Chris and I started a diet. After being inspired by the documentary “Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead”, we decided to buy a juicer and go for it!
We are using the website http://jointhereboot.com/ for recipes and guidance.
Basically we are on a fruit and vegetable diet. The benefits of the program are to boost the number of fruits and veggies we consume and retrain our brains to crave fruits and vegetables. The reward will hopefully be weight loss.
The day before we started, we weighted and measured ourselves, avoided carbs and sugar, and went shopping for fruits and veggies!
On July 29th, we started a modified Reboot Entry Program. On the program, we can eat or juice fruits and veggies.
Some of the juices we have tried include:
Green Juice (kale, spinach, cucumber, apples and ginger root)
Sunset Blend Juice (white sweet potato, carrot, red bell pepper, beets, apples and an orange)
Blackberry Kiwi Blend (blackberry, kiwi, pineapple, banana, apple )
V28 (beets, carrots, tomatoes, parsley, jalapeno, radishes)
Green Lemonade (apple, spinach, kale, cucumber, lemon)
Tabbouleh Juice (parsley, tomato, red onion. lemon, cucumber, olive oil, salt and pepper)
So far, we have not had a juice that tasted bad. They are all surprisingly good. I have even tried fruits and vegetables that I have never tried before.
We have also made up our own juices.
Chris’s famous recipe - tastes like salsa (tomato, carrots, red onion, lime, spinach, cilantro, romaine heart leaves)
Results to come....
