That's kind of the point, it's a band aid rather than a life time fix, if you want to keep weight off in the long term you need to devise a way you can eat every day and incorporate the occasional splurge without putting it back on, and that includes including some exercise to get your heart rate up and burn calories
but meh if she want to live on juice who am I to argue :shrug:

As far as I'm aware Kizzy isn't doing it just for weight loss, but for a variety of other reasons too as she mentioned in her earlier posts.

I'm also pretty sure she's aware of what will work long-term (hence why she said it won't be for too long), but imo there's absolutely nothing wrong with doing things like this if they have a quicker effect and help the situation?

'
It's up to her what she does with her body but if she is pre diabetic or something she needs a long term fix, that's just my opinion

Everyone is different I suppose but if the doctors are describing how you feel is hangry then sorry I wouldn't have thought they would advocate that as a beneficial state to be in.
I didn't feel hangry. .. I didn't eat but drank regularly to satisfy any cravings and give my digestive system something to process and stop my blood sugars spiking wildly.

It isn't though because it's the norm... whereas in truth it's really dangerous.

Go on... in all seriousness what do you think is dangerous about this juice cleanse surely you have some thing to back up such a claim?... something I can counter with my experience of it.

Of course it's a temporary measure, to rid your body of cravings for sugar, carbs, caffeine.

The real work begins in not reintroducing some foods back into your diet or at least vastly reducing your intake.
And getting motivated to move more.

Thanks! That's exactly right, it's short term restriction of certain food groups, sugars and carbs to reboot your system to not crave them to function any longer.
Reduce inflammation and weight on sore joints or remove viceral fat from round organs.

Again... I never said it was. I was disputing the claim that something can't be dangerous if it's only short term. :hee:

It is though. Just because people do it a lot, doesn't mean everyone doesn't know (and don't have it thrown at them all the time on TV and by doctors/teachers etc) that it's bad for you.

It's like smoking/vaping, people know full well it's dangerous and potentially life threatening, but yeah, people do it.

I agree with the move more, but I think where people fail is avoiding some foods altogether, I think everyone should be able to have a treat as completely cutting out foods is difficult and never works for me anyway

Well I’ve never felt ‘hangry’ in nearly five years of intermittent fasting ..

For what it’s worth .. this is something I actually fancy trying !!

How long are we talking to reduce my love of bread and sweet stuff ??

Right so nothing to do with the thread topic ... obviously some things are dangerous even if done short term. Thanks for stating the obvious :hee:

I responded to a post in the thread, so yes it was.

Obvious to you, clearly not the person I was talking to.

It might be thrown at them by doctors but in the general population it's the norm ...go to the pub drink to excess, have a kebab. Nobody bats an eyelid.
Say you're doing a juice cleanse and it's, omg! Your gonna die! :bored:

Im not sure to be honest if you love them like I do you will always want them, but personally I'd say the cravings went after about 4 days. You might feel pretty rubbish at first, headachy and such if you had a lot of caffeine but it passes and then it's fine :)

You did insinuate you were discussing juicing though maybe try make yourself clearer? A generic 'something' is not very helpful.

Update, I've done a month so added in a light evening meal, had scrambled egg yesterday and had a thin turkey steak and a punnet of mushrooms tonight mmmmm :)

No they don't bat an eyelid, but ask them and they know it's bad for them. They do it anyway. That's the point I was making.

I didn't insinuate anything. It wasn't a generic random comment, it was A REPLY to something Caprimint said.

:facepalm:

I experienced that when I went from 7 cuppas a day to zero ... :)

Do they?... That's subjective. A lot of the few pints and a takeout eaters I know think it's perfectly ok :/

Yes... you didn't commit to whether you thought juicing was dangerous or not in that comment, although the tone of your posts suggests you feel it is. :facepalm:

Care to clarify?

In all seriousness - why would one need to juice cleanse in order to cut carbs and sugar? I generally don't eat empty "glutenny" carbs like bread, pasta, etc. and keep refined sugars low because I do get joint inflammation (shoulders and wrists, mostly) that seems to be drastically reduced when I keep refined carbs away. I've also reduced (though not stopped, too tasty) red meat consumption lately. But I'm not sure what the benefit of the juice cleanse is, over and above just cutting the junk.
