Super Juice Me!: 28 Day Juice Plan Paperback – Picture Book, February 20, 2015

This book is super thick. It's more information by the author of that wonderful video I watched years ago and just loved. Now that my health was getting a little worse and my home life was at a point where I could juice I decided to try this one. I was trying to figure out what recipes based on other things in randomly looked up that there was a book for super Juice me. Huge thank you to the author for that. It's exactly what I needed recipes are simple recipes or doable for the working parent.Some of the recipes are bitter. And it's a matter of going through the recipes and getting out the ones that you like the most in my opinion. I'm not sure nutritionally that's going to take out some of the other recipes or not but that's what I'm doing. Sometimes the lime is too tart or the ginger is way too much but usually that's my own errors.Following this regime I'm now in week 3 and a half. I've come to a routine where I'm able to make the juices ahead of time and save the rest of my schedule for other things including workout. It took me a week to get into the workouts because juicing is a Time consuming process. This author unlike many others makes it as simple as possible for you. If you are new to juicing I highly highly recommend this product in order to get the most from your transition to a healthier lifestyle. I also recommend during that first say four days to take off from work as your body adjusts to the gut changes that come with drinking lots of vegetable juice. That way if you need to cleanse yourself you have all the stuff available. If you work on your feet as a first responder like I do then you need to plan appropriately for everything including how to store your drinks. Nothing is worse than warm vegetable juice except sour milk.It'd be cool to have a section on hydration with water because that's totally missing from this book. I got thirsty in week one and really needed to just make up my own mind what I wanted to do about how much water intake to add with this plan. I went for the half your body weight and fluid ounces recommendations.You may find over time that you don't need as much water depending on your environment. During the summer I definitely needed more water and could add as much ice not just a few cubes to my drinks. Adding ice is another way to keep your juice cold if you like me work all day and can't just use randomly throughout the day.I did not try the freezing the juice option that he listed. That sounds really gross and a severe loss of nutrients to me. The most I would do is to keep a juice a day or two and after that it's no good.I used the scraps for my chickens who seem to love it.My children will not drink most of the juices because they are too tart. Some of them were too tart for me. One with the berries was way too thick. And I caution you from getting creative and throwing in extra banana fiber or pear fiber because then you have this undrinkable thick High fiber smoothie that does not taste or feel good.I've only gotten the munchies if I did not drink the shakes like he describes which is at intervals of a morning shot then a thick smoothie at the beginning and end of the day and too thinner juices during the midday. These intervals have been pretty good for keeping my blood sugars level. And after 2 weeks I no longer get that midday fog. I don't need as much water because I usually put in more ice into my drinks and on days when I need caffeine I can just take a little. I am using the supplements he mentioned but not some everyday or at least not every meal I should say.Equipment that I use that might be helpful to you includes two quart jars and two half court jars. There are a couple of shakes that need a full quart (rainbow remedy). Usually I just take those extra sips off manually and enjoy the shake fresh out of the squeezer. But I don't try to improvise on the recipes because the bad experience I had was either too tart or too much pulp in my results.It's also helpful to have a large sized cooler and some ice packs to keep your juices fresh and cool throughout the day. Some days I work out of a vehicle and I can just put the juices into the container and keep them cool all day. Maybe some hand wipes. Maybe some soft wipes toilet paper for the first few days till your body gets used to it.My first session that I'm doing because I'll be doing multiples I have used regular produce that is readily available to me. The next round I will try with organic produce and see if the results are any different.For me this lifestyle changes something I really wanted ever since watching the movie and like 2021. I have not completely faithfully followed his plan because on occasion I will have a real meal that is healthier than what I would normally have been eating. But for example I tried Nutella I think it was week too with a banana which was one of my favorite go-to's before. The Nutella tasted terrible and I couldn't eat it. Removing the sugars the salts the fats will make you satiated with just the shakes alone.Other products I've tried include a unflavored hemp protein powder and unflavored pumpkin protein powder spirulina greens powder gut enzyme pill and oil pill.Unfortunately my allergy problems were not resolved at all and this is where I feel like continuing to try and live this lifestyle maybe helpful. I have noted many positive changes from my 3 weeks doing this. I think I have only lost water weight but the amount of energy through this diet alone and the positive changes such as flowing skin hydration feeling better sleep and more kinetic energy to me this is a really positive thing. I'm going to be giving it a lot of time over the next year to see if this is a lifestyle I want to keep and definitely and possibly add in a few meals.There's other support ideas in the book including some great movies and I really like Joe cross's program as well. He has a transition diet portion of his book which I did not see in this book. It looks like a transition to clean eating but I wasn't interested in reading his book as much as this one because this one has a clear shopping list clear recipes and well his film is great.If you are looking to get into a juicing lifestyle I would highly recommend trying this after you've gotten your doctor's okay. If you can afford a nice juicer or a organic diet those are great to start with.Good luck and happy juicing!

What a great experience! Watch the documentary Super Juice Me online for free (if you haven't already) and tell me you aren't inspired to change your lifestyle for 28 days and watch/feel the transformation in your mind and body. I completed the 28 day challenge two weeks ago and I continue to juice and or blend for breakfast and lunch. When you decide to take the challenge, I strongly encourage you to get the app. It has all the recipes, videos for each recipe, shopping lists, and great coaching videos. I lost 20 pounds, feel better than before I started, and there is no hunger pangs once you get past a few days and your body adjusts to receiving real nutrition like it is designed to. I would have lost more weight if I didn't suffer from chronic fatigue and was able to exercise more, but I still feel better than I have in a long time. Thank you Jason!

As I write, I am on day 27 of Jason Vale's Super Juice Me plan. Looks like I am going to survive after all - I surely did not think that on days 1-4. I like the book although it is quite repetitious and that wore on me ... thus four stars. I think the shopping list is off and I suggest you actually take the time to calculate your own list based on the recipes for the week - it seems that I had a lot of extra. The good part is that it didn't cost me nearly as much as I expected. The first week cost me $110 in produce (75% organic) and I wondered how I could do that times 4 weeks. As it turned out, the full month cost me roughly $200 or less. That is worth the healthy boost to your body.I didn't lost as much weight as I wanted, but I didn't have a lot to lose anyway - it was more about ridding my body of toxins and replenishing with good nutrients. I will say that I never thought I would make it - after all, I was drinking foods that I had never eaten. At the beginning I had to hide the green drinks in a glass I could not see through but now I think they're kind of pretty and more amazing, they now taste good. Any drink with beets in it, is heavenly. My taste buds have done a complete turnaround but that's not to say I would not still mug you for your chocolate. Previous to this I ate chocolate every day - every, every day! If I can live without chocolate for 28 days the the truth is that anyone can do this plan.
