I bet you're wrong ............. if you ever used a juicer you would know it literally takes seconds, no faffing around

Isn't that what cavemen ate???
If you're on a paleo diet (I believe?) you can only eat what cavemen could eat ........... so no mars bars for a start!!
I don't eat mars bars.
They didn't Juice.
I was addressing your point thatThere's no comparison to our ancestors diets and what/how we eat today0 -

How can you lift and do cardio on a juice diet?!
Juicing is total boll0cks. Unsustainable for nearly everyone.
OK as part of good eating plan.
Jason Vale (The JuiceMaster) trained for and ran a full marathon on juice only ......... you are simply wrong 0 -

What does that matter. An odd juice / smoothie is grand.
You've been brainwashed. He trained for a marathon and only consumed juice? Ha! You really shouldn't believe everything that a guy who makes money from juicing says.
I believe myself ......... I've done a 30 day juice only plan during which time I worked full-time, looked after my 3 small children and went regularly to the gym ........ never lacked any energy during this time, in fact quite the opposite was the case. 0 -

Madness. Unsustainable. Why do something for 30 days and then stop? If you believe it's so good then why don't you live on juice every single day? It's another bull**** fad that preys on individuals looking for a quick fix.0 -

Who said I stopped?
I replace at least one meal (usually two) every day with a freshly extracted vegetable/fruit juice, I do a 3 day juice only plan most weeks, a 5 day juice only plan at least once a month, a 7 day juice only plan every 2/3 months and a 28 day juice only plan twice a year ........ it can't be unsustainable if I'm sustaining it ......... it's not a fad or a quick fix, it's a life-long life-style change that many many people around the world have been doing for years now 0 -

Anyone care to comment on the cost of these juice diets? The amount of fruit/veg in one juice is huge.
Looked into it a while back and based on the recipes from that guy that did the juice documentary, you are talking 80-100Euro per week for one person to do the plan he recommends. If you go organic it would be even more and if you have a poor juicer it would also be more cost in fruit and veg.
In the end i just dodged it because of the amount of hassle,cost and cleaning prep involved.
Also read something aboutthe juices having to be prepared very soon before consumption because of degradation of enzemyes.
So multiple preps,cleans each day
It's sad to say that it is more more expensive to eat healthy in general than it is to eat badly .............. I mean how the f**k can a burger only cost a euro?!?! It's madness!! :mad:
An average juice (kept a log of this in the past as I was curious about the cost myself) costs me about 1.22 euros so 5 juices a day would be 6.10 euros meaning the 7 day plan cost me 42.70 euros. However I stuck to a local fruit & veg shop, certain supermarket chains may be more expensive.
But for me it's worth the money for me and my family to maintain a healthy lifestyle ...........
Regarding juicing specifically there is little to no actual prep involved if you use a wide-chute whole fruit juicer .............. the left-over pulp can be use in soups so that cuts out the waste and the cleaning of the Philips juicers take literally 60 - 90 seconds!
Ideally you would juice and drink immediately but for a lot of people, including me, that is not always possible so I use Sigg Flasks to bring juices with me to work etc.0 -
A healthy diet has to be one that works and that is down to the individual. What works for you may not work for me.
His juicing diet works for him so is a great success for him. Simple.
Exactly!!
It's very easy to rant about a diet being "madness and unsustainable" without really knowing what you are talking about!
I could say the Vegan Diet, the Low-Carb Diet, the Slimming World Diet and going to the gym are all unsustainable ............ and for some people they are unsustainable!
Juicing itself is a very flexible lifestyle choice ............ some people juice 5 days a week and eat whatever they want at the weekends, some people juice for breakfast & lunch and eat a "normal" meal in the evenings, some people do one, two, three or however many juice only plans per year and eat whatever they want for the rest of the year ............. it's all about what works best for the individual 0 -

Who's ranting?
What's the reasoning behind your plans. Sometimes you do 3 days. Twice a year you do 28 days. Why? Why do you have to stop at 28 days if it's so good / sustainable?
By the way all diets (being on a diet) juice plans/detoxes are unsustainable.0 -

