Just finished my juice fast and I’d say it was a pretty big success. I lost a decent amount of weight, felt great almost the whole time, and hunger was never a factor. Cleaning the juicer is a bit of PITA, but I’ll have more on that later.

Let’s look at the numbers…

If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments.

*bodyfat % is a crapshoot. I don’t know how accurate those numbers are outside of relative to eachother. I used a BioImpedance Handheld device. Details forthcoming.
