So there is a new fad out there & it's surprisingly very healthy! After watching Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead on Netflix, it made the Mr. & I rethink our eating habits. Now, he is genealogically blessed. This boy can eat WHATEVER he wants and doesn't gain a pound. Me on the other hand, am pregnant, so everything I have been eating goes straight to my thighs. Trying out this new fad wasn't about loosing weight for either one of us...it was about getting healthy. I'm always telling him that I want him around until he is 100 years old, and that we are going to live a long, healthy life. So, off to Target we went! We bought a shiny, new juicer and even got it on sale!!! ($70 bucks instead of $100) Score!
Luckily, we have the luxury of having a Sprouts right across the street from us, so we can stock up on CHEAP produce, I mean this stuff is practically free. A container of blueberries for .77 cents...doesn't get much better. All in all, between the both of us to juice once daily, we spend on average about $10 every three days, but is totally worth it in our eyes.
So, about 3 weeks of juicing in, and we feel incredible. It's interesting just how much better you feel when you actually get your daily intake of greens. If you can afford this healthy habit, I would highly recommend it. Besides, nothing is more important than your health. Also, check out the documentary I mentioned above...it will seriously change your life. (if you don't have Netflix, I know they have it on either Hulu.com or Youtube.com for free)
Just another little added testimony, I challenged my mom to try this out to get her healthy again. She has high blood pressure (the scary high) and has been juicing for 2 weeks now. In her first week, she just did juice in the morning and substituted her breakfast. After week 1, she lost 8lbs and an entire pant size! Now, in week two, she is doing juice for breakfast AND lunch. She feels great and wants to continue her quest for healthy.
