(This jump started her metabolism). Then she would eat very healthy for the rest of the week, mostly fruits and vegetables. She had a full rest day at least once a week, sometimes more if she listened to her body.
She ain't lying I started dec 1 I was 248 now dec 15 it say 228 I'm shocked I'm a person who struggles with weight so bad I just want to be 170 again so bad and the results just encourage me to keep going
“I stopped eating food” !!!! That is really what I feel like I need. I need something simple and I’m not really someone who gets hungry. I’ll just have cravings.
I dry fasted half the day for six weeks the dehydration and constipation was REAL! Right now I'm water fasting until 6 and eating vegetarian for up to 2 hours. My body feels great right now.
I’m on my 8th week of juice fasting … down 31 pounds..now I’m looking for ways to intensify my fast. I’ve water fasted 14 days straight before it was hard but I love it. I dry fasted 72 hours ( the hardest, but loved that too) But, I’m about to start doing this cardio …like now !! Lol I’m literally, getting off TH-cam for 30 min to do a workout .
This will not work for me I have an extremely slow and damaged metabolism because I starved myself for years and years since a young age now even if I don’t eat anything for an entire week I don’t lose weight also juice is high in calorie and it will spike insulin and blood sugar for me anything makes me gain weight even water even starving myself doesn’t work anymore nothing does
I will tell you why it worked for you it’s because you have a fast metabolism or maybe it’s the first time you diet or you never starved yourself in the past you have a good metabolism and genetics if juice made you lose weight because for me i will gain for sure
***NEW SUBBIE ***🥰🥰🥰 Just made the decision to re-commit in choosing me AGAIN. I am vegan, but desire to be totally plant based and mostly raw. And then I find you.... To God be the Glory!! Because of your Inspiring words, I'm going to the grocery store to load up on Veggies to juice.
Awww that is awesome! Yes, you have to keep showing up for yourself again and again because you are in control of your happiness. So glad this was used as an inspiration on your journey ❤️
Excellent video! Autophagy kicks in during a strict water fast, which is your body recycling old cells and killing bad ones. People only dry fast to speed that up (1 day dry = 3 days water). Adding a tiny bit of Pink Himalayan salt in the water replenishes the electrolytes you lose during a water fast and helps with the nauseous feeling some experience. I did before I learned this trick. I only juice fast a day before a 48 or 72 hour water fast. Once you get through 2 fasts, your body will adjust and it gets easier. Like she said, walking is easy on the body, don’t go hard lol. Maybe Pilates or light weight training; very light. Don’t pass out! Good luck!
I'm typically a champ but I'm craving all kinds of foods and it's just day 3 God....oh yeah, from Farmers Market, to cleaning veggies, to juicing for 3 days and cleaning took me a total of 4 hours which is amazing considering cooking and cleaning for 3 days takes much longer. It's rough....I'm willing to pay for prayers at this point...lol!!! 🙏🏽
That is very inspiring, to this 72 year old female, because when you mentioned listening to your body, I could identify with that!

The doctors, physician therapist, for instance, do not know your body, as well as you do, therefore listening to what your body is saying is key! Great video, young lady.❤
It’s so crazy how I started intermittent fasting and my insane food cravings went away so quickly! I’ve been losing one pound a day just by exercising twice a day and eating 1 meal a day. My morning workouts are at the gym and my second workout is daily walks
YES!!!! Vegan also since January 2018. I agree my situation was the same as yours. When I addressed the inflammation I started loosing weight in areas I never lost in and it’s been slow since then but you can see the gains. The key was addressing the inflammation.
I also found that listening to my body made a drastic difference. When my body is tired I rest and sometimes that means taking exercise easy or not and increasing my sleep. I lost weight without exercise. The key to doing dry fasting days at a time is utilizing things like chia seeds soaked a few days in advanced to increase hydration and nutritional benefits.

By the way, your skin looks amazing! Thanks for sharing this. This is just what I needed to hear to start my weight loss journey. I plan on doing exactly what you did. I don't have the funds to pay for a gym membership at the moment, but I do have a dog and I'll use the opportunity to walk morning and night for at least an hour or a total of 1 hr 45mins every day. Then I'll only consume liquid!
Aww thanks so much! & you really don’t need a gym. As long as you’re moving everyday (walking, running, jogging, walking up and down stairs, etc) is enough for you to see major results. You can definitely do it because the key to losing weight is really what you decide to consume. 🤍
Exercises using body weight like pushups, planks, etc. There are many videos and charts on these. Plastic gallon water bottles with handles for weights, jump rope, jumping jacks, etc.
Fasting has helped me heal from acid reflux, migraines and my skin is radiating. No more brain fog. I do 20/4 daily with a couple of extended ones each month . I work out from home, there are so many fitness gurus that you can follow on TH-cam ( I follow Caroline Girvan)
You did that. I’m gonna keep letting God change my life and help me to lose weight and better health and fast for few days and lose some weight and overcome my bad habits and get closer to God and focus on getting drivers license so I cans go to the gym.
