I'll list my favourite juices over the next few blogposts and give the recipes that you can also try. This is Joe Cross's Carrot Apple Ginger recipe, especially nice in the morning. You need four apples, six carrots and a piece of root ginger about 2-3 cm wide. If you have a whole fruit juicer, no prep needed so just wash the fruit and juice the lot! That will make two large servings of about 375-400ml each. Have one in the morning and either put one in a flask for later in the day or give the other one to a friend! For other recipes and the details of the plan I followed, go to www.rebootwithjoe.com and look up the "Plans" section under the Rebooting tab.
It hasn't all been plain sailing and I have missed food a bit. This weekend I am missing out on three different birthday parties but will stay drinking just water. Dawn has had a very stressful week one way or another and succumbed to the lure of Sauvignon Blanc but had been eating some light meals anyway.
For me, I also have to say that the odd handful of blueberries and piece of fruit has been eaten as opposed to juiced but I'd be getting it anyway so that works for me. There has also been a couple of food tastings as I have been cooking for the kids but I am proud to say that nothing processed has passed my lips.
It seems to be a "top-down" diet that has most worked on the face and upper torso so far. I am yet to notice a significant difference in the waistline but my shirts and jackets are much looser; a good few inches looser I would say! That is a big bonus and I hope that I will be a size smaller very soon.
I'll continue to update every few days but if you are thinking of doing it, I do recommend it, if only for a short while.
