Having watched the full movie I now feel motivated for a change.
I enjoyed watching Joe Cross change his life, size and health and felt good for him! He was clearly empowered by the dramatic results and his passion to preach about his success led to many others converting to juicing.
I appreciated the realistic opinions of those involved; one woman agreed to try out a 10 day juice cleanse and following her first sip of juice said 'Oh God, that's nasty!'
The film left me with many questions that I hope to be able to answer myself...
- Will I feel exhausted and faint?
- Will I be able to continue exercising as normal? (5k average 3x a week)
- Will I poo?!
- How quickly will I notice a difference... (if any) in the way I feel?
I believe many drastic diets for example the maple syrup diet would leave me with not only questions, but concerns. I trust the film and the concept, the message is clear; pump your body with micro nutrients (found in fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds) rather than macro nutrients (processed foods like bread and sugars) and your body will feel healthier.
The following picture shown in the film was interesting to me, it makes sense and just simplifies how little nutrition there is in fatty fast food and processed foods, and how much more you can eat when the food is purer and closest to it's raw state.
I hope to remain realistic about how difficult this will be for me! I aim to begin my 'Juicing Journey' on Sunday. The duration of my first juice cleanse will be 6 days. I feel for me this is sufficiently challenging and realistic. I hope to build up to a longer cleanse in the future, and believe a short cleanse will allow me to collect tried and tested recipes in preparation for this.