I am doing dry fast and eating alittle at the 24th hour. I find it easier than water diet. I am sleeping better, am more productive in accounting which is my job, saving time and I am hoping to loose weight. Wishing you all only the best. Happy 2023.
Glad I found your channel. I’m recovering from a broken ankle and have gained so much weight. I’m an avid hiker and runner and being mobilized in a cast for me was awful. I have 20 1bs to lose and I have started juice/water fasti 3 days ago. Thank you for sharing your experience. You gained a new sub here
Celery juice is such a great way to get in electrolytes! Loved your video and energy. I’m ready to take this ride. Cooked vegan food such as a steamed potato drains my energy. Excited to feel alive from food!
U have inspired me! I can relate with your journey. The body pain, stress, and I feel like I’ve exhausted all options. I’ve been vegan for years but I’m still overweight, tired, and just feel perpetually sick. I did a 30 day juice fast over a decade ago and I remember I loved it. So I’m going to start again! I can’t afford the nama yet, but I’m going to buy it next month (with your code) and I’m going to go all out like u and do a 90 day fast. I’m so pumped. Thank you for sharing your story and giving me the courage to do it again.
Thank you Whitney. I am so happy that people from all backgrounds are doing juice fast and sharing it online cause we need representation from every one!!!!!!!!! All around love love love!
THIS CRAZY THAT I CAME ACROSS YOUR VIDEOS THIS MORNING CAUSE I BEEN THINKING ABOUT JUICING, AND GETTING CLOSER TO GOD , I JUST PURCHASED A JUICER OFF LINE AND I WILL BE STARTING NEXT WEEK!! THANKS FOR SHARING WITH US 💕💕
Hi. I just found you late last week and watched couple videos. Then I saw you starting 14 day juice fast and am here for it. It’s hard doing alone so doing with y’all will def help. Will keep checking your videos everyday. I got all my fruits and veggies and about to juice. I have a dog so will use that as my opportunity to walk. I usually let her out in the backyard but will start walking since that only can make a difference. Thanks for this channel and helping us on this health and wellness journey
We should all workout even if the goal isn't to lose weight. Workouts help use up the glucose in the blood. Sometimes smoothies even though it's fruit has too much sugar.
The purpose of working out isn’t all about losing weight. It’s a major benefit to lose weight but the purpose of working out is to improve your internal systems and heart health but a major system is your lymphatic system. The purpose of working out extends far beyond that.
I’m using green smoothie for breakfast and dinner. Lunch is kale and carrots with chicken breast. Some week I may do a salad, In between snacks are fruits, with the help of exercise. This is what works for me, everyone is different.
Thank you for this. It's confirmation that I need to do this. I haven't been feeling my best and it's time for a change. I've been including smoothies in my diet more regularly. I've pulled animal products out my diet and processed foods. But I've been feeling unhealthy sooo I'm starting this today
Very great informative, and beneficial information! I've been down this road up and down with so much, and realize mainly stop eating is going to do it! When you feel you need something some juice or just water, as all you need. When you're trying to lose weight, your body can use the energy from your fat to burn, food just delays that process...🙏🏽💜
I'm so glad that I found your videos!! I have been thinking about juicing for several months now. Your video just showed up on my phone, and I know that this is a sign from God. I am going to start juicing today. I have ulcerative colitis, stomach problems, and cronic constipation. I felt like you were talking to me, and I'm so happy to run into your juicing videos, you have just gave me the motivation to start juicing today!! Thank you!!!❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing your journey! I've tried to do a 7 day juice fast but only made it to 5 days, but it was in the deep of winter here in Canada. I'd love to do 90 days, but think I'd have to do that in warmer months.
have u tried warm drinks? like vegetable broth, tomato soup, or slightly warming the juices? I only asked bc it works for me here in NYC but Canada is Waaayyyyy colder than us. I even do hot lemon water, with ACV and little tap of cayenne pepper, also cleansing teas (I stuck to pure leaves like peppermint & such).
Awesome!!!!!!! Sista girl, I thank you for the info and inspiration. I'm new to juicing. My brain is soaking up as much knowledge as it can. Congrats and may God bless you and your journey.
Love this video and hearing about your journey. Electrolytes are really important along with water. I even add salt to some juices and water with some squeezes of lime
@@WhitneyPeoples look up Autophagy. Your body rids itself of waste by using what is has and that includes water. You are very strong and very inspirational and also gorgeous
I'm so glad I came across your channel. I was vegan for so many years and had issues. I'm a powerlifter but my body is so strong when I'm not eating food. I'm going on a juicing journey to reset my body right now
Awesome channel Queen. I did 44 days on juice. Now I'm going on 3 months of raw fruits and vegetables. Let's get it. Awesome channel....Thanks for sharing your journey and experience. Highly motivating and encouraging. Shalom Sis!
That’s amazing! That’s my end goal to go raw with fruits and veggies once I’m done with juicing. Also, thank you! I appreciate that. 23 more days to go before I get to day 90 🤗! I’ll continue to share!
I have been struggling to lose weight. I have autoimmune disease's and horrible pain from a car accident I was in so many years ago. My doctor prescribed pain meds that I'm afraid to take. I'm definitely doing this.
