Lose 30 Lbs in 45 days

                                 
    As I mentioned before, I had never tasted fruits or vegetables in my life so beginning a healthy lifestyle for me was extremely difficult. One day I saw a documentary " Fat Sick and Nearly Dead" , which followed an obese man with significant health problems through the journey of detoxing his body through juicing (squeezing fresh fruits and vegetables without preservatives). For 60 days he consumed only vegetable juice, by the end of his journey he had lost 80 lbs and his health problems were under control without any medications. I went online and found hundreds of success stories of people losing an insane amount of weight in a very short time through juicing.  I decided to give juicing a try and I am so glad I did because it has changed my life.

Purchasing my first juicer: I decided to purchase the same juicer used in the documentary which was the Breville JE98XL for $150. Available here . I really recommend investing in a good juicer like this one since you are going to be using it very often. The cheap ones aren't designed for daily use and will break after a few uses. I've used four different juicers before and this by far has been the best yet.

Beginning the juicing journey: After purchasing the juicer, I visited the website associated with the documentary that explain the different juicing diets as well as recipes. For more info . I chose to do the "Classic Reboot" which consists of 15 days of juicing and eating. I don't think my body can handle the "Long Weekend Reboot" program of juice only. I decided to do my own spin on their version of the program, drinking 2 cups of vegetables/fruit juice a day and eating 4 pieces of lean meat per day.

 I suggest you browse through juicing recipes and select at least five that you are willing to try. I decided to just go to the market and buy all the vegetables and fruits that caught my attention. I don't follow recipes anymore, I simply throw all of the veggies in the juicer, add an apple,pear and pineapple and that's it.












                                           
    Top Ingredients I recommend you to buy:

• Pineapple
• Green/Red apples
• Carrots (80% of the recipes require carrots due to the sweetness it adds)
• Pears
• Celery
• Spinach Leaves
• Kale
• Cucumber (not very tasty)    

      My Least Favorite Ingredients:

•   Strawberries (Don't juice very well)
• Raspberries
