Since my early 20's (keep in mind mi is juss a young 25 )
Try to keep the juice days to days when I dont have much going on and/or are close to home.
I'm not really a grazer when I am eating, I am by nature a 3 meals and 3 snacks a day kinda person...so I follow that schedule when I juice for the day/24 hours.
The first time I did it I remember having &quot;the runs&quot; the next day...but now...no side effects per se. I do feel lighter a day of two after. Not sure if I am or not, but....you know.
I'll be traveling at the end of the month...and when I return from any travel (including sporting/event/race) I usually juice for a day when I return.

Re: Detox

ok, so would I be able to go into a health food store and ask for muscle protein, slim protein, energy protein?

Re: Detox

yes you would most of them that work in there know them products. nuff a dem a salesman as well suh nuh mek dem sell yuh alll kinda sinting and the powders are not cheap

I usually google a bit first before mi guh into the health food stores. make sure you know as much about the product first before yuh guh there.

why yuh nuh try the straight juicing first and see how yuh body react to that ? and then if everyting criss, add in the supplements later ?


<span style="font-style: italic">also mi sure yuh already know this but mi gwine to add it just the same. make sure that any supplements/herbs you are adding (1) will not interfere with prescription drugs or (2) has potentially harmful fillers.</span>

Re: Detox

Yeah I think I'ma try just a juice thing first... I just didn't know that you could actually go out and <span style="font-style: italic">buy</span> muscle/slim/energy protein... huh....

Smaddy told me that they went on a detox thing where they just did all citrus - oranges, grapefruit, lemon etc...

She said she was peeing like a racehorse and her stomach (I guess her oesophagus) felt raw (like it was scorched). All that aside, she said she felt amazing after she'd recovered Apparently after doing this for two days, she was down 2 (or was it 4 ) lbs, &amp; her skin looked like she'd had a peel.

I'd really rather just go as natural as I can (i.e just fruits or veg) but if I cannot see or feel any results, then I'll try adding the protein powders...

Re: Detox

Just my 2 cents...besides being mindful of what interacts with your RX drugs, one should be mindful of what &quot;additions&quot; are in their protien as well. Things like leucine, argenine, l-carnitine, sugar/and there respective substitutes, etc. that are sometimes conterproductive to weightloss, detoxing. Then their are rice based, soy, whey protiens, etc. all on there faces do the same things, but digging deaper may not benifit your primary goals in the end.

The &quot;purpose&quot; of detoxing is to give your system a &quot;break&quot; from the junk we sometimes ingest. Water and eating &quot;light&quot; usually does the trick. Specialized products (ie. protiens, supplements, etc.) are usually gimmicky and dont in the end produce the results folks are looking for.