Your energy is the sweetest! Also, electrolytes will cure that sluggish/ pass out feeling during a fast. There are a lot of sugar free options or you can make your own 🌺🌈
Im 5’2” 150lbs and my goal is return to 120lbs so I need 30lbs off and it’s so challenging. I drop 10lbs easily and fluctuate btw that loss and plateau. The remaining 20lbs is so hard . Ughhhh
Keep trying. I know it gets discouraging but it's something that maybe happening in the gut. You may need to try probiotics and add more lemon water to your diet to help support your gut.
I’m in the same boat as you ! I can always get down to 142lbs, but that’s about it. I want to get back to 125 because being 152 is overwhelming for my body. I feel so heavy, tired, and lazy. This extra weight needs to go !
So you starting at my goal weight 🙄 of 150! I haven't seen that in some years but hopefully I find what works for my body bc the struggle has been real finding what works for me! Good luck to you!
Hi, new subscriber here. I’m going to start my juicing next year. I work from home so I think I can do this. I do strength training 3 days a week so I might have to add a raw meal 🥗 those days. I’ll be back with my reports. Keep me accountable.
I'm preparing myself for a juice fast for the new year as well as prepare myself to becoming a vegan..I have done a fast before its an amazing experience..i have a auto immune disease called scleroderma..I did a juice fast for 1month and it works..I'm abt to go hard body again💪🏾💪🏾just ran across your video..thank u for the information..
Thank you for this great info! I will look at your other videos to see your journey 🙏🏽I needed some encouragement and this one hit home! New Sub here!!! beautiful blessings to you Sis 😇
Heyy sis! Are you doing any upcoming juicing/fasting? I have never done this combo. I've done it separate but never together. Please consider doing a challenge. I would love the accountability. Did you stall at all? My body love stalling 2-3 weeks into any program that I do.
At my church, we dry fast three days straight three times a year and dry fast 6am to 6pm every Thursday. First few times its hard but after that it's easy
@verysmartprincess I have never heard of a church dry fasting and I am interested in hearing more about this. What is the specific reason, what kind of church and where can I find more info? I like the idea of the entire church doing this 3x annually.
@@WhitneyPeoples oh wow... I dont know if im ready.... im so scared on the impact on my knees... maybe if I brisk walk, then start jogging a little, I will be able to sprint .. in say 6 months...
@@Ebizzill are you working out in the gym too? I’m asking because I was going to mention the stairmaster or just simply walking up and down stairs. That usually intensify the cardio as well & helps a lot.
@@WhitneyPeoples im not even going to lie, I started ADF to help my eating management and see if perhaps, my body needed rest and proper nutrition by taking exercise out of the equation. I got down to maybe 25 pounds before the plateau, and it took me almost 7 months to reach that point...which is really slow progress. (im seeing people loose than in maybe 3 months, so 7 months is telling me that im probably doing something that is hindering me from further progress) . So now that I know this, I started walking (admittedly not as consistent weekly, but still better than being laid up like a beached whale the previous 7 months), I've been fluctuating with 5 pounds the last 3 months, I should be down 15 pounds by now, but it seems I need something more aggressive. I was researching which exercise will be low impact for me to do, and still give me results efficiently, people have been saying resistance training like lifting weights, and it seemed realistic, but then now, you proposed cardio like stairs, and now im a bit indecisive again.
@@Ebizzill totally understandable. Weight training does work but not as quickly as cardio. Walking everyday for 30 minutes alone will help you see a major difference just in 2 weeks. Adding stairs to it would work even better. I don’t think you should dive into weight training with the mindset of losing weight. It’s good for muscle growth and burning some body fat but without cardio you won’t accomplish major weight loss in a shorter period of time - long term you will but not in the short term. Try not to stress about it and just do what you’re able to physically do on the daily basis. Any type of movement is better than no movement.
Oh I will add electrolytes definitely and or a healthy sea salt, Himalayan salt and pinch of it in the water, will help with those dehydration and feeling flushed...
Wow this sounds amazing! How did you get started? & what does your day to day look like? I would like to get into fasting but I’m currently in the very beginning stages of trying to eat healthy.
Hi Victoria, I vlogged my journey so every video after this one I talk about my experience. Also, I failed a few times when I attempted to get started but one day I just stuck with it. I believe starting with raw foods help a lot before doing a fast.
Don't plan. If you plan your brain will refuse. Start by eating early...6pm....then nothing....push it the following day as long as you can.... step by step. All the best.
You can definitely do it while on meds. It may even help to one day get off of them. One thing I discovered on my journey is that is definitely changes your mood.
Hi! Since I’m doing it for 90 days and now approaching day 60, It fluctuated based on my money/budget each week. In the beginning I was spending 300-400 dollars per week but I changed that because it was too expensive. I was buying primarily organic and juicing a lot more expensive fruit and veggies. Around the third week, I started being more creative with water fasting and also adding water to my green juices since my veggies and herbs weren’t producing as much juice. Some weeks I had extra money and would buy all organic and spend about $200 in combination with the watering fasting some days out of that week. I have another video posted on how I only spent $50 on juicing for the entire week buying primarily organic. You should check it out. I didn’t use a recipe book - I’m new to juicing fasting, but I’ve been juicing for years now so I already had my favorite recipes.
