The "juicing program" we are following is based on a documentary entitled, "Fat Sick and Nearly Dead" by a man named Joe Cross. Basically Joe was an overweight, unhealthy, extremely sick man who decided it was time for a change. SO, after consulting doctors and nutritionist alike, Joe decided to do a 60 day juicing reboot. As a result, Joe lost an intense amount of weight (100+ lbs) AND was able to stop all medications because his disease was CURRED mind. blown.
While Daniel and I won't be going quite this extreme, we are both really excited to see what comes of this adventure. We've both felt very convicted as of late of the need to be good stewards of our bodies. If you're interested, the entire documentary can be found by clicking this YouTube link.
We also took some time to check out the book of Daniel to recall exactly what he and his friends faced when they took a stand {much different than ours} and told the king they would only eat vegetables.
Today marks |DAY TWO| of our juicing and I can honestly say, it hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be. However, easy is just not a word I would consider using at this point - especially after last night's dinner, "Joe's Mean Green":
6 Kale Leaves
1 Cucumber
2 Celery Stalks
1 Green Apple
1/2 Lemon
1 Small Piece of Ginger Root
I'll keep you posted... For now, check out our hull from Whole Foods on Sunday. And our stocked fridge. Pretty impressive when you consider that the TWO of us alone will consume ALL of this over the course of the next 3 days.
"Test your servants for TEN DAYS; let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink." ~Daniel 1:12
I'd love to hear your thoughts, but will offer the disclaimer that I DO NOT pretend for a second to, in any way, be an expert on the subject. Off to finish drinking my "dinner"!
