So we saw this movie…and that is how it usually starts right? That or, I read this book. In this case, we saw a movie. This movie was called Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead.
The premise is that you can change your health, reboot your body so to speak, just by drinking raw fruit and vegetable juice. ”Just” doesn’t mean easy. It means that’s all you take in. Raw fruit and vegetable juice. No chewing. No coffee. No solid foods. Just fruit and vegetables slammed into the magic juicing machine, whose name is Breville.
We decided to give it a go. We are suckers.
So the Breville juicer showed up yesterday, which led to a trip to the grocery store for all those raw fruits and vegetables. As the cashier rang up our $72 worth of raw goodies, she asked us if we liked to cook a lot. You should have seen her face when we told her we were going to turn it all into juice.
Idiots.
Tomorrow the juicing begins. Along with the caffeine headache and multiple trips to the bathroom as our intestines try to figure out what to do with all that real food. The initial reboot can last from 5-15 days. I keep thinking I want to try it for 30.
We’ll see.