Honestly, I primarily juice fruit. I've never really fell for the "too much sugar" talk when it came to fruit. I do have a go green juice that I make which consist of primarily veggies with cucumber as my fruit, but that's really it. Since I didn't go in with any health challenges regarding sugar, I really didn't feed into it. I've completely my 90-day juice fast and is now raw. I didn't come out with any health challenges from juicing the fruit. I hope this helps :-)
Do you believe in Mucoid Plaque? If so have u released it to Absorb the great benefits and minerals in juicing and a Raw Good Living? Do you believe we have to do a long(30+ days) juice fast to release the mucoid plaque before raw foods? Thank you for sharing with us 😊
Yes, I do believe the mucoid plaque is “real” but I do not believe that everyone has that in them to release. I believe some people may naturally accumulate more than others which is why the release it - but that’s just my opinion. I’m on day 69 and I haven’t released anything.
Yes, I supplemented but not will pills - I did IV therapy. The only reason I supplemented is because of how long my fast was. Anything shortly than that, you may not need it especially if you’re not deficient in anything when starting the fast
Hes something that would help . when fasting you will have symptoms of detox its like detoxing yourself from hard d r u g s you make want to throw up and you might have a headache and you might break out with pimples all this is bec your body is pushing all the nasty stuff out of your body . if you have a headache or feel sick please put some pink Himalaya salt in one glass of water . it has a ingredient in it that your body needs . also dont do cardio on any fast this is dangerous it can cause your body to break down like ypur mussels and other parts of your body you need to live . if you want to be active go on slow walks dont jog or run or do do any cardio workout .
Yes I loss more. My starting weight was 167 and now I’m 130. I’m drinking my juice with no cardio so that I don’t lose anymore weight. It’s working out well. ☺️
Can you post a before and after picture because I went back through your videos and you look the same weight. You looked great then and you still look great now.
Yes, I actually started my health journey back in 2016 but over the past year I gained about 25 lbs and I was a little depressed which added to increasing the inflammation in my body. I went on the juice fast because I needed to lower the inflammation in my body and lose the unwanted weight I gained. I will be doing another video when my juice fast is over to advise on my final weight & I’ll be showing before and after pics
I was taking in 4-6 liters of juice. & I was in the grocery store everyday (by choice) so it wasn’t much thought to plan out the recipes. I would go and get fruit and leafy greens everyday and create different recipes.
Can you help by letting me know how to do this on a budget. Juicing seems kind of out of reach. I spend sooooo much. We’re there certain vegetables that you choose? Even apples are ridiculous $
Load up on greens. I have this go green juice I made during my juice fast. You can also add homemade nut milk to your recipe list as well. I think the protein part depends on how long you plan to juice. I didn’t focus on it when I did 90 days. I really don’t feed into the protein talk to be completely transparent but I totally understand why it’s important for most people
She did juice fasting, then water fasting.
She jogged.
She walked. Low impact cardio. 1 hour a day.
One day she would walk or jog, not both.
She would do a fast 2 days out of the week. (This jump started her metabolism).
Then she would eat very healthy for the rest of the week, mostly fruits and vegetables.
She had a full rest day at least once a week, sometimes more if she listened to her body.

Fasting has helped me heal from acid reflux, migraines and my skin is radiating. No more brain fog. I do 20/4 daily with a couple of extended ones each month . I work out from home, there are so many fitness gurus that you can follow on TH-cam ( I follow Caroline Girvan)
Yes I said that her skin is glowing hunny 💯💯💯💯🙏
You did that. I’m gonna keep letting God change my life and help me to lose weight and better health and fast for few days and lose some weight and overcome my bad habits and get closer to God and focus on getting drivers license so I cans go to the gym.
I’m so glad that you’re including God in it all. That’s the most important part. You can definitely make it happen Carmen
I'm right there with you on getting your driver's license that's a game changer...good luck 👍
I am doing dry fast and eating alittle at the 24th hour. I find it easier than water diet. I am sleeping better, am more productive in accounting which is my job, saving time and I am hoping to loose weight. Wishing you all only the best. Happy 2023.
Keep it up! & thank you!!
Glad I found your channel. I’m recovering from a broken ankle and have gained so much weight. I’m an avid hiker and runner and being mobilized in a cast for me was awful. I have 20 1bs to lose and I have started juice/water fasti 3 days ago. Thank you for sharing your experience. You gained a new sub here
Celery juice is such a great way to get in electrolytes! Loved your video and energy. I’m ready to take this ride. Cooked vegan food such as a steamed potato drains my energy. Excited to feel alive from food!
This video is encouraging. I'm on day 6 of 60 of my Juice/ water fast and this video motivated me to keep going!!!!!
Thank you! Glad it helped!
