I started juicing a while back when I finally committed to a black and silver Jack LaLanne juicer from Costco after lusting after a variety of juicers for months. I jumped into juicing with no idea what I was doing and no direction or goal other than to let the juice flow. I started reading anything I could find on how and what to juice. I had an image in my mind of my boyfriend and me juicing for breakfast every morning and getting super healthy which of course didn't happen. As it turns out the boyfriend only likes fruit juice which is tasty but not super nutritious and I can drink just about anything. I have finally settled into a routine where I try juice every other day any while my whole life hasn't changed I have seen some positive results. I don't own a scale so my results aren't appearance related. I have suffered from migraines for a handful of years now but recently they have become increasingly debilitating. In the first few days of juicing I was in the last half of a week long migraine which ended up landing me in the hospital. I recovered and I kept juicing partially because I couldn't keep anything solid down and partly to keep detoxing my body. For a week I was able to eat one food meal and two meals of juice until I got completely back on solid food. I also went cold turkey from caffeine in that time period and am now not drinking anything except for tea, which is pretty major since I was drinking an energy drink or espresso every day. Not only that my energy is up, I sleep better, no headaches (and therefore no pain meds), and I generally feel better. Is it 100% the juice? Possibly not but it has put me on the right track.
