A Little Known Way To Lose Weight, Restore Health and Increase Energy

This past weekend was an interesting one for me.  As of Thursday I was getting a little sick with a cough and a runny nose.  I was under rested, feeling burned out and not very motivated to do much other than sit and wait for it to clear up.

At the beginning of the month I had made a New Years Resolution that included having only 2 "cheat" meals per month and doing one weekend of juice fasting per month.  Seeing as how I was feeling sick, i figured it would be the perfect time to do it.

I went to Whole Foods on Friday and I got sweet potatos, carrots, celery, pinapple, apples, cucumbers and I already had oranges and grapefruit at home.

The first juice I made that night was a sweet potato/apple juice.  It was awesome!  I also had carrot/pinapple, cucumber/apple and carrot/apple, all which were so good and so refreshing.

It was almost immediate that I started to feel more energized and as the fast progressed my cough and runny nose started to clear up alot.  After about 18 hours on the fast (which included a nights sleep) I was about 80% recovered from the sickness.

When all was said and done I was about 95% recovered from the sickness, had more energy and motivation than I'd had in over a year, and I lost 7 pounds!  All after just 60 hours of juicing!

Juice fasting does so much for our bodies.  When we ingest juice and forsake food we are giving our digestive system a rest from its usual job of having to process and assimilate the food we eat.  This allows for its energies to be completely devoted to repairing and restoring itself and its functions.  On top of that the super concentrated juice concoctions contain valuable vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and enzymes that feed and nourish the digestive system and the other organs of the body.

Simulataneously while this is happening your body releases many of its stored toxins that it has accumulated through the air, water, food that you ingest and the daily care products that you use on a regular basis.  This allows for the "trash" to come out of your body which boosts the immune system and makes sickness and disease less likely to come upon you.

At the same time your body sheds some excess water, waste and fat weight that causes you to drop pounds very quickly.  This is an excellent way to lose a significant amount of weight if done properly in conjunction with a detox diet and done on a regular basis.  In fact the last time I did a juice fast I did it for 10 days and by day 6 I had lost 17 pounds!!

A detox diet includes a diet rich in natural foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, healthy oils and lean meats in moderation.  If you eat this way for 3-4 weeks then follow it with a 2-3 day juice fast it will be no time at all before you are losing significant amounts of weight and restoring your health to its prime.

It struck me as very funny that Jack Lalanne, the original juice evangelist died the same weekend I decided to do the juice fast.  I guess I'm gonna have to take over the reins and get America juicing!

My recommended resource for more information on juicing and a specific program to get all the benefits I've described is the book "Toxic Relief" by Dr. Don Colbert.  Or contact me and I can advise you 941-735-6223