U have inspired me! I can relate with your journey. The body pain, stress, and I feel like I’ve exhausted all options. I’ve been vegan for years but I’m still overweight, tired, and just feel perpetually sick. I did a 30 day juice fast over a decade ago and I remember I loved it. So I’m going to start again! I can’t afford the nama yet, but I’m going to buy it next month (with your code) and I’m going to go all out like u and do a 90 day fast. I’m so pumped. Thank you for sharing your story and giving me the courage to do it again.
Fasting for the win 👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾🙌🏾 I have so much mental clarity and my stomach has gone down tremendously!
Yess I love the benefits!
@@WhitneyPeoples me too sis! Thanks for the information on juicing! I'll start this weekend!
May I ask how did you do your fasting?
Do you water fast, intermittent fast or extended fast?
Thank you Whitney. I am so happy that people from all backgrounds are doing juice fast and sharing it online cause we need representation from every one!!!!!!!!! All around love love love!
Yesss! & thank you!
THIS CRAZY THAT I CAME ACROSS YOUR VIDEOS THIS MORNING CAUSE I BEEN THINKING ABOUT JUICING, AND GETTING CLOSER TO GOD , I JUST PURCHASED A JUICER OFF LINE AND I WILL BE STARTING NEXT WEEK!! THANKS FOR SHARING WITH US 💕💕
Omg that’s wonderful! So glad to hear that. Always remember to stay committed on your down days. ☺️
Hi. I just found you late last week and watched couple videos. Then I saw you starting 14 day juice fast and am here for it. It’s hard doing alone so doing with y’all will def help. Will keep checking your videos everyday. I got all my fruits and veggies and about to juice. I have a dog so will use that as my opportunity to walk. I usually let her out in the backyard but will start walking since that only can make a difference. Thanks for this channel and helping us on this health and wellness journey
Thank you Naomi and no problem! You got this.
We should all workout even if the goal isn't to lose weight. Workouts help use up the glucose in the blood. Sometimes smoothies even though it's fruit has too much sugar.
The purpose of working out isn’t all about losing weight. It’s a major benefit to lose weight but the purpose of working out is to improve your internal systems and heart health but a major system is your lymphatic system. The purpose of working out extends far beyond that.
Love how articulate you are. Thanks for taking the time to make such an inspiring video :)
Thank you! ❤️❤️
I’m using green smoothie for breakfast and dinner. Lunch is kale and carrots with chicken breast. Some week I may do a salad, In between snacks are fruits, with the help of exercise. This is what works for me, everyone is different.
Yes! & that’s awesome! Glad you found something that works for you ☺️❤️❤️
I understand. I been thinking about doing that. I am very encouraged by your video. 😊 Congratulations!🙂
Yes! You should try it. So many benefits mentally and physically. Thank you! ❤️
Thank you for this. It's confirmation that I need to do this. I haven't been feeling my best and it's time for a change. I've been including smoothies in my diet more regularly. I've pulled animal products out my diet and processed foods. But I've been feeling unhealthy sooo I'm starting this today
You got this! You can do it.
Very great informative, and beneficial information! I've been down this road up and down with so much, and realize mainly stop eating is going to do it! When you feel you need something some juice or just water, as all you need. When you're trying to lose weight, your body can use the energy from your fat to burn, food just delays that process...🙏🏽💜
It really does! I agree 100%
I'm so glad that I found your videos!! I have been thinking about juicing for several months now. Your video just showed up on my phone, and I know that this is a sign from God. I am going to start juicing today. I have ulcerative colitis, stomach problems, and cronic constipation. I felt like you were talking to me, and I'm so happy to run into your juicing videos, you have just gave me the motivation to start juicing today!! Thank you!!!❤❤❤
I believe that cleansing teas like burdock, milk thistle, dandelion and nettles would take it to the next level.
OMG Yessss! especially burdock root! Adding herbal teas elevates the experience.
Thanks for sharing your journey! I've tried to do a 7 day juice fast but only made it to 5 days, but it was in the deep of winter here in Canada. I'd love to do 90 days, but think I'd have to do that in warmer months.
Oh yes it definitely brings down your body temp. That’s one thing I didn’t like. I be cold all the time. Haha
& you’re welcome!
have u tried warm drinks? like vegetable broth, tomato soup, or slightly warming the juices? I only asked bc it works for me here in NYC but Canada is Waaayyyyy colder than us. I even do hot lemon water, with ACV and little tap of cayenne pepper, also cleansing teas (I stuck to pure leaves like peppermint & such).
5 days is still great!
Your skin is gorgeous! Thank you for the information.
You are so welcome!
Awesome!!!!!!! Sista girl, I thank you for the info and inspiration. I'm new to juicing. My brain is soaking up as much knowledge as it can. Congrats and may God bless you and your journey.
Aww thank you so much! I’m glad you’re able to learn from me and my experience ☺️
Love this video and hearing about your journey. Electrolytes are really important along with water. I even add salt to some juices and water with some squeezes of lime
Love this u go missy 💘
Vegan was no longer working for me either
I went back to juicing as well ❤️❤️
☺️
I dry fasted for 3 days. Your body has reserves of stored water. I found it was easier than water fasting.
Oh wow. This is a different perspective I haven't really heard before. Thanks for sharing.