The above paragraph proves the errors in your views.
How is it flexible? Juicing 5 days a week means you consume nothing but juice for 5 days. How is that flexible?
Some people do a few plans a year and then eat whatever they want for the rest of the year ! Ha- ye do your juice plan and then eat anything- you'll be grand, the juice will fix it!0 -

The reasoning behind my particular Juice Plans are reboots and general health & well-being .....
You don't have to stop at 28 days, many Juicers don't, it's whatever suits the individual
I think a Vegan, for example, would disagree that his/her diet is unsustainable ....... a friend of mine has been on the Low-Card Diet for 15 years now, he would disagree with you about the sustainabilty of his diet .......... I don't consider Juice Plans as diets anyway 0 -

Ok ok, calm down ........... maybe have a Juice and relax!!
Juice Plans are flexible in that an individual can incorporate them into their lifestyle whichever way suits them best ........ sometimes I plan to do a 3 day Juice Plan but I end up continuing on to do 10, 12 or 15 days just because I was feeling great doing it and kinda forgot to stop!! 0 -

He isn't on a diet. It's a lifestyle. If he viewed it as being on a diet he wouldn't last.
Again being vegan is a lifestyle- it's not being on a diet. A juice plan is being on a diet as you only do it for a certain number of days. The fact you can last 28 days is because it's a lifestyle for one month. Could you last 15 years on juice?!0 -

I disagree, Juicing is a lifestyle choice ........ as I've said earlier, I Juice daily
I work with an idealistic young lady who announced one day that she was becoming a Vegan, a lifestyle choice as you said ......... she lasted two and a half days, that particular diet was unsustainable ....... for her

Nothing wrong with a juice/smoothie. Doing it only for a number of days then stopping is being on a diet whether you like it or not. She viewed it as being on a diet. Hence it didn't work. Thanks for cementing my point. Living on juice isn't flexible whether you think it is or not. Flexible is eating a variety of foods in different forms.0 -

So, using your logic, if I don't view Juicing as being a diet (which I don't) then it isn't a diet which is why it does work for me ......... thanks for that 0 -

I can be a bit lazy with cooking that's why I'm reading the thread. I thought blending some fruit or veg might be better than having rubbish snacks. Also the poster giving their kids a healthy juice sounds like a good plan.
It seems to only bother one or two posters ........ one in particular for some reason??
Maybe it's a "if I don't do it or believe in it then it must be wrong!" kind of attitude?? I don't know or care why they/he feels the need to rant to be honest :cool:
I personally have never bungee jumped nor do I ever wish to for various reasons ........ so I definitely would not go on a Bungee Jumping thread and start telling all the avid bungee jumpers posting there that they're "all f**king crazy stupid idiots" because of the risks involved in taking part in a pointless exercise ......... I would, quite rightly, be seen as a sad pathetic looney bin who just needs something (anything!!) to rant & rave about just because I didn't get enough attention as a child 0 -
Pretty ridiculous comparison!
You seemed to imply they could eat whatever they want once they do juice plans.
You think I'm getting worked up? I'm not. You are a stranger on the internet! It's good to point out the truth that juicing plans are total bull****.
The thing is, and you're not gonna like this, people can do whatever they like ........ whether you like it or not!! 0 -

If you want to call me names you should really do it directly. Now who's getting worked up juiceman?! Too much sugar in those juices clouding your wisdom!0 -

I really couldn't give a damn. Indeed they can. It just needs to be pointed out that juicing plans (3/7/30 days) are total bull****. I think you do give a damn!!
Ok, you have done what needs to be done several times ........ can the world continue on it's way now or do we all have stay put and listen to you repeat yourself over & over again?

Jesus christ man enough of the smiley faces, no one here is amused by your inane input. Bruno26 is dead right juicing programs are total nonsense and are unsustainable and are usually carried out by people who don't have the commitment to stick to a proper diet full time.0 -
Says condescending juiceman!
Is that because I disagreed with you and you get angry when people don't agree with you? You referred to me as a ****ing crazy stupid idiot and sad pathetic looney bin who didn't get attention as a child!
Now who do you really think comes across badly?
I don't believe I said that to you ........ but if I had said that to you then congratulations on the comeback ........ "Juiceman"!!! 0 -
