SeventhDay Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hey everyone, I just joined the site. I am super excited that there is a vegan bodybuilding website haha. Anyway....I went from 196 to 164 by going on a " Juice Fast " It took a little over 30 days on the fast to lose 32 pounds. I amreal excited to start getting some muscle...thus why i joined the website! Here are the pictures. I am rather new tobodybuilding, I have been reading up on it, but nothing from a vegan perspective, so any advice would be much appreciated.Thanks!

SunWarrior Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I've done juice fasts a few times before. But the longest I've ever gone has been two weeks. I always feel stronger and more energetic. I also find that my mood improves tenfold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always feel stronger and more energetic. I also find that my mood improves tenfold. Your lucky, I would love those side effects lol... It has the opposite effects on me. I get lethargic and lose all ambition. I become irritable and moody. After coming off the fast I shot up in weight about 10lbs due to food being stored in me and because I ate junk vegan food, so I am going to go back on tomorrow. I want to cut and then start bulking. Hopefully this time goes better emotionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICanDoThis Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Welcome and way to go! I juice every few days. I never look at is as a fast. I think of it as concentrated nutrition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good idea... maybe I just need to change my perspective. Calling it a fast makes me feel very restricted... hmmm, something to think about. haha.

blueduckxx Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I want to applaud you, but losing a lb a day and that much in such a short of time is never good. http://www.livestrong.com/article/385093-the-side-effects-of-losing-weight-too-quickly/ just google it, "side effects of losing weight too fast " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeventhDay Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Thank you, and thanks for showing me that link. With juicing I am getting all the nutrients I need for the day, it is just pre-digested for me. ( Assuming I drink as much juice as I should ) Also, after coming off the fast I changed my diet + lifestyle drastically; so I don't think the yo-yo thing will be happening. And for the other problems that the website talks about, I have nothing to say against them lol, if they are true then I suppose I am taking a risk. Tons of people are being cured of diseases, toxins, and losing weight from juicing. I can see starving yourself being a problem, but that's not whats going on here. I will be looking into this more though, so thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