@@WhitneyPeoples look up Autophagy. Your body rids itself of waste by using what is has and that includes water. You are very strong and very inspirational and also gorgeous
So happy about this video and proud of u
Thanks!
I'm so glad I came across your channel. I was vegan for so many years and had issues. I'm a powerlifter but my body is so strong when I'm not eating food. I'm going on a juicing journey to reset my body right now
It’s definitely a perfect time to do it now that the holidays coming to an end. You will love it for sure!
@@WhitneyPeoples I just made my week 1 juice and I'm excited that I didn't spend over $25 because I had lots of greens and stuff at home
@@WhitneyPeoples I’m new here. Recently had a baby and I am still nursing. Do you know if smoothies would yield the same results?
Awesome channel Queen. I did 44 days on juice. Now I'm going on 3 months of raw fruits and vegetables. Let's get it.
Awesome channel....Thanks for sharing your journey and experience. Highly motivating and encouraging. Shalom Sis!
That’s amazing! That’s my end goal to go raw with fruits and veggies once I’m done with juicing. Also, thank you! I appreciate that. 23 more days to go before I get to day 90 🤗! I’ll continue to share!
I have been struggling to lose weight. I have autoimmune disease's and horrible pain from a car accident I was in so many years ago. My doctor prescribed pain meds that I'm afraid to take. I'm definitely doing this.
Yes. I’ve been there before!! I hate feeling pain. This will help you a lot to lower the inflammation
Sister, I will speak the obvious. You are gorgeous. 💪🏿😍 keep goin HEALTH IS WEALTH!!!
Aww thank you!
@@WhitneyPeoples 👌🏿😉
Your energy is the sweetest! Also, electrolytes will cure that sluggish/ pass out feeling during a fast. There are a lot of sugar free options or you can make your own 🌺🌈
Thanks
Im 5’2” 150lbs and my goal is return to 120lbs so I need 30lbs off and it’s so challenging. I drop 10lbs easily and fluctuate btw that loss and plateau. The remaining 20lbs is so hard . Ughhhh
Keep trying. I know it gets discouraging but it's something that maybe happening in the gut. You may need to try probiotics and add more lemon water to your diet to help support your gut.
I’m in the same boat as you ! I can always get down to 142lbs, but that’s about it. I want to get back to 125 because being 152 is overwhelming for my body. I feel so heavy, tired, and lazy. This extra weight needs to go !
So you starting at my goal weight 🙄 of 150! I haven't seen that in some years but hopefully I find what works for my body bc the struggle has been real finding what works for me! Good luck to you!
Loved this! ❤thank you for these gems. Specifically the stages. Your skin looks amazing!
Thank you!!
SUBBED i fast regularly but I want to commit to a longer fast and You have MOTIVATED ME!!
Yesss! You can do it! ❤️🤍
I been off and on with my weight loss journey and I'm so disappointed with myself...I need to be stronger and consistent.....
I was that same person. Eventually you will get to a point where you will just do it and you will be proud of yourself. 🤍
I am grateful your video put up and I’m trying to heal and will definitely try this! Thank you!!!
You’re welcome!
Your skin is radiant
Thanks!!
Thank you for sharing your journey. ❤
No problem!
Yes starting this on Sunday thank you for inspiring me
How is it going??
Hi, new subscriber here. I’m going to start my juicing next year. I work from home so I think I can do this. I do strength training 3 days a week so I might have to add a raw meal 🥗 those days. I’ll be back with my reports. Keep me accountable.
Thank you for checking in!! I appreciate that! ☺️☺️❤️
I'm preparing myself for a juice fast for the new year as well as prepare myself to becoming a vegan..I have done a fast before its an amazing experience..i have a auto immune disease called scleroderma..I did a juice fast for 1month and it works..I'm abt to go hard body again💪🏾💪🏾just ran across your video..thank u for the information..
No problem! ☺️
Thank you for this great info! I will look at your other videos to see your journey 🙏🏽I needed some encouragement and this one hit home! New Sub here!!! beautiful blessings to you Sis 😇
Thank you so much Bri! I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
Heyy sis! Are you doing any upcoming juicing/fasting? I have never done this combo. I've done it separate but never together. Please consider doing a challenge. I would love the accountability. Did you stall at all? My body love stalling 2-3 weeks into any program that I do.
At my church, we dry fast three days straight three times a year and dry fast 6am to 6pm every Thursday. First few times its hard but after that it's easy
Oh wow! I never really could master prolong dry fast. I always get dehydrated.
@verysmartprincess I have never heard of a church dry fasting and I am interested in hearing more about this. What is the specific reason, what kind of church and where can I find more info? I like the idea of the entire church doing this 3x annually.
@@kwilson4125 not sure what fasting protocols Princess has experienced but I know of a few churches who go through a “Daniel Fast”.
I've been doing ADF since January, and I've hit a plateau. I started walking a bit.. but I need something more.
Have you tried jogging or sprinting? Sprinting usually take you out of that plateau. I had that happen to me too.
@@WhitneyPeoples oh wow... I dont know if im ready.... im so scared on the impact on my knees... maybe if I brisk walk, then start jogging a little, I will be able to sprint .. in say 6 months...
