Lynn...uh where have you been? I only did the juice thing from Aug 26th- 30th. I made green, red and purple varieties for my breakfast, lunch and dinners, drank 100% pure organic coconut water, organic herbal teas in the snack times and warm water with fresh wedge of lemon every a.m. That week I lost 11 lbs. It was NOT about the weight loss at all though.... I felt so energized that week, not even the slightest hunger pang?? ( which astonished me) and I cleaned things around here that I had on hold since forever, lol.
Since then I went back to my regular healthy eating ( lean protein, veg, fruits but not many carbs) and just made green and some purple juices mainly as an add on for each meal. Let's say my beverage was a juice alongside my meal.
When I said I am struggling with my portions now, I meant I am filling up my plate with large portions....that and of course straying from the healthiest choices ( my sweet and salt demons are always around), but don't think I ever choose a starvation type of diet ever....not me baby cuz I loves to eat!! ha ha
