Juice Plus Diet - Thyroid UK
What you need are optimal levels of thyroid hormones. Do you have any labs to share with us? No l haven't but will ask next time. Make the earliest appointment possible for your blood test and fast. You can drink water. Also allow 24 hours between your last dose of levo and the test and take it afterwards.
This will give the best results, also ask for a Free T3 test and it may not be done but ask anyway. It's a dreadful diet. The juices are full of sugar and other nasties. If you want to juice then you would be better off (financially and in term of health) buying a juicer and juicing your own veggies.
I have a friend who was a juice plus rep and was studying to be a personal trainer at the same time. She gave up the juice plus business when she started learning about nutrition. I lost a lot of weight on Whole30, if you have a Google. It's very good and there are excellent support groups on Facebook. Agree - Whole 30 is a healthy effective diet with a lot of support and resources out there.
I've tried the Jason Vale juice diet and pretty much stuck to it for a week, losing 10lbs. It is a pretty good mix of vegetables, fruit and avocado. Of course once you stop, the weight tends to creep back on. Juice Plus is a "multi-layered marketing company" (all but a pyramid scheme save for their product). On that basis alone, I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. If you ingest too much fructose, you may end up with a fatty liver (NAFLD), so whatever you do, go easy on the fruit and sweet veg. Try eating a grapefruit every day, with as much of the white pith as possible. Beetroot Juice to aid hypertension.
Cooked meat will look to you like rubber and taste like wet cardboard that stays stuck in your teeth. You don’t need meat, you are meat. If you think it inconceivable to survive without meat, eat it only occasionally and not more than twice a week and make sure you know where and how the meat you consume is produced (an almost impossibility).
How much Meat Do YOU Eat? The stomach is a bit like a child: give it something and it will want more until it is full. If you don’t start eating first thing in the morning, when your stomach is half asleep, when your digestive system has not even had time to empty its contents, your stomach doesn't really want any food.
Not having been active since the big dinner you gulped down last night, the energy gained from that dinner has not yet been used. You might be in the habit of eating first thing in the morning, but as you will notice, and contrary to common beliefs, your body does not need any food at this early hour. Now let us see how all this can be put into practice.
How Long Does it Take for Your Stomach to Shrink? By putting into practice the 4 new guidelines to shrink the stomach and following the timescale below it should only take a few weeks to notice a difference. Have a drink of fruit or vegetable juice instead of breakfast to help empty your bowels from the previous day’s gastronomic abuse. You may drink water throughout the day as much as you please. By lunchtime, provided you have by then emptied your bowels, eat yourself to the full and avoid meat if you possibly can. Ditto for dinner time.
By the third day or so, your stomach size will already have shrunk slightly from skipping breakfast and from being allowed to have had a rest by being empty for a few hours in the morning. Do this for two weeks. Do not continue to the next step until you are comfortable up to this point by just skipping breakfast. Once successful with skipping breakfast (it might take you longer than two weeks, you might fail and have to start again at the beginning) go on and skip lunch. At lunchtime, have one of your favorite juice drinks.
Now get into the routine of doing something you enjoy; like walking, or sleeping, or reading, or going to the hairdresser or library, or (if you must) go clothes shopping, or whatever takes your fancy and distracts you from eating. In all circumstances, don’t binge. By tea time or supper time, eat yourself to the full but go easy on meat.
After the third week, your stomach size will have shrunk even more from skipping breakfast and lunch. Now you will require smaller portions to fill you up at your evening meals. Keep this up for two weeks. By now you’ll begin to feel the benefits of shrinking the size of your stomach. Save money to go to the movies, or buy some more essential oils for your bath pampering sessions.
After the fourth week, your digestive system should gradually begin to function normally. How do you know when your digestive system function normally? When elimination takes place regularly once a day in the morning shortly after you get up. If this is not the case, carry on skipping breakfast and lunch. “But I’ll faint if I don’t eat all day.” Answer: Nonsense, if you eat real healthy food, one meal a day is sufficient for now.