@@Ebizzill are you working out in the gym too? I’m asking because I was going to mention the stairmaster or just simply walking up and down stairs. That usually intensify the cardio as well & helps a lot.
@@WhitneyPeoples im not even going to lie, I started ADF to help my eating management and see if perhaps, my body needed rest and proper nutrition by taking exercise out of the equation. I got down to maybe 25 pounds before the plateau, and it took me almost 7 months to reach that point...which is really slow progress. (im seeing people loose than in maybe 3 months, so 7 months is telling me that im probably doing something that is hindering me from further progress) . So now that I know this, I started walking (admittedly not as consistent weekly, but still better than being laid up like a beached whale the previous 7 months), I've been fluctuating with 5 pounds the last 3 months, I should be down 15 pounds by now, but it seems I need something more aggressive. I was researching which exercise will be low impact for me to do, and still give me results efficiently, people have been saying resistance training like lifting weights, and it seemed realistic, but then now, you proposed cardio like stairs, and now im a bit indecisive again.
@@Ebizzill totally understandable. Weight training does work but not as quickly as cardio. Walking everyday for 30 minutes alone will help you see a major difference just in 2 weeks. Adding stairs to it would work even better. I don’t think you should dive into weight training with the mindset of losing weight. It’s good for muscle growth and burning some body fat but without cardio you won’t accomplish major weight loss in a shorter period of time - long term you will but not in the short term. Try not to stress about it and just do what you’re able to physically do on the daily basis. Any type of movement is better than no movement.
Oh I will add electrolytes definitely and or a healthy sea salt, Himalayan salt and pinch of it in the water, will help with those dehydration and feeling flushed...
Your right, health is wealth. When you're healthy everything else is second nature. Thank you for sharing. 😊
No problem ☺️
Make sure to drink water with electrolytes! It’s super important.
I think you’re amazing. I’m on day 3 of my first juice fast. Feeling good today. Does it get easier? xx
It does! Mainly around the end of week two onward.
Wow this sounds amazing! How did you get started? & what does your day to day look like? I would like to get into fasting but I’m currently in the very beginning stages of trying to eat healthy.
Hi Victoria, I vlogged my journey so every video after this one I talk about my experience. Also, I failed a few times when I attempted to get started but one day I just stuck with it. I believe starting with raw foods help a lot before doing a fast.
Don't plan. If you plan your brain will refuse. Start by eating early...6pm....then nothing....push it the following day as long as you can.... step by step. All the best.
Pink Salt for the electrolites to absorb the water is very very very important .
Thank you!! ❤️
I wanna fast but I'm always hungry smh 🥺🥺 I'm on antidepressants there making me gain so much weight but it doesn't hurt to try.
You can definitely do it while on meds. It may even help to one day get off of them. One thing I discovered on my journey is that is definitely changes your mood.
You're so pretty😍 thanks for sharing this information
Thank you!
I am about to do a water fast in 1st January 2023 for 8days and I had thought about trying a juice fast afterwards you have in spired me...Thanks...
☺️ I love juice fasting. I think you’ll love it. 😍
Starting tomorrow on my juice journey. Pray for me yall.
I will & I wish you the absolute best on your journey!
I can appreciate you and what you did worked for you. But there are those of us who are on medication and some are diabetics who can't juice fast.
That’s understand which is why I think some approaches should be tailored to your needs.
@@WhitneyPeoples Thank you for responding. You look great.
I just know, watched your video it was extremely well explained will expressed and very very helpful to me personally think you
Thank you! I appreciate that!
thank you for the motivation Sis..
You are so welcome!
Congratulations on your weight loss! Which juicer are you using? Your skin looks amazing
Thank you Kiki! I use Oster juicer but everyone recommends the Nama J2 juicer.
What books did you utilize for recipes? How much are you spending a week and did you buy organic?
Hi! Since I’m doing it for 90 days and now approaching day 60, It fluctuated based on my money/budget each week. In the beginning I was spending 300-400 dollars per week but I changed that because it was too expensive. I was buying primarily organic and juicing a lot more expensive fruit and veggies. Around the third week, I started being more creative with water fasting and also adding water to my green juices since my veggies and herbs weren’t producing as much juice. Some weeks I had extra money and would buy all organic and spend about $200 in combination with the watering fasting some days out of that week. I have another video posted on how I only spent $50 on juicing for the entire week buying primarily organic. You should check it out. I didn’t use a recipe book - I’m new to juicing fasting, but I’ve been juicing for years now so I already had my favorite recipes.
Do you match your veggies and fruit depending on the sugar intake? I think i use to much that make the sugar high.
I want to know this answer
Honestly, I primarily juice fruit. I've never really fell for the "too much sugar" talk when it came to fruit. I do have a go green juice that I make which consist of primarily veggies with cucumber as my fruit, but that's really it. Since I didn't go in with any health challenges regarding sugar, I really didn't feed into it. I've completely my 90-day juice fast and is now raw. I didn't come out with any health challenges from juicing the fruit. I hope this helps :-)
@@WhitneyPeoples Thanks for responding.
