Hey everyone,

Thanks to those who posted on my request for help. I have decided to go ahead and get very serious about getting my health under control.

As of tonight, I am officially starting a 100% raw food diet. I am starting by trying to do at least a 3 day juice fast. I purchased a bunch of carrots to be my main stay, but also purchased some apples, grapes, beets, and red cabbage (all of these are organic). I also purchased 2 conventional pineapples.

I have read that all of these are very good fruits and veggies to juice and help with weight loss and/or blood pressure.

Anyway, I already started tonight by trying some carrots and cabbage. I think I made the cabbage to strong and it was hard to get down. But I managed to get most of it down. I used about 1/8-1/4 of a red cabbage which gave me about 4 oz of juice. I then juiced several carrots on top of that giving me somewhere around 12 oz total juice. I did not take a super close look at the ounces, I'll do better with my next juicing.

One question with the cabbage is what is a good ratio of cabbage to carrots? It seemed to me to be very strong, but maybe it just because I am just starting out.

I have also stated the obligatory blog to document my progress at [revoohc.blogspot.com]

Well, more later.

Thanks,

Chris

Good Luck with you 3-day Liquid Diet. You could add more juice and make it a Juice Feast instead of a Juice Fast. I'd eliminate the Cabbage, and replace it with Celery. Include some 'rich' Green Juice if you can. I like Wheatgrass, and Watermelon Rind juices.......WY

that's why wheatgrass is wheatgrass yogi

No, la_v, I haven't been able to maintain the Juice Feast for any length of time. Tomorrow is another day. Happy Juicing.....WY
