Juice Diet: Day One

This blog is dedicated to females interested in the fad diets and dieting in general. I hope my "experiment" provides insight and helpful information to juice fasting.

I started this morning waking up with an optimistic feeling inside, thinking my four day juice fast would be a cinch. By 2pm in the afternoon, I already hated drinking juice even though my eight servings of fruit were certainly delicious. Then I read a link on juice-diets.com, the maximum amount of time to be on a juice fast is five days. Therefore I made an executive decision to do the “juice only” on day two and three of the diet. And today and day four, juice will be consumed along with three small proportional meals. This way I will be able to experience a little bit of both juice dieting and juice fasting because supposedly there is a difference. According to an online website, fastweightloss.com, explains that juice diets is a supplement to other healthy foods, whereas juice fasts emphasize just drinking juice, nothing else. I am already dreading tomorrow and the hunger cravings that come with it! On a daily basis, I do not really spend much time thinking about to eat. But having the foreknowledge of not being able to eat anything, makes me hungry just thinking about the absence. It is like knowing what I can not have, makes the object more desirable mentality.

Going into this project, I knew absolutely nothing about juice diets until I started researching. I never even heard about juice fasting until I saw Cam and Mitchell try it on Modern Family. In fact, I don't think many people know about the concept of juice dieting since it is a fairly recent trend. The survey I conducted had the following results: 95.8% of the participants said they have never tried a juice diet and only 20.5% claimed to know someone else who has tried juice dieting.

It should be said upfront, I personally have absolute no faith in juice dieting or fasting. I mean, if it didn't work for two characters on a sitcom, there is little chance it will work someone in real life. However, I am willing to experiment with the idea in order to confirm my hypothesis and am excited to share the process. I promise to write a lot more tomorrow about day two!