Thank you.
I am starting tomorrow. Thank you
Yay!!! ❤️🤍🙌🏽
& you’re welcome! ☺️
Thank you for sharing and thanks for the PDF. Your video came at a much needed time. The inflammation is what I am looking to reduce also.
☺️🙏🏽 you are welcome!
Do you believe in Mucoid Plaque? If so have u released it to Absorb the great benefits and minerals in juicing and a Raw Good Living? Do you believe we have to do a long(30+ days) juice fast to release the mucoid plaque before raw foods? Thank you for sharing with us 😊
Yes, I do believe the mucoid plaque is “real” but I do not believe that everyone has that in them to release. I believe some people may naturally accumulate more than others which is why the release it - but that’s just my opinion. I’m on day 69 and I haven’t released anything.
Ty for sharing 😊 this is the season for healthy lifestyle
🙌🏽
So glad I found your channel, I’m staring my journey now but what I wanna know is do you take a vitamin as well? While juicing?
Yes, I supplemented but not will pills - I did IV therapy. The only reason I supplemented is because of how long my fast was. Anything shortly than that, you may not need it especially if you’re not deficient in anything when starting the fast
@@WhitneyPeoples thanks
Hes something that would help . when fasting you will have symptoms of detox its like detoxing yourself from hard d r u g s you make want to throw up and you might have a headache and you might break out with pimples all this is bec your body is pushing all the nasty stuff out of your body . if you have a headache or feel sick please put some pink Himalaya salt in one glass of water . it has a ingredient in it that your body needs . also dont do cardio on any fast this is dangerous it can cause your body to break down like ypur mussels and other parts of your body you need to live . if you want to be active go on slow walks dont jog or run or do do any cardio workout .
So I am curious if you did anything or incorporated anything to ensure you got enough protein and vitamins?
I was never focused on protein but I did take in some nut milk during the first half of my juice fast. Also, I did iv therapy for minerals/vitamins
So first of all thank you for sharing, now when you say you juice fasted can you explain how you juiced specifically please
I juiced fruit and veggies for 90 days. I didn’t take in any solid foods.
Did you buy a juicer from the jump or did you buy juices as you needed?
Have you ever addressed the difference in juicing and blending?
Ok you addressed the premade juices. 👍🏾
Hi, the difference is the fiber. Also, I always had a juicer, I just never thought to go on a juice fast surprisingly
🎉congratulations! what was your starting weight? Did you lose more after this video?
Yes I loss more. My starting weight was 167 and now I’m 130. I’m drinking my juice with no cardio so that I don’t lose anymore weight. It’s working out well. ☺️
& thank you!!
@@WhitneyPeoples i doubt you'd lose more weight lol our bodies know when to chill out 😆
@@kimokat I loss 1lb after I wrote this but nothing more than that lol it must have known to chill out haha
Can you post a before and after picture because I went back through your videos and you look the same weight. You looked great then and you still look great now.
Yes, I actually started my health journey back in 2016 but over the past year I gained about 25 lbs and I was a little depressed which added to increasing the inflammation in my body. I went on the juice fast because I needed to lower the inflammation in my body and lose the unwanted weight I gained. I will be doing another video when my juice fast is over to advise on my final weight & I’ll be showing before and after pics
You have to add electrolyte to your water and juice during your fast. Sea salt will work too.
Thanks for sharing this video
No problem!
New subscriber!! Good job!!! Do you think I could have the same results with green smoothies with fruits, vegetables and water since I need the fiber?
Absolutely! As long as you do the second part I mentioned as far as walking or jogging everyday for at least an hour.
& thanks for subscribing! ❤️
@@WhitneyPeoples Yes!! Gotta walk...thanks for responding!
@@multimillionaire8763 no problem!
Did you say dry fast till 4pm
How many llitres of juice did you consume in a typical day? And how did you plan in how much fruits and veg to buy?
I was taking in 4-6 liters of juice. & I was in the grocery store everyday (by choice) so it wasn’t much thought to plan out the recipes. I would go and get fruit and leafy greens everyday and create different recipes.
Can you help by letting me know how to do this on a budget. Juicing seems kind of out of reach. I spend sooooo much. We’re there certain vegetables that you choose? Even apples are ridiculous $
I actually did a video on it. It’s on how to spend less than $50 on a juice fast. I think that would help you a lot.
How do u get protein while juicing ? Do you need protein ?
Load up on greens. I have this go green juice I made during my juice fast. You can also add homemade nut milk to your recipe list as well. I think the protein part depends on how long you plan to juice. I didn’t focus on it when I did 90 days. I really don’t feed into the protein talk to be completely transparent but I totally understand why it’s important for most people
Where can I find your recipes
Stunning
Thanks!
Just to be clear, are you solely juicing and drinking water, or are you consuming any type of food? Thanks!
No good. Just juice and water
@@WhitneyPeoples Thank you! 😊
Thank you! You are an inspiration.
Thank you!
I really appreciate your videos and your journey. How many times a day do you drink the juice?
Thank you so much! I drink juice throughout the day but I typically take in a little over a gallon per day or 6 liters at the most.
