of garlic being used more with vegetable juices, especially in combination with cayenne pepper. The recipes are given for various ailments including arthritis, gout, asthma, cancer, depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia, headaches, heart disease, fatty liver, inflammation, macular degeneration, osteoporosis, sinus problems and more. Juice fasting can also lower cholesterol levels.
The reason juice fasting works so well is because of the phytochemicals that help to prevent diseases. Like an orange has 170 phytochemicals.
Sandra Cabot includes some helpful juicing principles and some good advice like to keep the skin on apples to increase the mineral and antioxidant content of the juice. She also warns against using grapefruit juice in certain cases as it can interact with several medications. There is a short list of fruits and vegetables and why they are good for you. I don't know why she included bananas since they don't juice well. I did however like the idea of adding coconut milk to fruit juice combinations.
While this book is very helpful for the new juice faster it lacks a complete plan of action. You are basically left to figure things out for yourself and this can be confusing. The minimum amount of juice per day is discussed. For some reason most authors of juice fasting books don't tell you exactly how to organize your day. I think to be safe you should read this book but also read: Juice Fasting and Detoxification: Use the Healing Power of Fresh Juice to Feel Young and Look Great : The Fastest Way to Restore Your Health. This second book talks about a liquitarian regime that includes many other liquids so you are not just drinking fruit and vegetable juices but also almond milk, soy milk, protein powder drinks, herbal teas and broth. It also discusses taking psyllium husks Dr. Natura Colonix Intestinal Fiber (360g) is good and contains many ingredients for intestinal health - it is also easy to mix up in water just make sure you also drink more water after drinking the mixture as it expands. Really read up on this because you need to know what you are doing to be safe.)
Other things you might want to take during your juice fast include:
Nature's Way Dandelion Root Capsules, 100-Count- a natural diuretic
Beano Food Enzyme Dietary Supplement Tablets, 100-Count Bottles, (Pack of 2) - helpful for preventing gas from various vegetables so you don't feel bloated.
Source Naturals Garcinia Plus, 120 Tablets - a natural appetite suppressant
PB 8 120 vcaps- a pro-biotic
I also found this routine helpful when you are starting out and doing a fast of three
or more days:
Day 1
Start your fast at night. Make enough fruit juice for two servings. Drink one serving
and refrigerate the rest for breakfast the next morning. (I know they say fresh juice
is better but who wants to make lots of noise juicing in the morning?)
Day 2
Drink fruit juice you made the night before.
When you get hungry drink a cup of broth - you can buy a vegetable base and use a teaspoon per cup of water.
Later drink an herbal tea.
For lunch, make two servings of vegetable juice. Drink one and save the
other for dinner.
When you get hungry drink another cup of broth.
A few hours later drink a teaspoon of psyllium husks with water.
Drink more water until you feel full.
For Dinner drink your saved vegetable juice.
For Dessert later make two servings of fruit juice and save one for breakfast the next day.
(Keep water around all day and drink enough to keep you hydrated.)
Day 3: Repeat Day Two, etc.
I found this easy to stick to and felt less hunger when I included the broth. If I got really hungry I added a few tablespoons of Spirutein Tangerine Dream to the fruit juice. I did feel a little strange on day four like I needed to eat something so I broke my fast by eating something small and then decided to get right back on track again. This book tells you what to eat if this happens to you. You can eat tomato soup, fruit or vegetables. I broke my fast by eating a mango and was fine. This book tells you about a one-day fast, a two-day detox fast, a three-day rejuvenation fast and a seven day deep cleanse fast. For beginners I'd say go with one to three days until you get to really know what you are doing.
You will quickly learn how many fruits and vegetables to juice to make two servings. I basically pile up cut-up fruits and vegetables on a dinner plate. When the plate is full and will hold no more that is about two servings.
Last, but not least I found a great combination for vegetable juice that I feel the need to share. Juice the following: Two kale leaves, four carrots, one cucumber, two vine-ripened tomatoes, one orange bell pepper and four green onions - white part only. Then after you divide the juice into two servings sprinkle each with powdered garlic and cayenne pepper - stir in well. This made the juice taste so much better!
Happy Juicing! Please consult with your doctor before taking any advice in fasting books or this review. Also listen to your body. If your body is telling you to stop your fast don't ignore the warning signs.
You may also enjoy viewing: "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead." It sure motivated me and is all about juice fasting.
~The Rebecca Review
I take no responsibility for your health if you follow the advice in this review. This
advice is based on my personal experience and I am not a doctor. You may need to drink
more than four glasses of juice a day. I just only like juicing twice a day.
